- a cornerstone of any real esoteric library
- quite simply one of the greatest books in modern occult history. It's not something one can just sit down and breeze thru... you will read and re-read it over a lifetime, and will get something more from it with every page turned.
It is one of my most prized book possessions - three years ago we were evacuated from our neighborhood due to flood conditions - and I took these two volumes with me on the way out the door! - 2007-08-24, 1 of 2 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- This is only the Index
- Be certain that you realize what you are purchasing when you buy this item. This is NOT "The Secret Doctrine"; it is only the INDEX for those volumes. The other reviews had led me to believe this was "The Secret Doctrine" itself; but it is not. You must already have volumes 1 and/or 2 of "The Secret Doctrine" for this index to be of any use.

- propaganda
- Has Icke pointed out, H.P.B. was probably an agent of British Inteligence. Remember that one of the ultimate goals of the New World Order is the creation of a One World Religion.
Keep in mind that this book was Adolf Hitler "bible" and this fact alone should make u think.
This book is a very clever piece of propaganda posing as a inocent(there is nothing inocent in this book) "Spiritual Search for the Truth".

- there she go; here we are!
- These volumes are a great testament in spiritual literature. They expound on the mysteries of the universe and man--their nature and evolution. All this gives rise to explaining how spiritual laws function. She says in the preface that the truths contained in the volumes are the essence of all world religions; her job being one of rescuing these truths from "degradation." Blavatsky was an early leader of the theosophist movement. In this work, she goes stanza by stanza using the "occult" (spiritual) teachings of the book of Dzyan. Of course, what makes these volumes come to life is her commentaries. As one current spiritual writer has already noted, she was a prophet of the current trend toward the emerging spirituality which is lighting up our planet. Well-travelled and well-connected with diversity, Blavatsky identifies the basic tenet of spiritual literature: we are all one! This is definitely for the intrepid. Anyway, go HB!

- Exhaustive, penetrating, and wholly satisfying!
- Not suggested for anyone with a short attention span. This is a massive accomplishment bringing the A to Z of occultism under one literary umbrella. An astonishing find.
