ARCHAIC HISTORY OF
THE HUMAN RACE:
As Recorded in the The Secret Doctrine
by H.P. Blavatsky |
|
| Gertrude W. van Pelt, M.D. |
| The aim of
this work, according to the author, is to place consecutively the revelations
of the Ancient Wisdom regarding man's life on this planet, which H.P. Blavatsky
courageously and with consummate skill brought to the Western world ...
to sift out from the many related facts which enrich this marvelous work
(THE SECRET DOCTRINE and the STANZAS OF DZYAN). References
to volume and page will enable those who wish to do so to verify or amplify
the subject from THE SECRET DOCTRINE.

| DESIGN AND PURPOSE:A Study In The Drama
Of Evolution |
|
| Henry T. Edge |
| This
study
seeks to answer universal questions from the realm of evolution. What is
evolution, according to Theosophy, and what is its purpose? Wherein has
science in general failed in this respect? is the Darwinian hypothesis
correct in the assumption that man evolved from the animals? What is the
distinction between body, soul, and spirit? What are objections to the
doctrine of the survival of the fittest? Did animals descend from Man?
What is the origin of Man? What can you say about the earlier races of
mankind? Will animals ever become men? What are manvantaras and pralayas?
How does the Weismann theory confirm Theosophy? How does Theosophy explain
the obvious existence of design in the universe? Who am I?

| ESOTERIC
MAN: The Aeons-long Journey |
|
| Helen Todd |
| This grand
evolutional picture
that Theosophy espouses presents in the first chapter basic Theosophic
Principles. It points to the fallacy of the so-called Ape Ancestry of Man
and shows how the Human Stock is the most primitive. Succeeding chapters
outline the Monad's Journey through the Kingdoms' the Doctrines of the
Sishtas; Lighting "the Fire of the Mind"' the Hierarchy of Compassion;
and final chapters offer a blueprint for the future.

| EVOLUTION:
Who And What Is Man? |
|
| Henry T. Edge |
| This clear,
logical, and dispassionate exposition presents the viewpoint of both science
and theology and shows how Theosophical teaching, which deals with the
and harmonizes facts, holds the missing key to an understanding of the
problem of evolution. Chapters explore the antiquity of Man, heredity and
evolution, the astral plane, atavism, involution and evolution. (see listing
under Theosophic Manuals.)

MAN AT
HOME IN THE UNIVERSE:
A Study Of The Great Evolutionary Cycle |
|
| Elsie Benjamin |
| The knotty
subject of "Rounds
and Races," "Globes," "Root-Races" and "Sub-Races" are forthrightly covered.
Seven general principles are considered: 1) As above, so below - the Law
of Analogy; 2) Everything in the Universe is septenary, whether Planets,
Globes, or Men; 3) Each Hierarchy repeats the same Divisions of 'Time,'
on different scales; 4) Everything from the Highest to the Lowest is evolving;
5) Evolution never proceeds in a straight line, Upward or Downward - there
are always periods of activity and periods of rest; 6) As regards the 'Houses'
the evolving Monads inhabit, it must be remembered that these, too, are
living, evolving beings; 7) Man is literally not only at home in the Universe,
but is an integral, indeed inescapable, part of it.

| MAN'S
DIVINE PARENTAGE AND DESTINY: The Great
Rounds And Races |
|
| G. W. van Pelt, M.D. |
Not
only
man but the Earth itself is alive-"a living being. It is born, lives, and
dies, only to be born again, after a period of rest - rest that is for
the informing spirit of the earth, its soul if you like." - from the book.
The Earth itself is a group of 7 globes, called a planetary chain.
We see only the globe we live on "because the other six are composed of
degrees of finer substance than our own, too rarefied for our present perception." (see
listing under Theosophic Manuals.)
