The consequences of Theosophy for human life

Theosophy reveals the essential unity behind the great variety of forms and expressions of life. This unity is the basis of all natural life. This is why Theosophy teaches Universal Brotherhood of all beings as a fact of Nature. This thought of Brotherhood is not based upon sentiment, but upon the structure of the Universe, in which everything is inextricably interconnected and cooperates with each other. Herein lies the explanation of the principles of morality for daily life. These are charity, compassion, cooperation and brotherhood without any distinction made concerning colour, race, nationality, social status or religious conviction.

Theosophy teaches that all that lives does so according to Universal Laws. One of these laws is Re-embodiment, which means that Man will be repeatedly born again. In conjunction with this is the law of Cause and Effect, which points to strict justice in the Universe, in which there is no room for chance, good- and/or bad luck. The character of every human being and the conditions under which he or she lives, are the natural consequences of one's own actions and thinking in past lives.

Man governs his own destiny. That means that every human being is capable, if so desiring, to change his own life and character and attain his own beatitude. The way that is shown to achieve that lies in living out the ideal of a human brotherhood by practising the principles of morality in daily life.
