Foundation of the Original Theosophical Society 1875
The first
Theosophical Society (1875-1896) was founded in New York on
November 17th
1875 by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky,
Colonel Henry Steel Olcott, William Quan Judge and others.
The Theosophical
Movement now consists of a diverse range of
organizations which
carry the Theosophical Tradition forward.

Ten Benefits of Studying the Blavatskyan
Theosophical Teachings
Studying
the Blavatskyan Theosophical teachings offers numerous benefits that can
greatly enrich one's understanding of spirituality, philosophy, and the nature
of reality. Theosophy, as defined by the
writings of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, has had a profound impact on the
spiritual and philosophical landscape of the modern world. Blavatsky's
teachings draw from a wide range of religious and philosophical traditions,
including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Western esotericism, and present a
comprehensive worldview that addresses fundamental questions about existence,
consciousness, and the cosmos.
Here
are ten benefits of studying the Blavatskyan Theosophical Teachings
1.
Exploration of Esoteric Wisdom
One of
the primary benefits of studying the Blavatskyan Theosophical teachings is the
opportunity to explore esoteric wisdom that is often not readily accessible in
mainstream religious or philosophical traditions. Blavatsky's writings delve
into the esoteric teachings of ancient cultures and mystery schools, shedding
light on profound spiritual truths that have been passed down through the ages.
By delving into these esoteric teachings, students of Theosophy can gain
insights into the nature of consciousness, the structure of the cosmos, and the
evolution of the soul or immortal self.
2.
Synthesis of Eastern and Western Philosophy
Blavatsky's
Theosophical teachings synthesize elements of Eastern and Western philosophy,
offering a comprehensive framework that integrates concepts from diverse
cultural and religious traditions. This synthesis provides students with a
broader perspective on philosophical and spiritual thought, allowing them to
see the underlying unity of seemingly disparate belief systems. By studying
Theosophy, individuals can gain a deeper appreciation for the universal
principles that underlie all wisdom traditions, fostering a sense of unity and
interconnectedness with the world's spiritual heritage.
3.
Understanding of Universal Brotherhood
Central
to Blavatsky's Theosophical teachings is the principle of universal
brotherhood, which emphasizes the essential unity of all beings and the
interconnectedness of life. By studying Theosophy, individuals can develop a
profound understanding of the interconnected nature of existence, recognizing
that all living beings are fundamentally linked and that compassion and empathy
are essential for the evolution of humanity. This understanding can lead to a
greater sense of empathy, kindness, and social responsibility, fostering a more
harmonious and compassionate society.
4.
Insight into the Nature of Reality
The
Blavatskyan Theosophical teachings offer profound insights into the nature of
reality, consciousness, and the unseen dimensions of existence. Through the
study of Theosophy, individuals can explore concepts such as the
multi-dimensional nature of the universe, the existence of subtle energy
realms, and the interconnectedness of the material and spiritual planes. This
exploration can lead to a deeper understanding of the nature of reality beyond
the limitations of the physical senses, opening up new vistas of perception and
understanding.
5.
Personal Spiritual Growth
Studying
the Theosophical teachings can be a transformative journey that facilitates personal
spiritual growth and self-discovery. Blavatsky's writings offer practical
guidance for inner development, including meditation practices, ethical
principles, and the cultivation of spiritual virtues. By applying these
teachings to their lives, individuals can experience profound personal
transformation, leading to greater self-awareness, inner peace, and a sense of
purpose and meaning.
6.
Ethical and Moral Guidance
The
Theosophical teachings provide a comprehensive ethical and moral framework that
can guide individuals in their personal and social interactions. Blavatsky
emphasizes the importance of ethical conduct, altruism, and the pursuit of
wisdom, offering practical guidance for leading a virtuous and meaningful life.
By studying Theosophy, individuals can gain clarity on moral issues, cultivate
a sense of ethical responsibility, and contribute to the greater good of
humanity.
7.
Appreciation of Comparative Religion
The
study of Theosophy encourages an appreciation of comparative religion and the
underlying unity of religious and spiritual traditions. Blavatsky's writings
explore the common threads that run through the world's religions, highlighting
universal spiritual principles that transcend cultural and historical
boundaries. By gaining a deeper understanding of comparative religion through
Theosophy, individuals can develop a more inclusive and pluralistic
perspective, fostering interfaith harmony and mutual respect.
8.
Intellectual Stimulation
The
Theosophical teachings offer a rich and intellectually stimulating framework
for exploring profound philosophical and metaphysical concepts. Blavatsky's
writings encompass a wide range of subjects, including cosmology, metaphysics,
ancient wisdom, and the evolution of consciousness, providing ample material
for intellectual inquiry and contemplation. By engaging with these teachings,
individuals can expand their intellectual horizons, develop critical thinking
skills, and gain a deeper understanding of the fundamental questions that have
intrigued philosophers and mystics throughout history.
9.
Healing and Reconciliation
The
Theosophical teachings offer insights into the nature of healing and
reconciliation, both on a personal and collective level. Blavatsky's writings delve
into the esoteric principles of healing, the nature of disease, and the
interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. By studying Theosophy,
individuals can gain a deeper understanding of holistic healing modalities, the
power of the mind in influencing health, and the potential for spiritual
transformation through the healing process. Furthermore, the Theosophical
emphasis on universal brotherhood and compassion can contribute to the
reconciliation of divisions and conflicts within society, fostering a more
harmonious and peaceful world.
10.
Contribution to Global Transformation
Finally,
studying the Blavatskyan Theosophical teachings can empower individuals to
contribute to the ongoing global transformation towards a more enlightened and
compassionate world. Blavatsky's vision of a spiritually awakened humanity,
working towards the betterment of all beings, inspires individuals to engage in
positive action and service to humanity. By embodying the principles of
Theosophy in their lives, individuals can become agents of positive change,
working towards the realization of a more just, peaceful, and sustainable
world.
In
summary, the study of the Blavatskyan Theosophical teachings offers a wide
range of benefits, ranging from personal spiritual growth to the potential for
global transformation. By delving into the esoteric wisdom, ethical principles,
and philosophical insights of Theosophy, individuals can expand their
understanding of the nature of reality, cultivate compassion and empathy, and
contribute to the evolution of humanity towards a more harmonious and
enlightened future. As the Theosophical teachings continue to inspire and guide
seekers of truth and wisdom, their profound impact on individuals and society
is likely to endure for generations to come.

In response to a

Cardiff
Theosophical Society's position regarding a recent
change in the structure of the Adyar Based Theosophical Society.
Cardiff
Theosophical Society in Wales is not affiliated to
either the Adyar
(India) Based Theosophical Society or the
Theosophical

by the decision
last year of the Theosophical Society in England
