~ THEOSOPHY TRUST ~

LIBRARY






Theosophy, in its abstract meaning, is Divine Wisdom, or the aggregate of the knowledge and wisdom that underlie the Universe - the homogeneity of eternal GOOD; and in its concrete sense, it is the sum total of the same as allotted to man by nature, on this earth, and no more.

Prometheus Bound

Listen to the sad story of mankind: At first mindless, I gave them mind and reason. Not in disparagement of men do I speak. But to show my gifts were governed by good will. For seeing, they saw not; hearing, they could not listen. All their lives they passed like shapes in dreams, Confused and devoid of purpose. . . They acted without knowledge, till I came. . . . Number, chief of sciences, I invented for them, And how to set down words in writing, The skill of remembrance, mother of the Muses. . . . I distinguished the divers modes of prophecy, And was the first to discern from dreams What Fate ordains should come to be. I gave the hidden sense of voices, Sounds, sights met by chance upon the road. I guided mankind to a hidden art, And read to them the intimations of the altar-flames.
