Still trying to work that out myself. I'm wondering if it's some kind of staunch atheism? What could be more blasphemous than denying the existence of your creator, especially given the obvious world of creation you experience every day that proves it?
There are a two trains of thought on what it actually means. I'll explain the first one which is the way Charismatics believe. You can research online the Fundamentalists view.
Charismatics: When Jesus spoke of the blasphemy of the Holy Ghost he was talking to the Pharisees who had just accused him of working with the devil when he performed miracles. Jesus did these works/miracles through the Holy Ghost, so the Pharisees were blaspheming the Holy Ghost. Basically it's attributing the Holy Trinity's (God, Jesus, Holy Ghost) works to the devil.

Hope that helps.
Ahh interesting. That certainly makes sense especially given the context of the time and what he was dealing with on the ground
