The daughter of a scam and the mother of sin is Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. Blavatsky E.P.

In 1988, one hundred years after The Secret Doctrine was published, a number of symposia devoted to the book were held in the United States, Europe, and India. The leading American theosophist Jerry Hayck-Eakins, speaking in Culver City, California, said: "The book reviewer who received The Secret Doctrine in 1888 hardly imagined that her life would be so long." This voluminous work of one and a half thousand pages, replete with Eastern philosophical and religious terms, was too at odds with nineteenth-century Western science and its now rejected theories. However, the Secret Doctrine is still reprinted and studied a hundred years later...

Why, then, does The Secret Doctrine continue to influence modern thought, while many other works have long been forgotten? Is it because this book actually belongs to the 20th century, ahead of its time by a hundred years?.. If the author of The Secret Doctrine could not anticipate many scientific discoveries, the book would quickly become outdated, not keeping up with the rapidly developing science. Blavatsky herself predicted that "only in the 20th century will this work - even if not all, but parts of it - receive confirmation."

Yes, many of Blavatsky's predictions came true in the 20th century. Today, its correctness has been proven, and there is much more evidence of this than is commonly believed. A whole list of areas was formed in which her prophecies were confirmed. Sometimes this evidence is clear and definite, at other times it requires clarification. Therefore, it is necessary to preface the list of her statements with some explanations.

Blavatsky did not use the technical terms that later appeared among scientists. Her language is vague on some occasions. She did not set herself the goal of fully clarifying all the basics and details of the Secret Science, which she taught. On the contrary, looking back, we see that she deliberately withheld some of the information, so that for readers - her contemporaries - she was almost completely incomprehensible, being a stimulus for the most part only for a sense of intuition; although after directly made scientific discoveries it becomes quite clear what Blavatsky had in mind.

In some cases, the method of concealment was the scattering of semantic material throughout the text. Here it is necessary to connect passages that are separated from each other in the text.

The ideas that she boldly defended could be considered heresy in her time. But today the same ideas are almost banal for us and are taken for granted.

According to Blavatsky, modern science has come to believe that it is the crown of the knowledge of mankind, and in this delusion it finds it possible to arrogantly judge those few fragments of ancient science that fall into its field of vision. Helena Petrovna Blavatsky wrote:

"Modern science is only a distorted Ancient Thought and nothing more." Until this idea is accepted by scientists, science is doomed to wander in the darkness of its hypotheses, often losing its bearings. It will remain a tree without roots, a separate phenomenon without a past and a future. “How the process of development of consciousness would be accelerated if humanity finally recognized that on Earth from time immemorial, since the appearance of Homo sapiens, there has been a Stronghold of Cosmic Intelligences, which is the emitter of all ideas and discoveries that have ever been captured by the human apparatus ..."

E.P. Blavatsky in her book “From the caves and wilds of Hindustan” writes that scientists studying the ancient philosophy of India were convinced that ancient scientists were far ahead of modern colleagues. Surprisingly, modern scientists have discovered that, it turns out, the properties of electricity have been known since time immemorial. Many centuries before the birth of Hippocrates, the father of European medicine, his system, which modern medicine is so proud of, turns out to have been expounded by the ancient Indians Charaka and Shushrut. In India, writes H. P. Blavatsky, in the temple of Vishnu there is a stone with calculations of many thousands of years ago by Surya and Sidhenta. These calculations indicate that steam engines were operating in India long before the beginning of Western European civilization. The ancient Indians were the first to calculate the speed of light. They also formulated the laws of its distribution many thousands of years before the birth of European science. Even the famous Pythagorean theorem on the property of the square of the hypotenuse is found in the ancient book Jyotishi. The father of trigonometry must also be sought in India - a manuscript has been found here that proves this. In the Indian Vedas (which are more than 20,000 years old), modern researchers have discovered many achievements of modern science (even the formula for atomic energy).

Blavatsky associated the end of the 5000-year cycle with the emergence of many scientific discoveries: “We are at the very end of the Cycle of 5000 years of the real Aryan Kali Yuga; and between this time and the year 1897 a wide cut will be made in the veil of Nature, and materialistic science will receive a mortal blow.

The Secret Doctrine contains many such propositions which were denied by science in the time of Blavatsky and whose truth was later confirmed. It is possible that it contains hints of other truths that have yet to be recognized. Here are three examples of discoveries in the field of physics predicted in The Secret Doctrine.

1. Divisibility of the atom. Sir Isaac Newton wrote in Optics that "God first created matter in the form of solid, massive, impenetrable particles, of such sizes and shapes, with such properties and such spatial position, as to most contribute to the achievement of the purpose for which He intended them ". Later, scientists discarded the theological side of Newton's statement, but the idea of ​​"solid and impenetrable particles," or atoms, serving as the building blocks of the universe, remained unshakable. When the electron was discovered in 1897, the building blocks cracked. The atom is divisible.

Meanwhile, E.P. Blavatsky states in The Secret Doctrine: "... The atom is precisely divisible and must consist of particles, or subatoms ... It is on the doctrine of the illusory nature of matter and on the infinite divisibility of the atom that the whole science of Occultism is based."

Speaking of the infinite divisibility of the atom, one scientist wrote: "Science is moving in this direction in separate steps - first it discovered electrons, then protons, then neutrons, quarks and other particles - and each time it believes that now it has found the final particle." At the moment, she finally got to pure waves - in superstring theory - which is quite consistent with the "Secret Doctrine".

When the theory of the existence of quarks was first put forward, Werner Heisenberg, a German theoretical physicist, remarked: “Even if quarks are discovered, then, judging by what we know, each of them can decay again into two quarks and one antiquark, and so on. etc., and thus they will be no more elementary than a proton... We will have to abandon the philosophy of Democritus and the concept of fundamental elementary particles. Instead, we will have to accept the concept of fundamental symmetry, which stems from Plato's philosophy."

2. Atoms are in constant motion. Scientists in Blavatsky's time not only considered atoms to be indivisible, but also believed that they were immobile in all states of matter except gaseous.

The Secret Doctrine says: “Occultism maintains that whenever matter appears to be inert, it is most active. A piece of wood or stone is practically motionless and impenetrable. Nevertheless, and de facto, its particles vibrate incessantly and eternally, so rapidly that to the physical eye this body appears absolutely motionless; and the spatial distance between these particles in their oscillatory motion - considered from the standpoint of another level of being and perception - corresponds to the distance between individual snowflakes or raindrops. But for physical science it would be absurd.”

It is hard to believe that such an idea once seemed absurd.

According to The Secret Doctrine, the incessant movement of the atoms of an object considered solid corresponds to the universal cosmic law, which states "that in Nature there is no rest or cessation of motion", which is quite consistent with the views of Einstein. Garret Service puts it this way: “Scientific research shows that in the infinitely small, as well as in the infinitely large, everything is in motion ... we find nothing that is at rest. Thus, Einstein concludes, motion must be regarded as a natural and actual state of matter; as a state of affairs that does not require our explanation, since it stems from the very structure of the universe. It is the very essence of its existence.”

In the "Secret Doctrine" H.P. Blavatsky says that "the absolute Abstract Movement is the personification of the Absolute itself."

3. Reciprocity of matter and energy. The science of the 19th century completely denied this, until in 1905 the same formula E = mc 2 appeared. Robert Milliken explains this equality as follows:

“...m is the mass of matter in grams, c is the speed of light in centimeters (30,000,000,000 cm/s), and E is energy in ergs, absolute energy units. Translated into the usual engineering language, we can say that if a mass of matter of one gram is transformed into heat every second, then 90 billion kilowatts of energy are constantly released.”

"This concept," adds Milliken, "is extremely important, for it means that matter itself passes into radiant energy." This now proven fact is explained by the fact that matter is condensed energy, and energy is scattered matter.

In the "Secret Doctrine" H.P. Blavatsky quotes the journal The Way published by W. Judge:

“As one American theosophist said: “[Leibniz's] monads can, from one point of view, be called force, from another point of view, matter. For occult science, force and matter are but two sides of the same substance.

This substance, which Blavatsky calls prakriti, emanates from primary matter, or mulaprakriti (the root of matter).

In "Isis Unveiled" H.P. Blavatsky argues that force and matter are reciprocal:

“For every objective manifestation, whether it be the movement of a living limb or the movement of some inorganic body, two conditions are required: will and force - plus matter, or that which makes this moving object visible to our eye; and this whole triad is an interconvertible force...”

The following quotation is extremely interesting, not only because the words "atomic energy" imply that atoms have energy, but also because Blavatsky, apparently, was the first to use this now so familiar expression: "This "wave-like movement of living particles" becomes understandable on the basis of the theory of the spiritual ONE life, the universal Life principle, independent of our matter and manifesting as atomic energy only at our level of consciousness.

Faculty and students in the chemistry department of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are preparing lesson plans for the "Secret Doctrine" in order to study what is directly related to their future specialty. And in 1988, Philippe Perchen, a prominent chemist, wrote that an alchemical society was created at this institute, where the "Secret Doctrine" was systematically studied. He added that he met from time to time at the New York Harvard Club with his former colleagues, chiefly professors of that institute, to discuss the "Secret Doctrine."

Let us now turn to the biological sciences and begin with genetics. The scientific world warmly welcomed the work of James Watson and Francis Crick on deciphering the genetic code: it seemed that the main mysteries of the living cell were about to be solved. For creating a model of the spatial structure of DNA in 1953, these scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology. Today, however, biologists are acutely aware, more than ever, that the mysteries of life are much more complex than they thought.

The very origin of the genetic code remains a complete mystery; scientists still do not know how nature created it. Sir Fred Hoyle points out that the genetic material in the nucleus of each cell contains about 200,000 chains of amino acids, organized in a very intricate structure (Watson and Crick's spatial model of DNA has the form of a double helix). The probability of a random occurrence of such a structure through the process of natural selection and involuntary mutations, according to Hoyle, is equal to the probability of throwing five million sixes in a row in a game of dice.

Another mystery is the order in which the gene mechanism turns on and off. The nucleus of every cell in our body contains a complete set of genes, that is, all the hereditary information sufficient for the reproduction of a new human being is stored. From what proteins are synthesized in the cell, its structural and functional features depend. Biologists suggest that there are operator genes that are turned on by activator genes and turned off by regulatory ones. It is possible that in this gene trigger (a kind of switching device) lies the key to the secret of life that geneticists are so passionately searching for.

