Almost 112 years ago, the Theosophist Julia Keightley had the
following experience:
"A few days after Madame Blavatsky died [on May 8th, 1891], H.P.B.
awoke me at night. I raised myself, feeling no surprise, but only
the sweet accustomed pleasure. She held my eyes with her leonine
gaze. Then she grew thinner, taller, her shape became masculine;
slowly then her features changed, until a man of height and rugged
powers, stood before me, the last vestige of her features melting
into his, until the leonine gaze, the progressed radiance of her
glance alone remained. The man lifted his head and said: 'Bear
witness!' He then walked from the room, laying his hand on the
portrait of H.P.B. as he passed." Quoted from: "Reminiscences of
H.P. Blavatsky and The Secret Doctrine," 1893, p. 127.
With "White Lotus Day" [May 8th, 2003]only a few days away, readers
