Synopsis
Excerpt from The Secret Doctrine, Vol. 3: The Synthesis of Science, Religion, and Philosophy
Power belongs to him who knows; this is a very old axiom, Knowledge - the first step to which is the power of comprehending the truth, of discerning the real from the false - is for those only who, having freed themselves from every prejudice and conquered their human conceit and selfishness, are ready to accept every and any truth, once it is demonstrated to them. Of such there are very few. The majority judge of a work according to the respective prejudices of its critics, who are guided in their turn by the popularity or unpopularity of the author, rather than by its own faults or merits. Outside the Theosophical circle, therefore, the present volume is certain to receive at the hands of the general public a still colder welcome than its two predecessors have met with. In our day no statement can hope for a fair trial, or even hearing, unless its arguments run on the line of legitimate and accepted enquiry, remaining strictly within the boun darics of official Science or orthodox Theology.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the profound depths of ancient wisdom traditions, exploring the esoteric and allegorical dimensions of various philosophical and religious texts. From the teachings of Plato and Pythagoras to the scriptures of the East and West, the author unveils a hidden layer of meaning that has been concealed for centuries. Drawing upon a vast array of sources, including the Kabbalah, the Zohar, and the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the author demonstrates the interconnectedness of these ancient systems of thought. The book argues that a single key of interpretation unlocks the secrets of these texts, revealing a universal wisdom that transcends cultural and religious boundaries. Through an examination of historical figures such as Ammonius Saccas, Apollonius of Tyana, and Buddha, the author sheds light on the role of initiates and adepts in preserving and transmitting this esoteric knowledge. The book explores the dangers and challenges associated with practical magic, as well as the ethical responsibilities of those who seek to access these hidden powers. Ultimately, this book challenges readers to question their assumptions about history, religion, and the nature of reality. It invites them to embark on a journey of intellectual and spiritual exploration, where the boundaries between the exoteric and the esoteric blur, and the ancient wisdom of the past illuminates the present.
