Internal Tensions

Where each persona's working synthesis strains against itself.

Helena Petrovna Blavatsky

The 1885 Society for Psychical Research report (Richard Hodgson) concluded that Blavatsky's purported supernatural phenomena were fraudulent and that the Mahatma Letters she claimed were materialized from Tibetan masters were written by her. Theosophy remained intellectually serious within its own frame and seeded much twentieth-century alternative spirituality; the racial-evolutionary doctrine of root-races was later misappropriated by occult-Nazi fringe movements (Ariosophy), a development Blavatsky would have opposed but cannot be entirely separated from her doctrines.
