You're hitting on some pretty serious stuff, Krishtar. I would hope one of 
the aims of theosophy and meditation is not only to study and someday view 
antediluvian history, the rounds and races- but to experience one's eternal 
nature- the buddhi/Christos/Holy Nam which harmonizes, and the 
Atma/Godhead/Father/Monad from which we issue as one-off personalities. When 
that happens, it doesn't matter if someone says they were Jesus or Buddha or 
Blavatsky- or any other holy hotstuff personality- they can go fly a kite 
for all that- it's worthless. And they're worthless too. Like the man says, 
that's fine, but what can you do for me today?
You can believe that some nitwit in a turban is Lord Maitreya and Leon was 
Moses and Nettymara was HPB- but what good are they doing anyone?
It's ego games, and we're all guilty of it. We have to get over who we are. 
And maybe the bigger the ego to overcome, the bigger service the person can 
ultimately offer.

The other serious issue is the nihilistic, depressive influences bombarding 
today's youth, ever since the 60's. This is not happenstance, it is imo, a 
concentrated effort by the Lefthand Path ones.
Because there are no heroes for the children except for narcissistic, 
mindless rockstars, and I believe it is far worse today than in the 
60's-70's ( my era ;-) At least back then, there was a vision of peace and 
altruism, even if it was totally unrealistic. Some of those overdosed heroes 
actually dabbled in the works of HPB and AAB.

In any case, as you say, we must meditate and find the answer within, 
which then grows outward into our daily lives.....influencing our own 
children, neighbors, the world. So don't sell inner knowledge short, even if 
the exoteric world is in a big hurt.

regards-

Ali
