theosophical
Divinely wisdom-seeking
Theosophical relates to theosophy—a spiritual movement blending mysticism, Eastern religions, and esoteric philosophy, especially the 19th-century movement founded by Helena Blavatsky.
The theosophical society met weekly to discuss karma and reincarnation.
More broadly, theosophical can describe any system claiming direct knowledge of divine nature through spiritual intuition rather than reason or revelation.
