The Stanzas of Dzyan in the works of other authors
Supposed verses from the same Stanzas of Dzyan were later published by Alice Bailey in A Treatise on Cosmic Fire in 1925. Bailey claimed these verses had been dictated to her telepathically by the Tibetan Master Djwal Kul.
Ufologist Desmond Leslie drew heavily on the Stanzas of Dzyan in his writing,[5] and theorized that they had originally been produced on the lost continent of Atlantis.
Swiss author Erich von Däniken claimed to have explored some of the book's content and its alleged history, reporting unsourced rumours that the first version of the book predates Earth, and that chosen people who simply touch the book will receive visions of what it describes.[6]
References to the Stanzas exist in the fiction of H. P. Lovecraft, for example in his short story "The Haunter of the Dark",[7] and have been expanded upon by other writers who have worked within the Cthulhu Mythos.[citation needed]
