Key Concepts of Theosophy 1) Infinitude Nature is infinite in space and time boundless and eternal, unfathomable and ineffable. The all-pervading essence of infinite nature can be called space, consciousness, life, substance, force, energy, divinity all of which are fundamentally one. 2) The finite and the infinite Nature is a unity in diversity, one in essence, manifold in form. The infinite whole is composed of an infinite number of finite wholes the relatively stable and autonomous things (natural systems or artefacts) that we observe around us. Every natural system is not only a conscious, living, substantial entity, but is consciousness-life-substance, of a particular range of density and form. Infinite nature is an abstraction, not an entity; it therefore does not act or change and has no attributes. The finite, concrete systems of which it is composed, on the other hand, move and change, act and interact, and possess attributes. They are composite, inhomogeneous, and ultimately transient. 3) Vibration/worlds within worlds The one essence manifests not only in infinitely varied forms, and on infinitely varied scales, but also in infinitely varying degrees of spirituality and substantiality, comprising an infinite spectrum of vibration or density. There is therefore an endless series of interpenetrating, interacting worlds within worlds, systems within systems. The energy-substances of higher planes or subplanes (a plane being a particular range of vibration) are relatively more homogeneous and less differentiated than those of lower planes or subplanes.

24. Theosophy By Annie Besant SECTION I. theosophy AS SCIENCE. The wise will observe and investigate, andwill study before they reject. Section II. theosophy AS MORALITY AND ART. http://www.theosophical.ca/TheosophyAB.htm

T H E O S O P H Y by Annie Besant INTRODUCTION THEOSOPHY AS SCIENCE    THEOSOPHY AS MORALITY AND ART THEOSOPHY AS PHILOSOPHY ... THE THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY INTRODUCTION Theosophy is derived from two Greek words –Theos , God; Sophia, Wisdom –and is therefore God-Wisdom, Divine Wisdom. Any dictionary will give its meaning : “A claim to a direct knowledge of God and of Spirits”, a definition which is not inaccurate, though it is scanty and affords but a small idea of all that is covered by the word, either historically or practically. The obtaining of “a direct knowledge of God” is –as we shall see in dealing with the religious aspect of Theosophy –the ultimate object of all Theosophy, as it is the very heart and life of all true Religion; this is “the highest knowledge, the knowledge of Him by whom all else is known”; but the lower knowledge, that of the knowable "all else”, and the methods of knowing it, bulk largely in Theosophical study. This is natural enough, for the supreme knowledge must be gained by each for himself, and little can be done by another, save by pointing to the way, by inspiring to the effort, by setting the example; whereas the lower knowledge may be taught in books, in lectures, in conversation, is transmissible from mouth to ear. THE MYSTERIES Such Mysteries existed as the heart of the religions of antiquity, and only gradually disappeared from Europe from the 4

Jokes and Stories Modern Theosophy New How to recognize a true spiritual path..., Katinka Hesselink New The title of this homepage is meant in two ways. Firstly it refers to the modern theosophical movement as started by H.P. Blavatsky , H.S. Olcott, W.Q. Judge and others. This movement is modern in the sense that its present form is only one and a quarter century old (speaking in 2000). The second meaning refers to the content found here as opposed to that found in the Esoteric Studies Guide . There I have focussed on the occult side of classical theosophy. Classical theosophy means in this case the theosophy of Blavatsky and her Mahatmas. In Modern Theosophy I focus on the more general subjects of ethics inner growth and wisdom metaphysics karma and reincarnation and introductions into theosophy . The writers are mostly from Theosophical Societies - whether founders or more modern. There are also naratives, jokes and stories

Olcott Theosophical Publishing House Adyar Chennai(Madras) India Now, experience proves, what reason might have foreseen, that a comparatively small proportion of the Fellows of the Society take up seriously either of the two contracting Objects, and that only an exceptionally enthusiastic Brother is moved to action by the expanding one; from which it follows that as far as concerns any activity or good influence in the practical affairs of life, the Fellows as a corporate body might as well be shut up in a little community like the Shakers, from whom the world hears once in every ten years or so. If this, however, were all there were in the Theosophical Society, it would never have become the well-known, by many much esteemed, and, in certain quarters, roundly abused, institution that it is. The fact is that those who join the Society bring into it their knowledge and their activity, and the reputation of the Society has been built up by the individual efforts of its Fellows.

31. Theosophy theosophy. We cases . . One might wonder why, if theosophy is so ancientand universal, it was so unknown until 1875. Madame had an answer. http://skepdic.com/theosoph.html

Robert Todd Carroll SkepDic.com Click to order from Amazon theosophy "We assert that the divine spark in man being one and identical in its essence with the Universal Spirit, our "spiritual Self" is practically omniscient, but that it cannot manifest its knowledge owing to the impediments of matter. Now the more these impediments are removed, in other words, the more the physical body is paralyzed, as to its own independent activity and consciousness, as in deep sleep or deep trance, or, again, in illness, the more fully can the inner Self manifest on this plane. This is our explanation of those truly wonderful phenomena of a higher order, in which undeniable intelligence and knowledge are exhibited. " [Madame Blavatsky] "...we are imprisoned in the body, like an oyster in his shell." [The Socrates of Plato, Phaedrus To the philosopher, the body is "a disturbing element, hindering the soul from the acquisition of knowledge..." "...what is purification but...the release of the soul from the chains of the body?"

