The famous theosophist leader H.P. Blavatsky (1831-1891) claimed to be in contact with the Adepts, the mysterious Tibetan prophets and seers whose teachings inspired the early Theosophical movement. Whether they were real masters or inspired metaphors that Mme. Blavatsky created is a question that has never been satisfactorily settled, and these original papers are part of the continuing controversy.
