Civilisation Art and Beauty by Wayne Gatfield

One of my favourite articles by HP Blavatsky is “Civilisation the death of Art and Beauty.” The only part of it that I wasn’t keen on was the word ‘death’ which I thought was a little pessimistic! In this article she bemoans the fact that countries like Japan, who have strong Spiritual traditions, began to
