The SD, as presented by HPB for this cycle of the Theosophical Movement was 
to give us (students of theosophy) the means to carry out the three "Objects" 
-- and for no other reasons.  This was to wake up our own latent knowledge, 
as well as to prepare us to teach the truths of reincarnation and karma 
(Universal Laws) to the masses -- by changing their false understandings of 
religion, science and/or philosophy (whichever divisions or groupings of them 
governs their individual thinking) .  Thus, we were given the "synthesis" of 
all these disciplines as a logical and consistent substitute for the wrong 
views promulgated by any single one of them.  This "synthesis" fulfills the 
precept that "There is no Religion Higher than Truth" and empowers all true 
theosophists with the knowledge and wisdom to confront or correct the wrong 
view thinking of anyone, on their own grounds, and in their own language.

And "that key" is simply our own intuition, coupled with an understanding of 
the real purposes of the SD.  The Secret Doctrine reveals all that is 
necessary to empower us with the means to ultimately bring on, through our 
own self devised and self determined efforts, a true universal brotherhood on 
this planet.  In addition, it gave out the scientific principles and 
universal laws separating the absolute from the relative, along with new 
ideas of transcendent universal energies that underlie all the scientific 
discoveries in the 20th century that led to our current high technology -- 
and the Internet.  (And, which will lead to entirely new scientific paradigms 
and super psychic neo-technologies in the next century.)  

The SD also contains the paths to all the "Secrets" of the "unexplained 
psychical powers latent in man" that must eventually be used by all of us, 
together -- to not only help reinforce and support this brotherhood, once 
formed, but also to reverse the impending destruction of the planetary 
biosphere that we have instigated by our wrong materialistic thinking and 
actions over the past centuries.  What advantage is the attaining of a 
universal brotherhood if there is no longer a planetary home to support it?  
And how can we attain, perhaps centuries from now, such a final UNIVERSAL 
brotherhood, without changing the minds of the ENTIRE human Race?  So, aside 
from these ends in view, in addition to our intuitions and our desire to 
learn the truths of universal reality for our own self realization, as well 
as to help and teach others -- what other keys are there?  

All such "Secrets" have been effectively hidden within the overall 
commentaries in the SD, so that only the fully intuitive student could find 
them.... This was cleverly done by HPB, to the best of her abilities (hint: 
working with both her left and right brain in synchronism), by burying the so 
called "secrets" within masses of convoluted scriptural data confirming the 
Three Fundamental Truths, and explaining, from the standpoint of each 
religion, the true course of cosmic and human genesis and their evolution 
without resort to a personal God or "Creator."  This was also done to insure 
that, before such "secrets," or dangerous new ideas could be attained, the 
students or casual readers would first have to wade through much moral and 
ethical teachings... Not only to give the intuitive students the necessary 
clues, hints, and "pointers" along the way, but also to more or less 
guarantee that such powerful (former) "secrets" would not be used in selfish 
manners harmful to others.  

Unfortunately, one must always take the bad with the good.  Potential Dugpas 
and black magicians could also be highly intuitive, and can find and use 
these "secrets" as well as distort the ethical teachings to suit their own 
purposes.  (Vide; Hitler and his Nazi cohorts -- who also studied the Secret 
Doctrine and used the "magic" they learned from it and from other mystic 
teachings mentioned in it.)  I'm sure that both HPB and the Mahatmas also 
understood this problem, and took the best precautions they could to prevent 
such dangerous "secrets" from reaching the less intuitive students or casual 
readers of the SD.  But, for those who really want to know and have the 
necessary patience, perseverance and intuition -- there are no secrets, of 
which at least the first four keys wasn't already turned by HPB... With the re
st of the seven Keys no further away than the focussed concentration and 
perceptive intuition of dedicated chelas couldn't find, turn and unlock for 
themselves.

