THEOSOPHY, the Wisdom of the Ages, says: Do you ever wonder... Who are you? Why you are here? Where you are going? You are part of the One Existence which all men call God. Your body - is mortal. Your spirit, which is your true self - is immortal.
The Theosophical Society is a doorway to Theosophy:
It does not say, "Here are the teachings for your acceptance and which will make you happy and wise."
It says, "Here is a way that leads to the understanding of the oldest and most profound teachings concerning man, his nature, origin and destiny, his powers, possibilities and responsibilities. My door is open to every man; whether you stay or depart; whether you honour the teachings and pass them on in your turn; or whether you misunderstand or pollute them, is up to you entirely."
No promises are given except the old tradition: "If you live the life, you will know the truth."
The Theosophical tradition affirms that man, by exploring the depths of his own nature, can come to the experience of TRUTH, the knowledge of ultimate reality.
Theosophy is a word of Greek origin meaning "Divine Wisdom"
(theos = God; sophia = Wisdom)
The word Theosophy has been used for many centuries. The DIVINE WISDOM has existed from the beginning of time.
