Description:

Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831-1891), Russian-born Occultistand co-founder of The Theosophical Society, demonstratedpsychic powers of a startling nature and claimed personal contactwith highly developed Masters living in Tibet and India. Awell-versed student of metaphysical and esoteric lore,she promoted a greater Western knowledge of Eastern religions,philosophies and mythologies. Madame Blavatsky's major works(Isis Unveiled, The Secret Doctrine, The Key toTheosophy, and The Voice of the Silence) areconsidered classics in occult and Theosophical literature. More information here on HPB & Theosophy.. We came into contact with certain men, endowed with such mysterious powers and such profound knowledge that we may truly designate them as the sages of the Orient. To their instructions we lent a ready ear. The work now submitted to public judgment is the fruit of a somewhat intimate acquaintance with [these] Eastern adepts and study of their [esoteric occult] science. H.P. Blavatsky, Isis Unveiled, 1877. Helena Petrovna Blavatsky is surely among the most original and perceptive minds of her time. She is among the modern world s trailblazing psychologists of the visionary mind. Theodore Roszak, Unfinished Animal: Aquarian Frontier the Evolution of Consciousness. Blavatsky's esoteric synthesis has served as a basic source for later esotericists, literati, scientists, and entire movements, including the New Age. Unlike most of her contemporaries, she is as visible today as an modern trendsetting guru, and she will most likely remain the most memorable and innovative esotericist of the 19th century. James A. Santucci, Dictionary of Gnosis Western Esotericism. Madame Blavatsky...stands out as the fountainhead of modern occult thought, and was either the originator and/or popularizer of many of the ideas and terms which have a century later been assembled within the New Age Movement. The Theosophical Society, which she cofounded, has been the major advocate of occult philosophy in the West and the single most important avenue of Eastern teaching to the West. J. Gordon Melton, Jerome Clark Aidan A. Kelly, eds., New Age Almanac. Theosophy occupies a central place in the history of new spiritual movements, for the writings of Blavatsky and some of her followers have had a great influence outside of her organization....The importance of Theosophy in modern history should not be underestimated. Not only have the writings of Blavatsky and others inspired several generations of occultists, but the movement had a remarkable role in the restoration to the colonial peoples of nineteenth century Asia their own spiritual heritage.

To their instructions we lent a ready ear....The work now submitted to public judgment is the fruit of a somewhat intimate acquaintance with [these] Eastern adepts and study of their science..."

Santucci.. Dr. Santucci gives a talk about his research and findings on H.P. Blavatsky's December 25, 1886 letter to J. Ralston Skinner. This letter with a detailed introduction will be published in the Jan-April 2021 double issue of THEOSOPHICAL HISTORY. "Following the publication (in THEOSOPHICAL HISTORY Vol. XVIII/1-2) of H. P. Blavatsky's thirty-six page letter to James Ralston Skinner, dated February 17, 1887, it came to my attention that another letter, known only to a small number of researchers and apparently at one time located in the Andover-Harvard Divinity Library's collection of the J. Ralston Skinner Papers (bMS 516), predated the February letter by two months....In reviewing the provenance of the letter, it gradually became clear...that an earlier letter composed by Blavatsky and addressed to Skinner, dated December 25, 1886 and originating from Ostend, may have been part of the collection. If it were included in the Skinner Papers, it inexplicably disappeared from the Library without any evidence that it ever existed...." Dr. James A. Santucci, editor of THEOSOPHICAL HISTORY._______________________________________________________"Anita Atkins has made a great contribution to a better public understanding of HPB by writing the biography HPB: THE EXTRAORDINARY LIFE AND INFLUENCE OF HELENA BLAVATSKY. This biography was first published in 1993 under Anita's pen name Sylvia Cranston. I first corresponded with Anita around 1975. By the early 1980s I no longer wrote letters to her buthad started calling her on a fairly regular basis at her New York residence. I foundthis was the easier way to communicate with her. In fact, on the phone we could go over in much greater detail all sorts ofmatters regarding our mutual HPB research. I would send her material; she would send me material. It wasin early 1983 or in late 1982 that Anita told me over the phone about the discovery of the HPB letters to Skinner at Harvard. She said she would send me her typescripts of these letters. Anita had personally gone to Harvard to see the originals of these letters. I clearly remember the day I received that large manilla envelope from Anita with the typescripts. I ripped the envelope open and read all these letters. Of course, the first letter I read was HPB's Christmas letter of 1886. As an aside, I should mention here that it was Anita's brother A. Edgar Atkins who donated the money to have HPB's letters to Skinner restored at Harvard." Daniel H. Caldwell, founder and organizer of THE BLAVATSKY STUDY CENTER/BLAVATSKY ARCHIVES. For more, see Sylvia Cranston: An Eyewitness._______________________________________________________"J. Ralston Skinner, author of THE SOURCE OF MEASURES, corresponded with HPB during the writing of THE SECRET DOCTRINE. One of the topics addressed in their correspondence was the 'numerical cipher of the ancients,' which Skinner had, in part, discovered. Writing to Skinner, HPB complimented his discoveries and told him that he would have never been successful in the work he had accomplished without the unseen guidance and help of the Masters. She did, however, take issue with Skinner's ideas about the preeminence of the Hebrew language and insisted that the inhabitants of India had a fully developed numerical system for sacerdotal purposes thousands of years before the development of Hebrew....[HPB's] letter to J.R. Skinner, [is] dated December 25, 1886. Original in the Andover Theological Library, Harvard University...."
