Actually, I have no real opinion about how this particular manifestation was 
carried out. But, according to my own ABC theory, the control of the 
coenergetic field image transubstantiation by will guided by mind is entirely possible 
-- since the theory, based on the zero-point field metaphysics described in 
the SD, postulates that awareness and will are inherent characteristics of the 
zero-point of consciousness or Spirit which is everywhere, and thus fully 
entangled with all other zero-points of consciousness... Making it likely, as 
described in my previous post today, that a holographic image pattern of 
energy-frequency visualized on a higher energy spiritual-mental plane can be 
transferred to a more substantial image on a lower physical plane of energy -- by an act 
of concentrated visualization and projected will focussed in a manner which I 
am not able to describe objectively (although, I understand subjectively how 
it's done). HPB, as an initiated Adept, would certainly have been privy to 
this method on a fully conscious level. 

Incidentally, I have experienced similar psychic phenomena performed by an 
other initiated Adept (a Lama trained in the Nyingmapa tradition) -- but, while 
he attempted to explain the method, he could not put it in words, and said, 
that the technique could only be discovered subjectively, after long meditative 
practice of certain visualization techniques similar to those described by 
Patanjali. He said it took him more than seven years of almost constant practice 
guided by his teacher, to achieve the first level of physical image 
projection which he could only hold steady for a few minutes. 

One time, because I asked for a demonstration of his powers previously, he 
phoned me and told me where to look behind the toilet tank in my apartment (he 
lived in another State, but had been to my place several months before) where I 
would find a message from him. I did, and found a small piece of paper with 
a note pertaining to something that happened in the news that day, signed by 
him. After reading it I put it down on my desk, and went to prepare dinner. 
When I looked for it later, I couldn't find it. He later told me that he could 
only do that sort of projective manifestation if he had at least once visited 
and knew the exact layout of my apartment. He also said that he also had to 
know how my mind worked and whether or not I was open to believe in psychic 
phenomena or not. If not, he said, such an attempted projection could not work. 
In addition, he told me at another time that he could not work any such 
projective psychic phenomena with anyone whom he had not looked, at least once, 
deeply in their eyes. He later explained what he did when he so looked (but 
describing it here would not be appropriate). He also said the reason I couldn't 
find the note after reading it, was that he could only hold it in place while 
concentrated in his trance. After a few minutes, the effort was too exhausting 
to hold much longer. He said if I continued to watch it on my desk after I 
put it down, I would have seen it waver, become transparent, and disappear, or 
even shatter -- depending on how he let go. 

So, I wonder if even HPB's so called precipitated mahatma letters, or her 
messages to Judge, had a similar fate? Could this also be why psychic phenomena, 
never seems to work while there are skeptics among the observers? Could 
their rejective thoughts be the trigger that prevents the effect from occurring? 
Are they also smart enough to never look directly in the eyes of the psychic? 
And, is that why HPB could only perform her psychic phenomena when among her 
friends and admiring believers? Isn't it also a fact that she rarely, if 
ever, did any phenomena except among a small circle of such close friends and 
associates? 

HPB, of course, was a natural born psychic, and had practiced some primitive 
forms of phenomena like raps and bells since she was a child. Thus, her later 
initiation by the Tibetan Mahatmas to perform even more complex phenomena 
would have come to her quite easily. Perhaps, such early psychic training, along 
with her classical education in Russia, her artistic visualization talents, 
and proficiency with languages, was why they chose her to be their telepathic 
amanuenses in the first place. Didn't they actually say she was the best they 
could find at the time? 

In any event, to set the record straight, I have no illusions that HPB was a 
saint, or that everything she said or did was entirely on the up and up. So, 
I wouldn't be surprised if she resorted to trickery whenever the circumstances 
required her to perform a convincing psychic phenomena among an audience she 
might not be certain was entirely mesmerized by her charisma. I know that if 
I were in her shoes, and the Masters told me that it was necessary to hold an 
audience in thrall by the use of such tricks, I would do so in a trice (but 
not before I was certain my trick would not be exposed -- like any good stage 
magician. :-) 

Incidentally, that's also why I came to the SD as a complete agnostic, and 
spent almost 20 years trying to not only rip it apart, but assiduously searching 
for its linkages to the cutting edges of modern and post modern science that 
completely contradicted the classical science prior to Einstein's proof of the 
relativity and quantum theories that were presented almost full blown in that 
seminal tome... This parallelism almost convinced me of the truth of its 
metaphysics -- until, I became finally convinced after finding the basis there of 
current Superstring/M-brane theory that entirely synthesizes both relativity 
and quantum theory... And, as a result, could confidently formulated my ABC 
theory to encompass them all. 

Consequently, I have no doubt that when the final scientific paradigm that 
constitutes a complete theory of everything (including the theory of 
consciousness that is science's current bugaboo) is formulated -- it will look much like 
the theory of ABC -- which exactly follows the formulae, and step by step 
globular field involutional and evolutional processes guided by Spirit or 
consciousness, as described in the Book of Dzyan... And, also follows, with the same 
exactitude, the explanation of the metaphysics of Cosmogenesis and 
Anthropogenesis explained by the Masters (with the help of HPB) in the commentaries on the 
Stanzas in the Secret Doctrine. 

I hope this clarifies my position on the subjects brought up in recent 
correspondence concerning psychic powers and their validity or not.

Best wishes.
