THEOSOPHY isn’t in the world solely for the spiritual benefit of its member groups. It aims to reach far more than helping a few individuals.
The Theosophical Society’s most important aim, William Q. Judge head of the American Section wrote (Letters, p. 71), is to “change the buddhi and manas [Sk.] of the human race,” – i.e, its heart and mind.
But there are powerful, unavoidable barriers to inner change, all of our own making. They are our physical senses, habits, emotions, thought sensations, embedded worldviews. They compete for our time and attention, keeping us glued to the outer surface of an ever-whirling wheel.
It’s a puzzle for the brain mind, because like an iceberg, the bulk of our nature lies below the surface, and only the tip is visible — just as an actor’s outer image, her costume, makeup, tone of voice, etc., sets our opinion of her.
But, in spiritual terms, the merry-go-round of personality is a trap.
The word personality itself derives from “persona,” a Latin word meaning “mask,” the appearance we present to the world — a marketing device also used by artists and musicians. Persona is also a the Jungian psychological term.
But, if true spiritual wisdom is kept alive in the world, Mme. Blavatsky wrote, “man’s mental and psychic growth will proceed in harmony with his moral improvement.”
In her conclusion to The Key to Theosophy, Blavatsky notes that if humanity’s spiritual progress is successful, our material surroundings “will reflect the peace and fraternal goodwill which will reign in the mind
— instead of the discord and strife which is everywhere around us apparent today.”
The original aims of Theosophy seem to have indeed survived worldly snares, and just as foreseen, the new cycle is witnessing the rise of many dedicated new age thought leaders and frontier scientists, infusing a radical new theosophical paradigm into science, religion, philosophy and society.

In addition to many of the new age leaders we’ve often featured here: Bruce Lipton, Dean Radin, Acharya Sanning, Rupert Sheldrake, etc., there are hundreds of thinkers, scientists and researchers with spiritual convictions today.
It would appear we are immersed in a sea change of worldviews, a Western spiritual movement influenced by transforming, theosophical ideas.
Ω
GOD concepts are in mainstream science’s opinion unscientific because they have no way to explain or measure the idea of deity.
LOVE in its most unselfish form was described by H. P. Blavatsky as the “absence of every ill-feeling , selfishness, charity, goodwill to all beings.” 
A COMMON sense critic of scientific pretensions, who has wit, sanity and elevated moral intelligence all wrapped up in one person, is difficult to ignore.
