THEOsOPHY.


Fat Madam Blavatsky Only tho Messen-
ger Of Superior 'sRefngs."
SEATTLE, May 8, 1893
To THE EDITOR: Kindly grant me the privi-
lege OF saying that the proof OF the truths now
given to the world through the Theosophical
Society. and which are known a. Thcosopicai. DO
not depend upon phenomeus nor upon the per-
sons!i,y of any man o. woman. Nor 10 it in any
way the cunningiy devised scheme OF the late
Nine Blavatsky, nor any other person OF the
material world Its teachings and inspiration
come from an order OF beings, highly evolved
men. known a. the Masters, and Nine. B.avat-
sky was merely their messenger In fact, she
has never claimed anything else in any OF her
published writings and teachings. Claims no
credit for herself and asks no ono to believe In
her words. Although writing from morning
until night and giving all she had to the Theo-
sophica! society. she never claimed anything
for herself, not the slightest originality. 1t Is a
fact that she died In poverty when she could
have made plenty OF money ard msiutained
much higher position in the world II she had
taxcn the stand that she had by her own brain
evolved the philosophy she propounded aud
taught
IL Is maintained that the Masters are ideals
and facts o! nature and that they are the link
between the human ana the divine. The exist
ence OF Adopts aud Masters has been known and
written about in all ages and all records of
human history contain references to them. SO
in this particular Nine. Blavatsky gave nothing
new to the Western world These Masters have
powers UNKNOWN to the ordinary man and they
have not separated their connection with the
Theosophical Society since the death OF Nine.
B.ava;sKy. Blu, this does not prove their exist
cnce, am not trying TO do that: merely affirm
that they do exist and thereby take the chances
OF the world saying that have "ksnk ia
iay thinker
No one is asked to believe anything wha;so-
ever. Phenomena have nothing TO do with the
society nor its propaganda. Now, touching the
position CT ii. L. B,avatsky to the Theosopnscai
society. the following is brief exposition a. il
epearS to many OF Us: FiYst-Mme. Blavstsky
10 a messenger from the Masters, or she Is
fraud. Sscond-lf there are no Masters tho
Iheoaophica Society is an absurdi'y and there
is no use in keeping it up But II there are
NJ asters and II. r. Blavatsky was their messen-
ger and the Theosophieal Society their fouada-
ZION thu Iheosophlcal Society and II. +. Bla-
yatsky cannot DC separated before the world.
Nine. B.avatsky has lett in the world ak
volumes which expoEud the teachings OF the
Masters, II any man viii discover beneath the
