The reason for contradictions is so called Mahatma Letters were not
written by Mahatmas. It was Blavatsky who materialized letters with
her own incorrect understanding of Mahatma's thoughts. 
Leadbeater and Besant wrote what they experienced. And despite contact
with the same Masters, each disciple may understand Masters and their
work differently. That is why there are differences among occultists. 
You can note that Subba Rao also was disciple and was in contact with
Masters and yet he had opinions different from Blavatsky.
