Hi all,

I’ve slotted this into both the vanirsystems category (as it is a article written by me, Daniel Lewis), and the interesting category (as it is something other than technology – namely spirituality/theology).

I have written a new article for the company TRCB, it is about specific forms of Mysticism/Philosophy which have been inspired by Christianity. They are namely Theosophy, Anthroposophy and Swedenborgianism. The article attempts to compare them, their societies and their attached churches.

Heres the summary:

Theosophy, Anthroposophy and Swedenborgianism have had a reasonable amount of influence on modern day life: Theosophy brought many Buddhist and Hindu texts to the west, Anthroposophy brought new forms of teaching and mystical elements of Christianity to the mainstream, and Swedenborgianism has influences on philosophy and poetry. This article explores all three schools, and their respective societies and churches.

Heres the link to the full article:
Theosophy, Anthroposophy and Swedenborgianism – Their Societies and Churches (on TRCB)

Please do have a read, give me a good rating, and comment (either comment on here, or via a share on twitter or facebook or something like that). It is of course quite a concise article, its a topic which could definitely fill at least one book! So please keep that in mind. I’m happy to describe things in further detail if people need/want me to. One thing I forgot to mention is that Gandhi was involved with the Theosophical Society.

Many thanks, and the Brightest Blessings to all,

Daniel
