Application for membership in the Theosophical Society is open to those who
are in sympathy with the Three Objects of the Society. The Theosophical Society
does not actively promote membership, but does welcome as members all who are in
sympathy with its Three Objects.
We are a Society which endeavours to establish on the planet a reflection of
the inner spiritual world. This embodies the ideals of the oneness of life and
respect for all living beings, in an atmosphere of open minded enquiry into
ourselves and our place in nature. We welcome any who wish to join us in this
endeavour.
We encourage anyone who is interested in membership to join a Branch of the
Society if there is one nearby. Check out the list of them from the main menu on
the left. Otherwise it is possible to become a member attached to the National
Body.
If you choose to join the TS you will not be asked to accept any particular
teachings or to surrender any of your existing beliefs. This is in keeping with
the Society's policy on Freedom of Thought.