To emphasize the complexity of the problems facing cell biology and genetics, Lewis Thomas, a famous physician and biologist, draws attention to the mystery of the origin and development of the human brain: “Here is what is truly amazing: [a child begins] with a single cell; it divides into two, then four, then eight, and so on, and at a certain stage, as the cells differentiate, a group of them is singled out, which will subsequently develop into the human brain.

The very existence of these specific cells is one of the greatest wonders of the earth. For one group of cells is turned on in order to become a single massive apparatus of trillions of cells, designed for logical and imaginative thinking. All the information you need to learn to read, write, play the piano, or just reach out and lean against a tree is already contained in this first cell. All grammar, all arithmetic, all music.

It is not known how this switch-on occurs ... There is not yet the slightest idea how some [fetal cells] suddenly acquire a specific quality of brain matter.

Moreover, the brain itself is so remarkably complex, notes Fortune Science Editor Tom Alexander, that it is “a long-standing mystery how [the components] of such a complex and highly organized structure communicate with each other.” He also notes: "Elementary calculations show that in the DNA molecules that make up the genetic matrix (blueprint) of the body, the entire amount of information necessary to determine the interaction of even two neurons - these simplest brain computers" cannot be encoded in any way. Scientists say that "the brain uses more connections every day than all the phone systems in the world put together" and that "in a fraction of a second it is able to use millions of interconnections."

In The Secret Doctrine, H. P. Blavatsky states:

"The resolution of the dispute between ordinary and esoteric sciences rests on the belief in the existence of an astral body inside the physical (and the first does not depend on the second) - and on the proof of this." She points out that the "inner soul" of the physical cell must be opened - this "spiritual plasma" that controls the "germ plasm", and that it is "the key that will one day open the gates of this terra incognita of biologists, now called the greatest secret embryology.

The subject under consideration is so important in The Secret Doctrine that of the three cornerstones of the second volume, one says that the astral body is born before the physical body and serves as its prototype. In Ocean of Theosophy, Judge writes: “The astral body is composed of matter of a very fine structure compared to the visible body and has a high tensile strength, so it changes very little during life, while the physical body changes every second ... [ Astral] is flexible, plastic, elastic and strong. The substance of which it is composed is essentially electrical and magnetic."

According to theosophical teaching, the astral prototype body is not something separate from the physical body, but pervades and supports it. Without this prototype body, the physical body would simply disintegrate. It is believed that the prototype body grows simultaneously with the physical body and at the moment of conception it is microscopic, but perfect in form.

One of the proofs of the existence of the astral body can be such a well-known phenomenon as the phantom sensations of amputated limbs. After amputation, says Judge, "the astral limb remains unaffected, so the person feels it as a real part of his body, for neither knife nor acid can harm the astral prototype ... "

Oliver Sachs, neurologist and writer, reports one of his patients who said: “This thing, this ghostly leg, it sometimes hurts like hell - even the fingers buckle, as if cramping them. Worse at night, or when there is no prosthesis, and also when doing nothing. This sensation disappears when you put on the prosthesis and walk. I then feel the leg as if alive, but this is a different phantom, it is good, it revives the prosthesis, so that I can walk.”

In 1981, a work by Rupert Sheldrake, a specialist in biochemistry and cell biology, appeared in England under the title The New Science of Life: The Formative Causality Hypothesis. The book sparked fierce controversy. One of the UK's leading scientific journals, Nature, called her "the most suitable candidate for burning in many years," while the equally respected New Scientist argued:

"It is clear that here we are dealing with an important scientific study of the nature of biological and physical reality."

It seems that nature has a tendency to pass on the knowledge once received. This happens even with crystals. As Hannon points out, “First-time synthesized chemical compounds are usually difficult to crystallize. Over time, the ability to organize into a crystalline form increases.”

A hundred years ago, Theosophists pointed to the various possibilities offered by the astral world. This is stated in Judge's article "Echoes from the East": "In the field of theosophical research, perhaps there is nothing more interesting than the astral light. Hindus call it Akasha - this word can also be translated as "ether". It is said that the amazing phenomena of Eastern yoga are explained by the knowledge of its properties. It is also stated that clairvoyance, clairaudience, mediumship and providence, known to the Western world, are possible only through the medium of the astral light. It fixes our deeds and thoughts, it is a huge panorama of everything that happens on Earth, and the seer can always stop looking at any event of the past or future ... [Astral light] permeates every atom of the globe, every molecule. Obeying the laws of attraction and repulsion, it vibrates, becoming either positive or negative. This gives him rotation, which is symbolized by the serpent. This is the great and all-encompassing factor, or prime mover, cosmically speaking, by which not only plants grow, but the systole and diastole of the human heart is maintained.

... [The Astral Light], says Flammarion, captures the pictures of every moment and preserves them. For this reason the Egyptians called him the Scribe; in Christianity, this is an Angel, marking good deeds and sins; in the Hindu pantheon - Yama, the judge of the dead, for Karma judges us on the basis of the pictures that we leave in [Akasha]...

Since the astral light stores pictures of all past things and events, and there is nothing new under the sun, all kinds of technical devices, ideas, philosophies, arts and sciences of long-dead civilizations are constantly projected in the form of pictures from the astral into the brains of living people. This can explain not only the frequently observed “coincidence” of ideas or inventions by several inventors or scientists at once, who are close in time and completely independent, but also other curious cases.

Some imaginary scientists undertake to talk about telepathy and other phenomena, but cannot explain by natural causes either the fact of thought transmission, or the existence of ghosts, or clairvoyance, or the many diverse phenomena of an occult nature that are observed every day in the entire spectrum of life. To admit that thought can be transmitted not through speech, but directly from one brain to another, is already good, but how can such a transmission take place without an appropriate environment? Astral light serves as such a medium. The moment a thought takes shape in the brain, it is reflected in this light and directly received from there by another brain sensitive enough to perceive it undistorted...

What has been said above are but a few examples of the many properties of the astral light. As far as our world is concerned, it can be said that the astral light, penetrating everything that exists, is everywhere; it has an imprinting power, through which pictures of thoughts, actions, events, moods, sound, color and everything else are fixed ...

The astral light is a powerful factor, not recognized by science, which underlies hypnosis. It makes it possible to explain many of the problems formulated by Binet, Charcot and other researchers, but in particular the class of phenomena when a person, as it were, combines two or more different personalities in himself, and in each of them he remembers only those things ... that are included in into the realm of individual experience. These strange phenomena are due to the currents of astral light. In each such stream a certain series of reflections will be found, and they are selected by the inner man, who expresses them through speech or actions in our sphere of being as his own. Using these same streams, albeit unconsciously, clairvoyants and clairaudience, as it were, read the hidden pages of life.

This light can capture both good and bad pictures, and all of them are reflected in the subconscious of each person. If we fill the astral light with pictures of malice... it will become our devil and destroyer; if, following the example of even a few worthy men and women, this eternal canvas will be painted with events of a new, purer nature, he will become our Divine Elevator.

The concept of the astral prototype of the body brings us to an even more fundamental problem. Who or what creates it? The answer to this question can be sought in the Theosophical concept of evolution and its primary driving forces, which is the subject of The Secret Doctrine. Basically, the doctrine is:

“The universe is moved and directed from within outward... An almost endless series of Hierarchies of intelligent Beings, each of which fulfills its mission, directs the entire Cosmos, guides it and animates it... They infinitely differ in the degree of their consciousness and mind...”

The most advanced of them can be called the architects of the universe - these are beings who were once people, and now are like gods in their power and duties assigned to them.

Shortly after the death of E.P. Blavatsky, this theory received unexpected support from the famous English biologist Thomas Huxley, the leading Darwinist of the last century and an ardent skeptic. In An Essay on Some Controversial Problems, he wrote: “Looking at this question from the most rigorous scientific point of view, the assumption that among the myriad worlds scattered in infinite space, there is no intelligence that would be as many times superior to human how much the human mind surpasses cockroaches, that there is not a single creature endowed with the power of influencing the natural course of development, as many times greater than that of a person, how many times he himself surpasses a snail in this respect - and so, such an assumption seems to me not only untenable, but simply ridiculous. Without going beyond the analogy drawn from what we know, it is easy to populate the cosmos with beings more and more superior to ourselves, until their abilities are practically indistinguishable from omnipotence, omnipresence and omniscience.

Huxley also changed his ideas about the mind:

“As I understand it, the main dogma of materialism is that there is nothing in the Universe but matter and force ... Kraft und Stoff - force and matter - act as the Alpha and Omega of existence ... Anyone who does not adhere to such a view, zealous supporters of this doctrine doomed to [Dante's] hell reserved for fools or hypocrites. However, I do not believe in all this at all ... There is something third in the Universe, namely the mind, which I cannot attribute to matter, or to force, or to any conceivable modification of these two.

Alfred Russel Wallace, who developed the theory of natural selection independently of Darwin, openly acknowledged its limitations. He considered guidance from "higher intelligences" to be "an integral part of the great laws that govern the material universe." He also says that artistic, musical or any other aesthetic talent cannot be explained by natural selection, since none of them offers any advantages in the struggle for survival.

In The Secret Doctrine we read the following:

“'Natural selection' is not something objectively existing, it is only a convenient expression for describing how, in the struggle for existence, the fit survive and the unfit are annihilated...[Natural] 'selection as Force' is in fact a pure myth; especially when it is resorted to to explain the origin of species ... By itself, "he" can not produce anything and only operates with the raw material provided to "him". The question is this: what CAUSE - in combination with other secondary causes - produces "changes" in the living beings themselves? Many of these secondary causes are purely physical, depending on climate, food, and so on. and so on. Amazing. But behind the secondary aspects of organic evolution, a deeper principle must be sought. The "spontaneous changes" of the materialists and the "random deviations"... are unable to explain the amazing complexity and amazing properties of the human body in particular... The reason underlying the physiological change of species... is the subconscious intelligence that permeates matter and, ultimately traceable to the REFLECTION of Divine wisdom and the wisdom of the Dhyan Chohans."

