'The Ancient Wisdom' book, by Annie Besant.

-=- The book. -=-


Theosophy is the topic important for everyone with Spiritual Aspirations.

This book was written by Annie Besant, important student of Madame Helena Blavatsky.

Madame Blavatsky, was a Russian and American mystic and writer who co-founded the Theosophical Society (Theosophy means 'God's Wisdom'; Theo: God/Godly, Sophia: Wisdom) in 1875. She gained an international following as the primary founder of Theosophy as a belief system. Later in her life, Madame Blavatsky converted to Buddhism.

This book has important spiritual topics as Planes of Existence and of Unity Underlying all Religions.

Planes of existence explained include:
- The Physical Plane,
- The Astral Plane,
- The Mental Plane,
- The Buddhic and Nirvanic Planes.

... i do not know (yet) if there are other planes, and how these are called.

As for Unity underlying all Religions, i have following Truth definition:

'Truth is what brings together instead of separating, but honesty is also important'.

I accept other Truth definitions too (but not all), as I don't have 'Monopoly on Truth'. I like those who believe that Truth and Honesty are the same thing, but as for myself - I am not that good, unfortunately.

There are also other topics in this book, including the topics of Karma and Reincarnation.

Knowledge about Planes of Existence has it’s uses in Spiritual and Magickal Practices.
