Dear Erica,

Is it possible that we don't know enough to make such a 
determination?

Such an accomplished adept as HPB could surely write in more than one 
style. Also, when a high entity communicates with someone in 
manifestation, the message comes through the latter, and can be 
colored by his/her personality in matters of expression.

Perhaps HPB's teachings about mediumship did not apply to her own 
case. She was not a medium, such as those she warned against. She was 
a high adept, with a crucial work to do for the human race. Judge was 
her chosen successor, and perhaps there are things possible in the 
universe that we simply do not understand. Our lack of ability to 
comprehend does not make them impossible.

I have no way of determining the validity of Judge's claim, and 
certainly do not wish to convince anyone of one side of the argument 
or the other. But it does seem advisable, in the light of the crucial 
nature of the work of Theosophy for the evolution of humanity, that 
we at least exercise a bit of tolerance in considering such 
questions. More may depend upon our conclusions that we could know.
