During the summer of 1884, Master KH wrote 
to Mrs. Holloway:

"Your vivid creative fancy [imagination] 
evokes illusive Gurus and chelas, and puts 
into their mouths words coined the instant 
before in the mint of your mind, unknown to 
yourself. The false appear as real, as the 
true, and you have no exact method of detection 
since you are yet prone to force your communications 
to agree with your preconceptions. . . . " 
Mrs. Holloway and the Mahatmas, Letter 17.

Compare the above with what Master KH wrote in 1900
to Annie Besant:

"The intense desire to see Upasika reincarnate at once has raised a 
MISLEADING MAYAVIC ideation....You have for some time been under 
DELUDING influences. Shun pride, vanity and love of power. Be not 
guided by emotion but learn to stand alone. Be accurate and critical 
rather than credulous. . . . The best corrective of error is an 
honest and open-minded examination of all facts subjective and 
objective. . . . You will have to leave a good deal of your emotions 
and credulity before you become a safe guide among the influences 
that will commence to work in the new cycle." Caps added.

The thoughtful student might ponder on whether both
Mrs. Besant and Mr. Leadbeater were sidetracked
by "misleading mayavic ideations" and were under
"deluding influences."
