We left the Cleopatra Exhibit at the height of L.A. traffic and were trying to kill an hour or two and wait it out. Right on the other side of the Harbor Freeway from USC, I slammed on the brakes and circled the wagon because I spotted the Theosophical Hall of Los Angeles. I barely saw the building because of the trees covering the front of the building, but came across a diamond in the rough that I have wanted to visit for twenty years.
It is classic old-​school architecture and a joy to tour — they don’t build them like they used to. The hundred year old wood work looked new and the feel of the structure is something contemporary buildings do not have. It was nice to actually see a century old tradition of truth and tolerance still standing strong. It was after 5:00 and we had to be buzzed in the side door so check on times through their website
or just have a little faith and drop by.
If you need to worship anything other than life, then the 1927 historic Theosophy Hall in L.A. and its associates are probably not for you. Beginning in the late 1800’s, Madame Blavatsky created or coined Theosophy, which can be considered a melding of Oriental and Western philosophies and religions. Her writings and dedication to find the common denominator between spiritual tenets is unparalleled.
Theosophy has evolved over the last century and this Hall, with its library and discussions, is the place to go when you really want to know. There is nobody regurgitating redacted and edited texts and all possess a thirst for knowledge. Emphasis is placed upon actual translated texts like the Gita, Tao Te Ching, and original Theosophical works, etc. and how those ideas relate to our realities in the modern world. You will not find fire, brimstone or a collection plate, so if you think you are ready to graduate from the school of institutional directed religious disinformation and engage in personal research and discovery of our reality and truth, then stop by the Theosophical Hall of Los Angeles.