And here is what Professor Rozzak writes about Wallace's similar views on natural selection: “For him, the fitness of species was, in essence, conservative and uninitiated. It operates only horizontally ... If evolution really followed the path of survival of the most adapted, then our planet would still be inhabited by [exclusively] prolific bacteria ... But behind this, Wallace also sees a bold movement along the vertical, which pushes evolution to higher levels of complexity and intelligence." And this vertical movement receives an impulse from a spiritual source.

The "Secret Doctrine" indicates that vertical movement occurs mainly at strategic points in the evolutionary path. This is reinforced by the modern theory of intermittent equilibrium, which shows that Darwin's theory of gradual change is not supported by paleontological data. Thus, Newsweek for November 3, 1980 reports: “At present, more and more scientists are inclined to think that species change very little over millions of years, and then suddenly evolve rapidly, as in a quantum leap ...” Outstanding Anthropologist Lauren Eisley, in The Never Ending Journey, cites the observation of a prominent specialist in the field of paleoneurology, Dr. Tilly Edinger: “If a person went through the Pithecanthropus phase, then the evolution of his brain was a unique phenomenon, not only in its results, but also in speed ... It seems that an increase in the cerebral hemispheres of at least fifty percent occurred, from a geological point of view, almost instantly and was not accompanied by any significant increase in body size.

Perhaps there is a parallel here with the period of the "ignition" of the mind described in the "Secret Doctrine" by incarnating human souls from the previous world into hitherto unreasonable human forms. Souls who have reached the human stage in the previous world do not need to incarnate again in the animal world.

Blavatsky's view that natural selection and random mutations could not by themselves lead to the formation of a world as complex as ours is being independently confirmed by a growing number of scientists. The following excerpt from Infinite in All Directions by Freeman Dyson, professor of physics at Princeton Research Institute, was published by the editors of Time magazine in the April 1988 issue: “I don't think our universe formed by chance. I believe that intelligence exists in the universe in some very real sense. The question is, is it primary or is it just an accidental consequence of something else? The prevailing view among biologists seems to be that the mind arose randomly from DNA molecules or something like that. This seems unlikely. More reasonable seems to me the idea that the mind is one of the primary components of nature, and we are its manifestation at the present stage of history. The point here is not so much that the mind is self-sufficient, but that it is an integral component of the construction of the universe, and life is the way in which nature endows the mind with capabilities that it would not otherwise have.

Dyson cites George Wald's 1985 lecture "Life and Intelligence in the Universe". Former professor of biology at Harvard University, Wald was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology in 1967:

“I, like almost all biologists and most other people, believed that consciousness or reason is the latest product of animal evolution. But it occurred to me that, on the contrary, it was precisely the constant, all-pervading presence of mind that led matter in this direction. And then I found myself in a beautiful society: ideas of this kind have existed for thousands of years in the ancient oriental philosophies. And some eminent researchers working in the field of physics [in the first half of the 20th century] came to the same thoughts. I found that Eddington also talks about the priority of mind over matter. Von Weizsäcker, the philosophizing physicist, speaks of what he calls the identity principle, in the sense that matter and consciousness are twin aspects of reality.

Such reflections inevitably lead to the idea that life exists not only on Earth, but also somewhere else in the Universe. In this regard, the question arises: will the results of earthly evolutionary development disappear after the death of our planet and the entire solar system?

Sir Stephen Hawking, in the same position at Cambridge that Sir Isaac Newton once held, is considered the leading physicist of our time. In his highly popular book, A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes, he says that he initially accepted the "open universe" model, which dooms the cosmos to eventual destruction. But now both he and his colleagues have come to the conclusion that the Universe is constantly pulsating: it expands, then it contracts - and this has neither beginning nor end. Accordingly, the Big Bang is neither the first nor the only event of its kind. He remarks: “It is curious to note that feature of the general mentality that preceded the twentieth century, when no one asked whether the universe was expanding or contracting. For then it was believed that either the Universe always existed in an unchanged state, or it was created at a certain moment in the past, approximately the same as we observe it today.

Apparently Hawking never read the following lines in Isis Unveiled, which H.P. Blavatsky considered them so important that she repeated them in The Secret Doctrine with a few minor corrections: “Esoteric science, like Buddhism and Brahminism and even the Kabbalah, teaches that the one infinite and unknowable Essence exists from eternity, being either passive or active in a regular and harmonious sequence. In the poetic phraseology of Manu these states are called "days" and "nights" of Brahma; he is either "awake" or "asleep"...

When the period of activity comes - according to the Secret Doctrine, by virtue of submission to the eternal and immutable law, this Divine essence spreads from the outside inward and from the inside out; and the phenomenal or visible world is the end result of the work of a long chain of cosmic forces successively set in motion. Likewise, when a return to the passive state occurs, the Divine essence shrinks, and the result of this creation gradually and progressively dissolves. The visible world is disintegrating, its material is scattered; and "darkness", the one and only, again envelops the face of the "abyss". If we use a metaphor from the hidden books, which conveys this idea even more clearly, the exhalation of the “unknowable essence” gives birth to the world; inhalation - leads to its disappearance. This process is eternal, and our current Universe is just one of an endless series that has neither beginning nor end.

The core of the Big Bang theory is the notion that the universe began with the explosion of a "small spark" of matter, from which all stars and galaxies were eventually enamelled. In The Secret Doctrine, where the various stages of the development of the cosmos are symbolically represented, we find a similar statement, except that here the Universe proceeds from spirit, and not from matter: “An archaic manuscript is a collection of palm leaves that are protected from influence by a special unknown way water, fire and air - is before the eyes of the writer of these lines. The first page shows a spotless white circle on a dull dark background. On the next page, the same circle, but with a dot in the center. The student knows that the former represents the Cosmos in Eternity, before a new awakening of still dormant Energy, the emanation of the Word in later systems. A dot in a previously immaculate circle... indicates the beginning of differentiation. This is the Point in the World Egg ... the embryo inside it, which will become the Universe, EVERYTHING, the boundless, periodic Cosmos; moreover, this embryo is periodically and alternately either latent or active.

E.P. Blavatsky approvingly quotes a French theorist who argues that the entire cosmos can be concentrated "at one point." Elsewhere she speaks of the Universe emerging from the "Central Sun, from this point, the ever-concealed germ."

In the light of recent discoveries, the Big Bang theory is undergoing a major revision. Until now, it was believed that the products of the explosion were thrown randomly in all directions. However, more recently, astronomers have discovered something similar to a lattice of eight galaxies located at equal distances from each other. One of the scientists who made the discovery was very discouraged and said that we are complete ignoramuses about how the universe began, and should start developing our theories from scratch.

Another discovery was announced at the annual meeting of the American Astronomical Society on January 10, 1990. The January 12 New York Times article on the event was titled "Discovery: A continent of galaxies pulling other galaxies to itself": "Astronomers today confirmed that one of the greatest clusters of galaxies known to them really exists ... This huge the structure, called the "great attractor", is 150 million light-years from Earth, and its gravitational pull is continuously affecting the Milky Way and millions of other galaxies...

This discovery confirms the theories discussed by astronomers over the past few years. Their essence is that the main objects of the Universe are many times larger and more complex than astronomers imagined. Such objects are not just galaxies or galactic systems, they are huge "continents of galaxies" hundreds of times larger than them.

Galaxies in the "attractor" zone do not scatter to the sides, as in the rest of the Universe, but all "fall" into a certain area hundreds of millions of light years wide. The speed of this movement is also striking - 400 miles per second. This indicates that something is attracting these galaxies ... Astronomers note that some of the observed galaxies are located on the other side of the Milky Way from this attractor - and, which is significant, are also attracted to it ...

In accordance with the modern description of the history of the Universe, it would take more time for the formation of such a structure than the Universe itself exists ... The Great Attractor is only one of a number of those giant structures, the existence of which was theoretically allowed in the past few years, along with the "great wall" , which is believed to be a huge "veil" of galaxies, stretching for a billion light years.

Perhaps this discovery is of great importance. Until now, scientists could only assume that the current “expansion” of worlds and distant galaxies in the Universe created by the Big Bang could one day reverse, but the continent of “great attractor” galaxies gives weight to this theory. Thus, the theory that the universe is periodically reborn again may receive additional support.

In light of these grandiose problems, the landing of a man on the moon may not seem so significant, but it was one of the largest events in our history.

Now we guess that the Earth lives the kind of coordinated interconnected life that we find in living organisms. We know that planetary life, the "biosphere", is self-regulating, and we owe this discovery to a huge extent to James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis and co-workers, who began their research in the 1970s.

The Earth, seen from the Moon as "iridescent sapphire", inspired James Lovelock, a chemist and biophysicist, to scientific research, the results of which he outlined in the book "Gaia - a new look at the life of the Earth." However, a century ago this “new idea” was formulated by E.P. Blavatsky and Theosophists.

In The Secret Doctrine, Blavatsky writes: “The idea that everything in the universe is alive is one of those ancient concepts that in this century is returning to the human mind, due to its liberation from anthropomorphic theology. Science, it is true, is content with fixing and postulating signs of universal life, but it has not yet become so bold as to even whisper: “Anima Mundi!” The notion of "crystalline life", now accepted by science, would have been ridiculed half a century ago... , - living, whether it be atoms or planets.

The point of view of the Nobel laureate Brian Josephson, professor of physics at the University of Cambridge, largely coincides with this statement. In one of the interviews, he notes: “Each atom of matter can have elements of consciousness and evolve towards higher levels like terrestrial biological forms ... Physicists who tend to consider matter as lifeless and mechanistic are on the wrong path. It seems that at its most subtle level, matter behaves more like something biological and living. The phenomena we commonly observe, and even those studied in physics, may be based on life and intelligence... All matter seems to have a mysterious wholeness or unity that scientists cannot explain, but which is often referred to in various Eastern religions.

For some, it may come as a surprise that Sir Isaac Newton also considered nature to be a living being.

“The innermost thoughts and ideas of Newton were perverted,” Blavatsky writes, “out of his great mathematical knowledge, only the physical shell was taken into account. If poor Sir Isaac had foreseen how his successors and followers would handle his "gravity," this pious and pious man would no doubt just quietly eat his proverbial apple and not utter a single word about those ideas from the field of mechanics, which overshadowed him because of his fall.

