Per Steiner's reading (GA 167 1916-03-28; GA 254 1915-10-11): Blavatsky's Russian "etheric body" made her "particularly suited" for the Theosophy mission; she became the operational vehicle for an Eastern-adept program to inoculate the West against Anglo-American materialism via Theosophy (GA 262 1907-09-07).
