Madame Blavatsky

When I pierced your eyes,
I knew you were not of this world.
Memory stirred—
I had met you before,
in Egypt,
among forgotten corridors of time.

You smiled,
and I whispered your name:
Helena Petrovna Blavatsky…
Your aura healed
before it touched my skin.

You kissed my right dimple
as we gazed upon the Sun.
“Focus,” you said,
“Ray Seven shall birth The Secret Doctrine,
a key to the seventh dimension.
Fragments only they will grasp—
but a golden age will come.”

Then softly you added:
“When you meet my soul sister Annie Besant
in England,
pass her this kiss I have given you.”

In the winter of 1916,
I met that Diamond Soul.
She kissed me gently,
then whispered no more:
“I have launched the All India Home Rule League—
and I am exhorted.”

That night, beneath the oil lamp’s glow,
they circled me in silence.
Blavatsky, Besant, and Olcott—
their hands upon my shoulders,
their eyes burning with forgotten fire.
No words, only a current
rushed through my blood,
a vow sealed in invisible flame.
I was initiated—
not as a man,
but as a keeper of the hidden path.

As I turned to leave,
Colonel Henry Steel Olcott
called me from the USA:
“We are forming a school
to study the knowledge of God.”

I stepped out of the room,
lost in that knowledge.
Now I stand in the Now—
wondering still
Am I human…
or God?

Chanda, it's only ' human ' to let thoughts drift away to another time and place. Makes moments interesting, indeed. You are so clever and creative. Congratulations on Poem of the Day. My best to you. :) Brandy

Thank you, Brandy—our drifting thoughts remind us that time is but a veil, and poetry lets us glimpse beyond it.

Thank you—sometimes a poem asks to be read twice, for truth often reveals itself in layers unseen at first glance.

Hmmm ~ renowned theosophists, all of them, great tribute, Chanda. Thought provoking ending ~ the clue being, if we disappear, the manifest universe disappears, standing beyond space time, what remains? Warmest congratulations on POTD

PS. Yes, her eyes are so clear. You’ve done her Justice with this poem, by peeling some layers. Is your 3D self currently in Zambia, if I could ask ? Blessings for your mission.

My dearest Ghairo, Yes, my 3D self is moving across continents, yet my soul is never bound by one place. Your words peel through the silence, and my heart can feel you—clear as light. If you wish, send me a private mail, and we shall speak beyond the veil of comments. Much love, much light, Chanda

Oh my goodness, Chanda ! To answer your ending question: You are both. And you are soo blessed to have Ms Blavatsky as Guide. I don’t remember you from Ancient Egypt- you could have been above me in the Hierarchy, but as you know the Priests & Priestesses were mostly separated. Glad I met you Now. Have a beautiful week, my friend.x

My heart can feel you across time, dear soul Ghairo. Love flows quietly between the lines we share. Perhaps Egypt kept us apart— but the Now has joined us, and in that, I rejoice.
