Carefully notice what Master Koot Hoomi wrote to 
A.P. Sinnett about the value of the occult 
phenomena performed, especially the words:

". . . you will then have done real good to the
cause of truth. . . . "

". . . It imposes upon you the sacred duty to instruct
the public and prepare them for future possibilities
. . . . "

A more complete copy of KH's words is appended below:

=====================================================
In regard to the production of newly devised and
still more startling phenomena demanded of her
with our help, as a man well acquainted with the
strategy, you must remain satisfied with the
reflection that there is little use in acquiring
new positions until those that you have already
reached are secured, and your Enemies full aware
of your right to their possession. In other words,
you had a greater variety of phenomena produced
for yourself and friends than many a regular neophyte
has seen in several years. First, notify the public
of the production of the note, the cup and the sundry
experiments with the cigarette papers, and let them
digest these. Get them to work for an explanation.
And as except upon the direct and absurd accusation
of deceit they will never be able to account for some
of these, while the skeptics are quite satisfied with
their present hypothesis for the production of the
brooch -- you will then have done real good to the
cause of truth and justice to the woman who is made
to suffer for it. Isolated as it is, the case under
notice in the Pioneer becomes less than worthless --
it is positively injurious for all of you -- for
yourself as the Editor of that paper as much as for
anyone else, if you pardon me for offering you that
which looks like advice. It is neither fair to
yourself nor to her, that, because the number of
eye-witnesses does not seem sufficient to warrant
the public attention, your and your lady's testimony
should go for nothing. Several cases combining to
fortify your position as truthful and intelligent
witness to the various occurrences, each of these
gives you an additional right to assert what you
know. It imposes upon you the sacred duty to instruct
the public and prepare them for future possibilities
by gradually opening their eyes to the truth.
