The Book of Dzyan

and commentary from the Secret Doctrine together with related texts and a new biographical essay.

“The Stanzas, therefore, give an abstract formula which can be applied, mutatis mutandis, to all evolution: to that of our tiny earth, to that of the chain of planets of which that earth forms one, to the solar Universe to which that chain belongs, and so on, in an ascending scale, till the mind reels and is exhausted in the effort.

“The seven Stanzas given in this volume represent the seven terms of this abstract formula. They refer to, and describe the seven great stages of the evolutionary process, which are spoken of in the Puranas as the “Seven Creations”, and in the Bible as the “Days´ of Creation.”

– Poem, The Secret Doctrine

Mme. Blavatsky´s famous transcribed messages from beyond, the mysterious “Book of Dyzan”, the heart of the sacred books of Kie-te, are said to have been known only to Tibetan mystics. Quotations from Dzyan form the core of her closely-argued “The Secret Doctrine”, the most influential single book of occult knowledge to emerge from the nineteenth century.

The text of the book you hold reproduces nearly all of “Book of Dzyan” that Blavatsky transcribed. It also includes long excerpts from her “Secret Doctrine” as well as from the Society of Psychical Research´s 1885 report concerning phenomena witnessed by members of the Theosophical Society. There are notes and additional shorter materials. Editor Tim Maroney´s biographical essay starts of the book, a fascinating portait of an amazing woman.

“The most insightful and balanced discussion of Blavatsky´s writings to date.”

– K. Paul Johnson, author of “The Masters Revealed”.
