The following is the Vision and objectives of the NZ Theosophical Society which is a philosophy we espouse at the family farm.

Vision:

To inspire and serve the spiritual evolution of humanity.

Mission:

Our Mission is to encourage enquiry with open hearts and minds into world religions, philosophy, science, and the arts; and to support the individual's endeavours to understand and apply the ageless wisdom, respect and honour all life, and pursue spiritual self-realisation

Our Ethic:

The Society holds that our every action, feeling, and thought affects all other beings and that each of us is capable of and responsible for contributing to the benefit of the whole.

Not only does the Society have a vision of union with one another, and a mission of exploration, but also an ethic of putting these high ideals into action.

Objects:

1. To form a nucleus of the Universal brotherhood of Humanity,without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste or colour.

2. To encourage the study of comparative religion, philosophy and science

3. To investigate the unexplained laws of Nature and the powers latent in humanity.

Theosophical Worldview

The Theosophical Society, while reserving for each member full freedom to interpret those teachings known as Theosophy, is dedicated to preserving and realizing the ageless wisdom, which embodies both a worldview and a vision of human self-transformation.

This tradition is founded upon certain fundamental propositions:

The universe and all that exists within it are one interrelated and interdependent whole.

Every existent being-from atom to galaxy-is rooted in the same universal, life-creating Reality. This Reality is all pervasive but it can never be summed up in its parts, since it transcends all its expressions. It reveals itself in the purposeful, ordered, and meaningful processes of nature as well as in the deepest recesses of the mind and spirit.

Recognition of the unique value of every living being expresses itself in reverence for life, compassion for all, sympathy with the need of all individuals to find truth for themselves, and respect for all religious traditions. The ways in which these ideals become realities in individual life are both the privileged choice and the responsible act of every human being.

Central to the concerns of theosophy is the desire to promote understanding and unity among people of all races, nationalities, philosophies, and religions. Therefore, all people, whatever their race, creed, sex, caste, or color, are invited to participate equally in the life and work of the Society. The Theosophical Society imposes no dogmas, but points toward the source of unity behind all differences. Devotion to truth, love for all living beings, and commitment to a life of active altruism are the marks of the true Theosophist.
