“Boxing Helena was something that I think was pretty cool, but people judged it without even having seen it. It’s not perfect, but I think for the story that we were trying to tell, it turned out pretty good. What it signified was really powerful to me: how society puts us in boxes one way or another.”

“My information (from my own Master) is that the broad general outline and scope of The Secret Doctrine was conveyed verbally to H. P. B. (Helena Petrovna Blavatsky) by the Masters K. H. and Morya, while the bulk, the esoteric lore, was given to her telepathically by D. K.. She herself gave the correspondences between the esoteric science and the exoteric science of her day. It was in fact a group work.”
