Honestly, I never cared much about Lucius Trust to dig much more in to them. I know it's used as a workaround of sorts, but that's the extent of my memory from it. Yes, from the little that I've read about Blavatsky, there seems to be a great deal of overlap. I'll tell you something I probably shouldn't, since I'm rather intrigued with where this has gone: I try *not* to read most of these philosophers, or any books, really. Of course, this will only be temporary. I'm sort of waiting on some things to unfold at the moment. :) I broke down and read some Fichte, a little about Hegel and I began reading one of Schelling's books, but never finished. That shit was taxing to get through, man... I mean, I was, after all, reading a German to English translated metaphysics/philosophy book... so, can you really blame me? Now that I think about it, I think an older me would appreciate it a great deal more, though. Anyway, I don't have a huge amount of patience these days, so while I adore learning new things, I haven't actually read a book in a while. I'm starting to think my memory is just a bit better than what I always used to think. As much as I'd rather avoid disappointing you, considering how much I enjoy conversing with you, I think it's practical to just be honest here.
