Introduction

There is no religion higher than Truth is the motto of the Theosophical Society, and the third object of Theosophy point to become real seeker of Truth integrating Science, Religion and Theosophy.

Human beings are not free from the delusions produced by Maya (illusion) self as separation, Time as succession and space as dimension. Upward progress of the Ego is a series of progressive awakening to reach “reality” through purity of consciousness, knowing the cyclic evolution, and the three streams of evolution to bring radical change or spiritual transformation. If one transforms, he affects the consciousness of the rest of the world.

ABOUT THE SCHOOL OF THE WISDOM

 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

The School of the Wisdom aims at bringing each student to survey life ‘from the centre’, which is intuitive awareness. There can be no Wisdom without an ever-increasing sense of Wonder. Essential in the progress towards Wisdom is a growing intimacy with all aspects of Nature.

The SOW was inaugurated in 1949 by C. Jinarajadasa, the fourth International President of the TS, to revive the 1922 Adyar School initiated by Annie Besant. This school was named Brahmavidyā Āśrama, which has almost the same meaning as the School of the Wisdom.

APPLYING TO THE SCHOOL

The SOW is meant for members of the Theosophical Society to deepen their understanding in theosophy, making it a living force in daily life. Students may apply for all or some of the School of the Wisdom sessions in one form and are expected to attend all the classes in the session chosen.

SOBRE LA ESCUELA DE LA SABIDURÍA

 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

La Escuela de la Sabiduría tiene como objetivo llevar a cada estudiante a examinar la vida «desde el centro», que es la conciencia intuitiva.  No puede haber Sabiduría sin un creciente sentido de Maravilla. Esencial en el progreso hacia la Sabiduría, es una creciente intimidad con todos los aspectos de la Naturaleza.

La SOW fue inaugurada en 1949 por C. Jinarajadasa, el cuarto presidente internacional de la ST, para revivir la Escuela Adyar de 1926 iniciada por Annie Besant. Esta escuela se llamó Brahmavidyā Āśrama, que tiene casi el mismo significado que la Escuela de la Sabiduría.

APLICACIÓN A LA ESCUELA
