Part 1. Lucid glimpses of the fathomless Mysteries of Zoroaster. By Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, Co-founder of the Theosophical Society. Zoroaster is a generic title: there were several prophets of that name; and so is Thoth-Hermes. There were several Zarathushtras or Zertusts, the Dabistan alone enumerating thirteen; but these were all reincarnations of the first one. It was on the new continent of Atlantis that Zarathushtra became the law-giver and ruler of the Fourth Race. Zoroaster was the founder of Magian religion and reformer of Magic, as practiced by the Chaldeans and the old Egyptians, however, not the founder of Divine Magic or Theurgy. The last Zarathushtra, of the Desatir, compiled the Vendidad. The prehistoric Zoroastrian Gheber Temple of Baku was a study centre for generations of Zoroastrian hermits, overseen by a High Mobed. The Zoroastrians, the Mazdeans, and the Persians borrowed their conceptions from India; the Jews borrowed their theory of angels from Persia; and the Christians borrowed theirs from the Jews. The earliest Zoroastrians did not believe in evil, or darkness, being co-eternal with Good or Light. The Hebrew Elohim are Forces and Generative Powers of Nature, but are involved in material creation only; they are identical with the Aryan Asuras. The Zoroastrian Amshaspends create the world in six “days” or periods, and rest on the seventh; the latter is the first period or “day,” i.e., the Primary Creation in the Aryan Cosmogony. Zoroaster, the renowned Sage of remote Antiquity, is transformed by Christian bigots into a “slave of Daniel;” and by one Christian writer, as contemporary of Darius Hystaspes. The doctrines of the Desatir are identical with those of the Secret Doctrine and the Greek Philosophers. With select Gems from the Book of Prophet Jemshid. Part 2. Spiritual insights into the Universal Wisdom-Religion of Zoroaster. By Professor Alexander Wilder, M.D., Vice-President of the Theosophical Society.

Part 1. Madame Blavatsky on the empyrean philosophical exhortations of Zoroaster. Zoroaster is a generic title; and so is self-created Thoth-Hermes. There were several prophets of those names. Zoroaster was the founder of Magian religion and reformer of Magic, as practiced by the Chaldeans and the old Egyptians, but not the founder of Divine Magic or Theurgy. Apuleius asserts that Zoroaster instructed Pythagoras. Socrates saluted the rising sun, as does a true Parsi or a Zoroastrian today. Solus-Sol-Sun is “The One” and “The Most High” (Helios). But there is a great difference between our sun and its prototype — the Central Spiritual Sun. The Zoroastrian Esotericism is identical with the Occultism of Theosophy, and the Universal Secret Doctrine. Kalahamsa, the “Swan of Time,” is coequal with the Zoroastrian “I am that I am.” The Chaldean Divine Dynasties appear in succession over a cycle of 432,000 years. Part 2. The Chaldaean Oracles of Zoroaster. (A) Emanations of the Unknowable Causeless Cause of Spirit and Matter. (B) Ideas, Ideals, Ideation. (C) One Universal Soul, periodical souls, and those chained to bodies. (D) Matter is the shadow of Light and vehicle of Life. Matter manifests the finest spiritual ideations only to the pure in heart. (E) Rules of conduct for would-be disciples.

