Living Truth – The Future of the Theosophical Society (Blavatsky Lecture 2005)
34 Pages | First edition 2006 | Softcover | Theosophical Publishing House, Adyar | ISBN:
The Theosophical Society exists for the regeneration of humanity, beginning with establishing a nucleus of Universal Brotherhood, encouraging an open-minded quest for Truth, and investigating the essence of man and the universe. Because this is the main thrust of the Society, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1831 - 1891), co-founder of tbe Theosophical Society with Colonel Steel Olcott (1832 - 1907), discussed what would ensure the stability of the Society's work and its future in her book The Key to Theosophy.
The 'Blavatsky Lecture' discusses in depth what she regarded as necessary for continuing the work of regeneration without a break. Apart from essential qualifications like earnestness, selflessness, devotion, knowledge and wisdom, 'living truth' must dynamize the workers of the Theosophical Society. But what is 'living truth'? The reader will learn by perusing this lecture and realize how much we can ensure peace and goodness upon the earth.
From page 22:
" . . . we never accept on faith any authority upon any question whatsoever; nor, pursuing as we do, Truth and progress through a full and fearless enquiry, untrammelled by any consideration, would we advise any of our friends to do otherwise. " - Blavatsky - CW II, p. 433.
