Editing Adept (section)

===H. P. Blavatsky===
[[Madame Blavatsky]] makes liberal use of the term ''adept'' in her works{{sfnp|Leadbeater|1978|p=12}} to refer to their additional function as caretaker of ancient occult knowledge. She also mentions their great compassionate desire to help humanity and also documents other powers of the adept such as being able to take active control of elemental spirits as well as the physical and [[Astral Projection|astral]] conditions of non-adepts.{{sfnp|Blavatsky|1998|loc=Vol II, pp. 588–590}}
