Man, the Measure of All Things
By Sri Krishna Prem and Sri Madhava Ashish
Is Man a product of a purely material evolution, or a creature of divine descent? The failure of both science and of orthodox religion to reconcile these conflicting views of human origin leaves many people with the feeling that spiritual teaching is illogical and ‘unreal’.

Attempting to bridge the gap between the world of science and the world of spiritual reality, this book takes a fresh look at the esoteric Stanzas of Dzyan, the little-known work upon which H.P. Blavatsky’s The Secret Doctrine is based. By studying the symbols of cosmogonies and creation myths, the writers trace the story of the emergence of human consciousness from its spiritual source – a symbolic, though none the less true, account of the evolution of the universe. The book’s re-statement of the physical world’s spiritual roots aims to heal the gap between body, soul and spirit.
