Occultists believe there is an underlying truth to the world that is mysteriously hidden to most of us. In her writings, H. P. Blavatsky mentions four great occultists, or seekers: Éliphas Lévi, Paracelsus, Jakob Böhme, and Franz Anton Mesmer.

Lévi’s idea of the Kabbalah and the notion of the all-pervading Astral Light can be found in Blavatsky’s Isis Unveiled as well as in The Secret Doctrine. She saw in Paracelsus the most wondrous intellect and original thinking of the 16th century. She considered Böhme, born 34 years after Paracelsus’ death, a great mystic philosopher and a prominent Theosophist. According to Blavatsky, Mesmer was chosen by the Council of the Brotherhood of Luxor to act in the 18th century as their pioneer.

In this four-part class, you will learn about these four great souls and explore their contributions to humanity, and how their knowledge was disseminated over the years, including how each of their contributions came to appear in The Secret Doctrine.
