Historical Data	Theosophy is a doctrine of religious philosophy and metaphysics, which originated with Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. In 1875, Blavatsky, along with Henry Steel Olcott, William Quan Judge and a few others, founded the Theosophical Society in New York City. Theosophy teaches that what is known as human is actually a Spiritual Nature classically called the "Monad", or Higher Self, and that all individual beings, regardless of the kingdom in which they exist (human, animal, vegetable or mineral), are involved in an inextricably interconnected single life. The Theosophical Society was strongest in the 1920s, with around 7,000 members in the United States.
Description	Close-up view of Theosophy Hall's ornate side entrance, which is on the right side of the building. The entrance has several small-carved images along the arched frame, a large Star of David medallion, and the phrase "There is no religion higher than truth" above the gated doorway. Theosophy Hall, an unassuming white 2-story building, is located on the corner of 33rd and Grand Ave.
