Dear All,
Yes she was a victim. It was suggested to me that Pascal Beverly Randolph was involved. The H. B.of L. are certainly candidates, considering how she attacked them later.
The reason for the imprisonment was that she was deemed a loose cannon in releasing too much of the secret teachings. Remember the Brahmins were also concerned that she was revealing too much. (T.Subba Row had a row with her about this, if my memory serves me correctly.)
Never before in the modern world had so much been revealed to so many. At the point when the most interesting of all occult facts were to be
released, the curtain came down.

"Think of it in this way. - The occult knowledge was in her aura; as the
result of certain processes that were set in operation, it came about that
for a long time everything in this aura was thrown back into her soul. That
is to say, all the occult knowledge she possessed was to be imprisoned; she was to be isolated as far as the outer world and her occultism were
concerned."

Trancendental Universe, Harrison."There is a certain operation of ceremonial magic by means of which a wall of psychic influences may be built up around an individual who has become dangerous, which has the effect of paralyzing the higher activities and producing what is called the 'repercussion of effort', and the result is a kind of spiritual sleep characterized by fantastic visions. It is an
operation seldom resorted to even by Brothers of the Left, and in the case
of Madam Blavatsky was disapproved of by almost all European occultists."
Harrison"The reappearance of Madam Blavatsky has necessitated a total change of the policy of secrecy hitherto pursued. Whether for good or evil, she has made public an immense mass of information in regard to matters which, until quite recently, were never spoken of outside certain societies, but which is of a character as to commend itself on its own merits to persons from whatever source it may come."
