Course Description: This course is predicated upon the immemorial core or “first” principles of the universal philosophia perennis, or theosophy, which finds expression from Lao Tzu to Ramana Maharshi in the East and from Pythagoras to H.P. Blavatsky and Ananda K. Coomaraswamy in the West. We shall examine in detail how those treading the higher spiritual path must address and master its requirements. We will examine the specifics of spiritual or “sacred science,” which is an inextricable component of the perennial philosophy. Many requirements of the higher spiritual path are based on the truths of this ancient spiritual science, formulated over millennia by jivanmukti or liberated beings who serve as the teachers of those currently engaged in ascending this hieratic path. The goals of following this path are the loftiest; the hierarchical order of its Adepts is the holiest; and the totality of its evolutionary and compassionate purpose is the most sacred.
STUDY BOOKS
The main “companion” text is a book titled The Higher Spiritual Path by Bill Quinn. The participants can have xerox copy of it by donating a bit for copy.
The second or companion book to the main text is another book that Bill Quinn has compiled, entitled The Chela’s Handbook. This book is published by Turning Stone Press (an imprint of Red Wheel/Weiser), and it’s ISBN is 978-1-61852-128-6. It can be bought through Amazon.
FACILITATOR
William Wilson Quinn earned the M.A. from the University of Chicago Divinity School and thereafter the Ph.D. from that University in the philosophia perennis. He later earned a J.D. degree.

ABOUT THE SCHOOL OF THE WISDOM
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
The School of the Wisdom aims at bringing each student to survey life ‘from the centre’, which is intuitive awareness. There can be no Wisdom without an ever-increasing sense of Wonder. Essential in the progress towards Wisdom is a growing intimacy with all aspects of Nature.
The SOW was inaugurated in 1949 by C. Jinarajadasa, the fourth International President of the TS, to revive the 1922 Adyar School initiated by Annie Besant. This school was named Brahmavidyā Āśrama, which has almost the same meaning as the School of the Wisdom.
APPLYING TO THE SCHOOL
The SOW is meant for members of the Theosophical Society to deepen their understanding in theosophy, making it a living force in daily life. Students may apply for all or some of the School of the Wisdom sessions in one form and are expected to attend all the classes in the session chosen.

SOBRE LA ESCUELA DE LA SABIDURÍA
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
La Escuela de la Sabiduría tiene como objetivo llevar a cada estudiante a examinar la vida “desde el centro”, que es la conciencia intuitiva. No puede haber Sabiduría sin un creciente sentido de Maravilla. Esencial en el progreso hacia la Sabiduría, es una creciente intimidad con todos los aspectos de la Naturaleza.
La SOW fue inaugurada en 1949 por C. Jinarajadasa, el cuarto presidente internacional de la ST, para revivir la Escuela Adyar de 1926 iniciada por Annie Besant. Esta escuela se llamó Brahmavidyā Āśrama, que tiene casi el mismo significado que la Escuela de la Sabiduría.
APLICACIÓN A LA ESCUELA
