The Higher Secret Doctrine

By Arthur Edward Waite

Book Overview

The Higher Secret Doctrine is a book authored by Arthur Edward Waite, which delves into esoteric knowledge and theosophical teachings. The book is a comprehensive exploration of spiritual concepts, drawing from various sources including Eastern and Western philosophy, occultism, and mysticism. It is a follow-up to Helena Blavatsky's The Secret Doctrine, which Waite believed required further elaboration and clarification. The Higher Secret Doctrine is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of theosophical principles, exploring topics such as the nature of the divine, the evolution of the universe, and the role of humanity in the cosmic scheme. The second part delves into the symbolism and allegory of various spiritual traditions, including Christianity, Hinduism, and Kabbalah. The third part is a detailed analysis of The Secret Doctrine, with Waite offering his own interpretation and commentary on Blavatsky's work. The book is written in a scholarly and erudite style, with Waite drawing on his extensive knowledge of esoteric literature and philosophy. It is a challenging read, requiring a certain level of familiarity with theosophical concepts and terminology. However, for those interested in delving deeper into the mysteries of the universe and the spiritual realm, The Higher Secret Doctrine is a valuable resource and a fascinating exploration of esoteric knowledge.THIS 72 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Holy Kabbalah, by Arthur Edward Waite.