The trinity of man is the master key to the wonders of nature. The sorcerer is society’s deadliest enemy. All those who have a voice in the education of the masses should first know, and then teach, that the safest guides to human happiness and enlightenment are those writings on genuine science and theology that descended to us from the remotest antiquity. The world needs neither churches nor temples. The real Temple of God is within every man, walled-in by the impenetrable jungle of matter. Only the pure in heart see God and obey the behests of the Spirit of Truth. The trinity of nature is the lock of magic, and the trinity of man is the master key to the wonders of nature. But the spirit must hold in complete subjection the combativeness of educated reason, until cold sophistry is vanquished beyond the skewed reality. Magic cannot be mastered by the white-skinned people for they are unfit physically, morally, and psychologically. Inflamed by dogmatic superstition, and the self-aggrandising sense of cultural superiority and national destiny over those whom the Anglo-Saxons term so contemptuously niggers, the white European would hardly submit himself to the practical tuition of Copt, Brahman, or Lama. Book learning of magic formulæ, unlit by spiritual intuition and bereft of higher mental faculties, is not only utterly useless but also fraught with unspeakable dangers for those who dabble in occult practices while their animal passions are rampant. Spiritualism is neither science, nor religion, nor philosophy. Is the boa constrictor of error resulting in spiritual ruin. Ignoring the teachings of the past, modern spiritualists have discovered no substitute. A thousand mortifying rebuffs have failed to open up their higher faculties above reason and sense. Bewildered by the contradictions they encounter, they keep waiting for their tentative hypotheses to be verified by further experience. Modern spiritualists are unconscious necromancers. They are disinclined to admit the axiomatic truths of Ancient Spiritualism (i.e. Eastern Occult Sciences), now so derided by crass materialism. They start with the fallacy that all phenomena are caused by the action of departed human spirits; they have not looked into the powers of the Protean power of spirit; and they do not know the extent to which spirit acts, how far it reaches, what it underlies. Christian theology is subversive of, rather than promotive of, spirituality and morality. Instead of expounding the rules of divine law and justice, it teaches but itself. Modern science, powerless to satisfy the aspirations of the race, makes the future shallow and meaningless and, by feeding on the putrescence of matter, it bereaves man of hope. Every religious faith is an offshoot from One Tree, the Archaic Wisdom-Religion. Combined, their aggregate represents One Eternal Truth; separate, they are but shades of human error and signs of imperfection. The world’s religions sprung from pre-Vedic Brahmanism and Buddhism. Judaism, Christianity, and Islamism, were inspired by Paganism, i.e., Ancient Wisdom, replete with Deity.

Part 1. Madame Blavatsky provides space to the protestations of Mr. H.T. Patterson, F.T.S. The Esoteric Section is the outer form of an Inner School. It has no official or corporate connection with the Theosophical Society. Thus the qualification “of the T.S.” should be dropped altogether, and the Section referred to as “The Esoteric School of Theosophy”. Part 2. Mrs. Besant protests against the petty criticisms levelled against Madame Blavatsky. Part 3. The protestations of Mr. H.T. Patterson, annotated by Madame Blavatsky. Do not forget, even for an instant, who you really are. You must lead, not force, people toward the Spirit of Truth, and do so with all tenderness, all gentleness, all patience, all sweetness. Part 4. Freedom from the wax of prejudice, ignorance, and the slavery of dogma, by William Quan Judge.

Part 1. Introductory and historical notes on the trans-Himalayan Adepts, and other prominent contributors, involved in the literary production of “Isis Unveiled.” Isis is Divine Wisdom beheld by the pure in heart, and symbol of abstract Mother-Nature personified as Virgin; and so is the Rosicrucian Rose, anagram of the Orphic Eros. “Isis Unveiled” is the most influential book of modern times, and a revolutionary act of brotherly love and sympathy with every creature, including the gnat that dances in the rays of the sun. In the summer of 1875, Madame Blavatsky began sketching out a plan for unveiling Isis, the Lunar Goddess. The awesome task of revealing the secrets of Nature began in a small flat, in a modest district of New York, directed and overseen by Masters of Eastern Occultism. “Isis Unveiled” was a collaborative production between Mme. Blavatsky and several Adepts of the trans-Himalayan Arhat Esoteric School. An Adept can transfer part of his consciousness to a disciple-messenger or mediator, in order for the