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
Blavatsky or 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
