Blavatsky is a witch that put things into motion to allow certain people to be in power and control the minds of many people across the world. A truly destructive woman.

Only at the request of her Master, who said "choose Olcott". Olcott had the same Brother for Master as HPB did.
HPB was also told to found a "philosophic-religious society". So it would have happened with or without Olcott's money.

Many others, among them Einstein, have / had a different opinion about Blavatski.
Einstein and The Secret Doctrine
Quote:
... Einstein had a copy of Madame Blavatsky's book The Secret Doctrine on his table all the time. ... the book, which "was heavily notated and underlined, and that the margins were covered with scribbles and other markings ...
|
Have you read anything Blavatski wrote? This was a rhetorical question ... don't answer! I don't care.

The Masters came about later. The person who was conducting the lecture on Elementals presented such interesting information that some in the group decided to create their own organization the Theosophical Society.
Olcott was the Society's president.

The Brothers were always there. The use of terms Masters or Mahatmas for them came about when Olcott & HPB moved to India.
Even before George Felt's lecture in Sept. of 1875 HPB received this order from her Master in July:
Quote:
[In H.P.B.’s Scrapbook, Vol. I, p. 58, may be found at the bottom of the page the following important note written by H.P.B. in pen and ink:] Orders received from India direct to establish a philosophico-religious Society and choose a name for it—also to choose Olcott. July 1875.
|
Then, around the end of August, discussion about starting this Society occurred:
Quote:
Between Aug. 28 and Sept. 4—Gathering held in H.P.B.'s rooms, 46 Irving Place, New York. In H.P.B.'s own words: “On that evening the first idea of the Theos. Society was discussed.” (Vide Rev. Dr. J. H. Wiggin's account, The Liberal Christian, Sept. 4, 1875; H.P.B.'s comments in Scrapbook, Vol. I, pp. 54-55; ODL, I, 114-15).

HP Blavatsky the Mystery
This book by G. de Purucker is out of print, but some used copies may be out there. Here are the first six chapters, lightly edited from The Theosophical Path issues in 1929-30:

Gosh, the memories...I spoke at a Theosp. Society once in 1973 in FL, USA...I was sure a confident person, then...
They liked me and commented on my aura. Sweet of them.
Ah, memories. LOL I liked them.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

Our True Nature
G. de Purucker from Blavatsky the Mystery, ch. 6:
Quote:
Oh! if men and women of the Occident could only get the conviction of the existence within themselves of the individual's living god as the fountain of his noblest parts, what a revolution in human thinking it would bring about! If they could only get the conviction, as they will in time most assuredly, that at the core of each one of them, at the heart of the heart of each one of them, is this glorious Sun of consciousness: then indeed not only would their lives change immensely for the better, not only would human relations be softened and refined, not only would the horrors attending our present civilization disappear as do the mists before the morning sunlight, but to the individual himself there would come inspiration, a sense of high human dignity, a sense of well-being, and of undeveloped power -- which both intuition and instinct would then tell them could only be developed through altruistic use. And could this idea become the conviction of their minds and the persuasion of their hearts, then indeed should we be members of a new race, enlightened with an all-embracing and high racial consciousness, and the Theosophical ideal of Universal Brotherhood would follow fully and in completeness as a necessary sequence. Our fellow human beings would act, think and dwell among each other almost as a race of incarnate gods -- for that in the name of holy Truth is just what we human beings are.
