Carlos, 

You write:

===============================================================
It's simple, and I've told you several times already. The link with 
the Master, for any disciple, in in the heart, that is, in the sixth 
principle, Buddhi.

Hence authority comes from the heart.

For an aspirant to discipleship, authority also comes from the heart, 
because it is there that the link with one's higher self occurs.

The contact between HPB and her Master was in, and through, her sixth 
principle, or heart. OK?
============================================================

Carlos, I am not saying that the gist of what you write above is not 
true --- at least on some level, etc.

But the fact remains that the Master ALSO precipitated a letter of 
direction, too.  A pretty concrete manifestation!  And apparently the 
Master ALSO appeared to both HPB and Judge and had regular 
conversations, etc. about such things.

Pseudo-occultists all the time make such vague statements as those 
you make because if you make it vague enough then you can also 
justify almost any course of action, almost any statement.  

This kind of reasoning on your part is ALSO used by students of 
Besant, Leadbeater, Bailey and Prophet.  I have a file of replies 
from such students who want to discount the detailed comparisons 
showing the contradictions between HPB's original teachings and 
Leadbeater's, Bailey's versions, etc.  In almost all cases, such 
corespondents appeal to some vague level of spirituality and suggest 
that if one could only "see" at that level, beyond the words, beyond 
the intellect, beyond the rational, then it would be obvious that 
there are no real differences between HPB's original teachings and 
some later claimant's teachings such as Leadbeater. 

Also almost any claim of contact with the Masters can be justifed by 
saying that the link with the Master, for any disciple, in in the 
heart.  By putting the claim at such a level, the most contradictory 
and even absurd claims and statements can be and are justified.

OK?

Daniel
