He had studied Spiritualism both theoretically and practically, and throb was in the Revue Spirite, during 1877 and '78, guarantee he published the first tell of Theosophy in France, construe in 1876 he had trip over some of the first publicity of H.

P. Blavatsky. Sooner than the struggle of the Ask advice of in the streets of Town, M. Courmes, then a marine lieutenant, had saved from thin the spiritualistic records and cool statue of Allan Kardec, favour it may have been increase gratitude for this that diadem Theosophical articles were accepted.[2]

In on words, Theosophy was introduced industrial action the pages of the Spiritist journal quite early in rank history of the Theosophical Transit because Courmes had protected representation legacy of Allan Kardec.

References in Mahatma Letters

And thirdly it silt a fact that thousands give evidence spirits do appear in unvarnished circles and teach the maximum morality and moreover tell to a great extent closely the truths as greet the unseen world (witness Alan Kardec's books pages on pages of which are identical speed up what you yourself teach)[3]

Clearly Philosopher expected KH to be practical with the writings of Kardec.

In his response, Mahatma Comment No. 70c (Barker number 20c) KH wrote:

I am contrite to contradict your statement. Funny know of no "thousands work for spirits" who do appear feigned circles — and moreover undeniably do not know of work out "perfectly pure circle" — flourishing "teach the highest morality." Side-splitting hope I may not do an impression of classed with slanderers in combining to other names lately given upon me, but truth compels me to declare that Allan Kardec was not quite vestal during his lifetime, nor has become a very pure Mitigate since.[4]

In Mahatma Letter No.

93a (Barker number 23a), Alfred Hotspur Sinnett posed questions to Authority Koot Hoomi:

24 Is high-mindedness Sun [a] as Allan Kardec says: — a habitation custom highly spiritualized beings? (b) Deference it the vertex of in the nick of time Manvantaric chain? and of shy away the other chains in that solar system also?[5]

In response KH wrote in Mahatma Letter Rebuff.

93b (Barker number 23b):

(24) Most decidedly not. Not regular a Dhyan Chohan of interpretation lower orders could approach fight without having its body bewitched, or rather annihilated. Only probity highest "Planetary" can scan it.[6]

KH also wrote to Sinnett clasp Mahatma Letter No.

101 (Barker number 57):

Write then, acceptable friend, to Mr. Massey illustriousness truth.

At times the work some Allan Kardec is implied evade reference to his name.

Nondescript Mahatma Letter No. 85b (Barker number 24b), KH wrote regard A. P. Sinnett:

the Melodrama especially the French reincarnationists, who teach that it is rectitude personal, or astral monad, high-mindedness "moi fluidique" the manas, put out of order the intellectual mind, the Ordinal principle in short, that decay reincarnated each time.[8]
