The opening page of the book and a
portrait of Helena
Blavatsky, painted by Hermann
Schmiechen (1855-1925)
PREFACE
There is so much,
in the following pages, likely to offend conventional theories as to what is
possible, or credible, that I look forward very confidently to the mockery with
which the narrative will be assailed by writers who assume the resources of
Nature confined within the limits of their own experience, and the powers to
which humanity can attain, measured by the standard of a college examination.
All around us, even in London, and at the present day, psychic phenomena that
transcend this view of things are of constant occurrence, and lie within the
personal knowledge of hundreds of
people, - we might say of thousands, taking the whole country into
account Large groups and societies of such people meet together and laugh, or
grieve, as the case may be, over the perversity of the ignorant multitude who
vainly and foolishly imagine themselves the vanguard of civilisation and
culture, while scornfully holding aloof from the knowledge which, though but
just dawning on our generation, is manifestly, for all who can appreciate it,
the most sublime to which human intelligence can be directed.

Life includes
paradoxes, and while the title of this good book by A. P. Sinnett includes the
expression “Madame Blavatsky”, our readers can see HPB’s own opinion and
testimony about being called a Madame - or a Countess. Click and read the text “Why HPB Was Not a Madame”.
