         It should not be forgotten that there are several degrees of =
chelaship. A higher chela works under other conditions and restrictions =

        Perhaps that is one of the reasons for his own ring-pass-not, =
his failing as a lay chela and the loss of contact to the Masters =
through HPB - at least when she was kicked off from Adyar and launched =
