Abstract

Christian theosophy in the tradition of Jacob Böhme can be described as a cartography of consciousness, but is significantly different than H. P. Blavatsky’s cartography. Nor is the terrain discussed by Henry Corbin with regard to Persian mysticism exactly the same as that described in the Christian theosophic tradition on which Corbin clearly drew and with which he identified to at least some extent. Jungianism offers still another cartographic approach to consciousness. There may be emerging a transreligious cartographic effort toward which all of these theosophies point, and toward which Blavatsky’s work, and her desire to integrate science and religion, also can be understood as pointing.
