I hope this lays to rest this constant bombardment of quotes that appears to be, besides a confirmation of the compiler's beliefs or opinions based on a literal acceptance, a more or less futile attempt to denigrate my own theosophical or occult knowledge and judgment -- which may or may not be correct. But, that's for each of us to find out for ourselves -- without reliance on the statements or opinions of others (no matter who they are or claim to be).
The problem is that, if you base your belief in the concepts that have been promulgated in Blavatsky's works and the Mahatma letters on the genuity of the phenomena, then any fakery in the latter implies falsehood of the former. Except that gets one into a conundrum, as the former emphasize that acceptance of the concepts should NOT be based on the authority of the writers, but on their own merits.
