Theos-Talk Archives (October 2008 Message tt00625)

One of the problems folks have with the tales of HPB and the Masters is  that 
the stories sound fantastic.  But to anyone who has actually done  serious 
experimental work in projection they make perfectly good sense.

Daniel,

What a great work you have done, compiling all this material  and 
being able to supply the relevent items when needed. Those of us who  
feel reverence for the great soul that was HPB are truly grateful 
that  we are still able to have the eyewitness accounts to inform us 
and others  about what really happened in those formative days. 

Thank  you!

Adelasie
