In some instances, it refers to an area of study (in the same sense as the word "philosophy"), in others, a particular group or movement (e.g., The Theosophical Society). It also has a literal definition: Divine Wisdom. It comes from the words

Theosophy Library Online - Great Teacher Series - NICHIREN
Describes the major events and accomplishments of Nichiren.
http://theosophy.org/tlodocs/teachers/Nichiren.htm

Extractions: Turn your minds and entrust yourselves at once to the singular Truth of the Righteous Way. Then you will see that the three realms of existence are the Kingdom of Buddha, which is in no way subject to decay, and that the worlds in the ten quarters are all lands of treasures, which are never to be destroyed. The kingdom is changeless and the lands eternal. How, then, shall your life be other than secure and your mind other than serene in Enlightenment? Rissho Ankokuron NICHIREN Japanese Buddhists were concerned with mappo, the period of degeneracy in which buddhadharma, the Teaching of Buddha, was thought to be obscured and even lost. As the ancient imperial ideal was enervated by the rise of samurai who held effective power, Japan almost seemed to many thinkers to become illustrative of mappo. Whilst Japanese Buddhists could revere China and aspire to journey to India, they knew that the Buddhist tradition had degenerated amongst the Chinese and had virtually disappeared in the land of its founder. Although some devotees were content with laconic pessimism, others nurtured a variety of desultory responses to mappo.

Theosophy Library Online - Great Teacher Series - ASHOKA
An outline of his life and origins, his conversion, and his acts.
http://www.theosophy.org/tlodocs/teachers/Ashoka.htm

Extractions: It is difficult to achieve happiness, either in this world or in the next, except by intense love of Dharma, intense self-examination, intense obedience, intense fear of evil and intense enthusiasm. Yet as a result of my instruction, regard for Dharma and love of Dharma have increased day by day and will continue to increase. Pillar Edict I ASHOKA Shakyamuni Buddha taught and guided his followers for fifty years after his Enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree. His fundamental message was simply expressed in his first sermon, but the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path were of such spiritual simplicity that monks and laymen alike found them difficult to practise. The reality of dukha, suffering due to avidya, Within a year of the Buddha's Parinirvana, the Sangha gathered together its members and attempted to set down the public teachings of the Enlightened One. Ananda was requested to recite all he knew, since he had been the constant companion and personal attendant of the Buddha. His words, supplemented by the recollections of others, engendered the earliest form of the Tripitaka

Why Do We Not Remember Our Past Lives?
Views of Helena Blavatsky, founder of the Theosophical Movement, from her classic The Key to theosophy .
http://theosophy.org/tlodocs/WhyDoWeN.htm

Extractions: ON RE-INCARNATION OR RE-BIRTH WHAT IS MEMORY ACCORDING TO THE THEOSOPHICAL TEACHING? E NQ. The most difficult thing for you to do, will be to explain and give reasonable grounds for such a belief. No Theosophist has ever yet succeeded in bringing forward a single valid proof to shake my scepticism. First of all, you have against this theory of re-incarnation, the fact that no single man has yet been found to remember that he has lived, least of all who he was, during his previous life. T HEO. Your argument, I see, tends to the same old objection; the loss of memory in each of us of our previous incarnation. You think it invalidates our doctrine ? My answer is that it does not, and that at any rate such an objection cannot be final. E NQ. I would like to hear your arguments. T HEO. They are short and few. Yet when you take into consideration (a) the utter inability of the best modern psychologists to explain to the world the nature of mind; and (b) their complete ignorance of its potentialities, and higher states, you have to admit that this objection is based on an

Theosophy Library Online - Biography Of William Q. Judge
Short biography with picture.
http://theosophy.org/tlodocs/JudgeBiography.htm

Extractions: "Remember that life is the outcome of the Ever-Living. If you have come to comprehend a little of the mystery of life, and can value its attractions according to their worth; these are no reasons why you should walk forth with solemn countenance to blight the enjoyments of other men. Life to them is as real, as the mystery is to you. Their time will come as yours has, so hasten it for them, if you can, by making life brighter, more joyous, better." from Musings On The True Theosophist's Path William Q. Judge was born in Dublin, Ireland. He emigrated to the United States with his family when he was 13 years old. At age 21, he became a naturalized citizen. That same year he passed the New York state bar exam. As an attorney, he specialized in commercial law. In 1874, Judge met Col. H. S. Olcott and, through him, H.P. Blavatsky. The following year the three were instrumental in founding the Theosophical Society. Following the publication of HPB's book, Isis Unveiled (1877), HPB and Olcott went to India to establish the TS there, leaving Judge to carry on the work in the United States. They corresponded regularly and Judge visited India in 1884. After his return he started a monthly magazine

