Blavatsky had a very bad character
with which it was difficult to live, and that is why when Alfred Sinnett and
Alan Hume complained about it, Master Kuthumi explained the hidden reasons
behind this character that disconcerting behavior of Madame Blavatsky:
« I am painfully aware of the fact that the habitual incoherence of her
statements — especially when excited — and her strange ways make her in your
opinion a very undesirable transmitter of our messages.
Nevertheless, kind Brothers, once that you have
learned the truth; once told, that this unbalanced mind, the seeming
incongruity of her speeches and ideas, her nervous excitement, all that in
short, which is so calculated to upset the feelings of sober minded people,
whose notions of reserve and manners are shocked by such strange outbursts of
what they regard as her temper, and which so revolt you, — once that you know that nothing of
it is due to any fault of hers, you may, perchance, be led to regard her in
quite a different light.
Notwithstanding that the time is not quite ripe to let
you entirely into the secret; and that you are hardly yet prepared to
understand the great Mystery, even if told of it, owing to the great injustice
and wrong done, I am empowered to allow you a glimpse behind the veil.
This state of hers is intimately connected with her
occult training in Tibet, and due to her being sent out alone into the world to
gradually prepare the way for others. After nearly a century of fruitless search,
our chiefs had to avail themselves of the only opportunity to send out a
European body
upon European soil to serve as a connecting link between that country and our
own.
You do not understand? Of course not. Please then,
remember, what she tried to explain, and what you gathered tolerably well from
her, namely the fact of the seven
principles in the complete
human being. Now, no man or woman, unless he be an initiate of the "fifth
circle," can leave the precincts of Bod-Las*
and return back into the world in his integral whole — if I may use the
expression.
One, at least of his seven satellites has to remain behind for two reasons:
the first to form the necessary connecting link, the wire of transmission — the
second as the safest warranter that certain things will never be divulged.
She is no exception to the rule, and you have seen
another exemplar — a highly intellectual man — who had to leave one of his
skins behind; hence, is considered highly eccentric. The bearing and status of
the remaining six
depend upon the inherent qualities, the psycho-physiological peculiarities of
the person, especially upon the idiosyncracies transmitted by what modern
science calls "atavism."
(Cid's note:
that is, the person behaves as he did in the past, and perhaps here the master
Kuthumi refers to childhood or even a previous reincarnation.)
Acting in accordance with my wishes, my brother M∴ [Morya] made to you through her a certain offer, if you remember. You had but
to accept it, and at any time you liked, you would have had for an hour or
more, the real baitchooly
to converse with, instead of the psychological cripple you generally have to
deal with now.
Yesterday it was his [Alan Hume's] mistake. He ought not to have sent her to deliver the message to Mr.
Sinnett in the state she was in. But to hold her responsible for her purely
physiological excitement, and to let her see your contemptuous smiles — was
positively sinful.
Pardon me, my Brothers and good Sirs, my plain talk. I
act but in accord with what was asked from me by yourself in your letter. I
took the trouble to "ascertain the spirit and meaning" with which
everything in Mr. Sinnett's room was said and done; and though having no right
to "condemn" you — since you were ignorant of the true state of
things — I cannot otherwise but strongly disapprove of that, which, however
much polished outwardly would have been even under quite ordinary circumstances
— cruelty still. Buss! »

26, p.203-4)
Observation
* The word Bod-Las, as it is written in the letter does
not exist. If we take it as Bod-Lhas (bod: Tibet, lhas: gods) it should be
translated as "gods of Tibet". And if we take it as Bod-pas, it would
mean "Tibetans". Possibly the master Kuthumi refers with this word to
the occult center located in Tibet where Blavatsky was trained.
