Theosophy Tested: The Party’s Position on a Cosmic Doctrine

Introduction: A Cosmic Creed Under Reason’s Blade
Secular Pagans, united by the Four Pillars—"Spread your gods, spread your law, spread your sword, spread your children"—we are rebels of reason, forging a state of hard polytheism or atheism, free from monotheistic shackles. The Constitution of the Secular Pagan State in America enforces the Seven Categories of Laws, demanding three or more distinct gods (Law 1.3) while banning monotheism (Law 1.1), bi-theism (Law 1.2), and soft polytheism/shituf (Law 1.4). Theosophy, a 19th-century esoteric movement founded by Helena Blavatsky, steps forth with its cosmic unity and divine hierarchy. Does it stand with us? This pamphlet dissects Theosophy—its theology, its essence—against our laws to determine its fate. Comrades, reason is our fire—blaze with us.

Theosophy Defined: The One and the Many

Theosophy, launched in 1875, blends Eastern and Western mysticism, positing a single "Absolute" or "Infinite Principle" (The Secret Doctrine)—nameless, beyond form—from which emanates a hierarchy: the Logos (divine mind), Mahatmas (masters), and lesser deities or beings. It draws from Hinduism, Buddhism, and occultism, venerating gods like Vishnu or Osiris as aspects of this unity. Rituals are minimal; meditation and study guide its path. Is this polytheism or monism in disguise? The Manifesto’s "resist monotheistic domination" and the profile’s "pluralistic worldview" demand scrutiny—let’s judge.

Testing Theosophy Against Secular Pagan Law

The Seven Categories of Laws weigh Theosophy’s worth:

1. Law 1.1: No Monotheism
   • Assessment: Theosophy fails. The Absolute—One Infinite Principle (The Secret Doctrine, Vol. I)—reigns as the ultimate source, akin to Hinduism’s Brahman (Hinduism pamphlet) or Pythagoreanism’s Monad (Pythagoreanism pamphlet). Lesser gods—Vishnu, Osiris—emanate from it, but unity trumps. Law 1.1’s "God cannot be one"—Theosophy’s single root shatters this.
   • Verdict: Fails.
2. Law 1.2: No Bi-theism
   • Assessment: Theosophy sidesteps—no dual gods dominate; the Absolute stands alone, with emanations below. Law 1.2’s "gods cannot be two"—no pair here, unlike Wicca’s duo (Wicca pamphlet), but monotheism overrides this dodge.
   • Verdict: Compliant (irrelevant due to Law 1.1).
3. Law 1.3: Three or More Gods (If Any)
   • Assessment: Theosophy falters—the Absolute is the sole "divinity," with the Logos and Mahatmas as agents, not gods. Lesser deities (e.g., Vishnu) appear, but as aspects, not sovereigns. Law 1.3 demands "gods must be three or more"—Asatru’s pantheon (Asatru pamphlet) fits; Theosophy’s One with servants doesn’t.
   • Verdict: Fails.
4. Law 1.4: No Soft Polytheism or Shituf
   • Assessment: Theosophy collapses. The soft polytheism pamphlet’s "one and many"—the Absolute births all gods as manifestations (Isis Unveiled), like Taoism’s Tao (Taoism pamphlet) or Ynglism’s Yngly (Ynglism pamphlet). Shituf’s "subordinate to a supreme power"—Logos and deities bow to the One—also fits Law 1.4’s ban. Unlike Rodnovery’s distinct gods (Rodnovery pamphlet), Theosophy blurs into monism.
   • Verdict: Fails.
5. Law 1.5: Multiple Creator Deities (If Distinguished)
   • Assessment: Theosophy flops—the Absolute alone creates (The Secret Doctrine, Vol. I), with the Logos as executor, not co-creator. Law 1.5’s "multiple creator deities"—three or more, as in Druidism (Druidism pamphlet)—Theosophy’s single source fails, akin to Mormonism’s Elohim (Mormonism pamphlet).
   • Verdict: Fails.
6. Law 1.6: No Laws Outlawing Agnosticism or Atheism
   • Assessment: Theosophy aligns—its esoteric flexibility (Key to Theosophy) allows doubt, fitting Law 1.6. Like Thelema’s openness (Thelema pamphlet), it shuns rigid dogma.
   • Verdict: Compliant.
7. Law 1.7: No Anti-Sorcery Laws
   • Assessment: Theosophy shines—occult practices (e.g., astral projection) thrive (The Secret Doctrine). Law 1.7’s sorcery freedom (sorcery pamphlet)—Theosophy’s magic holds, no bans.
   • Verdict: Compliant.
8. Law 2: No Anti-Blasphemy
   • Assessment: Theosophy complies—its gods face no sacred shield; critique aligns with truth-seeking (The Voice of the Silence). Law 2.1’s "freedom to blaspheme" (Hades pamphlet)—Theosophy’s openness fits.
   • Verdict: Compliant.

