Theos-Talk Archives (July 2006 Message tt00498)

The word "claim" here is used in a very neutral
way.  

One could say:

HPB claimed or maintained or asserted...

I personally think there is an abundant amount of evidence that
her claims, her assertions were completely justified and true.  

For example, it seems to me that the testimony of H.S. Olcott as to 
the existence of HPB's Master shows that HPB's claims or assertions 
were true and factual:

Witness the testimony of others who gave evidence of the existence
of her teachers:

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

In summary:  I personally believe in the existence of HPB's
Teachers.
