"The coming into being of the cosmos is pictured there as a breathing
process of the primal Being. Inbreathing and outbreathing of Beings - these
are the two fundamental tendencies present in all cosmic events. In the
outbreathing arises matter; in the inbreathing the spirit reveals itself.
Accordingly, there also exists a twofold cosmic "ideology" : that of the
Creators who affirm cosmic evolution, and that of the beings who reject
material creation.The battle of these "ideologies" takes place as much on
earth, as in heaven. In heaven it is the battle between the affirming and
denying gods; on earth it is the battle between souls following "the path
of the Sun", (Suryavancha) and souls following the path of the Moon
(Chandravancha). The Moon is the cosmic "headquarters of the materializing
world stream; the Sun that of the spiritualizing stream. Now it became
necessary for these two streams to unite at a particular point of cosmic
evolution. This event, its causes and effects, form a profound mystery. And
the wole work of H.P. Blavatsky is orientated toward this mystery.
Everything which is communicated in detail in the Secret Doctrine has, in
the last analysis, the purpose of shedding light on the Mystery of the Fall
into Sin. The Secret Doctrine, in spite of having an unclear style and
erratic train of thought, is a strongly centered work. It is oriented
toward one point: the event of human incarnation and the division of the
sexes, which took place in the middle of the Lemurian period." From an
Early Article by Valentin Tomberg 1930
