Theos-Talk Archives (July 2003 Message tt00273)

Steve wrote in part:

". . . some say the mahatmas were all fantasies . . . . "

Let interested readers consult the primary source documents 
concerning the Mahatmas and determine if the adepts were fantasies 
or not.

See:

A Casebook of Encounters with the Theosophical Mahatmas
http://www.blavatskyarchives.com/mastersencounterswith.htm

Keep in mind that even K. Paul Johnson believes that
at least in one of the cases cited in the above 
source [see Case 2],

". . . there is LITTLE DOUBT that two REAL adepts visited 
Olcott in New York." (p. 62) Caps added.

Even the hostile skeptic of Blavatsky, Brigitte Muehlegger
agreed that with this Case 2 the adepts were NOT
fantasies.

It is not clear to me how Johnson or Muehlegger came to that
determination, but if it is a reasonable conclusion in that
one case, then why not in the other cases cited above?
