The Theosophical Society was formed in 1875 to promote an understanding of Esoteric Teachings. These teachings, sometimes called 'The Ageless Wisdom', which was previously only available to initiates in Secret Orders has found expression down the ages in philosophies, sciences, mysticism, religions and the arts.

The Theosophical Society, now active in over 50 countries, is composed of people belonging to any belief system or to none, who have an aspiration for truth.

Central to the concerns of Theosophy is the desire to promote understanding and brotherhood among people of all races, creeds and philosophies. Devotion to truth, love for all living beings and commitment to a life of altruism marks the true Theosophical Path.

ONCE YOU'RE DEAD YOU'RE MADE FOR LIFE: KARMA & RE-BIRTH UNRAVELLED 29 January 2012  Sunday  18:00 - 19:30 Tim Wyatt Every moment of every day we live with the consequences of our thoughts, words and deeds - from this life and previous ones. Equally, we're building up karma and shaping our forthcoming incarnations by everything we're doing right now. When we learn that we're in control of our eternal existence it unleashes enormous power and a heightened sense of responsibility. We are no longer mere victims of circumstance but co-creators of our world. A member of Bradford theosophical branch, Tim Wyatt is a freelance journalist and who writes for Nosegay Books, which publishes booklets on esoteric topics. £7, £5 concessions.

THE FORBIDDEN UNIVERSE: THE OCCULT ORIGINS OF SCIENCE AND THE SEARCH FOR THE MIND OF GOD 02 February 2012  Thursday  18:45 - 21:00 Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince Based on their latest book, Lynn and Clive will reveal that science originated with the occult, although scientists are keen to deny this. But distaste for their own roots has actually prevented them from fully comprehending their own cutting-edge discoveries. Literally every one of the famous names in the Scientific Revolution - from Copernicus to Sir Isaac Newton - were directly inspired by the Hermetica, esoteric books derived from ancient Egyptian occultism. However, oddly, religion and science joined forces to remove all traces of mysticism from the annals of their histories. Although rarely acknowledged, the most modern science, particularly quantum physics, has comprehensively shown that the universe was designed - echoing the ancient cosmology of the Hermetica to an astonishing degree. Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince have co-authored eight books in the past two decades. They are best known for their 1997 The Templar Revelation, which Dan Brown acknowledged as the primary inspiration for The Da Vinci Code. Their latest title is The Forbidden Universe.