In 1984, the book "Quantum Questions: Mystical Writings of the Great Physicists of the World" was published. It examines the work of Heisenberg, Schrödinger, Einstein, de Broglie, Jeans, Planck, Pauli and Eddington, “convinced that physics and mysticism are in some way twin brothers ... All these wonderful people, without exception, came to mystical or transcendental worldview, in which the world appears as a spiritual phenomenon rather than a material one.

This once again confirms the fundamental principle of The Secret Doctrine about the possibility of synthesis of science, religion and philosophy, as indicated by the subtitle of this book. The following excerpts from Einstein's writings show that for the author of the theory of relativity, science and religion were by no means incompatible:

“The most beautiful and deepest feeling we can experience is the feeling of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. He who is unfamiliar with such feelings, who is no longer able to wonder and freeze in awe, he is as good as dead. To know that things incomprehensible to us really exist, manifesting themselves as the highest wisdom or the most radiant beauty, which it is given to our poor senses to perceive only in the most primitive forms - this knowledge, this feeling lies at the basis of true religiosity.

“... I affirm that the cosmic religious feeling is the strongest and noblest of the springs of scientific research. Only those who know what great efforts and, above all, selflessness are given to the development of new paths in theoretical science, will be able to understand what force must be filled with a feeling that can inspire work, so far from the realities of everyday life.

Only a cosmic religious feeling can give a person such strength. One of our contemporary was not mistaken in saying that in our materialistic age, serious scientists are the only truly religious people.

The Autobiography of Robert E. Millikan quotes Einstein as saying: “I am content to contemplate the mystery of intelligent life reproducing itself throughout eternity; thinking about the wonderful structure of the universe, which we vaguely grasp; and a humble attempt to understand even the smallest particle of the mind manifested in nature.

The idea that nature manifests intelligence looks very far from the prevailing idea among scientists today that randomness and arbitrariness reign both in the subatomic world and in the vast expanses of space, where universes are born and die right before our eyes.

The English scientist Roger Penrose is one of those physicists for whom Einstein's phrase "my little finger tells me that quantum mechanics is not flawless" does not at all indicate the stubbornness of the great physicist. Penrose is convinced that "in any interpretation of quantum mechanics in its current form, there are still unsolvable riddles." He believes that in the future "quantum theory will undergo radical changes" and the deepest laws will be discovered that will explain even the great mystery of human consciousness, as well as the behavior of atomic particles, which now seems chaotic.

In this regard, it is appropriate to recall Blavatsky's article "Cosmic Consciousness": "... every atom, like Leibniz's monad, is in itself a small universe" - that is, it has consciousness to a certain extent. Elsewhere, Blavatsky quotes similar remarks from Thomas Edison: “It seems to me that every atom has a kind of primitive intelligence: see how hydrogen atoms combine with atoms of other elements in a thousand ways ... And you want to say that all this happens without the participation of intelligence? » E.P. Blavatsky adds: “Mr. Edison is a theosophist, though not one of the most active. But it seems that the very possession of a diploma from the Society introduces him to theosophical truths.

Blavatsky acknowledges that her views regarding the presence of intelligent life throughout the cosmos can be seen as a resurgence of "the superstitions of the lunatic alchemists". This brings to mind the story told by physicist Heinz Pagels in The Cosmic Code: Quantum Mechanics as the Language of Nature.

One day, Wolfgang Pauli gave a lecture in Pupin's laboratory at Columbia University on Heisenberg's new non-linear theory of elementary particles. Among the listeners was Niels Bohr, who remarked after the lecture that this theory was not crazy enough to be true. So Bohr and Pauli argued. Bohr said, "She's not crazy enough," Pauli said, "No, enough." An outside observer would hardly understand what the two great physicists are trying to share. The point is that both Bohr and Pauli were well aware that it was precisely the insanity of quantum theory that was the key to its correctness.

This chapter spoke of the prophecy in The Secret Doctrine that in just nine years - from 1888 to 1897 - the veil of nature would be broken. One of the scientists, who compared this prophecy with the extent to which it was fulfilled, came to the following conclusion: “The veil of nature was really broken, and in the most unexpected, amazing and strange way, allowing one to penetrate unimaginably deep into both the smallest and greatest kingdoms of nature, with such tremendous consequences for science in all fields and for the daily life of man, that parallels cannot be found in all history known to us.

With indomitable temperament and polemical fervor, Blavatsky attacked Darwin's theory in The Secret Doctrine and questioned Newton's law of gravitation. “Someday it will be found that this scientific hypothesis is unsatisfactory ... We call the forces acting under this name consequences, and even very secondary ones ... Gravity does not exist, at least not in the form science teaches. .."

The largest whales of physics and biology came under its fire... Blavatsky rehabilitated Ancient Wisdom, the greatest exponents of which were Hermes Trismegistus, Pythagoras and Plato. But her criticism of the authorities of science in the 19th century is not a refutation of the theory of natural selection and the law of gravity, but a far-sighted foreknowledge of their insufficiency.

As shown later, the Newtonian idea of ​​the universe is valid in the framework of a particular case of Einstein's concept. The law of universal gravitation is interpreted by the theory of relativity through the curvature of space.

In recent years, it became clear that the probability theory forbids explaining the origin of life and mind by a random combination of elements: neither the period of the Earth's existence, nor the degree of enumeration of options is enough.

Darwin's evolutionary theory is one-sidedly straightforward: along with evolution, as Blavatsky anticipated in The Secret Doctrine, involution acts...

It seems that there are no such spheres where the all-seeing eye of the great soothsayer would not penetrate.

Increasing the speed of movement (up to subluminal) galaxies on the horizon of the expanding Universe?

Blavatsky knew this in principle: "Everything in the Universe, like the Universe itself, is formed during its periodic manifestations within the phenomenal world - by accelerated motion."

The latest hypothesis of the identity of micro- and macroworlds, the relative concept of scales, which equates an elementary particle with the astronomical world?

The ingenious seer of the 80s of the XIX century wrote this:

"... Every atom of the Universe... is the Universe in itself and for itself." "The term monad can be applied equally to the vastest solar system, as to the smallest atom."

The key to the mystery of aliens - humanoids, their mysterious appearances and instantaneous disappearances - is offered by Blavatsky in the following amazing multidimensional picture of the interpenetration of worlds: “There are millions and millions of worlds ... invisible to us; and an even greater number beyond those visible to the telescope, and many of the latter species do not belong to our objective sphere of existence ... they are with us, close to us, inside our own world, as material for their inhabitants as our world is for us. .. Their inhabitants ... can ... pass through us and around us, as you do through empty space, their dwellings and countries are intertwined with ours, however, they do not interfere with our vision ... "

Long before the work of astrophysicist A.L. Zelmanov about the relativity of the finite and the infinite, their joint truth in the extent and duration of the Universe, Blavatsky with amazing scientific intuition foretold: "Despite the fact that the material world is limitless for us, it is still finite."

Blavatsky violated the traditional idea of ​​emptiness by categorically stating that there is no emptiness in nature.

It was only in the middle of the 20th century that Blavatsky's paradoxical assertion received scientific recognition: vacuum is the virtual center of colossal energies.

Here is another example of a recently confirmed revelation: “The sun, with each of its revolutions, contracts as rhythmically as the human heart. Only ... solar blood takes 11 years to pass through the cavity of the heart before it washes the lungs, in order to return then to the large arteries and veins of the system.

The physics of the Sun has made great strides in recent decades and has come much closer to understanding our luminary as a rhythmically pulsating living organ. We learned: The sun breathes! But the great seer knew this too!..

Ultrasound entered science in the 20th century, and Blavatsky in 1888 foreshadowed with inspiration: “We ... affirm that sound is ... a terrible force. Sound can be produced in such a way that the pyramid of Cheops would rise into the air ... This is a vibrational force ... "

Thus, we can note that, according to the generalizing developments in theoretical physics of recent years, science, whether it wants it or not, willingly or not, crawling or jumping, is moving in the direction of theosophy, just as it is moving towards the synthesis of separate disparate disciplines, ultimately - to a synthesis with ethics and with religion.

Even in the "Secret Doctrine" there is an idea of ​​the expansion of the Universe, completely absurd from the point of view of science of the XIX century and completely contradicting all its ideas. Nevertheless, it was fully confirmed in the 20th century after the discovery by E. Hubble of the redshift in the spectra of galaxies and the creation of relativistic cosmological models of the expanding Universe.

Helena Petrovna Blavatsky wrote in The Secret Doctrine:

"The moon is much older than the earth, and, as explained in the first volume, it is the earth that owes its existence to the moon, despite all the contrary explanations of this fact by astronomers and geologists." This statement was also scientifically proven only in the 20th century with the discovery of the method of radiocarbon dating of minerals and after the delivery of samples of lunar soil to Earth by American astronauts.

“The lunar soil,” writes geophysicist Yu. V. Selenyuk, “and the rocks date back to 4.6 billion years, that is, the age of the Moon is noticeably older than the age of the Earth. But some of its rocks were formed after the formation, after 600 million years.”

Elsewhere in her fundamental scientific work, Blavatsky asks the question: "Could people have existed 18 million years ago?" and then she herself answers this question: “To this Occultism answers in the affirmative, despite all scientific objections ... The Secret Doctrine states that physical humanity has existed on the globe for the last 18 million years, despite the general cataclysms and shifts in the Fourth Round our planet." This statement also contradicts the theories of modern scientific anthropogenesis, according to which the evolution of Homo sapiens - Homo sapiens - continues on Earth for no more than 100 thousand years. Already in 1885, in a piece of brown coal, which was mined in layers attributed by Dr. Adolf Gurlt to the late Neogene, a metal object with traces of artificial processing was discovered, called the “Salzburg parallelepiped”. When the Viennese experts conducted a chemical examination of the find in early 1966, the meteorite hypothesis of its formation was completely abandoned - the object did not contain nickel at all. It was probably made of cast iron and then machined around the perimeter. This is not the only find of its kind. Later, an iron hammer with a wooden handle was found in the rock; nail inside sandstone; a nail in a piece of quartz; a thimble (nicknamed "Eve's thimble"), in a piece of lignite, and many other fossil finds of a clearly artificial nature. There is still no explanation for the technologies for making a human skull made (presumably by the Mayan people) from a piece of rock crystal, a Delhi column cast from almost pure iron, electric batteries found in Iraq during excavations of graves dating back two thousand years ago.

