the pilgrims

Welcome to theosophist!

The intention of this site is to offer give space to theosophical voices, to give witness to the vitality of theosophy and the reality of spiritual life. What I love about blogs is that their temporal nature reduces formality. This is a conversation, with technology allowing participants from all over the world to engage each other.

Meet our community of spiritual pilgrims and noosphere vagabonds.

Katinka Hesselink - Netherlands

Katinka Hesselink is a member of Theosophical Society-Adyar, who has taken her interest in theosophy, Buddhism, Jiddu Krishnamurti and spirituality in general online. She was born in 1974 in The Netherlands. By profession she is a teacher of math and chemistry - at middle school-level, though she now makes a living doing webdesign.

In September 2004 she started studying ‘world religions’ at Leiden university still in The Netherlands. Her specialty is Buddhism and she intends to get her Bachelors in the summer of 2008.

Govert Schuler - Wheaton, IL, USA

I’m a native of the Netherlands now living in the Chicago area, not far from the Theosophical Society in America. At high school I dabbled in theosophy and other alternative spiritualities and mind expanding substances. While traveling I discovered Krishnamurti and took him quite serious. Later I converted to a neo-theosophical group and was deeply involved with them and the Ascended Masters. The latter requested me to emigrate to the USA, which I did in 1990. My passions lie in phenomenological philosophy, parapolitical investigations, a theosophical evaluation of Krishnamurti, theurgical operations through mantra yoga and figuring out in what organization the Masters made their latest beach head. And I’m for world peace, and very concerned that the coming economic meltdown will endager that.

Juliana Cesano - Argentina (currently Wheaton, IL, USA)

In this life I happen to be Juli. I grew up surrounded by theosophical ideals and beautiful people striving to understand how to become real theosophists. I’m interested in wisdom as a living and dynamic power that can transform it all. Wisdom that can be found in the shape of words, in a deep sweet look, in a purple sky or within ourselves as a silent voice. I believe in creativity and the possibility of living in this current world with an unconditioned mind.

Pablo Sender - Argentina (currently Wheaton, IL, USA)

I was born in Argentina in 1975. In 1995 I began to participate in TS activities, both in the youth group and the TS Lodge in my city, and 1 year later I became a member. I’ve been working in the TS International Headquarter at Adyar, India, for one year and a half.

I’m currently working at the National Headquarter of the TS in America, Wheaton, Illinois. My professional background in Microbiology and Molecular Biology.
