That is closer to my point of view. Even my reading of Blavatsky is 
occasionally punctuated with looking at the levels of knowledge of 
certain other areas, in order for interpretation. There is quite a bit 
of terminology which is so common today that we forget that there was no 
equivalent terminology in Blavatsky's time.
