Listen Chuck:

Anyone who isn't ambivalent about "The Masters" as theosophy presents them,
isn't very bright. You'll notice I never use the term, I find it misleading
and juvenile. We don't have two groups because an Adept is always quite
competent, especially in his or her own field of work. You know, and I know
that what you saw in your bedroom was just an ordinary "spook"...the
so-called "Masters" depicted by CWL and "David Anrias" are sheer sake oil,
and one is far more likely to meet one of the Adepts on the street, or even
through E-Mail, than have them wander through the bedroom wall.. The T.S.
claims loudly to be entirely opposed to the spiritualists but the conception
of "The Masters" is dreadfully spiritualist in character.

I very much doubt that the T.S. would even dream of wanting a serious study
of "The masters", so I'm in the process of so doing. That's what
"Connections, connections is becoming.
