Theos-Talk Archives (January 1998 Message tt00317)

Dear Mark:

The study of the narrative given in very great detail in SECRET DOCTRINE
Vol. 2 requires careful and detailed study.  Brenda has done a splendid job
summarizing some of the details as I read her postings.  I feel that what
HPB states early in Vol. 1, p. 181 as to the 3 streams of evolutionary
progress that merge in humanity is important to grasp at the changes in 1.
Form; 2. psychology (the conflict for dominance between our emotional and
our mental natures), and, 3. the Egoic-Spiritual (or "Monadic" ( as the
study of the experiences that the ATMA-BUDDHIC Monad seems to "supervise
without interference" (as the HIGHER SELF) in each human.

A review of the INDEX to the SD (not included in the back of Vol. 2 (but a
separate book) gives greater detail and framing from which any aspect of
these studies may be pursued.  But then it becomes very lengthy and
difficult to give an accurate summary of.

The best summary I know of is to be found in THE OCEAN OF THEOSOPHY by
W.Q.Judge and is covered in a few pages.  See Chapters 2 and 3 covering the
"Earth chain of Globes," and chapters 14 and 15 covering cycles of time and
Evolution in general.  About 40 to 50 small pages, intensely packed and
fully correlatable to the SD.  In even shorter compass, he covers the same
ground in sections of the small book ECHOES FROM THE ORIENT (about 50
pages), and even briefer in AN EPITOME OF THEOSOPHY which was originally
published as a "Theosophical Tract," and received wide circulation in the
early days of the Ts in America  (c. 1886-1896).
