An Outline
of Theosophy
By
Charles
Webster Leadbeater
Theosophy
– What It Is
For many a year men have been discussing arguing,
enquiring about certain great basic truths – about the existence and the Nature
of God, about His relation to man, and about the past and future of
humanity. So radically have they
differed
on these points, and so bitterly have they assailed
and ridiculed one another’s beliefs, that there has come to be a firmly-rooted
popular opinion that with regard to all these matters there is no certainty
available – nothing but vague speculation amid a cloud of unsound deductions
drawn from ill-established premises. And this in spite of the very definite,
though frequently incredible, assertions made on these subjects on behalf of
the various religions.
This popular opinion, though not unnatural under the
circumstances, is entirely untrue. There are definite facts available – plenty
of them. Theosophy gives them to us; but it offers them not (as religions do)
as matters of faith, but as subjects for study. It is itself not a religion,
but it bears to religions the same relation as did the ancient philosophies. It
does not contradict them, but explains them.
Whatever in any of them is unreasonable, it rejects as
necessarily unworthy of the Deity and derogatory to Him; whatever is reasonable
in each and all of them it takes up, explains and emphasises, and thus combines
all into one harmonious whole.
It holds that truth on all these most important points
is attainable – that there is a great body of knowledge about them already
existing. It considers all the various religions as statements of that truth
from different points of view; since, though they differ much as to
nomenclature and as to articles of belief, they all agree as to the only matter
which are of real importance – the kind of life which a good man should lead,
the qualities which he must develop, the vices which he must avoid. On these
practical points the teaching is identical in Hinduism and Buddhism, in
Zoroasterianism and Muhammadanism, in Judaism and Christianity.
Theosophy may be described to the outside world as an
intelligent theory of the universe. Yet for those who have studied it, it is
not theory, but fact; for it is a definite science, capable of being studied,
and its teachings are verifiable by investigation and experiment for those who
are willing to take the trouble to qualify themselves for such enquiry.
It is a statement of the great facts of Nature so far
as they are known – an outline of the scheme of our
corner of the universe.
