as
defined by the writings of Helena

WHAT IS THEOSOPHY ?
The word Theosophy is derived from the Greek THEOS (god) and SOPHIA
(wisdom)which can be translated as Divine Wisdom, Wisdom Religion or in the
modern interpretation as Ageless Wisdom. The word Theosophy has been in use for
centuries.
Theosophy examines the underlying elements of basic
wisdom or thought of various religious teachings that have been important in
the development of humankind. This examination does not seek to draw anyone
away from the religion that he or she belongs to, but to give a rational
explanation and interpretation of the inner meanings of the creeds and
ceremonies of religion.
Theosophy is not a religion since is has no dogma,
creed, or ritual.

Quotes
from the Writings of
Helena
Petrovna Blavatsky
The Secret Doctrine , Volume 2, Page 100
It is only by the attractive force of the contrasts
that the two opposites — Spirit and Matter — can be cemented together on
Earth, and, smelted in the fire of self-conscious experience and suffering, find
themselves wedded in Eternity.
The Secret Doctrine , Volume 2, Page 108
It is the motive, and the motive alone, which makes
any exercise of power become black, malignant, or white, beneficent Magic. It is
impossible to employ spiritual forces if there is the slightest tinge of selfishness
remaining in the operator .... The powers and forces of animal nature can
equally be used by the selfish and revengeful, as by the unselfish and the
all-forgiving; the powers and forces of spirit lend themselves only to the
perfectly pure in heart — and this is Divine Magic.
Isis Unveiled,
Volume 1, Page 36
The Secret Doctrine , Volume 3, Page 14
Even ignorance is better than
Head-learning with no Soul-wisdom to illuminate and guide it.

From strength to
strength, from the beauty and perfection of one plane to the
greater beauty
and perfection of another, with accessions of new glory, of fresh
knowledge and
power in each cycle, such is the destiny of every Ego, which thus
becomes its own
saviour in each world and incarnation.
