Edition DescriptionReprint
SynopsisIsis Unveiled was H P Blavatsky's first major literary effort, a critical response to the growing materialism in both scientific and religious institutions, and a vindication of the ageless quest. In the author's words, Isis 'is the fruit of a somewhat intimate acquaintance with Eastern adepts and study of their science. . . . They showed us that by combining science with religion, the existence of God and immortality of man's spirit may be demonstrated'. Supported by extensive evidence from religious and mystical traditions, classical scholarship, and the testimony of nature, these volumes aid the student in detecting the vital principles which underlie the philosophical systems of old. Volume I focuses on the prevailing scientific theories of the time, balanced against the 'anciently universal Wisdom Religion', while Volume II examines the creeds of religions past and present, alongside the myths and symbols of various cultures. Throughout, the author strikes at the root of dogma and affirms the 'paramount importance of re-establishing the Hermetic philosophy in a world which blindly believes it has outgrown it. This edition also includes two articles by H P Blavatsky on the writing of Isis Unveiled: 'My Books' (1891) and 'Theories About Reincarnation and Spirits' (1886)., Focuses on the scientific theories of the time, balanced against the 'anciently universal Wisdom Religion'. This title examines the creeds of religions, alongside the myths and symbols of various cultures.
Know that this book stomps most everything non-fiction. It is page after page of revelation, and much of the info is as relevant as anything writing in the 19th century. Still the best book on Gnosticism pre-20th century and on most topics of history, the mysteries, or religion, this is as authoritative as you can get.
Ignore the haters, as most of them have been silenced by time. She has essentially been written out of our history, which is a shame because this is one of the most intelligent books by man or woman at any time. There is a reason she was a touchstone for Einstein, Oppenheimer, Reich, Jung, and(probably) Tesla. All oh her a debt, especially Einstein, whose relativity theory is already in this book, minus the math. The wave particle form of matter? It’s here too.
I have now read it about 7 times, and have owned 3 sets of copies. My shelf will never be without it in the future. Absolutely crucial source material.
