Theosophy, meaning "divine wisdom," is a mystical spiritual philosophy established by Helena Blavatsky in 1875, blending Eastern traditions (Hinduism, Buddhism) with Western esotericism to explore universal truths, emphasizing a single divine reality, reincarnation, karma, and spiritual evolution, seeking universal brotherhood and investigating latent human potential through comparative study of religion, philosophy, and science. It posits that all beings are interconnected, part of a greater whole, and aims for spiritual realization through inner wisdom and service. The universe and all within it are one interdependent whole, rooted in a single divine reality. Humanity progresses through cycles of reincarnation, guided by karma (moral law) towards spiritual perfection. A core body of timeless spiritual knowledge exists, accessible through intuition, study, and mystical experience, and A focus on investigating the "unexplained laws of nature and the powers latent in humanity". funded by Helena Blavatsky, Henry Steel Olcott, and William Quan Judge, to form a nucleus of universal brotherhood, encourage comparative study, and investigate nature's mysteries. Teachings often delve into secret knowledge, hidden forces, and non-traditional understandings of divinity. Promotes a non-sectarian approach, seeing common ground in world religions and philosophies, but differs from traditional Christianity on personal God, forgiveness, and Christ's nature.
