History of theosophy

a
As Theosophists throughout the history of the spread of ideas, were new-platonic large community, which belonged to different religious beliefs. At that time, the Jew Aristobulus argued that Aristotle’s ethics represents the esoteric teachings of Moses Law; Philo Judaeus endeavored to coordinate the Pentateuch with the Pythagorean and Plato’s philosophy; Josephus has proved that the Essenes from Karmel were the only copyists and imitators of Egyptian therapists or healers. Thus, we can show the origin of every Christian religions and sects minimum. They are twigs, which have grown from the main branches, but both branches as tiny sprouts growing from the same trunk – RELIGION OF WISDOM. Ammonius goal was to prove. He tried to convince the pagans, Christians, Jews and idolaters, to settle simple quarrels and fights done and to remember to believe the truth all the same with different names and that they children of single mothers. Each founder of a new religion, sect or school of philosophy is necessarily a Theosophist. Therefore, theosophy, as Theosophists have been in existance, from the time when man began instinctively look for the means to express their independent views. In this sense, the theosophy is ancient wisdom – Religion, the esoteric doctrine , which was once known in every country. From it were published in all major religions and philosophy, taught him all the wise men , who appeared on earth, from Jesus to Buddha , from the Babylonian sky by the Greek Hermes.
