KAMIS (15/8) dini hari menjelang subuh kira-kira pukul 3, saya terbangun, dan langsung teringat bahwa saya ditampakkan mimpi berjumpa mendiang Madam Helena Blavatsky di sebuah rumah sederhana khas Amerika. Lantainya terbuat dari kayu.
Di dalam mimpi itu, Madam Blavatsky terlihat memakai baju biru pastel tua. Ia tersenyum ramah, giginya kelihatan. Ia terlihat sepuh, duduk di sebuah kursi yang memiliki tangan. Saya menyalami Madam Blavatsky dengan ucapan "Assalaamu'alaikum!" sambil takzim merapatkan kedua telapak tangan saya di dagu dan kedua ibu jari yang menempel di atas jakun.
Madam Blavatski membalas salam saya itu sambil menganggukan kepalanya empatpuluh lima derajat, perlahan seraya tersenyum memperlihatkan gigi serinya yang rapih.
Kelanjutan mimpi itu tidak saya ingat lagi.

Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (Russian: Еле́на Петро́вна Блава́тская, Ukrainian: Олена Петрівна Блаватська), (born as Helena von Hahn(Russian: Елена Петровна Ган, Ukrainian: Олена Петрівна Ган); 12 August [O.S. 31 July] 1831 – 8 May 1891) was a Russian-German occultist.[1]
In 1875, Blavatsky and Henry Steel Olcott established a research and publishing institute called the Theosophical Society. Blavatsky defined Theosophy as "the archaic Wisdom-Religion, the esoteric doctrine once known in every ancient country having claims to civilization."[2] One of the main purposes of the Theosophical Society was "to form a nucleus of the Universal Brotherhood of Humanity, without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste or color".[3] Blavatsky saw herself as a missionary of this ancient knowledge.
Her extensive research into the spiritual traditions of the world led to the publication of what is now considered her magnum opus, The Secret Doctrine, which organizes the essence of these teachings into a comprehensive synthesis. Blavatsky's other works include Isis Unveiled, The Key to Theosophy and The Voice of the Silence. Well-known and controversial during her life, Blavatsky was no stranger to criticism. Some authors have questioned the authenticity of her writings and the validity of her claims[4][5] while others have praised them.[6][7] Blavatsky is a leading name in theNew Age Movement.
The Theosophical Society had a major influence on Buddhist modernism[8] and Hindu reform movements, and the spread of those modernised versions in the west.[8] Along with H. S. Olcott and Anagarika Dharmapala, Blavatsky was instrumental in the Western transmission and revival ofTheravada Buddhism.[9][10][11]
