I studied this fascinating woman
Helena Blavatsky
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helena_Blavatsky
Her premise was how could she write on how a man thinks, without being one. So she hit the high seas as a man for 12 years and found Theosophy, which I also took a course in in 78’

Thought this may suit your forum well -g-
Blavatsky was a con artist, which of course makes her interesting right there. :’) People interested in Edgar Cayce might find some, uh, similar ideas in Blavatsky (Cayce in his alleged trances repeated some of Blavatsky’s stuff).
