1921. Extractions from the many writings of Blavatsky, the founder of the Theosophical Society, and presented as meditations, or readings, for each day of the year. See other works by this author available from Kessinger Publishing. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty, faded or difficult to read.

It is said that many intelligent and otherwise capable people owned the Secret Doctrine but only a handful actually understood and comprehended it in its totality. The problem is that the esteemed author, Madame Blavatsky used a prose and style that many contemporary readers would have trouble reading and understanding. The sheer size of the books is formidable. In addition the Secret Doctrine attempts to cover everything from the complete Cosmology of The Universe, God and the devil - just to name a few of the subjects. The third, also called Lost Volume of the work was published and mostly written by her disciple Annie Bessant, who naturally knew a great deal less than her Master. According to P.G.B. Bowen, Blavatsky gave the following instructions regarding the study of the Secret Doctrine: "Reading the Secret .Doctrine page by page as one reads any other book (she says) will only end us in confusion. The first thing to do, even if it takes years, is to get some grasp of the "Three Fundamental Principles" given in the Proem. Follow that up by study of the Recapitulation - the numbered items in the Summing Up to Vol. I (Part 1.) Then take the Preliminary Notes (Vol. II) and the Conclusion (Vol. II)." Reading this guide book and appendix A and B will certainly help understanding the most important book in the last two hundred years.

Elephas Levi (the pen name of Abb Louis Constant, 1810-1875) was one of the leading occultists of the 19th century. For most of his life he was a Roman Catholic priest; even after he was defrocked in 1844, his views continued to have a strong Catholic influence. His books, translated into English after his death, were essential to the development of other occultists such as Albert Pike, Helena Blavatsky, A.E. Waite, and Aleister Crowley.

"Paradoxes of the Highest Science" was the first of Levi's books to be translated into English. (The original French version was published in 1856.) This edition reprints the 1883 text issued by the Theosophical Society (translated by Anonymous) and includes the 1922 commentary by "an Eminent Occultist" (perhaps Helena P. Blavatsky).

In addition to "Paradoxes of the Highest Science," this edition includes two more essays by Levi, "Synthetic Recapitulation" and "The Great Secret."
