When Daylight Comes;A biography of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky

One hundred years after her death, Helena Blavatsky remains one of the truly extraordinary figures of all time. HPB, as she is often called, stands forth as a seminal talent of her era. A trailblazer and a visionary, she cofounded The Theosophical Society in New York in 1875 and more than any other person was responsible for the introduction of Eastern religions and spiritual thinking into the Western world. All of her books including the highly influential The Secret Doctrine, although they were first published over a century ago, are still in print and in ever-increasing demand. Her experiences during the "heyday of spiritualism" included telepathy and direct physical contact with her spiritual masters/protectors/Mahatmas/Adepts [collectively called the Brotherhood], Morya and Kuthumi (K.H.) who insisted on giving their lessons to her in English. She said messengers would deliver notes and "disappear before her very eyes". "Spiritualism, though inadequate in itself, as it stood, could be used as a gateway to a deeper, satisfactory understanding of life’s mysteries as revealed in the esoteric teachings of the Adepts."
