The reader must take into consideration that the original Theosophical Society, to which H.P. Blavatsky refers in this article, ceased to exist a few years after Blavatsky’s death in 1891, when Annie Besant provoked its division after abandoning ethics and the true esoteric philosophy. Today the theosophical movement has a considerable diversity from the organizational point of view. There are also several schools of theosophical thought. The Independent Lodge of Theosophists, ILT, was founded on 14 September 2016 and tries to work according to the original teachings of theosophy, which do not include the dead-letter approach of mere repetition. The small ILT says “The Mahatma Letters” and “The Letters from the Masters of the Wisdom” are among the most important works in the esoteric literature of all time, for they provide students with a key to study and understand universal literature.
What is Theosophy?
This question has been so often asked, and misconception so widely prevails, that the editors of a journal devoted to an exposition of the world’s Theosophy would be remiss were its first number issued without coming to a full understanding with their readers. But our heading involves two further queries: What is the Theosophical Society; and what are the Theosophists? To each an answer will be given.
