If genuine in trying to be honest and responcible investigators into
the inner planes and then writing "Manuals" as "servants of the Masters".

Again my question is why did they not point out the glaring
inconsistencies with the Mahatma's teachings they claimed to be the
servants of???

Again and again the implied authority is reinforced by the kind of
statements below.

"But these manuals are not written only for the eager student, whom no
initial difficulties can daunt; they are written for the busy men and
women of the work-a-day world, and seek to make plain some of the
great truths that render life easier to bear and death easier to face.
Written by servants of the Masters who are the Elder Brothers of our
race, they can have no other object than to serve our fellow-men."

Preface from the Astral Plane.

Also notice "render life easier to bear"
Religion does the same thing, I think Marx had something to say about
that.
