Richard, thanks for the excellent posting.  I have to suspect
that the real reason TS fundmentalists hate Paul's thesis so
much is his idea that HPB deliberately fibbed about the Masters.
If this is accepted, then perhaps she fibbed elsewhere as well,
opening a Pandora's Box.  Gee, then we would all have to ferret
out the truths from the fibs ourselves, which is a lot harder
than taking it all on faith.  I once posted an essay on morality
on theos-l, in which I linked occultism with Kolberg's Morality
Levels.  People at the highest levels tend to fib if there is
sufficient justification.  I suspect that HPB was at a very
high moral level.
