Here is a small work surveying some of the main teachings:

Helena was a devotee of satan, Lucifer. Read her works more deeply and she’s actually admitted it.

Wrong. She denied that Satan even exists.

HPB was a devotee of altruism & goodness for humanity. Does this quote below sound like a devotee of evil?


Quote:
Many who have never heard of the Society are Theosophists without knowing it them selves; for the essence of Theosophy is the perfect harmonizing of the divine with the human in man, the adjustment of his god-like qualities and aspirations. and their sway over the terrestrial or animal passions in him. Kindness, absence of every ill feeling or selfishness, charity, good-will to all beings, and perfect justice to others as to one’s self, are its chief features.

Who exactly are you referring to? Wise Men are dwelling in inner Earth. They come out and manifest themselves to selected humanity, as need arises. If that's who you ask about.

I meant just a group of like minded people, that's all. Maybe they have an agenda free group in my area. Of course, I have no idea what they are about.

A.E. or George W. Russell was a theosophist. Here is a little from his mystic work Candle of Vision:

Quote:
I think of earth as the floor of a cathedral where altar and Presence are
everywhere. This reverence came to me as a boy listening to the voice of
birds one coloured evening in summer, when suddenly birds and trees
and grass and tinted air and myself seemed but one mood or
companionship, and I felt a certitude that the same spirit was in all.
A little breaking of the barriers and being would mingle with being.

Whitman writes of the earth that it is rude and incomprehensible at first.
"But I swear to you," he cries, "that there are divine things well hidden."
Yet they are not so concealed that the lover [of Earth] may not discover them...

I don’t think your opinion on this matter can be trusted.

Considering the fact that I have read & studied Blavatsky for about 50 years and you have only your church's understanding of Satan/Lucifer, I can see why you do not trust my understanding.

So be it, friend.