latter to carry out a task upon the former’s behest in the outer world, or to teach. The Tibetan term for this delegated authority is Tulku, whereby the messenger is doing his Master’s bidding by mutual consent. While the medium of the séances is a hapless and helpless instrument of erratic and vagrant astral forces, the mediator in Tulku is a willing intermediary between the Brotherhood of trans-Himalayan Adepts and humanity at large. Such a mediator may be also called a transmitter, as was the case with Mme. Blavatsky. In the course of Col. Olcott’s training, Mme. Blavatsky assigned topics to write about, and suggesting the salient points that should be brought in. But she could hardly conceal her exasperation at Olcott’s often jumbled and confused ideas, and expressed her frustration in no uncertain terms. When receiving mental dictation, Mme. Blavatsky’s pen would be flying over the page, when she would suddenly stop, look out into space with the vacant eye of the clairvoyant seer (as though looking at something held before her), and then copying what she saw. Thus Mme. Blavatsky, led by the Celestial Light of Lakshmi, kept gazing at the grandest repository of all ages hidden in the fathomless realms of Occultism. Someone comes and envelops me as a misty cloud, pushes me out of myself, and then I am not Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, but someone else — someone strong and powerful, born in a totally different region of the world; and, as to myself, it is almost as if I were asleep, or lying by not quite conscious, not in my own body but close by, held only by a thread which ties me to it. He who knows all, my Master, dictates to me and, occasionally, others whom I knew years ago in my travels. When writing upon a subject I know little or nothing of, I address myself to Them, and one of Them allows me to write down what I see in manuscripts, and even printed matter that pass before my eyes in the air. Madame Blavatsky was living in two parallel worlds, the spiritual and the natural. She began unveiling “Isis” upon her return from ten years’ travelling in the Caucasus and other remote lands shimmering with snow, where her occult faculties and powers to heal were heightened, widely admired, and gratefully appreciated by those who were fortunate enough to have met her. The editorial board of “Isis” consisted of several Adepts and Initiates, inwardly of one mind as to the timing of lifting Her mysterious veil and unfurling it from East to West. Outwardly, however, they were all of dissimilar idiosyncrasies, mental characteristics, predilections, and peculiarities of temper, directing their thoughts to a living writing machine — H.P. Blavatsky. Col. H.S. Olcott recollects some of the personalities of the editorial board: — One, when deeply pondering, was constantly pulling at his long moustache, twisted into his side whiskers; another, of a fine artistic talent and a passion for mechanical invention, disliked English so much that only talked to me in French. — One, would reel off to me poetical stanzas embodying sublime ideas alternating with humorous mode; another, was jovial, fond of good stories, and witty to a degree. — One, was all dignity, reserve, and erudition; another, calm, patient, and helpful. — One, was testy and sometimes exasperating; another, always willing to emphasise his philosophical or scientific explanation of the subjects I was to write upon, by doing phenomena for my edification; while to another, I dared not even mention them. — At one time, a huffy Adept rebuked thrifty Olcott over a pencil! Despite the diverse Occult Agencies involved in the production of “Isis Unveiled” there was a clear sense of individuality and deep conviction running throughout it and Mme. Blavatsky’s other works — something special and unique to herself. There were times when Mme. Blavatsky was neither “controlled,” nor dictated to by any superior intelligence, but was simply H.P.B., our beloved friend and teacher, who was trying as well as she could to carry out the noble object of her literary mission. As daylight passing through the cathedral’s windows becomes coloured to the tints of the stained glass, so the thoughts transmitted by the Masters to Mme. Blavatsky’s brain were coloured by her own literary style. Still, though her modes of expression may have been somewhat different, the innermost train of thought was the same. While the principal contributors to the production of “Isis Unveiled” were enlightened living men, of great learning and wisdom, they were joined by at least one disincarnate yet earth-bound entity — Sir Henry More — of the truest Platonists of modern times, a precious ornament to our race, a glory to his country, and so pure and unselfish that the Masters held him in profound esteem. Sir Henry’s mind had been so intensely employed in purely intellectual speculation, that his spirituality had been temporarily stifled. Though he did not “materialize” and sit with us, he would converse with Mme. Blavatsky psychically, dictating copy, telling her what references to trace, answering Olcott’s questions, and making scholarly contributions to the literary symposium. When Mme. Blavatsky first arrived in America, she could hardly speak or write English. Having learned a good deal of English from her Master and Teacher, His verbal expressions and construction of sentences can be traced, like the course of a river, throughout her writings. Madame Blavatsky admitted that the first edition of “Isis Unveiled,” hailed by some as “masterpiece” and “monumental work,” had given her more anxiety and trouble than anything else during a lifetime more full of thorns than of roses: it had no system in it, as if a mass of unconnected paragraphs shaken up in a wastebasket, taken out at random, and published with hideous metamorphoses of one word into another, misprints, and misplaced quotation marks. Nevertheless, descending from on high like manna from heaven, “Isis” has been appreciated by those who, by separating the kernel of wisdom from the dead shell, can discern the true from the false. Regardless of its literary shortcomings, “Isis” affords lucid glimpses to hitherto concealed regions of Eastern Knowledge, over which Western minds have brooded silently until 1877. And, to this day, “Isis Unveiled” remains a Treasure of Light and Knowledge, which exceeds all riches. Little wonder that “Isis Unveiled” unleashed an unpreceded torrent of ugly accusations from venomous and unscrupulous tongues, pouring all their wrath upon Mme. Blavatsky. It was an unholy alliance of libellous charges, from fraud and immorality, down to the Russian spy and charlatan innuendos — accusing Mme. Blavatsky of acting on false pretences, being a living lie, a habitual drunkard, an emissary of the Pope, an agent of the Jesuits to break down Spiritualism, and suchlike absurd yet brutal slander. Thought acts independently of the brain which gave it birth. Once generated and released, that thought will live by its own energy. It therefore stands to reason that, as thought is beyond space and time, when two minds are in perfect psycho-magnetic resonance and, of these two, one is Adept in Occult Sciences, then His thoughts from an immeasurable distance become as comprehensible to the other as if spoken across a room. Madame Blavatsky’s contempt for slanderers was too great to permit her to notice them: she left all calumnies and the nauseating filth unrefuted, rather than stooping to the gutter and risk dirtying her feet. Madame Blavatsky extends her deep gratitude for the vital contributions of: 1. Henry Steel Olcott, for correcting the English and proof-reading “Isis,” suggesting that the work should be divided into chapters, and that Vol. I to be devoted to Science, and Vol. II to Theology. 2. Alexander Wilder, for correcting the Greek, Latin, and Hebrew words, suggesting quotations, writing the greater part of the Introduction “Before the Veil,” and compiling a brilliant Index. What Mme. Blavatsky claims as her own are the fruits of her learning and studying in fields unchartered by modern science, and unknown to the West. A most reprehensible oversight by Mr. J.W. Bouton, Publisher of “Isis Unveiled,” who pretended to be Mme. Blavatsky’s friend. In a brazen and dishonourable move, Bouton asserted copyright under his name, instructed Dr. Alexander Wilder (whom he employed as reader) to abridge the text “as much as it would bear,” and refused every proposition afterward to transfer copyright ownership to H.P. Blavatsky, or to drop the price to a reasonable level. “Isis Unveiled,” the bestseller in 1877, went through at least twelve reprints, each deceptively marketed as new edition by Bouton, the assumed copyright owner. But as all such “editions” came from the same printer’s plates, they perpetuated the same errors and, while the print quality kept fading away, Bouton’s earnings became blessed beyond measure. “Isis Unveiled” was a tentative effort to divert the attention of the Spiritualists from their hard-crusted preconceptions to the true state of post-mortem existence. However, “Isis” was not entirely unveiled, but rents sufficiently large were made to afford flitting glances by the student’s spiritual insight. There is no contradiction between a passage referred as the “Trinity Doctrine” (man’s imperishable monas, i.e., Atman-Buddhi-Manas) and the later theosophical teachings, simply because the Septenary Constitution of Man had not been divulged at the time when “Isis” was written. The publication of “Isis” unleashed petty and virulent criticism regarding the provenance of quotations from, and references to, various authorities. As no accusations could be made against its sublime philosophical concepts, bringing out to everyone (whether profane or profound) Occult Knowledge and Truths, we can safely conclude that the sole aim of the ruthless and opinionated “literary criticism” was to discredit Mme. Blavatsky. Ingratitude brings about its own demise and irrelevancy. No amount of scholarly criticism can justify the unsubstantiated accusations of “wholesale plagiarism,” especially when the sincerity of purpose and noble objective of “Isis Unveiled” have been acclaimed by independent thinkers, and highly esteemed by those who read it. In January 1884, Mme. Blavatsky began rewriting and amplifying “Isis Unveiled”, expanding it like the bud of the lotus, and calling it “The Secret Doctrine” — unquestionably the magnum opus of the modern age; Vol. I was published in October 1888. Back in October 1885, Mme. Blavatsky said that the new “Isis” was an entirely new work, freed from useless stuff, and without even twenty pages imported from the old “Isis:” Dogmas and doctrines, laws secular and divine, myths and mysteries, signs and symbols, are now expounded in the light of the perennial fountainhead of Ageless Wisdom, whose eloquence flows from the heart not the lips. The present Centennial Edition, published to coincide with The Theosophical Society’s Centennial in 1975, is a heartfelt tribute of gratitude to the Masters of Wisdom behind “Isis Unveiled,” by those whose eyes have since opened to new vistas of cosmic splendour and inspiration, above and beyond the narrow horizons of crystallized and despotic faiths. Superbly written, and in defiance of its literary shortcomings, the authoritative character of “Isis Unveiled” has never been questioned, and its intrinsic value has not been superseded or duplicated by “The Secret Doctrine.” The aim and plan of “Isis Unveiled” was three-fold: 2. To lay bare the archaic records of man’s divine ancestry and heritage. 3. To throw down the gauntlet to those who appropriated it for their own benefit and power, in the hope that their crime will remain undetected by posterity. Stirring up man’s latent potentialities, “Isis” dilates the most exalted aspirations of Spirit, expands man’s consciousness and, by providing a sound basis for elevated morality and tenderness, it kindles the flame of brotherly love and sympathy with every living creature — whether human or animal — for none of us live for ourselves, we all live in and for each other. Part 2. Preface to “Isis Unveiled.” The perennial outflow of Eastern Philosophy has room for no other faith than absolute trust and reliance in the omnipotence of Man’s Divine Self. “Isis Unveiled” shows that Mysteries are no mystery, save the idle speculations of the twittering mystery-mongers. The drift of modern thought is palpably in the direction of liberalism in religion, and is poised to seize from theology and sceptical science the lawful domains of cosmogonical doctrine and metaphysical philosophy. The far-right conservatives must surrender their despotic authority over the public conscience, which they have for so long enjoyed with impunity, by enforcing their lofty infallibility under the penalty of opprobrium. Faith is the key of Christendom, and when that key is broken and lorn, verily Christendom is lorn, and stands vain and without fruit. Long centuries of ecclesiastical oppression, inquisition, and papal dispensation for murder and mayhem have not quite congealed the life-blood of men into crystals around a blind spot of delusion overpowering the intellect. The Wisdom-Religion of Theosophy is the once Universal Religion of Reason, and Mother-parent of all religions, harmonizing the divine with the human in man, and unifying the great diversity of beliefs, creeds, and opinions. The enemies of Truth, and those for whom the price of a paragraph is more than the value of sincerity, are now arraigned for all to see. Mysteries are Sacred Truths, hidden from the sight of the profane. Mysteries are the heirloom of Archaic Wisdom. Owing to the rapid spread of vanity and selfishness, the twin causes of sin and suffering hindering Nature’s ultimate possibilities, Truth was concealed in symbols — an imperative necessity to protect Her from desecration, and to forestall brutality in men. A thin veil used at first, had to be gradually thickened to stem the tides of “personality” and immorality, and this led to the establishment of Mysteries to safeguard Sacred Truth against profanation by the multitude. Divine Magic makes of man a God; human magic creates a new fiend. When the veil of Isis is finally lifted, the Spirit of Truth (Christos) will inspire audibly the pure in heart (Theopneusty), paving the Royal Road to Divine Magic (Theurgy). As every heavenly and human body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, so Mysteries are the temple of the Earth. And the temple of Devotional Love (Bhakti) is the Secret Heart in every man — sanctuary of his innermost divine intuitions. The sublime mysteries, of what is called today so unphilosophically “creation,” were divulged to the elect of our Fifth Root-Race (Aryan), progeny of the preceding Fourth (Atlantean).

