HPB IN TIBET

John G. Bennett in one of his books mentions that Gurdjieff told him and perhaps others that he had met Madame Blavatsky when he was in his teens and that she 'fell in love' with him and I can well imagine that she might well have done so, had she,indeed, met him and if so, perhaps stimulated him to venture forth on excursions and quests of his own, in the lands to which she was said to be on the way at that time. There are, of course, some curious conjectures that can be made in comparing the lives of these two great occultists and possibly the third one of AC,especially in regards to their being in India and that area of the world, plus in the Mediterranean area, and in Europe, Paris, London,etc. Also, there is the various descriptions of all three as 'spies' and 'agents',etc. which add to the mystery and the romance and the liklihood that they earned their 'keep' in such a manner.

  1. The possible connection(s) between Madame Blavatsky & Gurdjieff are interesting speculations.....as concerns the latter, G told some of his followers many 'stories' of his reading the 'SECRET DOCTRINE" claimed, as have others, that she never was in all the places, like in Tibet, as claimed....of course, many have said the same for G...both of these 'occultists' brought a 'system', a 'work' etc to the West and their 'fanciful' unverified lives have some parallels,of course....however, the 'modern' versions of their exploits, that is, the ones you can trace, find, read or discuss leave one with considerable doubts, even among their followers......Gurdjieff has apparently said that studies of 'occultism' true or false, accurate or misleading, can provide an 'axis' on whihc to revolve and take off from for certain aims and possible development....all with many pitfalls and byways....as well as risks...
