Here is a part of the story:


The first part of this extract is the account in "Hints on Esoteric 
Theosophy," to which Colonel Olcott refers in his deposition, &c. _______

"Hints on Esoteric Theosophy," No. 1, pp. 79, 82, 83.

"One evening, at New York, after biding H. P. B. good night, I sat in my 
bed-room, finishing a cigar and thinking.  Suddenly there stood my Chohan 
beside me.  The door had made no noise in opening, if it had been opened, 
but at any rate there he was.  He sat down and conversed with me in subdued 
tones for some time, and as he seemed in an excellent humour towards me, I 
asked him a favour.  I said I wanted some tangible proof that he had 
actually been there, and that I had not been seeing a mere illusion or maya 
conjured up by H. P. B.  He laughed, unwound the embroidered Indian cotton 
fehta he wore on his head, flung it to me, and --- was gone.  That cloth I 
still possess, and it bears in one corner the initials (---) (1) of my 
Chohan in thread-work. . . ."

"I do not know whether or not there is any significance in the fact of my 
Chohan's visiting me on the night of the 27th, but you may.  He made me 
rise, sit at my table and write from his dictation for an hour or more. 
There was an expression of anxiety mingled with sternness on his noble face, 
as there always is when the matter concerns H. P. B., to whom for many years 
he has been at once a father and a devoted guardian.  How I do hope you may 
see him!  You would confess, I am sure, that he was the finest possible type 
of man.

"H. S. OLCOTT."

Just try to read the akasha on the story in the above and you will see.

Compare and contrast the Coulomb Testimony with other testimony
Part I

I don't think one has to be an "experienced" Theosophist or
a "scholarly" researcher in order to do some simple
comparing and contrasting and asking some relevant questions
and doing some basic thinking about the subject.

For example, compare Emma Coulomb's "explanations" for
the appearances of the Masters which can be found at:

http://blavatskyarchives.com/coulombandhodgson.htm#Coulomb

with the following 4 accounts:

Account 1

"On the next occasion, when we were chatting in the above verandah
as usual, another Brother, clothed in a white dress, was suddenly
seen as if standing on a branch of a tree. We saw him then
descending as though through the air, and standing on a corner edge
of a thin wall. Madame then rose up from her seat and stood looking
at him for about two minutes, and-as if it seemed-talking inaudibly
with him. Immediately after, in our presence, the figure of the man
disappeared, but was afterwards seen again walking in the air
through space, then right through the tree, and again disappearing."


Account 2

"That very night while I was going to bed in Col. Olcott's room,
with all doors closed, and in good lamp light, I was startled to see
coming out, as it were, of the solid wall, the astral form of my
most revered Guru Deva [Mahatma K.H], and I prostrated before him,
and he blessed me and desired me to go and see him beyond the
Himalayas, in good Telugu language....He disappeared in the same way
as he appeared."

Account 3

"His manner of walking was so gentle that not a footstep, not the
slightest sound, was audible; nor did he appear to move, by his
gestures. It was only the change of position that made us see he had
come nearer and nearer....He held out and put his hands twice over
Mme. B.'s head. She then stretched out her hand which passed through
his --- a fact proving that what we saw was a mayavi rupa
[apparitional body], although so vivid and clear as to give one the
impression of a material physical body. She immediately took the
letter from his hands. It crumpled, as it were, and made a sound. He
then waved his hands toward us, walked a few steps, inaudibly and
imperceptibly as before, and disappeared! Mme. B. then handed the
letter to me, as it was intended for me."

Account 4

"In one corner of the room there appeared a thin vapoury substance
of a shining white colour. Gradually it took shape, and a few dark
spots became visible, and after a short time it was the fully-formed
body of a man, apparently as solid as an ordinary human body. This
figure passed and re-passed us several times, approaching to within
a distance of a yard or two from where we were standing near the
window. It approached so near that I think that if I had put out my
hand I might have touched it."

Does Emma Coulomb's account explain these appearances?

etc. etc.