Regardless of how far back in history or prehistory the underlying truths go, 
the Secret Doctrine, per se, was written, and the "Secrets" given out, solely 
to solve the problems of the world created in these last few centuries -- 
which will culminate, if we can't prevent it, in the possible destruction of 
human civilization as well as the Earth itself before the end of the next 
century.  To think that this is just another "passing phase", and that the 
actions of human beings that could destroy ourselves and our home in a few 
hundred years as "Nothing" -- not only shows a complete misunderstanding of 
why the SD was written, as well as a misunderstanding of the Fundamental 
Truths and the Objects -- but also shows a sad lack of concern for what is 
essentially a matter of life and death for the entire human race at this time 
in its long history...  

Already, as HPB pointed out, we are a million years behind in evolution due 
to the similar activities of our Atlantian ancestors... And, now, we are 
facing the last acid test that could either end this evolutionary experiment 
forever -- or, should we succeed in conquering our lower (Kama) natures -- 
begin a new age of higher (BuddhI) nature evolution leading toward a 
"paradise on Earth" in the next millennium... (And, possibly, not only catch 
up on our million years of lost evolution, but advance a million years to 
boot.:-)  

In a universe of infinite possibilities, a species could be destroyed in the 
same short length of time that it could take to realign the distorted energy 
field of a planet (should every human mind be changed and focussed on it at 
the same time).  "As above, so below" we are told.  If acupressure can cure 
the illnesses of the human body by readjusting the Chi (Prana) energies, or 
we can cure ourselves through self-healing mental visualizations, why 
couldn't the Earth also be cured of its maladies in similar manners?  Could 
this be what HPB meant in the Third (and final) Object when she literally 
ordered us to "investigate the unexplained laws of nature, and the psychical 
powers latent in Man"?  (Doesn't "Man" in that context mean Mankind -- as a 
whole?)  For what prophetic purpose did HPB have that in mind -- knowing that 
there were those among us who would inadvertently, under such mandate, attain 
the necessary knowledge that would enable them to control and apply those 
powers?  And, there's certainly no reason why ALL of us couldn't do the same. 
 Think about that.  

So, wake up, all you old and new theosophists -- some who go back long before 
Asuramaya -- and understand the great role in the evolutionary history of the 
Fifth Root Race on Earth that we, who are alive today, have been given (or 
chosen;-).  Remember that the great blessing of the marvelous Internet and 
all the other electronic mass media that enables us to reach out with our 
"messages" and communicate immediately with almost everyone in the world, 
both individually, as well as in immense groups, was given to us through the 
"Secrets" intuited by Einstein from his study of HPB's SD at the beginning of 
this past century.  (See: 
http://users.aol.com/unIwldarts/uniworld.artisans.guild/einstein.html/

It's time to stop listening to the "false prophets" who surround (and 
infiltrate) us.  Question those who try to turn us from the path and the plan 
laid out by HPB, or belittle her great educational work, her teachings, or 
the TM that she initiated in this cycle to solve the horrendous problems that 
the human race finds itself in today.  Yesterday, and all the yesterdays 
before, is what led up to this critical turning point.  Tomorrow, and all the 
tomorrow's following depend upon the ideas we hold and the choices we make -- 
NOW -- by each and all of us.  

For those who hear the call, look for the "right action" for yourself, and 
join in with others of like mind to help fulfill the real needs of the 
Movement and insure that what has to be done will get done.  In any event, we 
MUST eventually fulfill all the Three Objects, and overcome all these 
problems facing both mankind and the Earth... Or, perhaps, there will be no 
tomorrow's -- beyond the not to far off "tomorrow" when total catastrophic 
disaster may finally overcome us all (due to our individual and group failure 
to begin to act on this last phase of the PLAN during the next few years).  

So, each of us must choose for ourselves what we are to do during these 
critical times in our evolutionary history.  For many it will be to continue 
studying and learning how to "be better able to help and teach others" in 
whatever way they can and situation they are in.  For others, it will be to 
join together with groups that can best make use of their talents and skills 
as well as their combined knowledge and wisdom for transmission through the 
Internet and the mass media to promulgate the "message" of the Movement to 
the world at large.  And for others, it may be to use their talents and 
skills to help layout the plans and blueprints, so as to focus the visions of 
all those who will be instrumental in recreating, designing and 
reconstructing our future world -- that must eventually be rebuilt in total 
harmony with nature, and function in accord with natural law.

Best wishes,
