Theos-Talk Archives (April 2001 Message tt00144)

Can anyone help?  This is a phrase that I have often heard as one of the aims of the Theosophical Movement--most often repeated by those in the Point Loma tradition.   The idea is that "stemming the tide of materialism" is one of the purposes for founding the Theosophical Society in 1875.  Does anyone know of any statements made by Blavatskyor Olcott before 1891 to this effect?  I'm aware of many statements by Blavatsky about the evils of materialism, but no statements about fighting it as being an aim of the movement.   Perhaps Judge made such a statement?

 

Thanks
