Agreed. Now is there a way to synthesis these statements into greater
understanding rather than judging the statements of one speaker by the
assumptions of the other?

What does "our sacred philosophy" mean? Do we accept as our Master a voice
that seems to lash out:

" In such a case the less such idiots hear of our doctrines the better
for both. If they do not want the whole truth and nothing but the
truth, they are welcome. But never will they find us - - (at any rate)
- -compromising with and pandering to public prejudices."

Is this the basis for the brotherhood of ALL?

When we antropomorphize the God principle are really just imagining a big
old guy sitting on a planet somewhere in outer space with his chin in his
palm musing to himself about the goings on on the 3d rock from the sun?

HPB, KH, M, CWL, AB, JC, DK, nor any other entity sporting a set of initials
is infallible. Can we accept this?

Do the masters have their own "Chiefs"?
Do the chiefs have their more powerful "Bosses" as well?
Did the theosophical masters favor some humans over others with first hand
direct experience of their existence and powers? May I demand the same
proof for myself?

If conditions have reached the point in this manvantara where Masters can
produce teacups willy-nilly, then can we expect to find, further up the food
chain, gods who can produce worlds and even solar systems with like ease?
Might a sun be the chief manifestation of such a being?

What does it matter what we believe about these matters anyway?

If we wake up to ourselves tomorrow with the power to materialize a tea cup
will we write letters to a select few calling our less capable brethren
"idiots" or will we feed a multitude with a few pieces of fish and some
bread?
