The Secret Doctrine, Vol. 1 of 2: The Synthesis of Science, Religion, and Philosophy (Forgotten Books)

Awsome book.Arrived sooner than I thought it would.

Great book on theosophy

The book is great, but this is not the best edition since this edition (published by Forgotten Books) is missing the index. I really wanted the index, and other editions have it. Also all the footnotes in this edition are at the end (which is not a big problem). This edition is "scanned and reformatted" so the page numbers are different from the original (which is not a big problem unless you are using the index from an original volume). .

Good book

Timeless classic for Theosophists, basic reference text. This is heavy reading. I purchased it for my fiance who read his original copy so much that it got worn - he passed it on to a friend. I do not recommend this book for people who do not have a strong interest in Theosophy.

Gift for friend

.HISTORY MAKES HISTORY FOR THE ONES BORN AGAIN TO KNOW ONLY..I HAVE NOT YET READ THE WHOLE BOOK FOR IT DEMANDS TIME READING WORDS.

It would be better to call this the "false doctrine". This book does not give us anything "new" instead it takes us back to paganism pure and unadulterated. There have always been pagan religions and philosophies. Most of the world's religions, through all of history, could be described as such so this is nothing new. If you would like to make the conscious decision to turn your back on Jesus Christ, salvation, and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit read this book. Is there a road to Hell? If there is it is paved with books like this. Also do not be fooled, this book, and many others like it use "religious" references. They say things and make conclusions based on things and ideas that they say are based on or founded in religious traditions but the conclusions they make are the fulfillment of this pagan propaganda, not the spirit of Christ. However if you take Oprah more seriously than scripture and would like to push God out of your life completely, then this is the book for you. It will remove all the faith in God you have, and will possibly eliminate the presence of the Holy Spirit from your being as well(if that is possible), and it will do it in such a subtle way that you won't even feel it. Read this book, it is the path to eternal death.

I really like this book but probably not for a casual reader. I would suggest getting familiar with occult teachings in general before tackling this book although i would imagine that most people would take something positive from it regardless.
