Theosophy means divine wisdom | The word comes from the Greek theos, meaning god, and sophia, meaning wisdom. (The Greeks used the word 'god' to signify a divine being - not in the way we use the word in it's modern context) | | | | The origin of Theosophy is with the Ancient Egyptians in particular a priest called Pot-Amun, who lived in the early days of the Ptolemaic dynasty. It is also said that the name signifies one consecrated to Amun, the God of Wisdom.
Theosophy is a religious philosophy also known as the Wisdom Religion. It aims to impart on it's followers the 'great moral truths' sometimes referred to as the 'Jewels of Wisdom'. | Those that follow this path believe in one absolute, incomprehensible and supreme Deity, or infinite essence, which is the root of all nature, and of all that is, visible and invisible. They also believe that man has an eternal immortal nature, because, being a radiation of the Universal Soul, he is of an identical essence with it.
