Modern Theosophy

Theosophy is divine (theos) wisdom (sophia). Theosophists are those who seek this divine wisdom. Divine knowledge is beyond the mind (manas) - and is called Buddhi in Sanskrit. It implies that beyond logical thought is real truth. This truth is accessible through intuition - and has as much to do with mystical experience as it has to do with objective truth.

More on Modern Theosophy

Modern theosophist generally believe in karma and reincarnation. This belief is not mandatory, because theosophists are free to believe in whatever they choose to.

Well known theosophists include H.P. Blavatsky, H.S. Olcott, C.W. Leadbeater and Annie Besant.