Many of these finds became widely known thanks to the active propaganda work of the Swiss Erich von Deneken, who wrote several popular science books and created a number of documentaries. Of course, finding the material remains of a civilization that existed more than a million years ago is an extremely difficult task. Nevertheless, the real sensation of the 20th century was the discovery in the mid-70s by the Peruvian scientist Javier Cabrera Darkea of ​​the so-called "Ica stones" - engraving stones, whose age is estimated by scientists at 200 thousand years! These stone documents contain geographic maps, a heart transplant operation, people riding dinosaurs and long-extinct animals, and much more, which testifies to the misconceptions of anthropologists regarding the assessment of the period of conscious human activity on Earth. In Tikal (Central America), a stone stele was discovered on which the date 5,041,738 BC was carved.

The Secret Doctrine asserts the existence of human races of giants, whose growth gradually decreased in the course of evolution. The first people were real cyclops by today's standards, they reached a height of 18 meters! How else to explain the origin of such megalithic structures, such as the statues of Easter Island, the architectural monuments of South America in Tiahuanaco, Saxahuaman, Cusco (the basis of the structures were giant stone slabs weighing up to 100 tons!); the legendary Stonehenge and many others? Researcher Andrei Staroverov writes:

“According to the Spanish chronicle, having appeared on the American continent, Europeans with surprise and fear observed the skeleton of a giant in one of the Mayan temples.”

In the "Secret Doctrine" H.P. Blavatsky can be found visionary statements that "the day is approaching when an absolute reform in the modern methods of science by scientists themselves is required." Such a reform will be the rejection of the concept of the existence of only physical laws governing the universe. Progress in science will inevitably force researchers to turn to esoteric teachings in order to explain the nature of the so-called anomalous phenomena.

1. Blavatsky knew about the equivalence of energy and mass, which was later shown by Einstein in 1905 in his famous formula E=mc 2 .

2. She knew about the "speed of light squared" factor in this equation.

3. She predicted the photon, which Einstein discovered to the world in 1905, explaining the phenomenon of the photoelectric effect.

4. She knew about Brownian motion explained by Einstein in 1905.

5. She was aware of the internal relationship of space and time and the "world line". And this was subsequently discovered by Einstein.

6. She knew about the electron before its discovery in 1897.

7. Already in 1888 she knew when it would be opened.

8. She foresaw a huge leap in the disclosure of the secrets of nature, which will be made by science in the late XIX - early XX century. She knew that this would happen after the completion of the major overlapping cycles in 1897. It was in the years preceding this leap that science came to the conclusion about the almost complete completion of its ... mission. They say that she, science, has very little left to do, because there are no more ... secrets left.

The period predicted by E.P. Blavatsky's leap in science is marked by the following discoveries:

The discovery of the mysterious and completely unexpected X-ray phenomenon in December 1895 by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen;

The discovery of radioactivity by Anthony Henry Becquerel in 1896;

The discovery and proof of the existence of the electron by Sir J. Thomson in 1897, which heralded the beginning of the era of electronics with its enormous influence on all areas of science and on all daily life and marked the emergence of a scientific definition of the atom and penetration into the depths of the atom;

The discovery of alpha particles and beta particles by Rutherford;

The beginning of the experiments in the cloud chamber;

The discoveries of the beginning of the century by a group of so-called "monumental physicists" belong to this period of the leap. These discoveries were extremely striking and revolutionary.

9. She knew about quantization in nature. Later, in 1900, Max Planck first proposed the principle of quantization, a concept that was in complete contradiction to the ideas of that time.

10. She knew about the fact of the smallest splitting of time.

11. She knew that matter can be seen as coming from waves. In our century, de Broglie began to develop this idea in physics.

12. She knew that light can also be considered as a particle. She knew about the wave-particle paradox that was discovered in the 20th century, and she also knew how to solve this mystery.

13. She knew about the infinite divisibility of matter. In this direction, science advanced step by step - first by discovering the electron, then the proton, then the neutron, later the quarks and other particles, each time believing that it was finally discovering the primary particle. And only now, in the theory of strong interactions, science has approached the idea of ​​pure waves. Only now this idea is correlated with the science of the "Secret Doctrine".

14. She knew that at its core all the forces of nature are one. Again, physics has only progressed step by step towards understanding this. Decades before The Secret Doctrine, Maxwell unified electricity, magnetism, and light. Much later, in the same century, the weak nuclear forces were combined with electromagnetism. Scientists with varying degrees of success are working on the creation of the Great Unified Theory, which will also include strong nuclear forces. The most widely developed theory of strong forces since 1984 also adds the force of gravity to complete the unification. Moreover, this unity takes place at the very birth of the cosmos, which is consistent with the statements of Blavatsky.

15. She knew about the fundamental vibrational property of matter, discovered by Schrödinger and other experts in quantum mechanics.

16. She probably even knew the shape of the vibrations.

17. She knew that science does not fully understand the force of gravity, although for a long time the laws of gravity are presented as a classic example of the victory of science.

18. She knew that physicists, approaching the occult, would find many similarities in Eastern religion. As shown in the works of a number of authors, in the last quarter of the 20th century, such a similarity became apparent.

19. She hinted that the concept of ether would be rejected by science. Einstein later rejected it as unnecessary - and he was rejected.

20. She knew that later the concept of ether would return to science again. In a sense, this has already happened.

21. She knew that the principle of consciousness must be attached to matter and energy. Now some leading physicists are saying that quantum mechanics needs to introduce the principle of consciousness into physics.

22. She knew that the mind occupies a fundamental position in nature.

23. She argued that the cosmos is not an "unlimited vacuum" and not a "conditioned void", but both. Now some physicists confirm this.

24. She may have known about the so-called "spin" of subatomic particles.

25. She knew about the existence of consciousness in individual atoms. Some interpretations in experimental physics support this.

26. She suggested that the universe could be seen as a network of interdependencies. Some physicists share this view.

27. She knew about the interconnectedness of the entire cosmos. The so-called EPR experiment and similar ones, in accordance with the recent theory of John Bell, confirm this statement.

28. She believed that the Sun was not in a state of burning, as was believed in her time. The views of scientists of that era now seem naive to us, but how did she know about this?

29. She knew about the expansion of space. In her time, the idea of ​​an expanding universe was not allowed. The shocking discovery of the ongoing expansion of the universe was made by Edwin Hubble in 1929.

30. She was aware of the compression of space. Modern scientists, in particular the remarkable scientist Stephen Hawking, adhere to this point of view.

31. She argued that the cosmos goes through repeated cycles of expansion and contraction. Stephen Hawking and other scientists think the same way.

32. She knew about the existence of DNA - the genetic transmitter of hereditary information, discovered by Watson and Crick only in the 20th century.

33. She was aware of the difficulty in explaining the origin of the first DNA. It is calculated that its random origin is very unlikely:

34. She knew the principle of combining genes.

35. She suggested that "gaps" in the chronology of geological development would become a problem for Darwinism. These problems are now included in university courses on evolution. But how could she know what discoveries would be made when studying the mountains?

36. The facts of unexpected global climate changes, for example, the discovery in a zone with a cold climate of a frozen mammoth with undigested buttercup flowers in the stomach, did not present problems for Blavatsky. She argued that in the distant past there were changes in the axis of rotation of the Earth.

37. She knew the ancient history of the Earth before geologists testified about it. Let us mention only the recent discovery of gigantic flora and fauna in Australia, a zone that had previously not received attention.

38. She claimed that the planet has its own spirit. (How dared she say that in 1889?) Gaia followers now provide evidence of teleological (purposeful) activity on planet Earth.

39. Recognizing the teleological behavior of the Earth, one can admit the existence of consciousness and intelligence on the planet.

Recognizing that the Earth - a creature without a cerebral cortex - has consciousness and reason, assuming the possibility of some kind of consciousness in atoms and plants, one can assume its existence in the Sun. We are unusually close to proving the acceptability of the spiritual hierarchy shown by Blavatsky.

And in conclusion of this chapter, I would like to especially note that Blavatsky's theosophy fought not with science, but with the monopoly of that scientific direction, which in our time has brought humanity to the brink of a global catastrophe.

The Theosophy of Blavatsky called not for the return of hoary antiquity, but for a revision of the half-forgotten, half-caricatured old, which contains, like in a precious chest behind seven locks, a lot (if not all the best) of the new.

Blavatsky, without denying the need to design, so to speak, the aerodynamic wing of science, warned that science would not fly far on one wing: it was necessary to urgently take care of the other wing - the disclosure of the boundless energy of the spirit - a perpetual motion machine, known to all initiated thinkers of antiquity, partly memorable in the era of the Middle Ages, and hopelessly forgotten by the pragmatic-utilitarian science of modern times.

Blavatsky's predictions were confirmed in the 20th century. Today, its correctness has been proven, and there is much more evidence of this than is commonly believed. As a result, a whole list of areas was formed in which her prophecies were confirmed. Sometimes these proofs are quite clear and definite, at other times they require clarification. Therefore, it is necessary to preface the list of her statements with some explanations. Blavatsky did not use the technical terms that later appeared among scientists. What she means is to be understood from her texts. Her language is mysterious in some cases. For her, it was not the goal to fully clarify all the basics and details of the occult, which she taught. On the contrary, looking back, we see that she deliberately withheld some of the information, so that for readers - her contemporaries, she was almost completely incomprehensible, being a stimulus for the most part only for a sense of intuition; although after directly made scientific discoveries it becomes quite clear what Blavatsky had in mind. In some cases, the method of concealment was the spreading of semantic material in the text. Here it is necessary to connect passages that are separated from each other in the text. Sometimes she uses archaic language. In scientific circles, such a language is not accepted today. Therefore, it is required to accept a certain symbolism of statements and correlate them with data on nature and designations that take place at the appropriate time. We pay special attention to whether Blavatsky was aware of the most impressive modern discoveries. In doing so, we review the history of scientific progress over the past 100 years. The idea, which she boldly defended, in her time could be considered heresy, and today it is almost banal for us and is taken for granted by us. Each passage should generally be considered with the following questions: What was the state of knowledge in her time? How different was her knowledge from that of her era? To what extent has science since then been able to confirm her position? Naturally, this list is not free from some inevitable interpretation and subjective approach. It would be unfair to say that absolutely all subjectivity is excluded. In special cases, conjecture and conjecture come to the rescue. In trying to get as close to the truth as possible, this is necessary. There is a fair degree of precision in statements that very meticulous people would not accept. Because of the limitations in the text, the analysis of some of Blaatsky's conclusions is largely accidental. The most correct way to evaluate these conclusions is the method of considering the mentioned passage not only separately, but also in the larger context of all her works. And although this preliminary list may seem long, the final result is impressive. The correctness of Blavatsky is confirmed much deeper and more fully than it is generally assumed. Moreover, this list is certainly not complete. Almost everyone who has studied Blavatsky for a long time will be able to supplement it with his own remarks. We also see that the confirmation of TD* predictions continues. Science has not exhausted these confirmations. We need to recognize that TD is a book not only for the 19th and 20th centuries, but also a book for the 21st century. If, however, we take into account the depth of the occult in this book and the obvious source of knowledge behind the usual means of science of its day, we will come to the conclusion that TD* is a book for all time. It should become the textbook of the future. * TD - "Secret Doctrine". 1.

