Frank McManus
“The origin /problem of Evil”
Summary: “The problem of evil has, throughout human history, pre-occupied philosophers, theologians and ordinary people. This problem so intimately touches the life of everyone that its solution becomes for almost all,
the starting point of the quest for truth and wisdom.
This talk will examine the origins of good and evil from the esoteric teaching about cosmogenesis and also by looking at human creation myths especially that of the best known one - the story of Adam and Eve.
It will be suggested that evil is not all bad!
It has an evolutionary purpose - both in terms of physical and spiritual evolution.
Finally, a solution to the problem of evil is offered ! “
Frank is a Doctor of Medicine, a retired Consultant Psychiatrist, who spent his whole working life in the Royal Air Force,
leaving in 2013 after 40 years service.
He had a robust Roman Catholic education and has continued to practise his Catholicism but has had a deep interest in Esoteric Wisdom throughout his life. He is especially interested in Esoteric Christianity i.e. the commonality between the Christian and Esoteric traditions. “

The Theosophical Society is a worldwide body whose primary object is Universal Brotherhood without distinction based on the realization that life, and all its diverse forms, human and non-human, is indivisibly One. Seen as revolutionary when it was founded in 1875, the Society draws together those of goodwill whatever their social status or ethnicity. The Mission Statement of the Theosophical Society is:
“To serve humanity by cultivating an ever-deepening understanding and realization of the Ageless Wisdom, spiritual Self-transformation, and the Unity of all Life.”
On this website you will find some of the basic ideas about theosophy. However, the Theosophical Society does not ask its members to adhere to any of these ideas in particular. Members are only expected to be in agreement with the Three Objects of our organization:
- To form a nucleus of the Universal Brotherhood of humanity without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste or colour.
- To encourage the study of comparative religion, philosophy and science.
- To investigate unexplained laws of nature and the powers latent in man.
Members of the Society are united by their search for Truth and by their determination to promote brotherhood between all peoples – of all faiths or of none. The Society strenuously upholds Freedom of Thought and is founded on the basis of the broadest tolerance and the search for truth. A genuine commitment to brotherhood, which is the first object of the Society, is the mark of a truly spiritual person.
Benefits of membership include:
- The fellowship of like-minded people in a worldwide community.
- Access to resources on the members’ area of the website, including an extensive video library and a many theosophical articles.
- Free access to the members’ lending library.
- Free copies of the journal Insight and the theosophical magazine Esoterica.
- Discounts for the Diploma in Theosophy and for many events organised by the Society.
You will also have the privilege of belonging to a tried and tested organisation which has been bringing the Great Esoteric Truths to the Western World for more than 140 years. Theosophy is the Shoreless Ocean of Universal Truth, Love and Wisdom.
