	Theosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Theosophy is a body of belief which holds that all religions are attempts by man to ascertain "the Divine", and as such each religion has a portion of the truth.
		Theosophy is similar to the beliefs of the Hindu Arya Samaj sect concerning Karma, Dharma, and Cosmogony.
		Theosophy, as well as many other esoteric groups and occult societies claim that the universe is ordered by the number seven.

	Theosophy and Anthroposophy in Russia
		Theosophy, deriving from the East, happened all at once to adapt itself to the scientific consciousness of the European man of the XIX Century, and to the modern evolutionism, to the contemporary avowal of the measure of law and the denial of miracle.
		Theosophy declared, that in Christianity is indeed that truth, which is common to all religions, and that it is not the religion of utmost truth.
		Christianity for anthroposophy is the revelation of the cosmic, and not the Divine.

	Theosophy
		Theosophy, as a coherent belief system, developed from the writings of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky.
		Theosophy, they claim, represents a modern face of Sanatana Dharma, "the Eternal Truth," as the proper religion of man.
		Theosophists believe that religion, philosophy, science, the arts, commerce, industry, and philanthropy, among other "virtues," lead humans ever closer to "the Divine." This, in theosophy, is a continuation of the Divine purpose through evolution.

	Theosophy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Theosophy refers to a body of belief which holds that all religions are attempts by man to ascertain "theDivine," and as such each religion has a portion of the truth.
		Adherents of theosophy maintain that it is a "body of truth " that forms the basis ofall religions.
		Like esoteric Buddhism, from which much of theosophical thought springs, theosophy teaches that beings have attained the humanstate through myriads of reincarnations, passing through the mineral, plant and animal stages since the birth of life on earth.However, theosophy differs from the exoteric belief that regression is possible.

		Theosophy, they claim, represents a modern face of Sanatana Dharma, "the Eternal Truth", as the proper religion of man. Christian Theosophy is a term used to designate the knowledge of God and of Jesus obtained by the direct intuition of the Divine essence.
		However Man is only the epitome of physical life on earth and is not the end stage of evolution, which continues for three further stages in the form of the Dhyani Chohans or Buddhic beings.
		The monad possess seven bodies: The word occult comes from Latin occultus (hidden), referring to the knowledge of the secret or knowledge of the hidden and often meaning knowledge of the supernatural, as opposed to knowledge of the visible or knowledge of the measurable, usually referred to as science.

	Theosophy by Annie Besant
		Theosophy points to all of these as proofs that its hypothesis is the true explanation of the facts, is no longer a hypothesis, indeed, but is a truth affirmed by history.
		Thus in Christian Baptism, Water is the physical Object, the Sign of Power is the Cross, the Word of Power is the baptismal formula: “I baptise thee in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost”; the Officiant is the duly ordained minister.
		Hence Theosophy is everywhere the defender and helper of religions, serving each in its own domain, pointing out to each man the sufficiency of his own faith, and urging him to deepen and spiritualise his beliefs rather than to attack the forms preferred by others.

	SATAN: JEHOVAH
		In the latest religion of all, Christianity, all the Combatants, gods and demons, adversaries in both the camps, are now transformed into Dragons and Satans, simply in order to connect evil personified with the Serpent of Genesis, and thus prove the new dogma.
		Christian theology had to isolate itself, and to assert its authority.
		With Pagans and Christians, with Hindus and Chaldeans, with the Greek as with the Roman Catholics -- with a slight variation of the texts in their interpretations -- they all were the Genii of the seven planets, as of the seven planetary spheres of our septenary chain, of which Earth is the lowest.

	Theosophy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The founder of Theosophy was Helena Petrovna Blavatskaya, known to her followers as Madame Blavatsky or simply “H.P.B.” Born in Russia in 1848, she was the daughter of noble parents, granddaughter of a princess and, through the Dolgoruky family, a descendent of the 12th century saint, Michael of Chernigov.
		But from an objective Christian standpoint, however, she was in all likelihood possessed by an unclean spirit who often spoke and dictated through her by means of automatic writing.
		Although numerous elements of Theosophy have been assimilated by today’s New Age Movement, one of the most curious and dangerous offshoots of Theosophy is the “Liberal Catholic Church,” founded after the First World War by Theosophists who had broken away from the Old Catholic Church of Holland.

	A phenomenology of contemporary Syncretism
		While Christian theosophy humbly explores the hidden riches of the divine revelation and thus stands at the root of Christian mysticism (1 Cor 2:10), by contrast there is also a "evocative theosophy" which conjures the experience of a "perennial religion" from the basis of any religious tradition, indifferent towards any doctrinal content.
		Theosophy in the modern sense pretends to form "the essence and the core, the fruit and the goal of all religions".
		The new element which Theosophy has inculcated into Western Hermetism is therefore karma, not reincarnation, and one should speak of a "religion of karma" that celebrates human autonomy in matters of salvation against the doctrine of vicarious atonement.

