theosophy united lodge of theosophists search results home meetings blavatsky writings judge writings crosbie writings other publications donations contact us united lodge of theosophists phoenix arizona a synthesis of science religion and philosophy a universal system of ethics and human unity what is theosophy theosophy is that ocean of knowledge which spreads from shore to shore of the evolution of sentient beings unfathomable in its deepest parts it gives the greatest minds their fullest scope yet shallow enough at its shores it will not overwhelm the understanding of a child it is wisdom about god for those who believe that he is all things and in all and wisdom about nature for the man who accepts the statement found in the christian bible that god cannot be measured or discovered and that darkness is around his pavilion although it contains by derivation the name god and thus may seem at first sight to embrace religion alone it does not neglect science for it is the science of sciences and therefore has been called the wisdom religion for no science is complete which leaves out any department of nature whether visible or invisible and that religion which depending solely on an assumed revelation turns away from things and the laws which govern them is nothing but a delusion a foe to progress an obstacle in the way of man s advancement toward happiness embracing both the scientific and the religious theosophy is a scientific religion and a religious science the ocean of theosophy william q judge fundamental propositions the philosophy of theosophy is founded upon the following three fundamental principles the secret doctrine volume i a an omnipresent eternal boundless and immutable principle on which all speculation is impossible since it transcends the power of human conception and could only be dwarfed by any human expression or similitude it is beyond the range and reach of thought in the words of mandukya unthinkable and unspeakable to render these ideas clearer to the general reader let him set out with the postulate that there is one absolute reality which antecedes all manifested conditioned being this infinite and eternal cause dimly formulated in the unconscious and unknowable of current european philosophy is the rootless root of all that was is or ever shall be it is of course devoid of all attributes and is essentially without any relation to manifested finite being it is be ness rather than being in sanskrit sat and is beyond all thought or speculation this be ness is symbolised in the secret doctrine under two aspects on the one hand absolute abstract space representing bare subjectivity the one thing which no human mind can either exclude from any conception or conceive of by itself on the other absolute abstract motion representing unconditioned consciousness even our western thinkers have shown that consciousness is inconceivable to us apart from change and motion best symbolises change its essential characteristic this latter aspect of the one reality is also symbolised by the term the great breath a symbol sufficiently graphic to need no further elucidation thus then the first fundamental axiom of the secret doctrine is this metaphysical one absolute be ness symbolised by finite intelligence as the theological trinity b the eternity of the universe in toto as a boundless plane periodically the playground of numberless universes incessantly manifesting and disappearing called the manifesting stars and the sparks of eternity the eternity of the pilgrim is like a wink of the eye of self existence book of dzyan the appearance and disappearance of worlds is like a regular tidal ebb of flux and reflux see part ii days and nights of brahmâ this second assertion of the secret doctrine is the absolute universality of that law of periodicity of flux and reflux ebb and flow which physical science has observed and recorded in all departments of nature an alternation such as that of day and night life and death sleeping and waking is a fact so common so perfectly universal and without exception that it is easy to comprehend that in it we see one of the absolutely fundamental laws of the universe c the fundamental identity of all souls with the universal over soul the latter being itself an aspect of the unknown root and the obligatory pilgrimage for every soul a spark of the former through the cycle of incarnation or necessity in accordance with cyclic and karmic law during the whole term in other words no purely spiritual buddhi divine soul can have an independent conscious existence before the spark which issued from the pure essence of the universal sixth principle or the over soul has a passed through every elemental form of the phenomenal world of that manvantara and b acquired individuality first by natural impulse and then by self induced and self devised efforts checked by its karma thus ascending through all the degrees of intelligence from the lowest to the highest manas from mineral and plant up to the holiest archangel dhyani buddha the pivotal doctrine of the esoteric philosophy admits no privileges or special gifts in man save those won by his own ego through personal effort and merit throughout a long series of metempsychoses and reincarnations theosophical objects the theosophical society has been in existence since november 1875 having been then founded in new york with the following objects first to form the nucleus of a universal brotherhood of humanity without distinction of race creed caste or color second to promote the study of aryan and other eastern literatures religions and sciences and demonstrate the importance of that study third to investigate unexplained laws of nature and the psychical powers latent in man declaration of the united lodge of theosophists the policy of this lodge is independent devotion to the cause of theosophy without professing attachment to any theosophical organization it is loyal to the great founders of the theosophical movement but does not concern itself with dissensions or differences of individual opinion the work it has on hand and the end it keeps in view are too absorbing and too lofty to leave it the time or inclination to take part in side issues that work and that end is the dissemination of the fundamental principles of the philosophy of theosophy and the exemplification in practice of those principles through a truer realization of the self a profounder conviction of universal brotherhood it holds that the unassailable basis for union among theosophists wherever and however situated is similarity of aim purpose and teaching and therefore has neither constitution by laws nor officers the sole bond between its associates being that basis and it aims to disseminate this idea among theosophists in the furtherance of unity it regards as theosophists all who are engaged in the true service of humanity without distinction of race creed sex condition or organization and it welcomes to its association all those who are in accord with its declared purposes and who desire to fit themselves by study and otherwise to be the better able to help and teach others the true theosophist belongs to no cult or sect yet belongs to each and all the following is the form signed by associates of the united lodge of theosophists being in sympathy with the purposes of this lodge as set forth in its declaration i hereby record my desire to be enrolled as an associate it being understood that such association calls for no obligation on my part other than that which i myself determine h p blavatsky 1831 1891 home meetings blavatsky writings judge writings crosbie writings other publications donations contact us
