Approaching the Secret Doctrine - Its Teachings and Practical Application
H. P. Blavatsky is widely acknowledged as the leading figure behind the revival of the Western esoteric tradition, as well as a major influence on modern spirituality. Among her voluminous writings, The Secret Doctrine (SD) is undoubtedly her masterpiece. Arguably the most influential occult book ever written, this work is a challenging study due to its scope, its depth, and the recondite—yet fascinating—nature of its subject.
Approaching The Secret Its Teachings and Practical Application provides a careful account of the main concepts contained in the first volume of Blavatsky’s work, which presents an esoteric account of the origin and constitution of the cosmos, the laws directing its evolution, and its ultimate purpose.
In this book, Pablo Sender offers significantly more than a metaphysical exposition of the subject matter. Part I describes an approach to the SD that turns its study into a form of yoga, helping the student gain deeper insights into higher realities.
Part II explores the main teachings of the first volume of the SD, Cosmogenesis , expounding upon them in a clear and systematic way. Diagrams and charts are provided throughout, and all non-English technical terms are translated, removing a common stumbling block encountered by students.
Finally, Part III presents an innovative method to apply teachings on cosmic principles to the human mind and consciousness. It also includes a series of meditations and exercises designed to help the earnest student grow in self-knowledge and meet the experiences of daily life from the profound perspective put forth by Blavatsky’s remarkable text.

A really fantastic book, Pablo Sender has written this book in the style of interview questions, whereby Blavatsky responds. It's a very effective technique and really makes the material accessible
The book is made up of excerpts from The Secret Doctrine and breaks down difficult concepts.
I'm reading this alongside watching the videos on YouTube. Absolutely dynamite.
Can totally recommend to anyone who wants to truly understand what lies behind this illusion of material life.
