Excuse me my friends!
Theosophy is not a church but a study of Divine Wisdom and society that aims for UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD that synthesizes all religions: Chrisitanity, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Taoism, etc. and Psychology my friend is not a church too but a science that deals with human behavior and its mental processes.![]()
Because you always thought that Theosophy is a religion that's why I have to correct you.
Well, the term Theosophy has been there before the time of Jesus The Christ.
It comes to us from the Alexandrian philosophers, called lovers of truth, Philaletheians, from phil "loving," and aletheia "truth." The name Theosophy dates from the third century of our era, and began with Ammonius Saccas and his disciples, who started the Eclectic Theosophical system.
Ammonius Saccas (3rd century AD) was a Greek philosopher from Alexandria who was often referred to as one of the founders of Neoplatonism. He is mainly known as the teacher of Plotinus, whom he taught for eleven years from 232 to 243. He was undoubtably the biggest influence on Plotinus in his development of Neoplatonism, although little is known about his own philosophical views.
Theosophy, literally "god-wisdom" (Greek: θεοσοφία theosophia), designated several bodies of ideas predating Blavatsky:
The term appeared in Neoplatonism. Porphyry De Abstinentia (4.9) mentioned "Greek and Chaldean theosophy", Ἑλληνική, Χαλδαϊκὴ θεοσοφία. The adjective θεόσοφος "wise in divine things" was applied by Iamblichus (De mysteriis 7.1) to the gymnosophists (Γυμνοσοφισταί), i.e. the Indian yogis or sadhus.
There was a group of Renaissance philosophers: Cornelius Agrippa, Paracelsus, Robert Fludd, and, especially, Jacob Boehme; the Enlightenment theologian Emanuel Swedenborg was influenced by these.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines theosophy as: "Any system of speculation which bases the knowledge of nature upon that of the divine nature", noting it is used in particular with reference to Boehme.
The three objects
The three declared objects of the original Theosophical Society as established by Blavatsky, Judge and Olcott were as follows:
- First — To form a nucleus of the Universal Brotherhood of Humanity, without distinction of race, creed, ***, caste, or color.
- Second — To encourage the study of Comparative Religion, Philosophy, and Science.
- Third — To investigate the unexplained laws of Nature and the powers latent in man."