32. Eastern School Of Theosophy By Annie Besant Letter from Besant from December 19th, 1894. http://www.blavatskyarchives.com/besantes1894.htm

Judge's Nov. 1894 E.S.T. circular , see: The Theosophical Movement 1875-1950 , Chapter XVI, especially pp. 241-246; and Henry S. Olcott's Old Diary Leaves , Volume V, Chapter XIX, "Mr. Judge Denounces Mrs. Besant," especially pp. 252-260. - BAO Editor.] I received yesterday, December 18 th , from Mr. W. Q. Judge, a circular dated from New York, 3 rd November, 1894. I had previously received, on November 14 th , in Australia, a curt telegram from Mr. Judge informing me that he had notified the School that he was sole Head of the E.S.T. with control of everything by "Master’s Orders." I did not reply to the telegram, as it said the notification to the School was made, and there was nothing for me to do until I knew what notification had been issued. All the further information I had was contained in telegrams to the Australian papers, stating that I was expelled by Mr. Judge from the Theosophical Society in consequence of the exposures in The Westminster Gazette . The public disgrace seriously interfered with the end of my Australian work, but it fortunately came nearly at the end of the tour; fortunately also it came ere I left Australia; and there reached me telegrams and letters from our Lodges promising fullest support and unanimous loyalty.

Lives Past, Lives Remembered Grow New Teeth Thought Has Mass The Master of Saint Hill Brush with Authority All at Sea Ethics and Uniforms From Psychotherapy to Religion The Coming of the Saucers Jesus is Alive and Well and Living on Venus Myths in the Skies The Pioneers More Mental Marvels Many Masters Divers Holy Monks Yesterday and Tomorrow INDEX Table Of Contents As organized religion has declined, new surrogate beliefs, many of them based on pseudoscientific rationality, have sprung up. These are what Dr. Christopher Evans calls the cults of unreason, man's attempt to fit technology to a religion-like belief. Evans discusses a number of these new "religions" - Scientology, the flying-saucer cults, the alpha-wave-feedback churches, the Eastern mysticism sects - describing how they were founded, how they operate, and how they are helpful or harmful to their followers. In many of these cults naivete and sophistication work side by side; ideas about advanced psychology and physiology are juxtaposed with remnants of pre-Christian myths and nineteenth-century occultism. All of the cults of unreason have one thing in common: they attempt to satisfy man's need to reach simple, understandable answers to the confusion around him. Dr. Evans wonders if we can expect more and more of these pseudo-religions as the hapless individuals in our society are confronted with newer and even more unwanted life styles and expectations. It is possible that systematized "unreason" is man's only possible response, and as such is not only necessary but welcome.

P. Sinnett began his1881 book, The Occult World , the first popular exposition of Theosophy, published thirty years ago. During the years that have passed since then, many thousands have learned wisdom in that school, yet to the majority its teachings are still unknown, and they can give only the vaguest of replies to the query, “What is Theosophy?” Two books already exist which answer that question: Mr. Sinnett’s

37. "What Is Theosophy?" By H. P. Blavatsky What Is theosophy? by HP Blavatsky. According correct. But the explanationsthat follow are far from giving a clear idea of theosophy. http://www.theosophy-nw.org/theosnw/theos/th-hpb.htm

What Is Theosophy? by H. P. Blavatsky According to lexicographers, the term theosophia is composed of two Greek words theos "god," and sophos "wise." So far, correct. But the explanations that follow are far from giving a clear idea of Theosophy. Webster defines it most originally as "a supposed intercourse with God and superior spirits, and consequent attainment of superhuman knowledge, by physical processes, as by the theurgic operations of some ancient Platonists, or by the chemical processes of the German fire-philosophers." Vaughan offers a far better, more philosophical definition. "A Theosophist," he says "is one who gives you a theory of God or the works of God, which has not revelation, but an inspiration of his own for its basis." In this view every great thinker and philosopher, especially every founder of a new religion, school of philosophy, or sect, is necessarily a Theosophist. Hence, Theosophy and Theosophists have existed ever since the first glimmering of nascent thought made man seek instinctively for the means of expressing his own independent opinions. Theosophy is, then, the archaic

Our Intelligent Companions, the Plants By John Van Mater, Jr. We take it for granted that plants are essential for maintaining our ecosystem, for producing oxygen, and providing the primary food source in a vast chain to which man belongs. But plant intelligence also reflects a soul-life and consciousness, which is an overall unifying factor. How the vegetable kingdom first emerged and became established is mysterious. Plants have been evolving for many hundreds of millions of years as have minerals, viruses, and bacteria. One of the oldest fossils of any living form appears to be a microscopic plant, a bacterium, trapped in a type of black chert rock in Swaziland, Africa, and reckoned to date back over three billion years. A simpler colonial relative of blue-green algae is dated at 2.8 billion years. Flowering plants suddenly appeared approximately one hundred million years ago towards the latter half of the Cretaceous Age. In each era the right plants occupied the proper places and adjusted to prevailing conditions along with the animals that went with them. As the ages followed one another, the plants proliferated and helped to set the stage. A vital exchange among the kingdoms mineral, plant, and animal serves to produce climates and conditions appropriate to the time. Possibly the first single-celled plants or algae started the sophisticated process called photosynthesis; this involves the transfer of light energy into chemical energy via chlorophyll. When algae suddenly arrive on the scene in the fossil records, their genetic material along with photosynthesis is already evolved and in place. How could this be unless intelligence indeed intelligences were operating behind the scenes?
