Review # 1 was written on 2016-09-16 00:00:00 Lewis Preston This is definitely one of the best books on esoteric philosophy I've read. I especially found the chapters on the planetary chain of worlds fascinating, and how human evolution is tied to this chain. It allows us to more fully appreciate the vastness of the universe and the enormous time spans involved in the evolution of our souls. I wrote an blog post related to a quote in this book here: A.P. Sinnett writes in a very captivating way, and he provides us with so much information that goes to the cusp of human knowledge and intuition. He relates the Buddhist ideas from Masters he has studied with in the East and also shows how they relate to other philosophies, religion, and science. I also like how Sinnett isn't shy from saying how he thinks many other ideas are simply wrong! This book certainly brings to light many details about Buddhism not explained in popular "exoteric" accounts, making it much more understandable and relateable to other traditions such as Neoplatonism.
