Talk:The Secret Doctrine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Einstein connection
I'm not wild about the inclusion of the Einstein link. It's possible that Einstein did keep a copy on his desk, but to me it looks like there's a good chance it's just an urban legend. I know the links should not be held to the same standards as the text, but I worry about posting links to such dubious information.
From my understanding the secret doctrine was brought up in the conversation of hitler and his mentor Dietrich Eckart and i believed he stated that he had said "follow hitler!he will dance, but it is i who have called the tune!'i have intiated him into the secret doctrine open his centres in vision and givehim the means to communicate with the Powers. So what does the phrase 'Secret Doctrine' really mean?"
[edit] RR
Paul, I think details about RR would better belong to the RR article itself. There the topic could be explained in detail, with the necessary information about the seven chains, globes,... instead of giving here some select citations confusing and bewildering the reader. I'm not against criticism, and I think that parts of the SD deserve to be criticized, but this topic should be treated in one single article. This is standard wikipedia practice: The Qu'uran article has no citations about Jihad or Slavery, because they are treated in separate articles (theoretically). --Loa 16:23, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
- The article should be about the content of the book. In its previous form it consisted of nothing but unexplained gushing endorsements. There was virtually no account of the book's content at all. I think that was far more 'confusing and bewildering to the reader.' Certainly more material should be added, especially about the first half of the book, but the racial aspect is quite important to the book's content, since HPB is consistently engaging with the scientific topics of her day - the age of the earth, evolution etc. This engagement is aligned to other attacks on Judeo-Christian traditions from this period. I don't quite follow the analogy with the Qur'an. Slavery is not central to the Qur'an, jihad is marginal. Root races are central to the SD. Paul B 08:00, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
