On this matter, Blavatsky wrote an article where she began by saying:
« The Masters avoid
meddling in politics, although they have influenced more than one occasion on momentous matters about the history of
nations.
However, if any Adept has
influenced the great revolutions that have occurred, in any case these have not
been the Transhimalayan Masters, because they are not interested in a
particular people, but in Humanity in general.
If any Adepts have influenced
Washington or brought about the great American Revolution, it was not the
“Tibetan Mahatmas” at any rate; for these have never shown much sympathy with
the Pelings of whatever Western race, except as forming a part of Humanity in
general.
Yet it is as certain, though this
conviction is merely a personal one, that several Brothers of the Rosie Cross —or
“Rosicrucians,” so called— did take a prominent part in the American struggle
for independence, as much as in the French Revolution during the whole of the
past century. We have documents to that effect, and the proofs of it are in our
possession. But these Rosicrucians were Europeans and American settlers, who
acted quite independently of the Indian or Tibetan Initiates.
Neither person acquainted even
superficially with the rules of the Adepts would believe for one moment that
any of the cruel, blood-thirsty heroes of the regicides and others of English
and French history, could have ever been inspired by any Adept — let alone a
Hindu or Buddhist Mahatma. But only by dark entities.
President Bradshaw — If such a
cold, hard and impassive man can be suspected of having ever been influenced by
any power outside of, and foreign to, his own soulless entity — must have been
inspired by a lower being from the astral, or the “personal” god of Calvin and
those Puritans who burnt to the greater glory of their deity — “ever ready for
a bribe of blood to aid the foulest cause” alleged witches and heretics by
hundreds of thousands.
Surely it is not the living
Mahatmas but “the Biblical one living God,” he who, thousands of years ago, had
inspired Jephthah to murder his daughter, and the weak David to hang the seven
sons and grandsons of Saul “in the hill before the Lord”; and who again in our
own age had moved Guiteau to shoot President Garfield that must have also
inspired Danton and Robespierre, Marat and the Russian Nihilists to open eras
of Terror and turn Churches into slaughter-houses. »

Observation
Master Morya explained that just
as they try to lift humanity towards more light and wisdom, there is also a
counterpart of beings of darkness and black magicians who try to plunge
humanity into chaos and darkness. And what he said about that was the
following:
« In the universe all is contrast (I cannot translate it better) so the
light of the Dhyan Chohans and their pure intelligence is contrasted by the dark
Chohans and their destructive intelligence. But we cannot counteract the work
of these Dark Chohans, just as we cannot counteract the black magicians who are
on Earth, and whose bad results we try to alleviate, but in whose work we do
not have the right to interfere as they do not cross our path. »

ROLE OF THE COUNT OF SAINT-GERMAIN
And about the role played by the Count of Saint Germain, Blavatsky said the
following:
« It is our firm
conviction based on historical evidence and direct inferences from many of the
Memoirs of those days that the French Revolution is due to one Adept. It is
that mysterious personage, now conveniently classed with other “historical
charlatans” (i. e. great men whose occult knowledge and powers shoot over the
heads of the imbecile majority), namely, the Count de St. Germain — who brought
about the just outbreak among the paupers, and put an end to the selfish
tyranny of the French kings — the “elect, and the Lord’s anointed.” And we know
also that among the Carbonari — the precursors and pioneers of Garibaldi there
was more than one Freemason deeply versed in occult sciences and Rosicrucianism. »
(CW
VI, p.19)
Observation
In a letter, Master Kuthumi wrote
about the Count of Saint-Germain:
« It was a failure, a total failure! »
(ML 49, p.280)
And based on what Blavatsky said,
I deduce that Master Kuthumi is probably referring to Saint-Germain's mission
as a failure, because the Masters had expected him to avoid more violence and
bloodshed than the one that accompanied the transition from feudal society
dominated by an ancient monarchy, to the new society characterized by greater
personal and political freedom.
THE PROPHECIES OF SAINT-GERMAIN
Blavatsky also mentioned that the Count of Saint-Germain wrote a manuscript
where he prophesied what was going to happen, and where it seems that he got it
completely right:
«The thorough metamorphosis of nearly the whole of the European map,
beginning with the French Revolution of ’93, predicted in every detail by the
Count de St.-Germain, in an autograph MS., now in possession of the descendants
of the Russian nobleman to whom he gave it, and coming down to the Franco-Prussian
War of the latter days. »
