Hi, Welcome to the group. Glad to hear how you found about theosophy.

One of the best FAQ's on theosophy is a book by HP Blavatsky - "Key to Theosophy". You can get a copy on-line or buy it from a bookstore or ebay. I am sure it would answer a lot of questions.

This forum has participants from all over the world and all are student of theosophy. So feel free to post any messages and surely you will get many responses and hopefully they will help you.

Hello Theos-Talk,
My friends call me Dee, living in Fayetteville, NC. I'm 31 years
old and I had lost myself somewhere and I have been on a mission to
discover me for the past year. A few months ago I discovered - or
finally come to terms - that one of the reasons that I'm having
trouble with discovering myself is that I have a form of
depression. But for the past year or so I've been conducting my
search from a spiritual perspective - and a lot of therapy sessions.
In the past year I purchased several books such as, different
versions of the Bible, the Septuagint, the Gnostic Bible, books on
paganism, I Ching, The Idiot's Guide to World Religions, meditation,
etc. Every time I went into the book store, there was this one
particular 2 book volume set that, for some reason, I was drawn to
it. I had no idea what it was or what it was about. Finally, one
day after several trips to the book store, and having some sort a
compelling feeling towards the books every time I walked down that
isle, I purchased the set , The Secret Doctrine. I read the
introduction and part of the first chapter. That's how I discovered
that there is such a thing as Theosophy. I had a difficult time
understanding what H.P.B. was saying, a lot of terms were foriegn to
me so I went back to the store and bought Isis Unveiled, hoping that
will clue me in to what every thing is about.
So here I am, joined a group in hopes of learning more about
Theosophy and maybe find some folks in my area that might be
interested in meeting up some time.



Have a Happy New Year,
Dee
