Abridgment of H.P. Blavatsky's Secret Doctrine

""An Abridgment of H.P. Blavatsky's Secret Doctrine"" is a condensed version of the original work by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, a Russian philosopher and author who founded the Theosophical Society in 1875. The book, written by Katharine Hillard, aims to make the complex and esoteric teachings of Blavatsky more accessible to a wider audience. The Secret Doctrine is considered one of the most influential works in the field of esotericism, and it explores the origins and nature of the universe, the evolution of humanity, and the spiritual path to enlightenment. Hillard's abridgment includes key concepts and ideas from the original work, as well as helpful explanations and commentary to aid in understanding. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in theosophy, spirituality, and the mysteries of the universe.A Synthesis of Science, Religion and Philosophy. Dedicated to HPB, Teacher and Friend. �������The Editor of this abridgement has long felt the need of a shorter, simpler version of the Secret Doctrine. The wealth of material gave rise to endless digressions wherein the thread of the subject is often lost for whole chapters. Fifteen years' study has enabled the Editor to trace the thread of the argument far more clearly than at first, and have cut out obsolete science. All Sanskrit terms have been put into English, and the triune constitution of man (body, soul and spirit) adopted wherever possible instead of the more complicated seven-fold division. There has been nothing added to the text, except a few notes and 1 or 2 diagrams, all marked �������Ed.������� Part 1 Cosmogenesis; Part 2 Anthropogenesis.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
