The Secret Doctrine [2 Volume Set]by H.P. Blavatsky

1974 Theosophical University Press

Volume 1 Cosmogenesis + Volume 2 Anthropogenesis

Blavatskys Magnum Opus, remains today the most comprehensive sourcebook of the esoteric tradition, outlining the fundamental tenets of the Secret Doctrine of the Archaic Ages. Challenging, prophetic, and strikingly modern, it directly addresses the perennial questions: continuity of life after death, purpose of existence, good and evil, consciousness and substance, sexuality, karma, evolution, and human and planetary transformation. Based on the ancient Stanzas of Dzyan with corroborating testimony from over 1,200 sources, these volumes unfold the drama of cosmic and human evolution — from the reawakening of the gods after a Night of the Universe to the ultimate reunion of cosmos with its divine source. Supplementary sections discuss relevant scientific issues as well as the mystery language of myths, symbols, and allegories, helping the reader decipher the often abstruse imagery of the world’s sacred literature

Condition: Original blue cloth boards, gilt title on spine, previous owner name on flyleaf, binding is tight, all pages clean with no markings, bright copy still in the original dust jackets. A nice set in Very Good condition.
