The Theosophical Society and the Occult Hierarchy

""The Theosophical Society and the Occult Hierarchy"" by Annie Besant is a comprehensive exploration of the origins, beliefs, and practices of the Theosophical Society. The book delves into the society's founding in 1875 by Helena Blavatsky, its mission to promote the study of ancient wisdom and spirituality, and its connection to the occult hierarchy, a group of spiritual beings believed to guide humanity's evolution. Besant, a prominent member of the society and successor to Blavatsky, provides insight into the society's teachings on karma, reincarnation, and the nature of reality. The book also includes a detailed examination of the society's influence on the spiritual and intellectual movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Overall, ""The Theosophical Society and the Occult Hierarchy"" offers a fascinating glimpse into one of the most influential spiritual organizations of the modern era.1925.

From the beginning of the Theosophical Society, Theosophists have been strong individualists who have stressed the importance of freedom of thought. Freedom of thought includes the freedom to either affirm or reject any person's claims to occult authority. This was a matter of contention at times within the Theosophical Society and Besant raises this issue in the lectures.
