"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. "....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." "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 any modern
trendsetting guru, and she will most likely remain the most memorable
and innovative esotericist of the 19th century." James A. Santucci in Dictionary of "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." |
