Theos-Talk Archives (June 2003 Message tt00045)

Hi all of you,

Yes.
And H. P. Blavatsky (HPB) states the following:

"THEOSOPHIST. .Individuals in every age have more or less clearly
apprehended the Theosophical doctrines and wrought them into a fabric of
their lives. These doctrines belong exclusively to no religion, and are
confined to no society or time. These are the birthright of every human
soul. Such a thing as orthodoxy must be wrought out by each individual
according to his nature and needs, and according to his varying experience.
This may explain why those who imagined Theosophy to be a new religion have
hunted in vain for its creed and its ritual. Its creed is Loyalty to Truth,
and its ritual 'To honour every truth by use'.". And later.

"ENQUIRER. Which system do you prefer to follow, in that case, besides
Buddhistic ethics?

THEOSOPHIST. None, and all. We hold to no religion and to no philosophy in
particular: we cull the good we find in each. But here, again, it must be
stated that, like all other ancient systems, Theosophy is divided into
Exoteric and Esoteric sections."
(The Key to Theosophy by HPB; Section 2)
