TheTheosophical Society in Detroit
Chartered in 1916 as a Branch of the Theosophical Society of America

Practical Spirituality

In daily living, abstract spiritual ideas have practical implications.  For example:

·        The world we live in is basically a good place to be used wisely, to be treasured, and to be honored:  Rejoice in life
·        We develop as human beings not by forsaking the world but by cooperating with nature to preserve and perfect it:  Respect the environment and be ecologically responsible.
·        You and I are different expressions of the same life.  So whatever happens to either of us happens to both of us – our well-being is interlinked:  Help your neighbor and thereby help yourself.
·        Disharmony and evil are the result of ignorance and selfishness:  Live in harmony and goodness so as to teach others by your life as well as by your words.