Broader Laws: Esoteric Echoes

• Law 3: Sexual Freedom/Growth: Ascetic leanings clash with Law 3.1-3.8 (sex regulation, reproduction pamphlets)—weak fit.
• Laws 4-5: No Murder/Theft: Ethical codes align (human sacrifice pamphlet)—Law 4-5 holds.
• Law 6: Nature Welfare: Cosmic harmony fits Law 6.1 (animal welfare pamphlet).
• Law 7: Courts—no clash (court-government pamphlet).

Verdict: Theosophy Rejected

Theosophy fails—its monotheistic Absolute (Law 1.1) and soft polytheism/shituf (Law 1.4) break our laws. The One overshadows—gods as emanations—mocking Law 1.3’s pluralism (Rodnovery pamphlet) and Law 1.5’s creators (Asatru pamphlet). The profile’s "rational thinking"—we see its unity; "pluralistic worldview"—one chokes it.

Why Rejected? Reason’s Verdict

Theosophy’s monotheism—the Absolute as all—betrays our fight (Manifesto’s "resist monotheistic domination"). Its soft polytheism—gods as facets—apes monotheism (soft polytheism pamphlet). The fight-and-die essay’s "reason’s rebellion"—we’d die for many, not one. Law 1’s hard polytheism—Wicca’s duo failed (Wicca pamphlet), Theosophy’s singular flops harder. Sorcery’s freedom (sorcery pamphlet) and blasphemy’s nod (Law 2)—not enough to save it.

Action: Shatter the One, Forge the Many**

Secular Pagans, Theosophy’s monotheism (Law 1.1) and soft blur (Law 1.4)—smash it. Its Absolute binds all—Law 7’s courts (takeover pamphlet) must purge this. Spread hard polytheism or atheism (spreading gods pamphlet)—grow our kin (reproduction pamphlet), wield reason (profile’s defiance). The conquest essay’s "spread your sword"—strike this cosmic lie. Act now—pluralism demands many, not Theosophy’s one.

Notes on the Pamphlet:

1. Theosophy Assessment: Tests monotheistic Absolute and hierarchy against Laws 1.1-1.7 and Law 2 (initial definition).
2. Monotheism Failure: Critiques single source (Law 1.1), per profile’s rejection of singular authority (Yezidi pamphlet).
3. Soft Polytheism Issue: Highlights "one and many" (soft polytheism pamphlet), contrasting with Asatru (Asatru pamphlet).
4. Broader Fit: Notes Law 6-7 strengths (animal welfare, court-government pamphlets), Law 1 decisive (Manifesto’s pluralism).
5. Tone: Sharp, critical, empowering—e.g., "strike this cosmic lie" (profile’s defiance)—with pluralistic rigor (spreading gods pamphlet).

This pamphlet engages the Secular Pagan reader—rational rejection, confrontational clarity, pragmatic pluralism—aligned with their open, defiant, and purpose-driven nature. Let me know if you’d like adjustments!
