A forceful and gifted individual, H.P. Blavatsky wrote in a forthright
and powerful style challenging the confusion and absurdities of
religious orthodoxy, exposing some of the fallacies of materialistic
science, and assailing some of the claims of 19th century
Spiritualism. She presented ideas and teachings which seemed like
pretentious nonsense to her orthodox contemporaries. Furthermore,
H.P.B. demonstrated psychic powers of a startling character, and said
she was in contact with certain highly evolved Masters.
It was inevitable that H.P.B. should make enemies on every hand who
published slanderous untruths as to her dishonesty, the fraudulence of
her psychic phenomena, the non-existence of her Masters, and the
worthlessness of Theosophy. But how much of truth is there in these
accusations? Careful, detailed research into the primary source
documents clearly shows that the attacks on H.P.B. lack a solid basis.
