Some bad news as a result of the LA fire:
"It has been compared to the Library of Alexandria in Egypt; the world-renowned Theosophical Society, founded in 1875 by Madame Helena Blavatsky and Henry Steele Olcott, was an international and historical landmark in Altadena, California near Pasadena, treasured by millions and 'was dedicated to the uplifting of humanity through a better understanding of the oneness of life.'
"Sadly, on January 9th, reports from fire officials battling the raging Eaton Fire that consumed Altadena and the surrounding areas, advised that the world-renowned, historical landmark had been destroyed by the wildfires , and with it, all its ancient literature of published and unpublished works.
"With the tragic loss of the structure, thousands upon thousands of published papers, books, rare scriptures, unpublished letters, art objects, and preserved works by past philosophers and theologians were burned: all that remained were the charred remains of the building and scorched reminders of the international Society’s historical work scattered miles away from its home."
