Re Contradiction Concentration-Letter

Contradiction re concentration Letter?
  
HPB writes:
  
"[[The Tantrists]] five Breaths and 
five Tattvas are chiefly concerned with 
the prostatic, epigastric, cardiac 
[[heart]], and laryngeal plexuses.  . . . 
with followers of the old school it 
is different. We begin with mastery 
of that organ which is situated at 
the base of the brain, in the pharynx, 
and called by Western anatomists the 
Pituitary Body." (BCW, XII, P. 616)
  
   I'd call concentrating on an image 
of a teacher in your heart a "beginning" 
exercise as it was presented in the 
"concentration-letter" and ES Instruction 
V  (BCW XII, p. 696), yet Blavatsky says 
in ES Instruction III, that HER school 
has their "beginning" exercise on 
concentrating in the head.  Isn't this 
a contradiction and evidence the 
"concentration-letter" is phoney?

   Good gods!  Chuck is actually related 
to a Pope (might even have been directly 
in those days!)
