    Theosophy

    Divine Wisdom has alway been around, yet only in 1875 was a modern theo-sophia put forth by HP Blavatsky and her friends and gurus. Here is an article, "Some Words on Daily Life" published in 1888, by one of the theosophic Adepts:

    http://www.katinkahesselink.net/blav.../yxxxx_020.htm

    How it begins:

    It is divine philosophy alone, the spiritual and psychic blending of man with nature, which,
    by revealing the fundamental truths, that lie hidden under the objects of sense and
    perception, can promote a spirit of unity and harmony in spite of the great diversities of
    conflicting creeds. Theosophy, therefore, expects and demands from the Fellows of the
    Society a great mutual toleration and charity for each others shortcomings, ungrudging
    mutual help in the search for truths in every department of nature -- moral and physical.
    And this ethical standard must be unflinchingly applied to daily life.
    Theosophy should not represent merely a collection of moral verities, a bundle of
    metaphysical ethics, epitomized in theoretical dissertations. Theosophy must be made
    practical; and it has, therefore, to be disencumbered of useless digressions, in the sense of
    desultory orations and fine talk. Let every Theosophist only do his duty, that which he can
    and ought to do, and very soon the sum of human misery, within and around the areas of
    every Branch of your Society, will be found visibly diminished. Forget SELF in working for
    others -- and the task will become an easy and a light one for you . . . . .

    I don't know man......... this sounds like alot of gobbledygook.

    I like writings that are clear and get to the point. This is torturous.

    BTW..... I'm familiar with HP Blavatsy..... as a young man I read some of her stuff.