Recognizing that the Earth - a creature without a cerebral cortex - has consciousness and intelligence, assuming the possibility of some kind of consciousness in atoms and plants, one can admit its existence in the Sun. We are unusually close to proving the acceptability of the spiritual hierarchy shown by Blavatsky. We must give credit to Blavatsky, because the above list is so extensive. And in the future, the new data of science should be correlated with the data of TD. This will be evidence not of temporary usefulness, but of the enduring significance of TD.

Blavatsky's predictions were confirmed in the 20th century. Today, its correctness has been proven, and there is much more evidence of this than is commonly believed. As a result, a whole list of areas was formed in which her prophecies were confirmed. Sometimes these proofs are quite clear and definite, at other times they require clarification. Therefore, it is necessary to preface the list of her statements with some explanations.
Blavatsky did not use the technical terms that later appeared among scientists. What she means is to be understood from her texts.
Her language is mysterious in some cases.

For her, it was not the goal to fully clarify all the basics and details of the occult, which she taught. On the contrary, in retrospect, we see that she deliberately withheld some of the information, so that for readers - her contemporaries, she was almost completely incomprehensible, being a stimulus for the most part only for a sense of intuition; although after directly made scientific discoveries it becomes quite clear what Blavatsky had in mind.
In some cases, the method of concealment was the spreading of semantic material in the text. Here it is necessary to connect passages that are separated from each other in the text.
Sometimes she uses archaic language. In scientific circles, such a language is not accepted today. Therefore, it is required to accept a certain symbolism of statements and correlate them with data on nature and designations that take place at the appropriate time.

We pay special attention to whether Blavatsky was aware of the most impressive modern discoveries. In doing so, we review the history of scientific progress over the past 100 years. The idea, which she boldly defended, in her time could be considered heresy, and today it is almost banal for us and is taken for granted by us. Each passage should generally be considered with the following questions: What was the state of knowledge in her time? How different was her knowledge from that of her era? To what extent has science since then been able to confirm her position?
Naturally, this list is not free from some inevitable interpretation and subjective approach. It would be unfair to say that absolutely all subjectivity is excluded. In special cases, conjecture and conjecture come to the rescue. In trying to get as close to the truth as possible, this is necessary. There is a fair degree of precision in statements that very meticulous people would not accept.
Because of the limitations in the text, the analysis of some of Blaatsky's conclusions is largely accidental. The most correct way to evaluate these conclusions is the method of considering the mentioned passage not only separately, but also in the larger context of all her works.
And although this preliminary list may seem long, the final result is impressive. The correctness of Blavatsky is confirmed much deeper and more fully than it is generally assumed. Moreover, this list is certainly not complete. Almost everyone who has studied Blavatsky for a long time will be able to supplement it with his own remarks.
We also see that the confirmation of TD* predictions continues. Science has not exhausted these confirmations. We need to recognize that TD is not only a book for the 19th and 20th centuries, but also a book for the 21st century. If, however, we take into account the depth of the occult in this book and the obvious source of knowledge behind the usual means of science of its day, we will come to the conclusion that TD* is a book for all time. It should become the textbook of the future.
* TD - "Secret Doctrine".
1. Blavatsky knew about the equivalence of energy and mass, which was later shown by Einstein in 1905 in his famous formula E = mc^2.
2. She knew about the "speed of light squared" factor in this equation.
3. She assumed the photon, which Einstein discovered to the world in 1905, explaining the phenomenon of the photoelectric effect.
4. She knew about Brownian motion explained by Einstein in 1905.
5. She knew about the internal relationship of space and time and about the "world line". And this was subsequently discovered by Einstein.
6. She knew about the electron before its discovery in 1897.
7. Already in 1888 she knew when it would be opened.
8. She foresaw a huge leap in the disclosure of the secrets of nature, which will be made by science at the end of the last and the beginning of this century. She knew that this would happen at the conclusion of the major overlapping cycles in 1897. no secrets).
The period of this jump is marked by:
- the discovery of the mysterious and completely unexpected phenomenon of X-rays in December 1895 by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen;
- the discovery of radioactivity by Anthony Henry Becquerel in 1896:
- the discovery and proof of the existence of the electron by Sir J. J. Thomson in 1897, heralding the beginning of the era of electronics with its tremendous influence on all areas of science and all daily life - as well as marking the emergence of a scientific definition of the atom and penetration into the depths of the atom;
- the discovery of alpha particles and beta particles by Rutherford;
- the beginning of experiments in the cloud chamber;
- the discoveries of the beginning of the century by a group of so-called "monumental physicists" belong to this period of the leap. These discoveries were extremely amazingly revolutionary.
9. She knew about quantization in nature. Later, in 1900, Max Planck first proposed the principle of quantization, a concept that was in complete contradiction to the ideas of that time.
10. She knew about the fact of the smallest splitting of time.
11. She knew that matter can be seen as coming from waves. In our century, de Broglie began to develop this idea in physics.
12. She knew that light can also be considered as a particle. She knew about the wave/particle paradox that had been discovered in this century, and she also knew how to solve this mystery.
13. She knew about the infinite divisibility of matter. In this direction, science advanced only step by step - first by discovering the electron, then
- a proton, then - a neutron, then - quarks and other particles, each time believing that he finally opens the primary particle. And only now, in the theory of strong interactions, science has approached the idea of ​​pure waves. Only now this idea is correlated with the science of TD.
14. She knew that at its core all the forces of nature are one. Again, physicists have only progressed step by step towards understanding this. Decades before TD, Maxwell unified electricity, magnetism, and light. Much later in this century, the weak nuclear forces were combined with electromagnetism. Scientists with varying degrees of success are working on the creation of the Grand Unified Theory, which will include strong nuclear forces. The most widely developed since 1984 theory of strong interactions also adds the force of gravity to complete the unification. Moreover, this unity takes place at the very birth of the cosmos, which is consistent with the statements of Blavatsky.
15. She knew about the fundamental vibrational property of matter discovered by Schrödinger and other scientists in quantum mechanics.
16. She probably even knew about the shape of the vibrations.
17. She knew that science does not fully understand the force of gravity, although for a long time the laws of gravity are presented as a classic example of the victory of science.
18. She knew that physicists, approaching the occult, would find many similarities with Eastern religion. As shown in the works of a number of authors, in the last quarter of this century, such a similarity became apparent.
19. She hinted that the concept of ether would be rejected by science. Later, Einstein rejected it as unnecessary - and he was rejected.
20. She knew that later the concept of ether would return to science again. In a sense, this has already happened.
21. She knew that the principle of consciousness must be attached to matter and energy. Now some leading physicists are claiming that quantum mechanics itself needs to introduce the principle of consciousness into physics.
22. She knew that the mind occupies a fundamental position in nature.
23. She stated that the cosmos is not an "unlimited vacuum" and not a "conditioned void", but both. Now some physicists confirm this.
24. She may have known about the so-called "spin" of subatomic particles.
25. She knew about the existence of consciousness in individual atoms. Some interpretations in experimental physics support this.
26. She knew that the universe can be seen as a network of interdependencies. Some physicists share this view.
27. She knew about the interconnectedness of the entire cosmos. Einstein's so-called EPR experiment and similar ones, in accordance with the recent theory of John Bell, confirm this statement.
28. She knew that the sun was not in a state of burning, as was believed in her time. The views of scientists of that era now seem naive to us, but how did she know about this?
29. She knew about the expansion of space. In her time, the idea of ​​an expanding universe was not allowed. The shocking discovery of the ongoing expansion of the universe was made by Edwin Hubble in 1929.
30. She knew about the compression of the cosmos. Modern scientists, in particular, the remarkable scientist Hawking, adhere to this point of view.
31. She argued that the cosmos goes through repeated cycles of expansion and contraction. Stephen Hawking and other scientists think the same way.
32. She knew about the existence of DNA - the genetic transmitter of hereditary information, discovered by Watson and Hicks only in this century.
33. She was aware of the difficulties in explaining the origin of the first DNA. It is calculated that its random occurrence is very unlikely.
34. She knew the principle of combining genes.
35. She knew that "gaps" in the chronology of geological development would be a problem for Darwinism. These problems are now included in university courses on evolution. But how could she know what discoveries would be made when studying the mountains?
36. The facts of unexpected global climate changes, for example, the discovery in a cold climate zone of a frozen mammoth with undigested buttercup flowers in the stomach, did not present problems for Blavatsky. She argued that in the distant past there were changes in the axis of rotation of the Earth.
37. She knew the ancient history of the Earth before geologists testified about it. Since it is not possible at this time to write about the subject from all sides, with many results and by no means finished, we will only mention the recent discovery of a gigantic flora and fauna in Australia, a zone that previously enjoyed attention.
38. She claimed that the planet has its own spirit. (How dared she say this in 1888?) Now the followers of the Gaia theory give evidence of the teleological (purposeful) activity of the planet Earth.
39. Recognizing the teleological behavior of the Earth, one can admit the existence of consciousness and intelligence on the planet. Recognizing that the Earth - a creature without a cerebral cortex - has consciousness and reason, assuming the possibility of some kind of consciousness in atoms and plants, one can admit its existence in the Sun. We are unusually close to proving the acceptability of the spiritual hierarchy shown by Blavatsky.
We must give credit to Blavatsky, because the above list is so extensive. And in the future, the new data of science should be correlated with the data of TD. This will be evidence not of temporary usefulness, but of the enduring significance of TD.

