The Theosophical Society is a worldwide organisation founded in 1875. Its primary aim is universal brotherhood without distinction of race, creed, colour, gender or social background. It is based on the realisation that life in all its diverse forms, human and non-human, is indivisibly One.
The Mission Statement of the Theosophical Society is: “To serve humanity by cultivating an ever-deepening understanding and realization of the Ageless Wisdom, spiritual Self-transformation, and the Unity of all Life.
The Society imposes no beliefs on its members, who are united by a common search for Truth and a desire to learn the meaning and purpose of existence through study, reflection, self-responsibility and self-less service. It jealously guards and promotes freedom of thought and no member may impose their views on any other.
Members of the Theosophical Society come from all walks of life and belong to any philosophy or religion, or none. They stand in unity through their acceptance of the three Objects of the Society and their aspiration to learn about the timeless teachings of Theosophy – the Esoteric Wisdom. Unity lies at the very heart of the theosophical community and inspires the lives of its members towards unselfish service and inner transformation. Divine Wisdom is One – the paths towards it are many.
Before embarking on a quest, whether it be a physical or a spiritual one, careful preparations are required. The quester should have their goal clear in their mind and be aware of the hazards and setbacks likely to be encountered along the way.
There is a place within where we can retire at any time and drink deep at the wellspring of Spiritual Wisdom. No matter what the external circumstances of our life- this inmost sanctuary remains untouched.
This presentation is based on the book – A Different Christianity – written by the English author Robin Amis, who lived and studied for several years in Mount Athos (Greece)...
We generally see imagination as a means of creating a substitute reality. But what if it is not about "make believe" but about "make real?"
