Last and Unfinished Text Left by HPB in1891
Helena P. Blavatsky

change continually according to the movement of the
hand holding it; or, in other words, the notion of what
is possible or impossible, prudent or foolish, suitable or
unsuitable, depends on some leaders of science and fashion
who cause that public opinion to rotate like a weather-cock.”
(H.P.B.)
Editorial
Commentary:
The following
article was written in Russian by Helena Blavatsky to be used as the beginning
of a “story”, which would be called “The
Theosophical Society: a Truthful Tale of the Nineteenth Century”.
Its subtitle would be “Source-material for the Future History of Psychism in the Darwinian
Epoch. Dedicated to the Skeptics of the Motherland”.
In spite of the humour and irony one finds in it, it
is easy to see the pain with which HPB wrote the text, a short while before she
died in London on 8 May 1891. The text shows Blavatsky had no illusions
regarding what to expect from most theosophists, in terms of good sense and
discernment.
