| | 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. | | | Adherents of Theosophy maintain that it is a "body of truth" that forms the basis of all religions. | | | Theosophy is similar to the beliefs of the Hindu Arya Samaj sect concerning Karma, Dharma, and Cosmogony. |

| | Theosophy and Anthroposophy in Russia |
| | 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 however is first of all the religion of love and freedom, and not of justice and commensurability with law. | | | Theosophy is a contemporary gnosticism, it wants to give the human soul neither a religious faith nor abstract scientific knowledge, but rather an entire all-wise knowledge. |

| | Christian theosophy: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com - All about Christian theosophy |
| | Christian Theosophy is a term used to designate the knowledge of God and of the Christ obtained by the direct intuition of the Divine essence, but with a Christian distinctive. | | | Comparative mythology alleges that religion was originally the result of man's ignorance and that it will disappear with the gradual increase of knowledge, whereas Theosophy teaches that religion comes from Divine knowledge, and that Divine knowledge comes from Theosophy. | | | It considers the different religions as methods adopted by man in his continuing search for God; thus all religions are branches of a single tree. |

| | 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. | | | We do not see that the Christian Church has so much improved on that exoteric idea of the Manicheans, for she calls God her King of Light, and Satan, the King of Darkness, to this day. | | | The personage who is named in the first four chapters of Genesis variously as "God," the "Lord God," and "Lord" simply, is not one and the same person; certainly it is not Jehovah. |

| | 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 |
| | According to J.K. Baalen, 'Theosophy, or Divine Wisdom is the apostate child of Spiritism mixed with Buddhism. | | | Madame Blavatsky's Theosophy was nothing less than an attempt to synthesize Bramanism [an aspect of Hinduism], Buddhism and Occultism into a new religion. | | | 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. |

| | Theosophy by Annie Besant |
| | 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. | | | To realise this, and thus to know oneself to be one with God, is the aim of Theosophy, as of all true Religion. | | | The inward spiritual grace is the blessing poured out on the child by the surrounding Angels, his admission to the community of Christians in this and other worlds, and the welcome extended to him by the invisible and visible Christian Church. |

| | Theosophy: Mystical Inner Teachings of Christianity |
| | 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. | | | Literally, the word “theosophy” refers to the “Wisdom of God,&; and traditionally it refers to those who, through spiritual practice, directly experience divine wisdom. | | | This indifference to outward forms or beliefs is in fact an important aspect of theosophy itself, for it is why the theosophers have never formed a sect or institution. |

| | Lindisfarne Books - Theosophia |
| | Where mainstream Christianity seems "anti-nature," Christian theosophy affirms a profound nature-mysticism; where it seems anti-erotic, theosophy affirms a powerful religious eroticism; and where it is portrayed as rigidly patriarchal, theosophy affirms a mysticism founded in the divine Sophia, the feminine personification of wisdom. | | | Theosophia traces the long-hidden esoteric stream of Christian gnostic theosophy, revealing a "chivalric" religion of the Holy Spirit at the heart of Christianity. | | | It shows that all three major branches of Christianity bear within them interrelated esoteric traditions. |

| | Androgyny in Christianity (Summary of Dissertation) |
| | 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). | | | 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. | | | At the same time this book provides the basis (now available in Dutch:) for a comparison of androgyny in other, particularly Eastern religions, with androgyny in Christianity (in which comparison also the Jewish and the Islamic traditions should then be involved). |
