Sorry, Alexis, but I'm still disturbed. For me, there is a major
disconnect between being amused and being aghast. I'm not aghast at
things that amuse me, and I'm not amused by things that make me
aghast, but then I'm not an adept.

I hope to find out that this attribution of fascist thinking to HPB,
and via her to the Masters, is simply false. Explanations on the lines
of -'well, it might be so, but she probably didn't really mean it, and
the Masters had a good chuckle' - don't wash any dirty linen with me,
in fact they upset me more.
