The Secret Doctrine, Vol. 2 of 4: The Synthesis of Science, Religion, and Philosophy
Blavatsky, H. P. (Helena Petrovna)
Theosophy
On the field of Ida, the field of resurrection [for the Fifth
Round], the sons of the highest gods assembled, and _in them their
fathers rose again_ [the Egos of all their past incarnations].
They talked of the Past and the Present, and remembered the wisdom
and prophecies of their ancestors which had all been fulfilled.
Near them, but _unseen by them_, was the strong, the mighty One,
who rules all things, makes peace between those who are angry with
each other, and ordains the eternal laws that govern the world.
_They all knew he was there, they felt his presence and his power,
but were ignorant of his name. At his command the new earth rose
out of the waters_ [of Space]. To the south above the Field of
Ida, he made another heaven called Audlang, and further off, a
third, known as Widblain. Over Gimil’s cave a wondrous palace was
erected, which was covered with gold and shining bright in the
sun. [These are the three gradually ascending Globes of our
Chain.] There the gods were enthroned, as _they used to be_, and
they rejoiced in the restoration and in the better time. From
Gimil’s heights [the Seventh Globe, the highest and purest], they
looked down upon the happy descendants of Lif [and Lifthrasir, the
coming Adam and Eve of purified Humanity] and signed to them to
_climb up higher_, to _rise in knowledge and wisdom_, in piety and
in deeds of love, step by step, from one heaven to another, until
they were at last fit to be united to the divinities in the house
of All father.(224)
He who knows the doctrines of Esoteric Budhism, or Wisdom, though so
imperfectly sketched hitherto, will see clearly the allegory contained in
the above.
