Daniel: "Are you now trying to tell us that you do not accept the 
basic statement in this quote?"

The point is you only use it for not answerring the mails as such.

For example did you answer the below ?

These links describe thrue or not sources of the SD and so on ?

Blavatsky "never" involved with fraud ?

The point is you are not giving her her place in history by claiming 
(your version of) "Morya", "KH" and so on Did it all.
The point in the links above wich I suggested Daniel comments to if 
it isnt true, clearly show that the sources of Blavatsky 
wheren't "Masters" but clearly "books" that she "sythesised"

Steve: "Coleman pretty well documented the fact that Isis and the SD 
were both composed from materials drawn from about 100 books each. 
HPB did not even have to go to India. She could have gotten 
everything she needed at the New York library on 42nd street. HPB 
read Wallace's Miracles and Modern Spiritualism because it is on 
Coleman's list. She also read Wallace's books on evolution. It seems 
logical to me she learned about him by reading books on spiritualism, 
then got interested in evolution through him. Blavatsky herself 
pointed out that Alfred Russell Wallace defended the idea that 
evolution is guided by intelligence, and that he pointed to certain 
anomalies that cannot be explained by the Darwin theory in support of 
this view. Wallace was a spiritualist, and wrote a book about it 
entitled Miracles and Modern Spiritualism. He is also regarded as a 
significant evolutionary theorist, although modern scientific 
historians do not put him on the same plane with Darwin. She also 
quoted from Grove's Correlation of Physical Forces. That book is also 
cited in a book on spiritualism which HPB read. The spiritualism book 
misquotes Grove to make it appear he supported her idea of 
elementals, and I think it is logical that her interest in Grove came 
from reading the book that cited him. Most of the rest of her trains 
of thought can be easily traced out the same way. She read about 
spiritualism, and then was led into other areas of study from there. 
The title page of the SD, clearly states that the book is 
a "synthesis." The text of the book also says it is a synthesis."
