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.
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.
Believe it or not, this is all I know about the subject. However, I have been engaged in the “science” of physics self taught, for some time. I seek “to understand the mysteries of the universe and the bonds that unite the universe, humanity, and”… well the bonds that unite the material universe and the human or biological systems, at least.
The divine is immutable and can not be studied apart from his creation -and what he himself has to say of it; or to it. And the immaterial universe is as yet a total enigma to even the most ardent and inspired believer.
Certain aspects of life in heaven can be determined by logic. Satan and the demon hoard’s ouster from heaven or the place of God (Jehovah or YHWH) can be gleaned from what is said of their being preserved in pits of dense darkness.
Presumably heaven has no solid matter such as would furnish the solar system or its like. In which case the “pits” would be a fence of the guardian angels set to preclude any of god’s servants from suffering disaster by viewing him. Such a shield would allow direct address to Jehovah -as in the beginning of the book of Job 1 vs 6:

The term theosophy is more properly reserved for the reverse process of contemplating the divine in order to discover the content of the concrete universe.
Nothing in my blog is particularly designed to lead you astray from your religion. It is hoped I may lead you out of the pits of darkness from some of our more “glaring” science; which are “springs without water and mists driven along before a tempest, for whom is reserved forever the gloom of darkness.” Meteorology especially it is in the dark ages still.
Three centuries of renaissance and where has it moved past computer models and 5 day forecasts?
What can I say about geology?
What can anyone say?

That’s what!
The idea that Satan was free to roam the planet and see things, required access to light, that is: sunlight and yet be confined to hell where there is, again, the light of eternal flames is a matter for religions not science as such. I’d like to keep away from all of that if I can. (But I can’t.)
Certain aspects of life in heaven can be determined, as I said, by logic.
Satan and the demon hoard’s ouster from heaven (or the place of God) for example required only that the new king (Jesus) commanded all the guards to step aside from between God and the demons.
Their standing on the edge of the immaterial universe would require the demons (Satan with them) to take a last leave and beat an hasty retreat to planet earth where they have been enjoying a century of fear -as the editor of the New Republic once said (but not about them.)
To believe in God but not that there is an aspect to our spirituality that is personally catered for by higher offices than world governments/or stymied by seriously demented agencies, is to understand nothing of life. Babies know more about life, with their beliefs in father Christmas and the like.
The whole plot and counter-plot envisioned by Moses in the above book, whether you believe it is literal or not, answers so many questions about “knowing man’s” ignorance, stupidities and spitefulnesses.
Whether or not the world would be a better place if we all treated every person we met as a friend, at least initially, rather than judging him by his demeanour, his colour his language or his wealth etcetera, would change your particular lifestyle to a better one.
If you are coloured by a person’s race and hold it against him that his parents were born in another country it does more than mark you as stupid. It taints you from a full life. And cuts you off from the larger section of humanity, everyone else seems to be able to get along with (or not, as history shows.)
Ah well. It’s a nice idea.
What I am going to show is that one part of the world is connected to another part of the world. Every part of the world is intimately connected to every other part of the world. In meteorology this is called teleconnection. What I aim to show if I can’t prove, is that all the earth sciences are intimately connected.
What I would like you to consider is that the immaterial universe is connected intimately to the material one too. Cosmologist argue that the universe will eventually collapse. Either that or keep on expanding until death do us part. If the universe expands sufficiently we will all die. And of course if it collapses…
The alternative is that God has it nicely balanced, to the exact subatomic particle and that it can go on spinning forever. But where did it get the spin originally and why is chirality (hand) the hand of god?
