Theosophists must excuse me for once more butting in where I no longer have any business. I was thinking just now about where the Theosophical Movement went wrong. When did, in Blavatsky‘s words, the chain get broken? Part of me thinks the chain... Read More

I’m no longer a member of the Theosophical Society
This morning I revoked my membership of the Theosophical Society. Many of you will have seen this coming, of course. Since I’ve been so very visible a member, I think I owe you all something of an explanation. First off: my online work... Read More
Is theosophy boring?
An editor of our Dutch magazine ‘Theosofia’ told me once that theosophy was boring. She said it with a self-evident air, even while she clearly felt the magazine ought to be made… I was amazed: I had never considered theosophy boring.... Read More
Four possible paths for the Theosophical Society (Adyar)

On a new theosophical blog, Esoteric Philosophy, Carlos Cardoso Aveline (a former member of the Adyar TS) notes: According to some, the fact that Radha Burnier is the seventh international president means that she closes a whole septenary cycle from... Read More
What’s the theosophical work?
We live in strange times. I grew up saving newspaper clippings of interesting facts, stories and opinions I’d found. My parents did the same. Why? Because the only way to be sure of details that were important, was to keep track of them somehow.... Read More
