The Researchers of Truth

A spiritual system of study, self-knowledge, inner practice, loving service and conscious living.

The Aim of the Researchers of Truth

The fundamental aim of The Researchers of Truth is to study and understand our True Nature — to know who and what we really are and what we are meant to become as Present-day Personalities. This inner journey calls for conscious living, self-knowledge, right use of Mind-Supersubstance and an ever-deepening understanding of life in God.

To seek and experience Divine Truth through self-knowledge, spiritual discipline and service — awakening the inner, eternal Self and living in harmony with the Divine Laws.

Core Principles of Our Guiding Philosophy

“Know Thyself”

Self-knowledge is placed at the foundation of the path. The Present-day Personality is observed and understood without being mistaken for the whole human being.

Spiritual Science and Direct Experience

Truth is presented not as blind belief but as something to be investigated through observation, meditation and self-inquiry.

Inner Christianity

The teaching approaches Christianity through its inner meaning and presents Christ as the Divine Logos.

The Human Being

The human being is studied through connected terms including the material body and its Etheric Double, the Present-day Personality, the Permanent Personality and the Permanent Atoms.

Divine Laws

Cause and Effect, Love and Correspondence are among the laws to be understood and lived consciously.

Inner Work, Service and Healing

Observation, meditation and work with thoughts and emotions are joined to compassionate service and healing.

Our Observations

A reflection on humanity and our shared responsibility.

We observe confusion in every country and community. Human attention is often drawn so strongly towards material life, desire and emotion that the work of inner development is neglected.

The achievements of the material world have brought much that is valuable, yet material progress alone cannot answer the need for inner contentment. Development must be harmonious: the human being must learn to use thought, desire and emotion consciously and responsibly.

With each day, through the way we think, feel, speak and act, we help to form the conditions in which we and others will live.

Reason is a Divine gift and love is our real nature. The work therefore calls for patience, tolerance, loving conduct and service — in our homes, our communities and the wider world.

Our Prayer

Our Father, Thou art in Heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom come,
Thy Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our transgressions
as we forgive those who are transgressing against us.
Lead us while being in temptation and deliver us from evil,
for Thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory, forever.

Absolute Infinite Beingness; Everlasting Life, Love and Mercy,
Manifesting Yourself in Yourself as the Total Wisdom and the Almightiness in your Omnipresence.
Enlighten our minds to understand you as the Truth.
Clean our hearts to reflect Love towards You and towards all other human beings — Amen.
