According to Jean-Pierre Bonnerot, theosophy can be defined as a science (or a wisdom) of God. It is opposed to mystic which aims the human being, and the awareness of God. Theosophy could be represented by a vertical motion, from the bottom to the top: the effort of Man aiming at God, while mystic would have an opposite meaning: starting from the top towards the bottom. A form of transmission of teaching that comes down from the Gods' door to men's door.
Two very different approaches.
To Saint Paul, that knowledge only accessible by the inner illumination that is opposed to every human impulse: Man, whatever are his means and his reasonings, can’t claim nor hope in his conclusions to reach results that would be close to the acquisition of God's wisdom.
 
But does wisdom belong to God? If it is so, is the mystery of that wisdom communicable, conceivable or even understandable by Man? These two ways, ascendant and descendant, theosophy and mystic, do they allow to reach a same grace? To a same kind of maieutics, or illumination? The author's answer is this 49 minutes presentation. We make the most of this page to recommend, if are interested by Christian mystique, the excellent website of our friend Serge Lanoe:. Centre de Mystique Chrétienne where many free lessons are available.
