Some of us just don't see it like this at all.  It is as if we are reading
different letters.   Marion Meade, from the pieces that were quoted, was
only able to see outside, and that as she saw it.  We all tend to see the
outside of things differently.  She couldn't see the pearls.  Just reading
the MAHATMA LETTERS isn't enough.  To what extent is she (Meade) interested
in practical Theosophy?  Practical Theosophy, study and meditation can
enable the student/tourist to see rather more.  Can aid in ferreting out the
inner meaning. Can help to go to the CAUSE, rather than getting caught up in
the effects.

The very simple answer is, they are not.

This is because you are getting in the way (this is not meant to be
personal, we all do it) of what is really being said.

>And WHY would a "Master"

Because of the occult TRUTHS and warnings they convey.

Because of the ignorance and limitations of Western Science.

Persistence with the letters, and a true interest in going to the inner
meaning,  makes the Marion Meade quotes irrelevant.  The letters are a
life-time(s) study . . .
