Named as one of the 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People by Watkins Mind Body Spirit, Zinovya Dushkova, Ph.D., is one of the few who has gained access to the million-year-old manuscript widely known as the Book of Dzyan, which contains answers to humanity's most pressing questions. Written in the language of the Gods, called Senzar, it is secretly hidden in the heart of the Himalayas, accessible to only a chosen few over the course of human history, including Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ, Pythagoras, Plato, and Helena Blavatsky.
Now, for the first time ever, Dr. Dushkova has presented a never-before-seen excerpt from the mysterious Book of Dzyan in The Book of Secret Wisdom to bring new meaning and hope into your life.
In other words: No, you cannot check for yourself if that’s what the Book of Dzyan actually says, you just have to take my word for it, oh, and since I’m just giving an excerpt rather than the entire book, I can publish new books based on some other part of it!
How convenient.
Of course, in reality, there is no such thing as the Book of Dzyan. It’s just something Blavatsky made up as a false authority she could attribute her woo to (instead of the other contemporary occultists she plagiarised). Her claims of it are inconsistent with each other and quite clearly an appropriation of what little was known in Europe of Tibet and ancient India back then.
The all-embracing and undistorted Truth presented in this book was once accessible only to the privileged initiates of ancient civilizations who spent much of their lives seeking it. But now it is available to you in the pages of The Book of Secret Wisdom, a book that offers unprecedented access to the world's most ancient mysteries.
Why is this advanced esoteric knowledge to be exclusive to those who have already dedicated themselves to studying and understanding these strange truths suddendly released to the ignorant masses?

Didn’t know Pythagoras worked that closely with theology.
You were not aware of the Pythagorean mystery cult, whose exoteric beliefs include mathematical and musical mysticism, reincarnation (in a form that is quite distinct from Indian beliefs, with New Age beliefs on reincarnation being more closely based on it than the latter), asceticism, vegetarianism and an absolute taboo on eating beans (reportedly due to playing a role in the migration of souls). It is even said that Pythagoras had a mathematician who had a proof that Pi is an (in modern terminology) irrational number assassinated.
It may be noted that there is a debate whether Pythagoras the Mathematician or Pythagoras the Mystic was the “real” Pythagoras - a debate that goes back to antiquity, because at the very least, there was a deep split between natural-philosopy-Pythagoreans and mystery-religion-Pythagoreans very early on, with each side believing that theirs was what Pythagoras was really about while the other was just coincidental to his teaching and that the other factions were just misaimed fandom posers who did not get Pythagoras.
