Theosophy Anyone?

**Hellblazer 2.1**

Good morning, Istoryans.

Are there any members (active/inactive) of the Theosophical Society here?

**Hellblazer 2.1**

An organization founded in New York in 1875 by the Russian mystic Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831-91) and Henry Steel Olcott (1832-1907), an American psychic investigator who became its first president. Through the study of comparative religion the Society sought to uncover the truths which it believed to constitute the core of all religions. Its main beliefs, which include many Indian doctrines such as karma, reincarnation, and belief in astral bodies, are explained in Blavatsky's books Isis Unveiled (1877) and The Secret Doctrine (188

. Other influential figures include Annie Besant and C. W. Leadbetter. Leading members of the society visited India and other parts of Asia to study mystical teachings and seek out occult phenomena. Although Buddhist ideas are represented to some degree, the primary Indian influence on theosophy came from Hinduism.

asalam alaikum sadiq malic. aiwah, fi Islamic influences. but more on the spiritual and mystical aspect of Islam, especially Sufism.

what we do is a comparative study of religion, the better to enable us to understand each other's different belief systems and hopefully to gain Spirituality.

i've seen it too. it is quite expensive, but the treasures of wisdom written in it are by far priceless. i think our TS-Cebu Lodge President has that book. he's quite a collector. i collect books too, but my library can't surpass his collections.

anyway, have you read "At The Feet Of The Master" by Krishnamurti?

Theosophy is my spiritual path because I find it there is a heart, mind, body and spirit and soul and everything there is!

....and sacred *** too!

My GOD does not necessarily represent the GOD of all religions. Yes only my opinion and perhaps call it blasphemy or heresy...not an official doctrine from The Theosophical Society or else I would be excommunicated from the society if there was such a rule.
