The philosophy of Elena Blavatskaya.

I am a fan of the philosophical ideas of Elena Blavatskaya. I consider her one of the great philosophers of our time. What is your opinion about the philosophy of Elena Blavatskaya?

Another Theosophy regurgitation - heavy on the karma and reincarnation - Interesting though.  Not much of her work has been translated from Russian so there is limited material for we English speakers!

Another?  She started it.  

Have any of you been to a Theosophical library?  There are volumes of Madam Blavatsky's (Anglicised name) writings.  If it's true that not much of her work has been translated, I'd be surprised...

I'm personally not interested, but I would never naysay a spiritualist - they walk a path closer to truth than many I've met.

The Stoics of Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus and tempering it with Nietzsche are enough for me to digest at the moment.  My Brain is just too full already, I've been having to dump significant portions of my childhood already in an attempt to make room.  Eye-wink

Everything you needed to learn about life, you learned before Kindergarten, Pagan - you're just fine, dude.
