Theosophy (from Greek θεοσοφία theosophia, from θεός theos,
divine + σοφία sophia, wisdom; literally "divine wisdom"),
refers to systems of esoteric philosophy
concerning, or investigation seeking direct knowledge of, presumed mysteries of
being and nature, particularly concerning the nature of divinity.
Theosophy is considered a part of
the broader field of esotericism, referring to
hidden knowledge or wisdom that offers the individual enlightenment and
salvation. The word esoteric dates back to the 2nd century CE.[1] The theosophist seeks to understand the
mysteries of the universe and the bonds that unite the universe, humanity, and
the divine. The goal of theosophy is to explore the origin of divinity and
humanity, and the world. From investigation of those topics, theosophists try
to discover a coherent description of the purpose and origin of the universe.
