'The Secret Doctrine.Volume I. Cosmogenesis.Part II. The Evolution Of Symbolism.' Summary
"The Secret Doctrine. Volume I. Cosmogenesis. Part II. The Evolution Of Symbolism" by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky is a fascinating book that explores the origins and evolution of symbolism throughout human history. It offers an intriguing perspective on the significance and purpose of symbols, and how they have been used by different cultures to express their beliefs and ideas.
The book is divided into two parts, with Part II focusing on the evolution of symbolism. Blavatsky begins by explaining the concept of "archaic symbolism," which refers to the ancient symbols and myths that have been passed down through generations. She then goes on to examine the symbolism of different cultures, from ancient Egypt and India to the Native American tribes and the Norse gods.
Blavatsky's exploration of symbolism is not just limited to ancient cultures. She also delves into the symbolism of more modern movements such as Freemasonry, which she describes as a "brotherhood of symbols." She offers an insightful analysis of the various symbols used by Freemasons and their meanings.
One of the key themes of the book is the idea that symbols have a deeper meaning than what is immediately apparent. Blavatsky argues that symbols are not just arbitrary images, but are instead expressions of universal truths that can be understood by those with the right knowledge and insight. She also highlights the importance of intuition in understanding symbols, arguing that the meaning of symbols can often be grasped on a subconscious level.
Blavatsky's writing style is engaging and accessible, making the book a great read for young adults aged 13 and above who are interested in philosophy, spirituality, and the mysteries of the universe. While the book does contain some complex ideas and concepts, Blavatsky presents them in a way that is easy to understand and digest.
Overall, "The Secret Doctrine. Volume I. Cosmogenesis. Part II. The Evolution Of Symbolism" is a thought-provoking and enlightening book that offers a unique perspective on the role of symbolism in human culture. It is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the deeper meanings behind the symbols that surround us in our daily lives.
