   If Spiritual teachers give what seems as contradictory information on certain teachings there may be several reasons for this. One, they are often speaking to students who may be at vastly different levels of developement. Hence the need to simplify or make more complex certain aspects of the spiritual teachings. This is also why advanced work of this type needs privacy. Some observer who is trying to evaluate the interlectual truthfuness, clearity, or consistency of a Masters teachings  from outside the context in which these teachings are given may completely misunderstand. Radiatory presence or what HPB designates as  the nature of"tulku" simply translated means the Masters energy field which accounts for most of what transpires between a student and teacher. Without an understanding or first hand exsperience of this Radiatory prescence the Masters teachings are often seen by casual observers   as mere interlectual discoarses. This is also why many Masters and senior
 adepts can often be seen meditating in complete silence with their students. Here without interruption they are letting their Fiery prescence do the neccessary inner work on their disciples or students. For some casual observer looking mainly for the historical facts of any type of esoteric work in this  Master student exchange will naturally fail to see this deeper truth. This is sort of like trying to catch water in a net. Everytime you lift the net the  illusive nature of the water slips through the mesh and what remains is whatever our lower minds have been trained to see in the apparent emptyness. The Buddha grasped this interresting paradox when he stated that "In the market place the thief sees only the pockets of the Master". The lower mind is very adapt and adroit at  reinforcing its own limited beliefs on any given subject that it doesn't understand or cannot fathom.  It is upon the inner planes that the real magic resides and it is from here that true
 transformation or initiation can take place to those who are fortunate enough or through good karma are able to resides within Masters energy field. The wonderious but hidden workings of Adepts and Masters are a science of energy transference which may seem highly suspicious or even contraditory  to those outside of this subjective process. The fact remains that you cannot pin down to simple texts or mental analises that which is taking place on far deeper levels then the lower mind can go or penetrate. It is not for nothing that HPB has said that "the mind is the slayer of the real"

  "Men think they seek me,
  but it is I who seek them.
  No other seeker is there than myself.
  And when I find my own,
  the pain of questing is at an end.
  The fish graspeth the hook,
  seeking to find food,
  but the fisherman is the enjoyer of the meal".
