Theosophy and the Secret Doctrine Condensed The Races of Mankind

Theosophy & The Secret Doctrine, by Harriet Henderson. The word Theosophy is a combination of two Greek terms, theos (God) & Sophia (Wisdom), meaning the Wisdom of God, or Divine Wisdom. It was around long before Madam Blavatsky & Colonel Alcott started the Theosophical Society in 1875, but the society was an attempt to put this idea into action. The Secret Doctrine was a Blavatsky book that became the defining work for Theosophy & the Society, written as a large two volume set. Henderson has taken that work & condensed it into this smaller & more understandable form. The book also includes H. P. Blavatsky: An Outline of Her Life by Herbert Whyte. Blavatsky was a legendary woman with great psychic abilities & one of the sharpest minds of her time. The Society reminds the world's religions that they originate from one Divine Being. Religions tend to separate themselves from each other, often stating that they hold a monopoly on truth represent the only path to God. This has created strife, suffering & warfare throughout the centuries. Yet most religions are positive, in a spiritual sense. That is what Theosophy focuses on. The purpose of this book is to provide a clear overview of Theosophy's goals & to display the life of its colorful & vibrant founder.Henderson, Harriet L. is the author of 'Theosophy and the Secret Doctrine Condensed The Races of Mankind', published 2000 under ISBN 9781585090754 and ISBN 1585090751.
