This article is mentioned several times in the [[Mahatma Letters|Letters]]. There are indications that he was inspired to write much of it. However, he was a strange  character, who took up Eastern ways of dress and dabbled in black magic until his health was ruined. He came to the [[Adyar Headquarters|Headquarters]] of the [[Theosophical Society|TS]] at one time and [[Henry Steel Olcott|HSO]] tried to help him with [[Mesmerism|mesmeric healing]], but in the end he could not be helped and died insane in 1884 or 1885.
