Do you mean that you can't verify whatever knowledge you have through your 
own inner study or experience? Or, are you talking about the historical 
knowledge? As for the scientific and metaphysical information, as far as I know it 
was simply reported, and certainly didn't falsify the documentary information 
it was based on. With regard to the information about Einstein's connection 
with the Secret Doctrine -- which, in fact, triggered the initial question about 
Cranston's reliability -- I think there is enough first hand knowledge and 
documentation to give it credence beyond any shadow of a doubt.
