Claude-Generated Themes:   Theosophia (1944–1981) was the independent Theosophical quarterly of Boris de Zirkoff — H.P. Blavatsky's grand-nephew and the editor of her Collected Writings — published from Los Angeles. Its whole project is a return to source Theosophy: Blavatsky, karma and reincarnation, universal brotherhood, and the 'Ancient Wisdom,' argued at length and set beside the findings of modern science. Where it touches spiritualism or mesmerism it does so critically, as a Theosophist examining rival claims rather than practicing them. It is a doctrinally serious organ of the Blavatsky/Point Loma lineage, not a phenomena magazine.
