Theosophy

Theosophy is a belief system with roots dating back to the Greek age. The name is derived from "Theos", meaning "god(s)", and "sophia" meaning "wisdom", or "divine wisdom". In line with this etymology, Theosophy has three Objects : Because of these Objects, Theosophy can be said to be a path to enlightenment or godhood. Theosophy shares ideals with Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, and Hermeticism, among other beliefs.
 * To form a nucleus of the universal brotherhood of humanity without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste, or colour
 * To encourage the study of comparative religion, philosophy, and science
 * To investigate unexplained laws of Nature and the powers latent in human beings

Theosophy as an organisation was established in the mid-1850s, attributed to William Q Judge, Henry Olcott, and Helena Blavatsky. Since then, Theosophy has branched off from its roots and since evolved into its modern state. Despite its multiple organisations, the base Ojects still remain a core value of Theosophy.
