Excerpt from The Secret Doctrine, Vol. 2: The Synthesis of Science, Religion, and Philosophy; Anthropogenesis, Section II
The reader can never be too often reminded that, as the abundant quotations from various old Scriptures prove, these teachings are as old as the world; and that the present work is a simple attempt to render, in modern language and in a phraseology with which the seien tihe and educated student is familiar, archaic Genesis and History as taught in certain Asiatic centers of esoteric learning. They must be accepted or rejected on their own merits, fully or partially; but not before they have been carefully compared with the corresponding theo logical dogmas and the modern scientific theories and speculations.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the hidden depths of the world's religions, uncovering a shared esoteric knowledge that has been passed down through the ages. The author argues that beneath the surface of various religious narratives lies a universal system of symbols and doctrines with roots in ancient wisdom traditions. By drawing upon a wide range of sources, including the Vedas, the Kabbalah, and Gnostic texts, the book explores the profound symbolism of concepts such as Adam and Eve, the Holy of Holies, and the Ark of the Covenant. It challenges conventional interpretations of these symbols, revealing their connections to esoteric teachings on cosmogony, the nature of divinity, and the mysteries of life and death. The book delves into the concept of the "Secret Doctrine," a universal system of knowledge that underlies all religions. It explores the significance of numbers, geometrical shapes, and celestial bodies in this esoteric system, demonstrating how they have been used throughout history to convey profound truths about the universe and humanity's place within it. Through a comparative analysis of Eastern and Western traditions, this book illuminates the interconnectedness of religious symbolism and its enduring relevance to understanding the human condition. By unveiling the hidden meanings behind ancient myths and rituals, it invites readers to embark on a journey of self-discovery and explore the timeless wisdom that lies at the heart of the world's spiritual heritage.
