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!)
