Theosophy lecture by Mrs Besant at the temple
Mrs Annie Besant, a leading Theosophist, spoke at the Masonic Temple on Tuesday evening. She discussed Blavatsky, the growth of Theosophy, hypnotism, and reincarnation, noting Theosophy aims at universal brotherhood and spiritual advancement. She declined to confirm Bible or Christ as the word of God, saying sacred texts hold truths allegorically and Jesus was a moral teacher within the brotherhood of initiates. The interview touched on heaven and hell as stages between incarnations and the divine in all beings.
