^^^It was a certain recent author and leading light (LOL) in the new age movement who popularised ideas Blavatsky espoused. She seems to have provided a fair bit of source material for the New Age movement!

It's a dilution of magick (in which Blavatsky and her theosophists also dabbled. I suppose an author peddling his wares (borrowed or not) reckon they carry more authority if she/he calls them a law.

This is a bit nasty, but I would kind of like to drop Rhonda Byrne (or any number of other smug 'co-creators') in the middle of Aleppo with nothing but a 'vision board' and see how long it takes her to manifest her dreams. It's just insulting to the millions of refugees living in hellish conditions to suggest they attracted their fates and if they could think their way out of it. But hey, at least living for 20 years in a refugee camp gives you a good opportunity to experience 'contrast'.