The Puranic Asuras are “Fallen Egos” incarnated in human forms. They are the ever-present Spark of Divinity in Man, now recast as “Fallen Angels” in the exuberance of Christian fancy. The serpent is the most ancient symbol because the reptile preceded the bird, and the bird the mammal. It was honoured by the Gnostic Ophites because he taught primeval men the Mysteries of Cosmos and Man. Serpent and Dragon were some of the names given to the “Wise Ones,” the initiated Adepts of olden times. On the lowest plane of materiality, the Serpent was adopted as a type of feminine pubescence, on account of its sloughing and self-renewal. The cow is the daughter of the first desires, she whom sages named Vach-Viraj, and who was milked by Rishi Brihaspati (Jupiter). Her milk is the Milk of Wisdom; her tail, the thread of Wisdom that unites us to our Higher Self.

I. Theism without Altruism is pious Egotism. Theosophical Atheism goes far deeper than the pious morality of Theism. II. The reign of ritualism and anthropomorphic cults degraded the whole world, retaining supremacy over our “civilized” age. III. There was a day when Church and Masonry were one. Masonry was archaic Gnosticism, or early Esoteric Christianity; Church Ritualism was (and still is) exoteric paganism pure and simple — manipulative and deceptive. IV. There is only one Grand Architect of the Universe; his sidereal counterparts, many. V. The primitive Christians were Christians indeed — the Theosophists of those days; the modern, are more pagan than any ancient idolaters. VI. The real Sun is the heart of numberless Solar Systems (Manifested Worlds); its brain is hidden behind the visible sun, which was regarded as both Father and Son by the early Christians; the planets are its limbs and pulses. The effulgence of our little sun is but mere reflection of the Central Spiritual Sun, the electric Fire of all Life and Supreme Deity — Unknowable Universal Mind and Causeless Cause. VII. Mysteries are the temple of the Earth, as every heavenly and human body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. The Secret Heart is fair Devotion’s only temple. The sublime mysteries of what today is called, so unphilosophically, “creation” were divulged to the elect of our Fifth Root-Race (Aryan), progeny of the preceding Fourth (Atlantean). VIII. The profanation of the sacred Mysteries began in 510 B.C. when, the upon the advice of an Athenian demagogue, the State bethought itself that purity alone should no longer be prerequisite to initiation (hitherto gratuitous), and began levying payment in advance — yet another example of money trumping merit in the so-called “cradle of civilisation.” Thus initiation became as popular a ritual among the masses then, as baptism has since become with the Christians. IX. The descent to Hell (this Earth), in the middle of the night, of the Initiates and “Builders of the lower Temple” and their ascend on the third day, were enacted in the initiatory rites in the crypts of the temple. X. The ancient Masons were known by various names. Most of the Alexandrian Eclectics, the Philaletheians of Ammonius Saccas, and the late Neo-Platonists, were all Masons — comprising within their ranks the learned scholars of the day, and several crowned heads. XI. Demeter and Bacchus are personifications of Substance and Spirit, the two vivifying principles in Nature and on Earth. Their sacred rite was unblushingly appropriated by modern Christianity. The Hierophant (he, who reveals the Mysteries to the neophyte) was called the “Father”; he was then passed, minus the knowledge of any mystery, into the “Father Priest,” who now administers the same communion and reveals nothing. XII. The Masonic pantheon of Sun-Moon-Venerable is a faithful echo of the Archaic Father-Mother-Son; and Mary, the Goddess Mother of ten thousand names! The biological Mother of Jesus is by far the most intuitive and prominent interlocutor of all disciples. Esoterically, Mary the Mother, Mary the sister of Martha, and Mary Magdalene, correspond to Buddhi, Manas, and lower Manas — in the Septenary Constitution of Man. XIII. Today, the sacred trinity of Paganism-Masonry-Theology rules the world of thought and beauty in secret, with a power so mighty that no finite mind can fathom out its method and system.
