Fernand Schwarz, anthropologist and philosopher, founder of New Acropolis in France, gave a lecture on Madame Blavatsky to many attendees at New Acropolis Paris 5.

‘Keep the union!’ : these last words of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky could sum up her life. A humanist philosopher and advocate of fraternity before her time, this lover of wisdom devoted her whole life to bringing peoples and spiritual traditions closer together. Born in the 19th century, she travelled the world trying to demonstrate the fundamental unity of humanity as one family. For her, this quest for unity is linked to the very origin of the universe, because everything comes from the same cause and everything aspires to return to it.
