	Paul, I pretty much had to do such an analysis
on my own.  I did a lot of comparing between Theosophy and
theosophy, years ago.  I found much that seems to be true, based 
on my study and experience.  Some that is not true.  And a
large chunk, mostly from the SD, that simply has to be
accepted on faith, or put on hold awaiting more data.  But
I suspect that such an analysis will have to be done on an
individual basis.  The result of my own analysis is that I
tend to be an eclectic theosophist.
