Understandable reaction.  Those much abused words also make me shrink a
little. But I think the Maha Chohan meant making truths available to receptive
people, not mean forcing it on people who don't want it. I, for one, am glad
for the Asoka's, the St. Paul's, and the Vivekananda's who made the doctrines
of their obscure and little known teachers available to me.  Likewise, I'm
glad HPB didn't hide her light under a bushell.