Helena Petrovna Blavatsky(English: Helena Blavatsky, nee Gan, German von Hahn; July 31 (August 12), Yekaterinoslav, Russian Empire - April 26 (May 8), London) - theosophist, writer and traveler.
Some authoritative sources (mostly Western, encyclopedias) claim that H. P. Blavatsky was an occultist and spiritualist, others (some Russian philosophical dictionaries, encyclopedias, textbooks) - Russian

PREDICTION OF COMING EVENTS

When, in response to a direct accusation, the author of The Occult World published a letter in the Bombay Gazette (April 4, 1882), he began it with the following statement: “By the time the Occult World was completed, I was already convinced that The Theosophical Society is connected through Madame Blavatsky with the great Brotherhood of Adepts I have described. Now my confidence is backed up by even more knowledge.” Our faithful friend at that time hardly imagined that one fine day his opinion would be confirmed by thousands of testimonies. But that is the current state of affairs. Skeptics, prejudiced people, or interested witnesses in general, can sneer if they like, but the fact cannot be denied. At least our friends, and we also have well-wishers who think we are neither crazy nor impostors, will be happy to read the following confession.

While in Madras we learned that a Tamil scholar, a district college pundit, wished to speak with us personally. The conversation took place in the presence of Mr. Singaravelu, President of the Krishna Theosophical Society, and another credible Theosophist from Nellore, Mr. S. Aravamudu Ayangar, a Sanskrit scholar. We are not at liberty to disclose here the content of this conversation, except for a few facts which may serve as another great argument in favor of our repeated assurances that:

1. our Society was founded at the suggestion of the Indian and Tibetan Adepts themselves;
2. we came to this country doing Their will.

Let our friends draw their own conclusions. We are glad to know that the learned pandit is now busy describing in more detail in Tamil and Telugu the facts presented here and is trying to get the testimonies of living respected people who heard the prophecies of his guru, which were fulfilled exactly.

Statement by Tholuvar Velayudham Mudellar, Second Tamil Pandit, Madras District College [To the author of The Concise Guide to Esoteric Theosophy]

Sir, I take the liberty of informing you that I was the chela of the late Arulprakza Vallalar, also known as Chidambaram Ramalinga Pillai Avergal, a renowned south Indian yogi. Upon learning that the English public and Hindus expressed doubts about the existence of Mahatma(of the Adepts) and the fact of the creation of the Theosophical Society on their special instructions, and, moreover, having heard of your recent work, which cost you no small effort, where evidence is presented concerning the Mahatmas pro et con, I intend to publicize some facts related to my venerable Guru. I believe that they should completely dispel such doubts and prove that Theosophy is not an error, and the Society in question is built on a solid foundation.

Let me begin with a brief description of my Guru's personality and teachings.

Ramalinga Pillai was born in Maruthur, Chidambaram Taluk, South Arcot, Madras District. He settled in Madras at the very beginning of his activity and lived there for a long time. At the age of 9, he could retell verbatim the content of the works of Agastya and other munis, equally revered by Dravidians and Aryans, without prior reading. In 1849 I became his disciple, and although no one knew where he had taken initiation, within a few years a fair number of disciples had gathered around him. Ramalingam was a great alchemist and had a strange ability, which was noticed very often - to turn meat-eaters into vegetarians; it seemed that one look from him was enough to forever avert the desire to eat animal food. He also had the amazing ability to read other people's minds. In 1855 he moved from Madras to Chidambaram and from there to Vadulur and Kariguli, where he lived for several years. Many times during his stay there, he left his followers, disappearing in an unknown direction and being absent for more or less long periods of time. Outwardly, Ramalingam looked like this: medium height, thin, so much so that he actually resembled a skeleton, but at the same time a strong man, slender build, walked very quickly, light brown complexion, straight thin nose, huge burning eyes and a constant expression of sadness on his face. face. By the end of his earthly life, he grew long hair, and rather unusually for yogis, he wore shoes. His clothes consisted of only two pieces of white cloth. He had exceptionally moderate habits. It was known that he almost never rested. A strict vegetarian, he ate only once every two or three days, and even then he was satisfied with a few grains of rice. But when he fasted for two or three months, he literally ate nothing, living on just warm water with a little sugar.

Because of his speeches for the abolition of caste distinctions, he did not enjoy very great popularity. But still, representatives of all castes gathered around him in crowds. People came not so much to listen to his sermons as in the hope see phenomena, or "miracles", and to learn them; The Ramalingam was usually credited with the power to perform miracles, although he himself denied the idea of ​​supernaturalism, constantly claiming to adhere to a religion based on science. Among many other ideas he preached that:

1. despite the fact that the Indian people do not listen to his words and advice, yet the esoteric meaning Vedas and other sacred books of the East will be revealed by the keepers of secrets, the Mahatmas, to foreigners who will receive it with joy;
2. the destructive influence of the Kalipurusha cycle, which is now taking place in the world, will be neutralized in about 10 years;
3. the use of animal food will gradually come to naught;
4. distinctions between races and castes will eventually disappear, and in time the principle of Universal Brotherhood will prevail, which will be established in India;
5. what people call "god" is in fact Universal Love, which generates and maintains perfect Harmony and Balance in all nature;
6. people, once believing in the divine power hidden in them, will acquire such extraordinary abilities that they will be able to change the operation of the law of gravity, etc.

In 1867, he founded a Society called "Sumarasa Veda Sanmarga Sungham", which means "Society based on the principle of Universal Brotherhood"; the purpose of this society was to spread the true Vedic doctrine. It need hardly be said that these principles are similar to the aims of the Theosophical Society. Our Society existed for only 5 or 6 years, but during this time it was able to feed a very large number of poor and infirm people at the expense of its members.

Having reached the age of 54 (in 1873), Ramalingam began to prepare students for his departure from this world. He announced his intention to go into samadhi. In the first half of 1873 he preached his views on the Universal Brotherhood very intensively. But in the last quarter of that year, he completely stopped lecturing and maintained an almost unbroken silence. He spoke again at the end of January 1874 and repeated his prophecies below. The last time we saw our teacher was on January 30th at Metukuppam. Having chosen a small building, he entered an empty room, having previously cordially said goodbye to his chelas, lay down on the carpet and then, at his direction, the door was locked and the only hole was sealed up. A year later, nothing was found in this room but bare walls. Saying goodbye, Ramalingam promised to return, but did not say when, where and under what circumstances. However, he said that he would be concerned with the development of the consciousness of people capable of helping the cause of the rebirth of peace, not only in India, but also in Europe, America and all other countries.

Such, in brief, is the history of this great man. The facts stated by me are known to thousands of people. All the activities of my Guru were dedicated to preaching the sublime moral doctrines of the Hindu Shastras and implanting in the minds of people the principles of Universal Brotherhood, benevolence and mercy. But, to his great regret, among the crowds surrounding him, he found very few followers who valued noble ethical ideas. During the second half of his earthly activity, the Ramalingam often expressed bitter regret about this and repeatedly exclaimed: “You are not worthy to be members of the Society of the Universal Brotherhood. The true members of this Brotherhood live far from here, in the north of India.. You don't listen to me. You are not following my teachings. It seems that you have decided not to part with your former beliefs. Still, the time is not far off when people from Russia, America(these two countries were always named) and other states come to India and preach to you the same principles of Universal Brotherhood. Only then will you understand and appreciate the great truths that I am trying in vain to convey to you. You will soon find out that Brothers living far north will do many wonderful things in India for the benefit of your country.”

In my opinion, this prophecy was literally fulfilled. That there are Mahatmas in the north is not news to us Hindus; but the unusual fact of the arrival of Madame Blavatsky from Russia and Colonel Olcott from America, predicted a few years before their arrival in India, is irrefutable evidence that my guru was associated with the Mahatmas, under whose leadership the Theosophical Society was subsequently formed.

This is one of those cases of prediction of future events, which least of all gives rise to suspicion of insincerity. The noble character of the witness, the publicity of his guru's speeches, and the impossibility of obtaining information about the formation and work of the Theosophical Society in India by rumor or from newspaper reports - all this leads to the conclusion that Yogi Ramalingam really consulted Those Who ordered us to establish the Theosophical Society. In March 1873 we were instructed to proceed from Russia to Paris. In June we were told to go to the USA, where we arrived on July 6

The world is endless, bright. The planet is inhabited by people seeking to find a place in life. Everyone wants to find a personal purpose in life, to leave something behind. The task extends to every person, even to those who stand out from the crowd. One can only imagine what responsibility falls on those who came into the world with a special purpose: to signal, notify society of upcoming changes and events. One such person was Elena Petrovna Blavatsky. After herself, she left many works that are relevant today.

Helena Petrovna Blavatsky

Childhood and conscious life of the famous soothsayer

Elena was born into an intelligent family in the first half of the nineteenth century. The family was considered educated. The mother and father loved the girl. Raised in the spirit of justice, respect for the person. On the maternal side there was a famous princess who became famous for writing the most famous works. On the father's side, the famous Macklenburg count family appears. Unfortunately, the girl did not receive maternal love, because she suddenly died of consumption. The maternal grandparents took care of the child.

So, Elena Petrovna Blavatsky already from childhood got acquainted with the nature of Ukraine, Russia, the Caucasus. The girl simultaneously understood that in some mysterious way she was different from other peers, peers. The child drew, played the piano, had a penchant for foreign languages. Talents were revealed in her in childhood.

adult years

So, Elena Petrovna Blavatsky decided in her life:

• a writer;
• occultist;
• spiritualist;
• a traveler;
• philosopher.

She announced that the brotherhood of Tibetan mahatmas guards the "secret knowledge", the traveler will become a student of this brotherhood.

In the second half of the nineteenth century, together with her associates, Elena Petrovna Blavatsky founded the Theosophical Society. It went deep into the teachings to reveal in them the supersensible powers of people. Only in this way, according to the woman, are the secrets of nature comprehended. The main goal of the philosopher was to create a society without distinctions in skin color, faith, castes, and so on.

