Actually I think the Masters overdid it a bit.  There are subtler yet  surer 
ways of getting ideas into people's heads.

There is quite a cult of personality grown up about the founder but 
do  not let that obscure her real purpose which was the dissemination 
of the  ancient wisdom by the masters of the wisdom. HPB was uniquely 
fitted for  the mission and that is why she was chosen by them for the 
task.  

That is of course, if you believe in the masters and their ancient  
wisdom that they went to great lengths to demonstrate and offer  
prooofs about thru her. HPB was all about being a channel for the  
hidden knowledge but her gargantuan personality sometimes is  
mistakenly given center stage.
