Who Was Helena Patrovena Blavatsky?

Helena Patrovena Blavatsky (1831-1891) born in Russia
and was most noted as the founder of the Theosophical
Society in 1875, and believed the Akashic records were
much more than simply that, they actively have an
influence on our daily lives particularly creativity:

"Akasha is one of the cosmic principles and is a
plastic matter, creative in its physical nature,
immutable in its higher principles. It is the
quintessence of all possible forms of energy,
material, psychic, or spiritual; and contains within
itself the germs of universal creation, which sprout
forth under the impulse of the Divine Spirit".

Alchemy and the Secret Doctrine

She was a huge figure in the theosophy movement of the
19th Century and many of her ideas and beliefs are now
are associated with new age religions.

Theosophy is the study of religious philosophy and
maintains that each world religion has a portion of
the truth.

She travelled widely particularly to India and Tibet
as well as America and Europe and helped to introduce
many Eastern religious ideas and teachings to the
West.

She also published two hugely popular books Isis
Revealed in 1877 and The Secret Doctrine in 1888 as
well as many other smaller works before dying in the
Flu epidemic of 1891.
