THEOSOPHY: Exploring the True Nature of Human Belief in God or Spirit...

The term "Theosophy" literally means the philosophical exploration of theology - the study of the true nature of human belief in God or Spirit.

While religious belief and spirituality may be as old as mankind, theosophy was only recently introduced by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky in the late 1800's (for more about Madame Blavatsky see the links below).

Theosophical study sets itself apart from religion primarily by its emphasis on personal experience, versus blind faith and dogma.

While certain principles are put forth, such as the concepts of unity and oneness, and that there is a "God" or universal intelligence behind all matter, the student is asked to test these hypotheses in order to reach a state of inner knowing versus belief.

Until recently, only inner knowing through personal internal experience was possible when attempting to confirm the truth of these theosophical ideas.

Today, we have modern science in the form of quantum physics, and technologies that can detect extremely subtle forms of energy, making it possible to confirm with hard evidence whether or not universal fields and higher intelligence really exists.

Discovery of the Zero Point Field provides evidence that all things are connected. Also, the wave structure of matter points to the true non-physical nature of the physical world. In addition, extremely sensitive equipment can now detect something called "Heart Intelligence" - a form of energy and information the seems to activate human DNA, transmits thoughts and emotional information between people, animals and plants, and may have far reaching effects upon the planet and our environment.

The study of Theosophy can provide valuable insight into the metaphysical aspects of religion and spirituality.

By remaining free of dogma and blind faith, theosophical exploration into the true nature of God or Spirit continues to evolve, allowing science and new technologies to play a role in the ongoing discovery of the true nature of the Universe, and how we choose to live our lives in it.
