Helena Blavatsky (1831-1891), with her "Theosophic Society," is considered the mother of New Age Socialism and modern occult socialism. Bailey (1880-1949, née Alice LaTrobe Bateman) left Blavatsky's group and founded her own "Arcane School," wherein the term "New Age" itself originated. more »

As a counterpoint to Blavatsky and Roerich’s presentations of Shambhala as a benevolent land that will help establish world peace, alternative versions emphasized the apocalyptic aspect of the legend. They associated Shambhala primarily with the destructive forces of regeneration that will do away with old outmoded ways of thinking and will establish a new world order of peace. Thus, the destructive force of Shambhala is ultimately benevolent. These versions ... had their roots in Theosophy.

Helena was an exceptional child, and at an early age was aware of being different from those around her. Her possession of certain psychic powers puzzled her family and friends. At once impatient of all authority, yet deeply sensitive, she was gifted in many ways. A clever linguist, a talented pianist and a fine artist, she was yet a fearless rider of half-broken horses, and always in close touch with nature. At a very early age she sensed that she was in some way dedicated to a life of service, and was aware of a special guidance and protection.

In der Esoterikforschung gilt als die Hauptquelle aller Esoterik und als Vorläufer der modernen "New Age"-Bewegung die Theosophie (wörtlich "Weisheit Gottes") der teils deutschstämmigen Ukrainerin Helena Blavatsky (1831-1891). Die Theosophie hat auch den Ausdruck "New Age" erst geprägt, das sie Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts im aufziehenden Nationalsozialismus erblickte. Blavatsky beruft sich mit ihrem vierbändigen Hauptwerk Die Geheimlehre auf ein ihr historisch erstmals offenbartes und telepathisch (aus Tibet) übermitteltes "Urwissen der Menschheit" bzw. "Die Urreligion", das vermeintlich Gemeinsame aller Glaubensrichtungen.

Blavatsky's work had an enormous impact on various esoteric organizations, mainly those which were established in the beginning of the 20th century. For instance, many of Blavatsky's concepts were incorporated into the teachings of Alice Baily (1880-1949), and it is generally known that Baily's teachings have had a huge influence over the beliefs of the New Age movement of today.
