If materialization could be shown to be a fact that would offer 
considerable support to the SD, which assumes the solar system is a 
materialization.

If the materializations were a squalid hoax the way Bart Lidofsky 
insists that they were, that would regrettably undermine the 
credibility of everything Blavatsky said and did.

If her clairvoyance was real, and it is probably slightly more 
reasonable to assume that it was than to assume that it was not (I 
would plaece those two at about equal probabilities, in the abence of 
further evidence) then the immensely difficult problem arises how to 
validate a clairvoyant perception of reality that by its nature 
cannot be checked any other way. I have studied that problem for 
many years and still have found no way to get around relying on faith.
