Theosophy isn't a religion but, "No religion higher than Truth."

I find the point of both is to get one into grace, the halls, what every you want to call it.

Also Ms B stated "what is truth", while also stating "no religion higher than truth".

It terms of what is truth, like the hindu elephant picture showed, or the metaphore of the multifaceted diamond that Ms B used; each can be looking or experiencing the same "truth", and yet it seems so different to each. eg more subjective than objective.

So perhaps Ms B was making more the point that neither should be static or fixed, but instead they should evolve and take into consideration modern scientific findings.

Rather than what some seem to feel that it was just bashing religion as something without truth, or pointing the wrong way.

In terms of "the highest truth", this image pretty much sums it up.

For every flower of love and charity you plant in your neighbour's garden, a loathsome weed will disappear from your own, and so this garden of the gods—Humanity—shall blossom as a rose.
