Theosophy
The word theosophy means divine wisdom and it is the religious – philosophical – cosmic – an ethical system . Since tέως ( TEOS ) in Greek means one of the divine beings, not God, in the sense that the words attributed to him today, Theosophy literally does not mean the wisdom of God, but wisdom is its own to gods.

Name theosophy was first found in Greek ( Alexandrian ) philosophers who were called lovers of truth ; the so-called filaleteiani . Thus, as the first to use the name of Ammonius Saccas and his disciples , who founded the Eclectic Theosophical system in the third century AD . The aim of this system was the transmission of certain moral truths , which are the Theosophical Society took Password : No religion is above the truth. Theosophist is a sincere seeker of truth , which of course is not necessarily a member of the Theosophical Society , as well as every member of the Theosophical Society is not necessarily true Theosophist . The comparative study and analysis as we want all the Theosophical Society to show that all the old liturgy indicate the existence of a single Theosophy over all bogočastij . ” The key to open one must open all ; otherwise the real key . “( Blavatsky , 1994, 21 ) . There is no more fertile source of hatred and conflict , such as religious differences. When the man realized that neither side knows the truth, but that they complement each other , that the whole truth can be found only in conjunction divergent views of all after they removed everything that was in them redundant , then it will be possible to base true brotherhood in faith . We have to work just because of justice itself , not because of the benefits that you would have from this . Trying to achieve political reforms before the reform human nature , it would be like pouring new wine in old barrels . True prayer is the prayer of the will , which becomes active or creative force to achieve the results that you want. But woe Occultists and Theosophists that emit strong waves will to achieve selfish or unholy purposes ! Act individually or collectively. Never put food in hungry mouth with a foreign hand.

” Theosophy is much more than a body of knowledge – it is , as evidenced by this knowledge . Theosophy is an internal ocean of life just below the surface of existence, where millions of swimmers thrash about trying desperately to keep their heads above water . “( Alan E. Donant )
a
” No book can contain Theosophy , although many speeches about it . Theosophy is not the same as its principles . In order to be able to create art and to recognize the art of others, are required principles and thus theosophy are necessary . But just as the principles of art are not art , the principles of theosophy theosophy is not . “( Alan E. Donant )

“… Whoever takes measure when there is time for action , and who takes measure as wise , he who waits , when the time for waiting , and waiting patiently , is consistent with the tide of events . Thus , together with the nature and its laws , and with truth and charity as the Soviets guiding star , works wonders . Ignorance of these laws leads to a period of irrational enthusiasm on the one hand, and depression and even despair on the other. Such a man is the victim of the tides instead of his master . “( Helena P. Blavatsky , p . 58-59 )
a
“Through life goes alone and abandoned , anyone who still thinks only of yourself ; but whoever knows how to adapt and loving all things happily rotate , who always knows where to jump to the rescue, and expending others , this life is flourishing meadow and even after death remain behind traces of his works . “( Karlin , AM , p. 51)
