Call for proposals

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the ITC 2010 Conference "Making Theosophy a Living Power in the World".
There is a great need to present the original theosophical teachings in a way that they will help people meet their daily challenges.

ITC

International Theosophy Conferences Inc. is the organization behind this Conference. ITC was founded as a platform for all forward looking Theosophists to form a future basis for the Theosophical Movement. ITC is reaching out to theosophical organizations around the world and to all those who have dedicated their lives to Theosophy to present their proposals. All participants in ITC activities are working together in a spirit of harmony, with respect for each other’s organizational background.
The Program Committee will put together a 2010 Conference program based on the contributions we receive.

We now wish to introduce this conference in a way that is familiar to all students of Theosophy, by indicating some basic thoughts about the common ground on which all Theosophists stand:

- Theosophy

Theosophy is the common origin of all religion, philosophy and science: the divine wisdom present in the heart of every being.

- Theosophist

H.P. Blavatsky writes in The Key to Theosophy: "Theosophist is, who Theosophy does."

- The Theosophical Movement

The Theosophical Movement is meant to be a useful instrument for the Lodge of Wisdom and Compassion to stimulate the spiritual growth of mankind. It is a living organism, with a soul that forms the link with the spiritual part, the Lodge of Wisdom and Compassion.
The task of the Theosophical Movement is:

to keep pure and alive the theosophical ideas as presented by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky and her Teachers;
to protect and nourish mankind by breaking the moulds of mind and introducing universal Truth in the world;
to teach how to practice universal ideals in daily life;
to promulgate these theosophical ideas: to give Theosophy its rightful place in the world.

- The rightful place of Theosophy in the world

The place of Theosophy – the divine, universal wisdom of the Kosmos – is in the hearts of men. When a man’s divine core is awakened, he will spread the light to all living beings.

- Present and future

H.P. Blavatsky and the Masters did not give out the theosophical teachings just for one century, but for many thousands of years. The emphasis of the work of Theosophical organizations should therefore be on the present and the future, not on the past. As stated above, this is a prime objective of ITC.
