Indian Genesis Unveiled.

[Guest guest]

In his new book "Genesis Unveiled"(Aug. 2002) Ian Lawton

devotes a chapter on the Stanzas of Dzyan published in 1888. And

concludes:

"I trust that I have done enough to demonstrate that it is

possible to interpret them as largely supportive of the themes I

expounded."

( "Genesis Unveiled," Conclusion of Chapter Thirteen)

 

Lawton concludes that "scholar David Reigle managed to identify

the Stanzas of Dzyan as authentic.

However it seems maybe Lawton conflates two entirely separate

questions. The first question is whether or not Blavatsky's writings

(particularly the Stanzas of Dzyan alleged to have some connection

to Tibet) show by internal evidence that they "might" be

genuinely based on authentic Asian sources. Reigle has gone some

distance yet presents a poor answer to this question. The second

question is whether or not Blavatsky's specific claims about her

sources are reliable and appear more Indian in origine then Tibetan ?

 

Reigle appears to assume a positive answer, never dealing with

contrary evidence, or acknowledging its existence. I would like to

see a discussion of these questions with recognized scholars of

Indian and Tibetan religion and history.
