The Secret Doctrine

This follows the framework established by Helena Blavatsky in The Secret Doctrine.

Her major works, Isis Unveiled and The Secret Doctrine, introduced Western audiences to Eastern concepts such as karma, reincarnation, and spiritual evolution.

Her most significant work, The Secret Doctrine (1888), presented a comprehensive cosmological system involving seven root races, cycles of evolution, and the hidden history of humanity, including references to Atlantis and Lemuria.

She completed The Secret Doctrine in Würzburg and Ostend before moving to London in 1887, where she founded the Blavatsky Lodge.

1. A Caravan of merchantmen were journeying through the Kashmar vale as Jesus passed that way, and they are going to Lahore, a city of the Hand, the five-stream land.2. The merchantmen had heard the prophet speak, had seen his mighty works in Leh, and they were glad to see him once again.3. And when they knew that he was going to Lahore and then across the Sind, through Persia and the farther West, and that he had no beast on which to ride,4. They freely gave to him a noble bactrian beast, well saddled and equipped, and Jesus journeyed with the caravan.5. And when he reached Lahore, Ajainin and some other Brahmic priests, received him with delight.6. Ajainin was the priest who came to Jesus in the night time in Benares many months before, and heard he words of truth.7. And Jesus was Ajainin's guest; he taught Ajainin many things; revealed to him the secrets of the healing art.8. He taught him how he could control the spirits of the air, the fire, the water and the earth; and he explained to him the secret doctrine of forgiveness, and the blotting out of sins.9. One day Ajainin sat with Jesus in the temple porch; a band of wandering singers and musicians paused before the court to sing and play.10. Their music was most rich and delicate, and Jesus said, Among the high-breed people of the land we hear no sweeter music than that these uncouth children of the wilderness bring here to us.11. From whence this talent and this power?

Jesus unfolds to them the secret doctrine.

The Secret Doctrine narrates it as follows:

Work: The Secret Doctrine (1888), written in English by Russian occultist Helena Blavatsky but drawing heavily on her native Russian mystical traditions and translated into French (La Doctrine Secrète), German (Die Geheimlehre), and Russian (Тайная Доктрина).

Helena Blavatsky’s The Secret Doctrine describes the arrival of beings from a more advanced planetary chain during the third root race, the Lemurian.

THE statement in The Secret Doctrine that the fifth Root Race began one million years ago appears, as already stated, to refer to the beginning of the choosing of materials by the Lord Vaivasvata, the Race Manu.

This accords also with the secret doctrine.

This refers to the human beings of the secret doctrine who only arose later and who were endowed with reason.

Blavatsky’s The Secret Doctrine volume II pushes the same Manu figure further into her Root-Race scheme:

That scheme sits at the center of The Secret Doctrine (1888), especially Volume II on anthropogenesis.

The Secret Doctrine is the main root-race exposition.

Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, in The Secret Doctrine Volume II, ties the fourth race to a Northern Lemurian nucleus in the mid-Atlantic:

Detail is thin in The Secret Doctrine.

Seven successive stages of human evolution in The Secret Doctrine, physical and spiritual together, each tied to shifting continents and each with seven sub-races.

Blavatsky develops them from a nucleus of Northern Lemurian third-race men centered toward mid-Atlantic land (The Secret Doctrine Vol.
