346 THE SECRET DOCTRINE.
The retrospective glance at this Satanic "blushing bride," in the
days of Satan's innocence, does not lose in poetry as it gains in
originality. Quite the reverse. The modern Christian bride—who
does not often blush now-a-days before her gay modern lovers—might
daughter of Satan, created in the
even derive a moral lesson from this
exuberant fancy of her first human biographer. These pictures—and
to appreciate them at their true value they must be examined in the
volume that describes them—are all suggested with a view to reconcile
the infallibility of revealed Scripture with Sir Charles lyyell's Antiquity
of Mai, and other damaging scientific works. But this does not
prevent truth and fact appearing at the foundation of these vagaries,
which the author has not dared to sign with his own, or even a
borrowed, name. For, his pre-Adamic Races—not Satanic but simply
Atlantean, and the Hermaphrodites before the latter—are mentioned in
the Bible, if read esoterically, as they are in the Secret Doctrine. The
Seven Keys open the mysteries, past and future, of the seven great
Root-Races, and of the seven Kalpas. Though the genesis of man, and
even the geolog3% of Esotericism will surely be rejected by Science, just
as much as the Satanic and pre-Adamic Races, yet if the Scientists,
having no other way out of their difficulties, are compelled to choose
between the two, we feel certain that—Scripture notwithstanding
once the Mystery Language is approximately mastered, it is the archaic
teaching that will be accepted.
