Meaning, in light of #10, when religion as we know it no longer
exists?

Sinnett's later career shows little appreciation for the gravity
of this message.  He forced his London Lodge members to promise
not to visit the Blavatsky lodge, rejected the Secret Doctrine
because it corrected some errors in his own writings, went behind
HPB's back for alternative channels to the Masters...  His
autobiography is fascinating but mainly (IMO) as a warning as to
how wrong one can go despite abundant opportunities.  Until his
death he remained an ethnocentric Englishman who looked down on
most everyone outside his social class.

Which raises the interesting question of when HSO did so; my
choice would be November 1883 when he met KH in Lahore and
proceeded to Jammu.
