The Source of Thought and Wisdom

  • Summary

  • The Secret Doctrine’s author and founder of Theosophy, Madame Helena P. Blavatsky, addressed her scientific contemporaries as not brilliant conveyers of newly discovered truths, but as fallible men, whose inquiries into the very subjects of the day they popularized, as being too shallow to accurately inform their public. At the time of her writings in the 1860s, scientific discoveries were propelling the industrial age and Western medicine forward, but in the subtle subjects such as psychology, understanding the precursors to thought entering the human mind and how to discern wisdom from falsehood, the coarseness of their mentalities impeded accuracy. She sites materialism, complete rejection of the soul and our Higher Self and more, as their fateful impediments, yet manages to she brightens the path to informed discernment for her readers.
