The Fierce Irony of a Warrior Shines in the
Last and Unfinished Text Left by HPB in1891
 
 
Helena P. Blavatsky
 
 
 
 
 
“Public opinion in Russia, as anywhere else, is like
a kaleidoscope in which the combination of figures
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.
