Doesn't change anything. What's wrong with or different about Westerners 
that they have to be lied to about the nature of God? I thought they had to be 
taught theosophy in "the language of this age" not in context with or "in the 
idiom" of their own religions with their false theologies. What has Anna 
Kingsford have to do with it? Does she speak for HPB or the Masters? If you have 
any "specifics" to rest your case on -- please quote them -- or stop "talking 
through your hat" to wiggle out of your own misstated opinions about the nature 
of theosophy. The original question was, in essence; "What is theosophy"? 
Or, did you forget that? :-)
