Theosophy, a profound spiritual philosophy, was founded by the remarkable Madame Helena Blavatsky in 1889. This esoteric belief system delves into the depths of human consciousness and explores the intricate connections between spirituality, science, and philosophy. At its core, Theosophy embraces the concept of chakras as energy centers within our bodies that influence our physical and spiritual well-being. These ancient energy points were first documented in 1696 by Theosophist Chakras, highlighting their significance in understanding our inner selves. Madame Helena Blavatsky herself was an enigmatic figure—an influential Russian author who dedicated her life to unraveling mystical truths. She co-founded the Theosophical Society in 1875, leaving an indelible mark on occultism and spirituality. One notable individual influenced by Theosophy was Jiddu Krishnamurti—a self-proclaimed New Messiah from East India. His teachings resonated with those seeking enlightenment through self-discovery and liberation from societal constraints. The roots can be traced back centuries ago when Robert Fludd's diagram depicted the interconnectedness between God and the manifest world. Combining philosophical wisdom with hidden truths, Fludd's work exemplified what he termed "theosophical" insights. Jacob Behmen further expanded upon these principles with his seminal work on universal truths—revealing deep insights into the nature of existence itself. Figuratively represented as "fig. 1, " Behmen's writings shed light on fundamental aspects that underpin all things. Throughout history, numerous individuals have embraced this profound philosophy—one such example being Clara M. Codd whose cast plaque embodies her dedication to Theosophy in 1923. Her artistic expression serves as a testament to how deeply this belief system resonates with individuals across time. Helena Petrovna Blavatsky's legacy lives on even after her passing in 1891.
