O Lanoo!: The Secret Doctrine Unveiled

"Lanoo" is a Sanskrit word for student, a seeker of truth. Based on the story of Dzyan which is central to Madame Blavatsky's "Secret Doctrine", this book teaches about our origins and our destiny. It comprises 19 stanzas and tells of the journey of the Pilgrim-soul in a series of lives in the bodies of Seven Races of Man. The Third Race, Lemuria, and the Fourth Race, Atlantis, gave way to our own Fifth Race of Man. In the last three Races, wisdom bought with experience will rise again. 

This single-volume edition, abridged and annotated by historian and Theosophical scholar Michael Gomes, places the ideas of The Secret Doctrine within reach of all who are curious. In particular, Gomes provides a critical sounding of the book's famous stanzas on the genesis of life and the cosmos- mysterious passages that Blavatsky said originated from a primeval source and which form the heart of The Secret Doctrine. Gomes scrupulously scales down the book's key writings on symbolism to their essentials, and offers notes and a glossary to illuminate arcane references.
