Jesus[edit]
According to Blavatsky, Jesus was the grand "philosopher and moral reformer."[21] She considered Jesus as "The Great Teacher," an avatar with healing and demon-exorcising abilities. An American author Joseph H. Tyson stated, "She did not view him as The Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, but a Brahman Perfect Master" with clairvoyance, supernatural powers, and "fakir-like unconcern for the morrow."[22] In Blavatsky's opinion, "Jesus, the Christ-God, is a myth concocted two centuries after the real Hebrew Jesus died."[23] According to Theosophy, term "Christ" means the personal divinity "indwelling" each individual human.[24]
In December 1887 Blavatsky printed an open letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Primate of England. This editorial letter gave proof to show that "in almost every point the doctrines of the churches and the practices of Christians are in direct opposition to the teachings of Jesus."[25] She always opposed those who understood Jesus' teaching literally.[26][note 6] Her representation of Jesus as similar of Buddha "grated on Christian nerves."[28][note 7]
