Theos-Talk Archives (September 2004 Message tt00094)

Hi Daniel,

Keeping in mind that HPB herself said that Truth is a many faceted 
reality, all of which is seldom possible of view by one individual, 
perhaps it is reasonable to make the assessment you request on a 
personal level. If one reads the material produced and it "rings 
true," it is beneficial. If it does not, it may not be suitable. But 
who could say for another what material is best?

As for all the controversy swirling around Masters, i.e. do they 
exist, do they communicate through anyone, etc., I suggest that the 
whole subject is far too mysterious for us to fully or competently 
understand at this time. According to the ancient teaching, all human 
beings are Masters in embryo, so to speak, all creation is a 
hierarchical geometrical entity. Everyone is a part of the Lodge of 
Masters, much in the same way that children are a part of their 
family. If one is in doubt about the existence of Masters, perhaps he 
or she has not found the place within where the Master dwells.
