2009
Sat. Jan. 24th, at 2.30pm: Giving and Receiving…Inner and Outer Theosophy - based on comments by James A. Long: what does Theosophy mean to you? How important is it to ‘live’ Theosophy and not just talk about it? Secret teachings are now freely available, but how much do they mean if you don’t try, at least, to put them into action!
Sat. Feb. 7th, 2:30pm: Sadhana: the Spiritual Path: a film of one man’s journey in search of spiritual understanding in India meeting some remarkable men along the way.
Sat. March 7th, 2:30pm: Swabhava: Self-Becoming – Paul Rooke: swabhava is a Sanskrit word meaning the essential Individuality of everybody and anything, expressing its own characteristics, qualities, and type, by self-urged evolution. Self-directed spiritual evolution as real a possibility will be discussed.
Sat. April 4th, 2:30pm: A Way to the Golden Era – Roza and Margarita Riaikennen: the actual processes of spiritual evolution by spirit involving itself in matter, and then matter growing towards spirit, over vast periods of cyclic time leading us out of the present ‘Kali Yuga’ or Dark Age, to a future Golden Age.
Sat. May 2nd, 2:30pm: Knowledge of ‘The Self’ – Stefan Carey: As someone once said, there are three Selves in every person – The Self you think you are, the Person others think you are, and the Person you really are! What is the Person ‘you really are’? This subject also implies ‘how the One became the Many’ – a most abstruse and difficult concept for us finite beings to grasp!
Sat. June 6th, 2:30pm: Reincarnation: Where’s the Evidence?: a film with discussion of Peter Ramster’s experiments where four Australians were regressed into what they said were former lives. Then they were taken to the locations in Europe of their supposed former lives and it is very interested to see what happened thereafter!
Also at the Theosophical Society (Pasadena) Centre a series of lectures and discussions on BASIC CONCEPTS OF THE ANCIENT WISDOM on Wednesday mornings sponsored by the University of the Third Age and led by Tony Downey assisted by Stefan Carey, Paul and Andrew Rooke.
