The "sensationalists". Who are they really?
What does Theosophy have to say about those who are drawn irresistibly to the 
glittering shows prersented by Maya?
Help is available.
What kind of person will accept it(help)?
A "healthy" scepticism is , i believe, necessary in this day and age when so 
much is being thrown out into the world as phenomona.
The word "healthy" is of interest.
All religions mention purification as a part of the regimen necessary for the 
proper procedure for "entering" into "higher" states. Why not take a tip from 
Religion? If those states could be likened to grades of gold ore then we 
could say that fools and knaves who make no effort at purifying self get the 
"gold of Ophir" and those who make the efforts may get 64 k or 16k or even 
14k gold BUT the whole world KNOWS? that gold exists.
So , it could be safely said that , like gold, Masters of Wisdom exist.
And the question remains what kind of Masters do fools and knaves get?
Back to health we see that earnest efforts at studying and applying the three 
truths of Theosophy will probably result in some "findings" of higher grade 
ore and further purification results in finer and finer actions on behalf of 
all that lives. But always there is this refining process going on. Who can 
"know" it all in light of this realization?
And a word on Universal brotherhood, is this not another two words for the 
"process" we, humanity, are all involved in?
