HPB -- an Occult Mirror

Dear friends,
As we discuss HPB's loyalty and respect for Truth, and perhaps have to
decide whether we consider as "theosophical texts" those old 19th century
libels fabricated against her and recently published by the TPH -- this
paragraph by Robert Crosbie may be rather useful:
H.P.BLAVATSKY AS AN OCCULT AND PSYCHOLOGICAL MIRROR:
"If we would look at the bodily H.P.B. as a mirror which reflected from
above and from below as well, giving back to each who confronted it his own
reflection according to his nature and power to perceive, we might get a
better understanding of her nature. To the discriminative, it was a well of
inspiration; in it the commonplace, the Judas, the critic, and every other
saw himself reflected. Mighty few caught a glimpse of the real
individuality. Each got the evidence that he sought. We have the Master’s
words that the body of H.P.B. was the best that they had been able to obtain
for many centuries. Those who looked at the body and its human
characteristics got what the view was capable of giving them; those who
looked at the mind behind got what came from it, in the degree of their
comprehension; those who were able to look into the causes of things saw
what their depths of sight gave them – more or less of Truth. 'By their
fruits, shall ye know them'.
[Robert Crosbie, in "The Friendly Philosopher", The Theosophy Co., Los
Angeles, 1945, see p. 150.]
