THE BOOK OF DZYAN
"The Book of Dzyan" (comprising "The Stanzas of Dzyan") is a reputedly ancient text of Tibetan origin. The Stanzas formed the basis for The Secret Doctrine, one of the foundational works of the theosophical movement, by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky in 1875.
In the short story by H.P. Lovecraft "The Diary of Alonzo Typer" of 1935, the diarist recounts how "I learned of The Book of Dzyan, whose first six chapters antedate the Earth..."
Lovecraft's successors continued to use the book in this kind of setting.
In "The Lurker at the Threshold" of 1945 by August Derleth, the narrator recalls that "I dipped into [the] strange and terrible pages" of the usual Mythos grimoires, plus "the Book of Dzyan, the Dhol Chants, and the Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan. I read of terrible and blasphemous cults of ancient, pre-human eras..."

Splendid scifi creation!
the details are amazing
Looks cool!
cool
Interesting, even Kabbalah doesn't look like that, I guess that has to do with the way of read, :) Good work on this!
The postwork here is perfect.
Very cool, you did a good job! It seems that ancient Tibetan texts have touched the minds of many writers. Although I didn’t like to read at school, and of the listed authors I only read Lovecraft. He is certainly a little creepy, but at the same time a mysterious and attractive writer. For literature reviews of other books, I usually used a writing service on the Internet. I liked https://essays.edubirdie.com/literature-review-writing because they provide personalized assistance. Now your work intrigues me and I want to read the rest of the books. I think you captured the spirit and atmosphere perfectly, I’m impressed.
Great!
