In the late twentieth century, our country has experienced a series of crises, each of which can be named by the system.Economic turmoil, the collapse of a single state, the reassessment of historical facts, change of attitude to the religious life - that's just a partial list of events, an avalanche struck the head of the former Soviet people used to live, though modestly, but steadily.
Former atheists were at a crossroads.They can keep their unbelief, or choose between the many faiths.The fashionable word "spirituality" has attracted its foreign sounding, it felt something modern, progressive and opposite hidebound, according to many people perplexed, moral and ethical standards - both communist and religious.
In bookstores appeared the works of Helena Roerich, coexisted with it and Blavatsky."The Secret Doctrine" for a short time became a bestseller.Still, all available only enlightened so attractive, and here the book of all books, the synthesis of all religions and science.
However, the majority of those who ventured into the difficult times to pay for a hefty three-volume a considerable amount, seized complex feeling composed of stunned frustration and boredom.Hard to write Helena Blavatsky."The Secret Doctrine" is set out in some strange way a wider audience.Scientists are people altogether Homesick.The uniform and absolute reality - it still somehow familiar, there we used to live for many decades.But "Rootless Root" - this is too much.Reincarnation, the presence of the Supersoul, and other attributes of Buddhism can not be called the author's own invention.
Blavatsky not think of it."The Secret Doctrine", however, is full of these concepts.By the science work has nothing to do at all, it is based on the fact that there are some sources of knowledge, to which is attached an extraordinary writer, while others in this chamber the way ordered.
veil of mystery, which during his life was surrounded by Blavatsky.Secret Doctrine of the countless worlds, endangered, and after re-emerging, and other cyclicality claimed to be the creation of yet another universal law that describes everything.The trouble was complete inapplicability of this complex concept to solve any practical problems.The very writer during his hobbies spiritualism tried to predict, but apparently to no avail.From the medium require short-term forecasts, which are easy to check.Then she moved on to periods of significantly separated in time.Today, one hundred twenty-five years after the publication of the three-volume, one can assume that her prophecy did not come true, or they were made in extremely vague terms, and some historical facts permit "attraction" after a fit.
So why not forgotten Blavatsky?"The Secret Doctrine", a summary of which is almost impossible to explain, and read all three volumes of rare who have the patience to successfully took place on the bookshelf of people claiming to belong to the intellectual elite of society.It performs this book is mainly a decorative function.But sometimes quote from her is still used.They sometimes try to "improve" Orthodoxy, making it a "tolerant" and "convenient".
Since reasonable and reasoned argument for reform action is not enough, used the same "esoteric method", which is used Blavatsky."The Secret Doctrine" and remains a mystery, at least outwardly.Another thing is that sometimes the main secret lies precisely in his absence.
