Madame H.P. Blavatsky & White Lotus Day May 8th, 2003

Almost 112 years ago, the Theosophist Julia Keightley had the 
following experience: 

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

With "White Lotus Day" [May 8th, 2003]only a few days away, readers 
(especialy newcomers and inquirers) may find the following material 
on Madame Blavatsky, the Masters and Theosophy helpful and
