Who are we, human beings? Whence did we come from? Where are we going? and, Is there any purpose behind our existence? These are legitimate questions mankind has been asking for millennia. Religions speak of mysteries, and science confesses ignorance, except for that sector of the scientific community who believes that the Universe started as a "fortuitous concurrence of atoms". Not a very scientific conclusion, this one. There is, however, a source of information that posits some viable hypotheses that may represent reasonable answers to the aforementioned fundamental questions on human existence. Theosophy is not a religion, and much less a sect or a cult, as some have labeled it as a result of ignorance. It is an ancient school of thought revived in the 19th Century by a woman named Helena Petrovna Blavatsky mainly through her two monumental treatises: "Isis Unveiled" and "Th e Secret Doctrine". The two works continue to be published today and sell increasingly more than when fi rst published. Th ere are no dogmas in Theosophy, but merely the delivery of esoteric information we are invited to examine, ponder over and then determine its validity. It has been said that any philosophy that has no impact on the manner in which its students will live their lives is a waste of time, a useless, dry literary exercise. The author of this book has witnessed the deep change taking place in the lives of those who have studied Theosophy, himself included, enriching and ennobling their lives.
