The videotape presentation is divided into three sections: (1) four assumptions upon which we base modern Theosophy and a short history of the early Theosophical Society, (2) core concepts presented in H.P. Blavatsky's writings; and (3) the ethics of Theosophy for practical application of theosophical principles. The workbook, which comes free with the videotape, has three additional sections, making a total of six: (4) a learning approach to Theosophy; (5) additional Theosophical teachings; and (6) a bibliography of Source Literature.
Each section, although self-contained, builds on the previous one in its introductory coverage of Theosophical concepts discussed.
The material presented in the video and the workbook is based upon the primary assumption that there exists an Ancient Wisdom, and Theosophical Society's founders reintroduced it to the world with the help of their teachers. Therefore, writings of the founders and their teachers constitute the "Source Writings" of the modern day Theosophical Movement. Consequently, in order to gather an understanding of the original teachings of Theosophy, you need to explore these Source Writings.
