		Theosophy seeks to develop the human nature in man in addition to the animal, and at the sacrifice of the superfluous animality which modern life and materialistic teachings have developed to a degree which is abnormal for the human being at this stage of his progress.
		Theosophists are of necessity the friends of all movements in the world, whether intellectual or simply practical, for the amelioration of the condition of mankind.
		The function of Theosophists is to open men’s hearts and understandings to charity, justice, and generosity, attributes which belong specifically to the human kingdom and are natural to man when he has developed the qualities of a human being.

		For the Theosophists of the current century have already visibly impressed themselves on modern literature, and introduced the desire and craving for some philosophy in place of the blind dogmatic faith of yore, among the most intelligent portions of human-kind.
		Emanation is a distinctly more accurate and descriptive word for theosophists to use than evolution is, but unfortunately emanation is so ill-understood in the Occident, that perforce the accepted term is used to describe the process of interior growth expanding into and manifesting itself in the varying phases of the developing entity.
		Theosophists, therefore, are, strictly speaking, rather emanationists than evolutionists; and from this remark it becomes immediately obvious that the theosophist is not a Darwinist, although admitting that in certain secondary or tertiary senses and details there is a modicum of truth in Charles Darwin's theory adopted and adapted from the Frenchman Lamarck.

		We Theosophists, therefore, distinguish between this bundle of "experiences," which we call the false (because so finite and evanescent) personality, and that element in man to which the feeling of "I am I" is due.

	H.P.Blavatsky to the Archbishop of Canterbury -
		Theosophists know that the deeper one penetrates into the meaning of the dogmas and ceremonies of all religions, the greater becomes their apparent underlying similarity, until finally a perception of their fundamental unity is reached.
		Theosophists, therefore, are respectors of all the religions, and for the religious ethics of Jesus they have profound admiration.
		Theosophists know that the same spirit that animated the words of Jesus lies latent in the hearts of Christians, as it does naturally in all men's hearts.

	"Madame Blavatsky on the Views of the Theosophists"
		Had the Theosophists thoroughly comprehended the nature of the soul and spirit, and its relation to the body, they would have known that if the soul once left the body, it could not return.
		It is hardly to be supposed that Theosophists or any others "thoroughly" comprehend the nature of the soul and spirit, and their relation to the body.
		Such an achievement is for Omniscience; and we Theosophists, treading the path worn by the footsteps of the old sages in the moving sands of exoteric philosophy, can only hope to approximate the absolute truth.

	Spiritual Empire - Brotherhood in the Theosophical Movement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In our own day, and for Theosophists especially, recognition of a true teacher is needed, who will interpret that which the greatest sages of the world -- Titans in spirituality and in intellect -- themselves have been in their turn the noble teachers and interpreters of.
		I tell you, my Brothers, that there are such Titan-teachers in the world even today, and it is upon the construing of the ancient wisdom of the gods by these teachers that in the past has been laid the superstructure of the different religious and philosophical systems of the world.
		That is what I want, and I believe that the members of the Adyar Society and that the members of the United Lodge of Theosophists and that the members of all the various different theosophical bodies, all have pretty much the same hope and ideal latent in their souls.

		The Theosophists also called octahedral the micro-psi molecule of methane but chemists knew then that its chemical molecule was tetrahedral.
		We can more carefully examine the reasons that the Theosophists seemed to fall short of true clairvoyance, and instead be left to settle for figurative visions, and one reason may be the mechanics of these processes.
		This is strangely suggestive that even assigning the Rosicrucian rose the symbolic value of Palingenic resurrection is still underestimating the grandeur of the Rosicrucian vision, for this physics seems to be related to the mastery of space travel and terrestialization, and the final key could yet come from physics derived from Hildegard's visions.

		Theosophists can be thought of as those who have accepted the call to become part of the band of servers.
		One of our aims as Theosophists is to encourage the comparative study or the synthesis of religion, philosophy, and science, which are the major forms of human understanding of ourselves, the universe, and our grounding in Reality.
		Yet, however it is perceived and however it is articulated, the inner meaning of the three Objects is a call to live the theosophical life.

	Theosophy World — September 1996
		Many who have never heard of the Society are Theosophists without knowing it themselves; for the essence of Theosophy is the perfect harmonizing of the divine with the human in man, the adjustment of his god-like qualities and aspirations, and their sway over the terrestrial or animal passions in him.
		Theosophists have had an important role in encouraging these positive aspects of our age and we have great opportunities to further our work because of the very different atmosphere in which we live than 120 years ago.
		In my view, our challenge as Theosophists working for enlightened living in the modem world, is to preserve, treasure, and communicate the original impetus propelling the founding of the TS 120 years ago.
