Theos-Talk Archives (January 2006 Message tt00178)

Curiously enough, at one time - around 
1929/30, if I remember right - the Point Loma 
University and Mystery School issued 
Theosophical degrees and diplomas.
You could have been a "Minister of Divinity" 
or a "Master of Theosophy".
Gottfried de Purucker's doctor title was from 
that University, if I remember right.
The Point Loma University had a high and 
serious standing among the state Universities 
and they liked to take over former Point Loma 
students.
GdeP dropped the degrees, when upon his 
Fraternization Movement the co-operation with 
the Adyar TS increased, in order not to 
trouble them.

Subject: Theos-World New Wisdom University


Here is an interesting item I ran into at 
www.newwisdomuniversity.org:.

*"New Wisdom University is dedicated to the 
dissemination of the New Wisdom
through courses, seminars, workshops, 
publications, and public
presentations. A mystery school sponsored by 
Kuthumi (also known as Koot
Humi)-one of the founders of the Theosophical 
Society-the university opened
its doors on May 1, 2003."*

I imagine the institution may be awarding 
degrees such as masters and phd
and so on .... and we can all become wise (at 
a nominal expense in US$) as
well as show off to the world and our 
brothers and sisters the level
of wisdom with impressive titles like some of 
our brother/sister
theosophists in theosophical organizations.
