La Doctrina Secreta
Helena Blavatsky
Obra mayor de Blavatsky y texto fundacional de la teosofía moderna. Se presenta como comentario a las «Estancias de Dzyan», un poema cosmogónico que la autora decía haber traducido de una lengua secreta y que nadie más ha visto. El volumen I, «Cosmogénesis», expone las tres proposiciones fundamentales (un Principio absoluto e incognoscible, la ley universal de periodicidad y la identidad de todas las almas con el Alma universal) y la emanación cíclica del cosmos. El volumen II, «Antropogénesis», describe la evolución humana a través de siete «razas raíz» en continentes desaparecidos como Lemuria y la Atlántida. Una tercera parte dialoga con la ciencia y el simbolismo religioso de su tiempo. Su lectura ha marcado a Steiner, Yeats, Kandinsky, Scriabin y Mondrian.
