A collection of quotes by Helen P. Blavatsky.

Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831-1891) was a Russian occultist, philosopher, and author who co-founded the Theosophical Society in 1875. Born in Yekaterinoslav, Ukraine, she began her spiritual journey at an early age and claimed to have received teachings from various mystical sources. Blavatsky traveled extensively, studying esoteric knowledge and seeking wisdom from different cultures around the world.

In 1877, she published her most influential work, "The Secret Doctrine," which synthesized ancient wisdom, philosophy, and science into a comprehensive cosmology. This book established the foundation for modern Theosophical thought and gained widespread attention within intellectual circles.

Blavatsky's teachings emphasized the unity of all religions and the existence of a universal brotherhood of humanity. She introduced concepts such as karma, reincarnation, and the existence of hidden masters who guide human evolution. Additionally, her writings often explored the occult, mediumship, and psychic phenomena.

Despite facing controversies and accusations of fraud, Blavatsky's influence on spiritual and philosophical movements in the late 19th and early 20th centuries cannot be overlooked. Her work laid the groundwork for the modern New Age movement, and her ideas continue to inspire seekers of truth and spiritual enlightenment to this day.

We stand bewildered before the mystery of our own making, and the riddles of life that we will not solve, and then accuse the great Sphinx of devouring us.

The more thou dost advance, the more thy feet pitfalls will meet. The Path that leadeth on is lighted by one fire --the light of daring burning in the heart. The more one dares, the more he shall obtain.

To act and act wisely when the time for action comes, to wait and wait patiently when it is time for repose, put man in accord with the rising and falling tides (of affairs), so that with nature and law at his back, and truth and beneficence as his beacon light, he may accomplish wonders. Ignorance of this law results in periods of unreasoning enthusiasm on the one hand, and depression on the other. Man thus becomes the victim of the tides when he should be their Master.