The Theosophical Society was overwhelmingly popular, so branches were opened in the cities of the world. The fortune teller wrote her works in English, which she was fluent in.

Helena Petrovna Blavatsky in India

A man of extraordinary strength

Even Colonel Olcott did not dare to say who Elena Petrovna really was, but everyone around agreed that this woman had extraordinary spiritual strength. Only having excessive strictness towards oneself, the desire to improve oneself gave the fruits of success in the society of that time. Also, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky was a truly sincere person, because she had a beautiful soul.

The woman did not care what they thought of her, how they would react to her actions. Sometimes she was overly eloquent in correspondence with many people, but she could not, did not know how to do it differently. The traveler was extremely impatient when it came to serving the idea. The will of the Teacher was fulfilled in any case, no matter how long-suffering life seemed.

Another striking character trait was humor, brilliant, well-aimed, sometimes not to everyone's liking. Having a sharp tongue, bright charisma, Elena Petrovna Blavatsky immediately stood out from the crowd. She liked to tell some fable to keep the conversation going.

The dark side of the coin

Along with unprecedented fame, the soothsayer made many enemies among atheists and orthodox people. The writer had the imprudence to say that the orthodox people incorrectly interpret the legends of the Bible.

Those, of course, took up arms against the philosopher for this. Atheists claimed that the founder of the Theosophical Society was excessively fond of mysticism, therefore she was considered a charlatan. Even Roerich himself noted that Elena Petrovna had a hard time, because she often became a victim of slander, lead, ignorance, rudeness. Roerich admired the traveler's education and believed that over time Russia would appreciate the bright mind of the martyr.

The soothsayer has made many enemies among atheists, orthodox

Awareness of the soothsayer in many matters

A brilliant woman showed herself in the second half of the nineteenth century. At that time, technology, science developed strongly, man comprehended the external form of life. In turn, the spiritualist was engaged in esotericism. It was important for her to delve into the religious concept of the nation, to study the symbolism, magic, and rituals of the country. Each member of society strived for personal growth, spiritual self-improvement. Mahatma Gandhi himself bowed to the great woman.

So, Blavatsky Elena Petrovna was the strongest writer. Her multi-volume heritage in the form of fantastic stories, literary stories, and notes was published in America. Religious teachings are vividly compared in the two-volume Isis Unveiled. The "Secret Doctrine" summarizes the entire creative path of the seeker of the unknown, the unique. The two-volume book was written in just two years.

Elena the know-it-all was disliked in secular circles, since she, without special preparation, could enter into a debate with a famous philosopher. In order for the words to have weight, she cited facts from ancient scriptures. In her books, such a scope of knowledge hits the eyes that it is unlikely that anyone else can compete with this great woman in erudition.

Many experts are now coming to the conclusion that Madame Blavatsky was born too early. She was ahead of her time, therefore she greatly undermined the scientific foundations of that time. Now her works are the property of science. Only a hundred years have passed, many of the predictions have come true. Astronomers, archaeologists, other specialists call it a phenomenon.

Having visited such countries as India, Tibet, the writer got acquainted with ancient texts, communicated with the abbots of temples and monasteries. The ancient manuscripts contained a lot of useful, unique information. Rolls of priceless papers, stored in specially designated, closed to the common man, places. Under all the eastern temples and monasteries there are passages that only knowledgeable people could visit. Elena was one of those people.

Blavatsky with Henry Olcott - her associate, like-minded, friend

Personal life in a separate line

Passions were in full swing, as contemporaries claimed. Being married, the traveler marries again Betanelli (Georgian by nationality). She was also credited with novels with barons, princes. But at the end of her years, Elena Petrovna was considered a zealous feminist and man-hater. She told everyone that she was proud of her life, proud of the fact that she devoted herself primarily to society, and not to specific people. It suited her that there were no children, our philosopher did not burden herself with caring for them.

How Madame Blavatsky saw America

Arriving by boat from France, she lived in the poorest quarter, making artificial flowers. She did manual labor to support herself. Even the inheritance from his father did not save him. Significant was the meeting with Colonel Olcott. During frequent conversations, good songs, the interlocutors became close.

Madame Blavatsky's apartment was tastefully furnished. The interweaving of different cultures succinctly fit into the interior of the premises.

The environment contributed to creative manifestations, so the writer decided in 1875 to write messages to the Brotherhood of Teachers and create her own church.

Isis Unveiled was written in a mystical way. Our philosopher claimed that when she approached her desk in the morning, there were about thirty sheets of manuscript on it, which appeared out of nowhere during the night. While writing, Master took over her body, mind. Darwin is criticized in this work. The suggestion is made that occult insight should also be studied as a science. In the second volume there are suggestions that on the basis of Buddhism, science and religion can be united.

Helena Petrovna Blavatsky pays special attention to the Dzyan manuscript. The work was written in Senzar. Only the gods understood the language. The seer drew an analogy of "Dzyan" with the Bible and other significant books for society as a whole. Not everyone can understand the deep meaning of books; ancient texts were supplied with special keys that only a select few could decipher. Our spiritualist was one of them. In confirmation of this, the mention of the "Divine breath" in the "Secret Doctrine".

A hundred years ago, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, who never compromised, suggested that Universes appear and disappear. It is unusual to understand that already in ancient times people had ideas about the Universes, about the Cosmos. Also in her writings, Elena Petrova claimed that initially there was nothing. There was only darkness, from which everything slowly emerged. There was no matter, no time, no space. I would like to give, as an example, the words of Einstein, who claimed the same thing.

Blavatskaya Elena Petrovna predicted the divisibility of the atom

Blavatsky's Accurate Predictions

Divisibility of the atom

During the time of Elena Petrovna, the fact of atomic fission was denied. Contemporary scientists argued that everything around consists of solid, impenetrable particles. Only at the beginning of the twentieth century did the world start talking about the electron. Electronics entered everyday life, changed it forever. More recently, it turned out that the so-called bricks are divided. The divisibility of small particles is carried out ad infinitum.

Where did our philosopher have reliable information? There is no secret, there is only a relationship with Nature, the evolution of human thought. Laws, conclusions were based on Cosmic axioms. All this and more is described in The Secret Doctrine, the Book for All Ages.

There is no void in space

The ingenious soothsayer once claimed that there is no emptiness on the planet Earth, there is only a collision of the strongest energies. This revelation is described in The Secret Doctrine.

Physics of the Sun

The Great Messenger of the Light Forces said a century ago that the Sun is able to breathe! By the way, thanks to the sun (rhythmically pulsating organism), Elena Petrovna Blavatskaya systematically received knowledge, expanded her horizons, and was guided by the knowledge of the Living Universe. The sun directs the evolution of mankind in the right direction.

In The Secret Doctrine, the Great Prophetess spoke about the cosmic thinking of man, about those sciences on which human strength is spent most of all. Blavatsky claimed that people had already come from somewhere on the planet Earth. The following example is given to confirm her words. A Peruvian scientist found stone engravings in the second half of the twentieth century, which were about two hundred thousand years old. On the stones-messages are depicted a map of the earth, ancient animals, human health is described.

Blavatsky claimed that people had already come from somewhere on the planet earth

A hundred years ago, the Great Woman suggested that the Cosmos is expanding and contracting. Her contemporaries even found it difficult to understand the meaning of words, not that they entered into controversy. Confirmation came in the first half of the twentieth century from E. Hubble. The scientist constructed a cosmological prototype of the expansion of the Universe based on the displacement of the galaxy. Over time, another outstanding scientist worked closely with the concepts of compression of the Cosmos.

ultrasonic waves

Waves were only talked about in the twentieth century. In turn, Madame Blavatsky - at the end of the nineteenth century. Dudinsky argued that science, whether it wants it or not, is crawling towards Theosophy, where Cosmic Laws predominate, Divine Wisdom develops. The turns of evolution are very important for humanity, since there are forces to achieve the set goals, a vision appears in which direction to move.

Age of planets

Our philosopher knew the approximate age of the Earth, the Moon, and indicated it in her Secret Doctrine. Thanks to the radiocarbon method, American astronauts were able to determine the age of the moon, brought some soil with them to earth. Based on the study, the Moon is older than the Earth.

Biology

Our Elena Ivanovna touched upon the holy of holies of biology, suggested the existence of DNA. At that time, her awareness of this issue was so great that the woman was freely oriented in the mechanism of gene connection. The difficulty was only the origin of the first DNA. The Great Seer believed that genetics, as a science, would develop over time to incredible heights.

Watson and Crick excellently deciphered the genetic code by depicting DNA as a double helix. Both received the Nobel Prize. As the Thin Plan of a person expands, his evolution and acquaintance with the environment are evenly carried out. In theosophical teaching, many find answers to their questions of interest. Blavatsky warned her contemporaries that you would not be fed up with science alone. Along with scientific theses, discoveries, one should take care of the boundless energy of the Spirit. The latter is a strong source of creativity.

The Great Seer believed that genetics would develop over time to incredible heights.

Don't put up with misinformation

In The Secret Doctrine, the soothsayer strongly criticized Darwin's theory, since it did not have a sufficient evidence base. One famous professor said on this occasion that lies were taken at face value. The human body, the body of an animal for centuries, for thousands of years, went different ways, developed. To create a human form of life, a unique building material is needed. Under no circumstances, under no circumstances, under any upbringing, will an animal become a man, it will not take on human facial features and character. There can be no compromises.

Moon

Our writer in his writings argued that earlier the Moon (large size) was at a smaller distance from the Earth. For many years the planet gave its life force to the Earth. Now the Moon is called a dead planet and sends dead biofields to us, which is harmful. White tissue (ozone layer) protects from harmful radiation, in its full phase the Moon is most harmful to humanity.

Time will pass, the neighbor-planet will disappear altogether, will transfer the reins of government to the planet standing behind it. The soothsayer also claimed in her books that the continuation of the family in the future will be carried out without conception. This applies to plants, animals and humans. The air will be saturated with ether. The woman believed that many years would pass, and people would become more receptive on a mental level, spiritual.

The future is behind a bright mind, great forces are behind love for each other, behind human wisdom.
