M. Sufilight says:
Perhaps. 
What you may take to be attractive, or even spread out by us to be attractive to you, may well not be intended in this manner at all. That which attracts you, or others, about us may be that which is laid down by us as a tool which enables us to regard you (or others) as unsuitable.

The role of the teacher is to provoke capacity in the student, to provide what there is when it will be useful, to guide him towards progress. It is not to impress, to give an impression of virtue, power, importance, general information, knowledge or anything else.

To learn something, you, may often have to be exposed to it many times, perhaps from different perspectives; and you also have to give it the kind of attention which will enable you to learn. In our experience, people fail to learn from our wise materials for the same reason that they do not learn other things - they read selectively. The things that touch them emotionally, or which they like or are thrilled by, they will remember or seek in greater quantity and deepth.

  No,

  I will not leave myself and my reputation open to your sharpened sword er should I say pen; and your lack of duo-perspective. 

  The point of view should speak for itself. We are not in the age of letters falling through thin air, or are we? We have e-mail. 

  I am familiar with all the groups I mentioned including the E.R. and again, as the Mahatma KH wrote A.B. so many years ago about a need to change the workings of the E.S., I see very little that has changed, if books on T.S. history are accurate. The E.S. is not the only doorway through which one can achieve salvation and enlightenment. There are 7 rays, and 7 paths that we have been made aware of in T.S. teachings.

  "At the Feet of the Master" says it all. A simple book to read, but one that takes lifetimes to master.

  Would the concerned member reveal his/her identity? It would be helpful to
  understand his point of view.
