Elena Blavatska {Helena Blavatsky} / 1831-1891 /, after her father Khan, also known as Upasika, Rada-bai, as well as with her Latin initials HPB, is a Russian and American author of mystical literature and travelogues, philosopher with contribution to esoteric philosophy, co-founder of the Theosophical Society.
Blavatsky is one of the harbingers of the early spiritualism (spiritism) in the United States.
“Spiritism” was then seen as a cross between pseudoscience and pseudo-religion, comforting those in whose eyes Christianity fought an unequal battle with evil and whom science had disappointed with its materialism.
Blavatsky's ideas spread by the Society (hers or borrowed from other authors and those strongly influenced by Buddhism and Hinduism) had a significant influence on politics, art, and religion.
Blavatsky puts forward theories that science did not reach until the twentieth century. She predicted the discovery of ultrasound, who knew about the equivalence of mass and energy, and claimed that the cosmos went through successive cycles of expansion and contraction.
Stephen Hawking and many other modern scientists think so too. According to contemporaries, her most famous work, The Secret Doctrine, was a table book by Einstein, and theosophy was studied by such famous scholars as the inventor Tomas Edison, astronomer Camille Flamarion, chemist William Crookes and many others.
Today, when many in search of answers turn to spirituality for different reasons, is a good time to remember the deep philosophy and wisdom of Elena Blavatska
Here - a few selected thoughts that probably some will find helpful for their spiritual search …
There are no jumps and coincidences in life - everything has its reason.
Every thought, every feeling and action of ours comes from the past and affects the future.
As long as this past and future is hidden from us, as we view life as a mystery, unaware that we have created ourselves, until then the phenomena in our lives will appear to us as accidentally emerging from the abyss of the unknown and meeting us in the world.
The fabric of human destiny is woven by man himself with innumerable threads woven in a complexity incomprehensible to us: one thread disappears from our consciousness, but it has not disappeared, but has disappeared, another appears suddenly, but it is all this, the same thread that came out of the invisible side of the fabric and reappears on its visible surface.
Looking only at a part of the fabric, and from its side, our consciousness is not able to comprehend the whole complexity of its weaving.
The biggest obstacle is the stone to step on to reach the most wonderful opportunity.
My books were written not against religion, not against Christ, but against the cowardly hypocrisy of those who killed, burned people at the stake in the name of the Almighty Son of God, beginning to do so practically as soon as He died on the Cross for all mankind. and especially for the fallen women and all those who have strayed from the right path - and all the atrocities have been committed in His Name!
We only offend God with our belief that we can kill, insult others, do many other horrible things, and place the responsibility for all of this on the already overworked shoulders of Jesus Christ. He showed us the way, but not in the synagogues or temples, as the Pharisees did, but in his own Temple, that is, in the depths of our own heart, the heart of each of us.
I am not speaking against Christ or Buddha, but against the dogmas invented by people. Buddhism teaches that the Kingdom of God and Nirvana can be earned by deeds, not empty words.
He teaches that there is no mediator between the judgment of the Future and the Unknown God but our own actions.
Christ for us, Buddha - for Buddhists, but both taught the blind to see the truth, but the apostles of Christ and Buddha distorted much of what their teachers said, and some did so because of their spiritual and physical weakness, and others, such as the papacy, because of their evil will and selfish ambitions.
You have to learn to know; to know in order to understand; to be understood in order to be judged!
