It is difficult to know what point you are making.  Whatever might have been
is not what is.
The SD IS in TWO volumes.  And is it possible that it relates to the dual
nature of MANAS?  Cosmogenesis/Anthropogenesis.

Not quite sure what you mean about HPBs book about the Secret Doctrine.  Are
you referring to "MY BOOKS."

The SD was published in 1888?  How could it be otherwise?  ""*Then, there
are three Eternals [888]?"  "No, the three are one.*"" [1] = 1888......"*and
this is Space*""(SD Proem page 11)
