Although I'm sure there's a lot of it you understood and realized the truth 
of, it's also a shame that, even for those who also take the time and make the 
effort to study through the whole Secret Doctrine, there are a few who get 
caught up in the allegorical dead letter blinds HPB intentionally confused the 
higher keys with, choke on them, and for fear of drowning, miss much of the 
deeper metaphysical truths and their scientific correlation's that reach across 
all disciplines. On the other hand, if there are those whom, because of such 
superficial study (or no study at all) accept the interpretations of self 
claimed theosophical gurus and "leaders" without question or judgment, and turn it 
into their blind religious belief, I understand your calling yourself a 
"heretic." In that sense, I am one too . . . (three and I'm out :-) Andthat 
goes for all the current slew of separate TS orgs, wherever they park, and 
whatever dogma they preach.
