Welcome!
Philaletheians are lovers or seekers of Truth.
They have existed since time immemorial but under many different
names. It is only when we reach the third century
AD that the
designation, originally coined by Pythagoras, was adopted by Ammonius
Saccas, the Alexandrian Socrates of Neo-Platonism, instructor of
Plotinus and founder of the Eclectic Theosophical System.
We, contemporary Philaletheians, continue to
disseminate Eternal Verities in today's world through
seminars, courses, and other educational events. Distinguished by
Romanticism, the spirit of unrest and drive for spiritual progress
that appears at the close of every epoch, we are set apart
by a search for ideals and values that, to many, seem
unattainable.
Our overriding aim is to promulgate
Ageless Wisdom
and Higher Ethics as presented by Helena
Petrovna Blavatsky; and to share insights with those who
are “unexpecting, pure, just, impartial, devoid of fear, and who
[have] forsaken [personal] interest in the results of action.”
The
scope of our enquiries, therefore, extends far beyond the works of Greek
philosophers as the depth and academic rigour of our
endeavours demonstrate.
Whilst working closely with diverse philosophical
organisations, we are attached to none. We are a brotherhood of
kindred spirits unconstrained by mundane terms of reference,
pecuniary obligations, and the institutionalised hypocrisy of
our age.
Philaletheia or Love of Truth Divine is our
sole deity and dogma.
