The controversial Russian noblewoman Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky told the world that the book restored humanity's lost history and destiny. Its insights, she said, had been gleaned from long-secret books of wisdom and her tutelage under mahatmas, or great souls: adepts from the East who exposed the seeker to their esoteric teaching. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo read \u003ci\u003eThe Secret Doctrine \u003c\/i\u003eis to enter a mysterious world of ancient cosmology and spiritual-scientific insights, which tell of humanity's unthinkably ancient past and its burgeoning evolution into a new, more refined existence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor the first time, Blavatsky's \u003ci\u003eencyclopedia arcana \u003c\/i\u003eis available in a reset and redesigned single-volume edition, complete and unabridged.

The world-traveled Russian noblewoman founded the Theosophical Society in New York City in 1875 to study the esoteric ideas behind the world's religions. She relocated to India in 1878, where she and her collaborator, Colonel Henry Steel Olcott, a retired Civil War officer, helped inaugurate India's independence movement. Blavatsky moved to London in 1885, where she began writing her magnum opus, \u003ci\u003e The Secret Doctrine\u003c\/i\u003e--a vast, two-volume compendium of occult philosophy and a cosmological vision of humanity's lost history and secret destiny. Published in 1888, \u003ci\u003eThe Secret Doctrine\u003c\/i\u003e became a formative influence on avant-garde artists and intellectuals, and propelled the dawning occult revival and alternative spiritual culture. Blavatksy died two years after its publication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1296\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.1 x 9.1 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 25, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44819607191654,"sku":"9780143110156","price":45.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/Vm5xUWUzSUtNZ0JScXJKejJFQ1RHdz09.webp?v=1771934136","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/the-secret-doctrine-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
