Do you ever ask yourself

You are part of the One Existence which men call God, You are divine in your origin and divine in your innermost nature, Your body is mortal; your spirit, which is your true Self, is immortal; your soul, which is the self which thinks and feels and regards itself as 'I', may win its immortality if it becomes the servant of spirit, and not otherwise.

You are here in order to discover what you really are, and to bring into activity all the powers that lie sleeping within you. Since you are, in your true nature, a part of the divine life, you have within yourself all the attributes of divinity: infinite love, infinite wisdom, infinite power. Humanity is still very young, and most of us have hardly begun the immense task of Self-discovery.
But we are here to do this very, thing, and we have all the time we need to do it.
You are going in the direction you have chosen, either drifting through life, at the mercy of events and of your own passing whims and moods, or taking adult responsibility for the whole of yourself, your character, your actions and your future. The full stature of manhood is the perfect expression of divinity in a human personality. You are choosing, at every moment, either to waste your opportunities and deny your true Self, or to accept your destiny and move consciously towards the goal of Self-realisation.

Theosophy is a word of Greek origin (theos, god, and sophia, wisdom) meaning Divine Wisdom. The word Theosophy has been in use for many centuries; the Divine Wisdom has existed from the beginning of time.
,
Theosophy has been defined many times. But Divine Wisdom cannot be enclosed within words. All statements about Theosophy are partial and tentative. Divine Wisdom, which is Truth, must be discovered in experience by each one for himself.
Theosophy stands for the knowledge of Truth. The theosophical tradition affirms that man, by exploring the deeps of his own nature, can come to the experience of Truth. This experience is Theosophy, the Divine Wisdom, the knowledge of ultimate Reality.
Theosophy stands also for the principles of existence. The theosophical tradition affirms that all life is one life; that law pervades the universe; that an evolutionary process is everywhere at work. In the sphere of human life, these principles are expressed as the brotherhood or all mankind; the unfolding of possibilities through reincarnation under the law of karma; and human perfectibility and self-transcendence.
Theosophy is the light that shines through the many-coloured lamps of religion. It is the thread of truth in scriptures, creeds, symbols, myths and rituals. The Divine Wisdom is one, the paths towards it are many.
The study of Theosophy will lead you to a fuller understanding of yourself and your true purpose in life, and will help you to UNFOLD AND BECOME WHAT YOU ARE.
The Theosophical Society lays no claim to the exclusive possession of Theosophy. It seeks to let men know that such a Wisdom exists and to assist those who will to find it.

H.P. Blavatsky

MORE ABOUT THEOSOPHY AND THE SOCIETY

Derived from the two Greek words, "Theos" (a god, the Deity) and "Sophia" (wisdom), Theosophy or Theosophia may be defined as "knowledge of divine things" or "Divine Wisdom such as that possessed by the gods". Its philosophy is a contemporary presentation of the perennial wisdom underlying the world's religions, sciences, and philosophies.

"The Society was formed to assist in showing to men that such a thing as Theosophy exists, and to help them to ascend towards it by studying and assimilating its eternal verities."
H.P. Blavatsky

"Theosophy is no new candidate for the world's attention, but only the restatement of principles which have been recognised from the very infancy of mankind."
The Mahatma Letters to A.P. Sinnett.

The Theosophical Society was founded by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, Henry Steel Olcott, William Quan Judge, and others in New York City on November 17, 1875. In 1882 the international headquarters of the Society was established at Adyar, near Madras. This remains the headquarters for the Society, which is now established in fifty countries of the world. More about history and founders.

Today, the society is composed of students, belonging to any religion in the world or to none, who are united by their approval of the Society's Objects, by their wish to remove religious antagonisms and to draw together men of goodwill whatsoever their religious opinions, and by their desire to study religious truths and to share the results of their studies with others. Their bond of union is not the profession of a common belief, but a common search and aspiration for Truth. They hold that Truth should be sought by study, by reflection, by purity of life, by devotion to high ideals, and they regard Truth as a prize to be striven for, not as dogma to be imposed by authority. They consider that belief should be the result of individual study or intuition, and not its antecedent, and should rest on knowledge, not on assertion. They extend tolerance to all, even to the intolerant; not as a privilege they bestow but as a duty they perform, and they seek to remove ignorance, not punish it. They see every religion as an expression of the Divine Wisdom and prefer its study to its condemnation, and its practice to proselytism. Peace is their watchword, as Truth is their aim.

Freedom of Thought

As the Theosophical Society has spread far and wide over the world, and as members of all religions have become members of it without surrendering the special dogmas, teachings and beliefs of their respective faiths, it is thought desirable to emphasise the fact that there is no doctrine, no opinion, by whomsoever taught or held, that is in any way binding on any member of the Society, none which any member is not free to accept or reject. Approval of its three objects is the sole condition of membership. No teacher, or writer, from H.P. Blavatsky onwards, has any authority to impose his or her teachings or opinions on members. Every member has an equal right to follow any school of thought, but has no right to force the choice on any other. Neither a candidate for any office nor any voter can be rendered ineligible to stand or to vote, because of any opinion held, or because of membership in any school of thought. Opinions or beliefs neither bestow privileges nor inflict penalties. The Members of the General Council earnestly request every member of the Theosophical Society to maintain, defend and act upon these fundamental principles of the Society, and also fearlessly to exercise the right of liberty of thought and of expression thereof, within the limits of courtesy and consideration for others.

The genuine acceptance of the Three Objects of the Society, is all that is required for membership in the Society, which is founded on the basis of the broadest tolerance and the search for truth. The following official statement should be carefully read and pondered, as it expresses the recognised standpoint of the Society as a whole