	Theosophy: Mystical Inner Teachings of Christianity
		Theosophy has a long history; it is the gnostic or inner history of Christianity, and includes such extraordinary figures as Clement of Alexandria, Dionysius the Areopagite, John Scotus Erigena, Meister Eckhart, Johannes Tauler, Jakob Böhme, and Franz von Baader, to name only the most luminary.
		Theosophy is not dogmatic: although there are theosophic doctrines, they are founded not in reason alone, but have their origin in gnostic experience, which can be of various kinds.
		Theosophy therefore is more an orientation toward spiritual experience than anything else, and this is why there is a continuity in the tradition even though theosophers are each unique in emphasis.

	"Theosophy and Christian Science" by A. Trevor Barker
		Now the ideas of Theosophy, the ideas of the wisdom-religion, upon the whole question of metaphysical healing, as indeed upon other questions, are not the ideas and speculations of any single individual, but they are the great truths that have been stated and restated by all the great sages and seers of antiquity.
		Here you have one example where the Christian Scientist's idea of all physical disease being caused by wrong thinking is not explicable by their science, but is nonetheless explicable in the light of Theosophy.
		And so we come now finally to the message of Theosophy to those who, whether by disease, whether by poverty, whether by any of the circumstances of life, need help, who feel that they have reached the end of their tether and that there is nothing to be done.

		The ideas of Theosophy, the ideas of the Wisdom-Religion, upon the whole question of metaphysical healing, as indeed upon other questions, are not the ideas and speculations of any single individual, but they are the great Truths that have been stated and restated by all the great Sages and Seers of antiquity.
		We differ from them upon the question of the application of the mind to the healing of the diseases of the body; upon the whole question of affirmation and denial; and to some extent on their attitude to money and the taking of money in connexion with healing processes that they claim to be spiritual.
		Theosophy, remember, teaches the evolution of the soul through a long series of reincarnations, from body to body: that is the way that the soul gradually learns the lessons of life, rising step by step to perfection.

	Theosophy In The Christian Bible -A Theosophical Article by William Q. Judge
		We say this doctrine has not of late been taught in Christianity; but it is in the books of the Christians and it ought to have been taught, it would have been profitable had it been expounded.
		The doctrine of reincarnation is taught in the Christian Bible, that is, that you will be born over and over again in this world according to your destiny, to follow the effects of causes you yourself have put in motion in whatever life.
		The old fathers in the early ages of Christianity taught that if we triumphed over the flesh and the devil, the world and sin, God would make each one a pillar in the house of his father and he would not have to go out again.

		It is often said that Theosophy is Eastern in focus (particularly emphasizing Buddhism and Hinduism), and that remark is often a criticism, implying that we neglect the spiritual tradition most dominant in Western culture around us.
		One is the development of practical means of communication between the Wisdom Tradition of Theosophy and the Christian frame of thought.

		He sketches a fresh model for understanding ancient innovations on more "mainstream" Judaism and Christianity, a model that is informed by modern research on dynamics in new religious movements and is freed from the false stereotypes from which the category "gnosticism" has been constructed.
		A vivid and soul-stirring reminder that not all Christianity is legalistic, linear and dogmatic.
		Non-sectarian, often suppressed, this lay mystical tradition is the Christian equivalent of Sufism in Islam, and of Kabbalah in Judaism.

		In her youth she rejected Orthodox Christianity and, in fact, proclaimed "a venomous hatred of Christianity" throughout her whole life (Marion Meade, Madame Blavatsky: The Woman Behind the Myth).
		Madame Blavatsky's Theosophy was nothing less than an attempt to synthesize Bramanism [an aspect of Hinduism], Buddhism and Occultism into a new religion.

		Unity's roots are to be found in the ministry of Dr. Franz Anton Mesmer, who practiced what was called "animal magnetism." His work involved manipulating the "subconscious" mind, and he was the first modern user of hypnotism (hence, the term "mesmerism").

	Androgyny in Christianity (Summary of Dissertation)
		Research into the historical roots of androgyny confirms the view that later Christianity has often represented a narrowing of several different streams flowing from its time of origin, which were fed by, among other things, the confrontation of the Jewish religion with the Greek and other surrounding cultures and religions.
		The word 'theosophy' was then not very different from 'theology' but during the rise of rationalism the word got a pejorative meaning; later the modern 'theosophical movement' used it for a different - mainly Eastern, that is not-Christian - content.
		In logical terms, his Christian world-view was only a by-product of the logical foundation of the seven 'artes', a foundation which involved a synthesis of the biblical and the scientific truth (a mutual legitimation).

	"Theosophia: Knowledge of Things Divine" by James A. Long
		The word is believed to go back to the first few centuries of our era, and possibly earlier, while its usage, though limited, predates by hundreds of years the establishment of the modern organizations that bear the name and which, with varying fidelity to its original significance, profess to follow a theosophic philosophy.
		As said, the first definition treats of theosophy as variously used in preceding centuries, and is written with a small t.
		This is the case whether we are considering the gnosis (knowledge) of gnostic theosophy, the theosophic speculations of the Hebrew Kabbalists or of the Fire-Philosophers, the Christian theosophy expounded by Meister Eckhart, Jakob Boehme or Saint-Martin, or again its modern representations.
