You state your position very forcefully, as usual. But I don't accept it.
I've read the literature too, and we have an entirely different "take" on
it. If as you imply, HPB had made a distinction ONLY between Mediumship and
Adepthood, and if I believed her position was that only a "Mahatma" was or
could be an adpet, I wouldn't be an active theosophist, for you see that
would mean HPB was totally in error about a very important subject. I don't
think she was, but I know you are.
