About this listen
In this episode, we explore Chapter 9 of Theosophy and New Thought by Henry Clay Sheldon — a sharp, theological look at the Theosophical Society and what made its teachings so influential in the modern spiritual movement. Sheldon examines its core ideas: the claim of a universal “Wisdom-Religion” behind all faiths, the promise of human spiritual evolution, the rejection of traditional authority in favor of inner revelation, and the call to a universal brotherhood.
But while Theosophy paints an inspiring vision of unity and higher consciousness, Sheldon challenges its speculative cosmology, its loose treatment of truth and revelation, and its subtle drift away from historic Christianity.
Join us as we unpack what Theosophy stood for, why it appealed to so many seekers, and how Sheldon’s Christian critique still speaks to today’s spiritual landscape — where ancient mysticism, modern psychology, and self-divinization continue to blur the line between enlightenment and deception.
