A bit of hidden Theosophical History
From the Akashic DVD series, Madame Blavatsky, the Unknown Years.
While it is well known that HPB had a long-running feud with the spiritualist A. O. Hume, relatively few know the roots of the feud.
It all began one afternoon when Madame Blavatsky was paying a visit to Mr. Hume. They were in the library on the second floor of his house and she sat in an antique chair near the door. Unfortunately the combination of the immense gravity of her person and the age of the chair combined to cause the chair to break under her, causing Madame Blavatsky to roll down the stairs, roll through the hall of the dwelling, roll out of the front door, down the stairs, in the process crushing to death the three ladies of the evening who were coming to give Mr. Hume his weekly massage therapy, and finally ending up-ended in an open manhole, her bloomered legs waving in the air, so shocking one of the local clergy that he ran around in circles screaming something unintelligble but people were used to him doing that and merely assumed that he was practicing his next Sunday's sermon.
And she was stuck there. In fact, she was so completely jammed into that manhole that two teams of draft horses could not dislodge her. Ultimately, in desparation, they borrowed a compressed air machine from Mr. Keely and managed to create such a high air pressure underground that Madame Blavatsky popped loose like a champagne cork, flew fifty feet into the air and came down the shrubbery outside of the local lodge building of the Mystic Knights Who Say Ni.
The two never forgave each other for that incident.

That is so disrespectful! HPB is no one to make fun of, and I am flabbergasted that a theosophist would be repeating it. Please let me in on your motive here. Please. I have the sickest sense of humor of anyone I know (besides my husband) and I don't get it. It is a funny story, yes, but that is OUR HPB that you're making fun of here. I love Monty Python! Help me out here, would ya'?

Akashik DVD can be preordered for US$50,000.00 per copy, tax deductible in the USA.
Due to various privacy and copyright issues (some theosophists are always looking to prevent unsavoury information coming out and try to use the copyright as a club), it will be delivered only after the individual leaves physical plane for good and awakes in the Astral Plane.
This is a fantastic offer fro anyone who has the change to spare. The DVD will keep the individual entertained till Bardo is finished.
Note: I make no commission or have any financial interest in the deal. Just trying to share the info.

No no no, we know it is true not only from the Akashic DVD, but also the testimony of the Grand Master of the Knights Who Say Ni when they sued HPB for ruining their shrubbery.

It is as untrue as the Akashic DVD is untrue!

But of course it is true. It is in the Akashic DVD collection and everyone knows that everything in the Akashic DVD collection is true.

[untrue of course - just adding that for those who may come across this post online and think this is really what happened.]
