Episode Details

In this episode of WakingWorld, Toby delves into the history and influence of the Theosophical Society and its connection to the Freemasonic-aligned Liberal Catholic Church. Founded by two members of the Theosophical Society, the LCC sought to merge esoteric teachings with Christian ritual. 

Long accused by some of cult-like behaviour, with ex-members stepping forward to share their stories, questions remain: are these organisations simply communities of like-minded spiritual seekers exploring hidden wisdom, or is there a darker, more controlling undercurrent at play? Toby unpacks their origins, teachings, and the fine line between enlightenment and manipulation.
