BLAVATSKY'S ALLEGED "UNTRUTHS"

There is no religion, belief or opinion higher than the truth.

     A number of Theosophical students as well as other individuals have
claimed that H.P. Blavatsky made various statements
which could be called "untruths."  K. Paul Johnson in his various books
deals with some of these "untruths." Other individuals have
also brought forth examples of what they consider "untruths" on the part
of Madame Blavatsky. Dallas TenBroeck, a longtime student
of Madame Blavatsky's life and works, has objected to these claims of
"untruths."  I quote a statement below from Mr. TenBroeck on
this subject.  This web page has been created with the specific aim of
dealing in a fair and open way with the alleged "untruths" and
their rebuttals or confirmations (if there are any).  We encourage
people interested in this subject to submit to this Web Site
examples/confirmations/rebuttals of these alleged "untruths."  Please
send relevant items to blafoun@azstarnet.com   Please sign your

        No controversy surrounding H.P. Blavatsky is considered "off
limits" to this site. However, all contributors should fully  
document their assertions and be willing to share in some detail their
reasoning and understanding for the various statements made.
Serious and indepth discussion is desired; heated argument and name
calling are discouraged. Please share what you know
about these controversies with others. All participants are encouraged
to make regular contributions to this forum.---Daniel H.
