Steve, 

You recently wrote on Theos-Talk:

====================================================

I have been compelled to change my mind on numerous things
after reading the remarks of K. Paul Johnson....

======================================================

So Steve, I ask you again in this public forum, have you
now changed your mind on the following which you
wrote a year or two back?

==========================================================

. . . the only proof we can have of the masters'
historical existence is testimony from a qualified
witness, and we have that from Olcott. . . . Olcott's
testimony is sufficient in my judgment to establish
their corporeal existence as legal persons. . . .
I cannot agree with anyone that they were fictions,
fantasies, imagined beings, trance personalities,
or any such thing as that unless the Olcott evidence
can be satisfactorily disposed of. I raised that
question some time ago, and no one has ever addressed
it, so for that reason I remain stubbornly convinced
that the mahatmas were real men as they were claimed
to be.
========================================================

If you have changed your position about Olcott and the
Masters, I'm sure many readers on this forum would like to know 
EXACTLY what changed your mind.
