THE BIG QUESTIONS

The big issues in science, philosophy and religion have never been as relevant to man's progress as they are today.  Much of the news and commentary in the media offers limited help in finding answers to the problems inherent in materialism and religious fundamentalism.  But in the space between these extremes there are remarkable, often under-reported changes coming about in man's understanding of both the material universe and consciousness in all its aspects.

The perennial Ancient Wisdom is the underlying philosophy that unites religion, science and philosophy: it offers a holistic way of life that is principled, practical and well proven by generations of seers and teachers.  It is profound yet simple.

Its relevance to us is in understanding the challenges of today’s world - as it's only through intelligent understanding that we can see the best way to manage those changes in our lives and for other's benefit.

Modern science is moving closer to the esoteric ideas of the ancient wisdom, such as in psychology, consciousness studies and quantum mechanics and it needs the holistic base of the ancient wisdom's ethics and morals to guide it.  So Theosophy - as a conduit of the ancient wisdom - is one of the most far-sighted movements of our time.

So some of the most relevant questions today are how mankind will apply to itself these great principles of right living which have been given, lost and re-given since time began.

That is the responsibility - and hope - for humanity, especially to us as individuals and also collectively as members of all races and nations.
