Who are we? What is the purpose of life? How do we actualize our potential? These are questions that thoughtful people have asked since time immemorial. This session of the School of the Wisdom will present a comprehensive study of the teachings of H. P. Blavatsky and her Adept teachers on the nature of our spiritual essence, its evolutionary unfoldment, and what we can do in daily life to consciously participate in this cosmic process. The first part of the course will focus on the metaphysics and philosophy of the subject, while the second part will explore the practical application of the teachings, including exercises that lead to self-knowledge through awareness and meditation.
Recommended reading: The following books by H. P. Blavatsky: Key to Theosophy, The Voice of the Silence, and Esoteric Instructions (compiled by Michael Gomes); and Evolution of the Higher Consciousness by Pablo Sender

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.

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.