THE ROOTS OF THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT - Oriental Renaissance- Theosophy - Occultism
A gentle critique of Blavatsky's engagement of Eastern tradition, by Michael Rogge.
http://www.xs4all.nl/~wichm/newageb.html#THEOS

Extractions: The philosophers of the 18th century were disenchanted with the state of civilization they saw around them. Praise of another culture became popular. China was one of them. Chinoisery appeared on furniture and porcelain. Operas and plays had Chinese themes. Some even considered the wisdom of Confucius superior to the tenets of Christianity. The fascination with the Orient reached its peak during Romanticism Western scholars had begun to study Sanskrit in the 17th century. But it was not until the 19th century that translations of Indian scriptures became available in the West. French scholars took the lead. Along with Sanskrit (1785) other languages were deciphered: Pahlavi in 1793, cuneiforms in 1803, hieroglyphs in 1822, and Avestan in 1832. The path was now paved to the treasures of Eastern thought. Authentic texts of Buddhism were discovered by Hodgson in 1821 while living in Nepal. He obtained 400 Sanskrit and Tibetan volumes. A Pali grammar was published in 1826 by Burnouf and Lassen. A young Hungarian, Csoma de Koros, went so far as to enter monastic life in Tibet in 1850. Prinsep deciphered inscriptions of the Indian king Ashoka between 1834 and 1837.

Spiritualism And Theosophy By H.S.Olcott
Lecture delivered at the rooms of the United Service Institution of India, Simla.
http://www.theosophical.ca/Spiritualism .htm

Extractions: The Debatable Land between This World and the Next, The other contrivance is described and illustrated in the monograph entitled Researches in the Phenomena of Spiritualism, by Mr William Crookes, F.R.S., Editor of the Quarterly Journal of Science, I mention these two mechanical contrivances merely to show those who, perhaps, have never enquired into the matter, but have nevertheless fallen into the common error of thinking the phenomena to be all deceptions, that the utmost care has been taken by the cleverest scientists to guard against the possibility of fraud in the course of their experiments. If ever there was a fact of science proved, it is that a new and most mysterious force of some Quarterly Journal of Science buna Mr Crookes found the force-current to be extremely variable in the same medium on different days, and, in the medium from minute to minute, its flow was highly erratic. In his book he gives a number of cuts to illustrate these variations, as well as of the ingenious apparatus he employed to detect them.
Alpheus--Annie Besant's Quest For Truth
An article by Mark Bevir.
http://www.alpheus.org/html/articles/theosophy/bevir3.html

Extractions: We can unpack Besant's doubts in terms of the questions she asked and the sorts of answers she required. Her most basic question concerned the inspiration of the Bible. She recalled her attempt to harmonise the gospels and questioned their historical veracity. She read Renan's study of the historical life of Jesus followed by several more academic works of historical criticism, most of which suggested the Bible did not offer a record of events as seen by eye-witnesses. Furthermore, she took a keen interest in recent scientific discoveries, including the theory of evolution, which clearly contradicted several Biblical doctrines. Later she recalled how 'Darwin had done much towards freeing me from my old bonds.' The experience of doubt set up various themes that then gave continuity to Besant's multifarious activities. With respect to the physical nature of the universe, these themes were, first, a somewhat mystical concern with truth, and, second, an insistence on natural explanations incorporating current scientific knowledge. With respect to the moral nature of the universe, these themes were, first, a concern with social duty within a humanitarian context, and, second, an insistence on a natural account of a just order in which everyone receives what they deserve and from which we can eliminate evil. These themes run through the whole of the rest of her life.

Theosophy
A critical entry on Blavatsky and theosophy.
http://www.skepdic.com/theosoph.html

Extractions: Click to order from Amazon "We assert that the divine spark in man being one and identical in its essence with the Universal Spirit, our "spiritual Self" is practically omniscient, but that it cannot manifest its knowledge owing to the impediments of matter. Now the more these impediments are removed, in other words, the more the physical body is paralyzed, as to its own independent activity and consciousness, as in deep sleep or deep trance, or, again, in illness, the more fully can the inner Self manifest on this plane. This is our explanation of those truly wonderful phenomena of a higher order, in which undeniable intelligence and knowledge are exhibited. " [Madame Blavatsky] "...we are imprisoned in the body, like an oyster in his shell." [The Socrates of Plato, Phaedrus To the philosopher, the body is "a disturbing element, hindering the soul from the acquisition of knowledge..." "...what is purification but...the release of the soul from the chains of the body?"
