Designed to aid students in their search for truth, these correspondence
courses examine the mysteries of life, the rationale of rebirth, and the
laws of nature which, when understood, help unfold our spiritual potential.
FORMAT
Each course is composed of lessons with questions to be answered and returned
for comments. Some questions require answers that summarise the author's
explanation, others seek the student's ideas. Succeeding lessons are sent
with the reply. There is no time limit - students go at their own pace.
REQUIREMENTS
New students are encouraged to begin with Theosophy 1 and progress through
these guided courses. In this way they will become acquainted with Theosophic
terms and concepts. Students with a background in theosophy may enrol
in any of the courses.
TUITION for courses is free.
CHARGES
There is a one-off registration fee of £10. Postage for lessons,
completed lessons and texts should be paid by students. Please include
