The book is divided into two parts: the first creation, a look at how our ancestors understood our origins, then the theory of the kalpas, the second creation.
The first creation acknowledges the universe as arising from God or an Energy: this power emits a seed. The laws of Manu, at the origin of the genesis of Hinduism, describe "That," made of darkness, indistinct and without characteristic, until the appearance of Lord Svayambhuva.
Yami and Yama are recognized as the Adam and Eve of the Vedic age — three contradictions can be observed with the biblical Genesis. The Cosmogony that follows questions the very origin of being and non-being, before desire becomes the original development, the first seed of Consciousness.
A divine year counts three hundred sixty mortal years; twelve thousand divine years form a Maha Yuga. A kalpa equals fourteen lifetimes of Brahma, and each of the four Yugas has its own characteristics — the Krita Yuga, in particular, nourishes the purity of the human race. The hypothesis of a "traveler," almost extraterrestrial, is even considered. The origins of the theory of the kalpas remain unknown; however, it is estimated to date back at least 6000 years.
The work closes on the Yuga of the ascent: everything that rises must also come back down. The conclusion finally questions this theory of the kalpas — is it its flaw, or its strength?
