Wheaton-Olcott Theosophical Study Center
Wednesdays, 7 - 8 PM, beginning September 14

We are pleased to announce that the Wheaton-Olcott Theosophical Study Center, which meets at the National Center of the Theosophical Society in America, will embark upon a program of study open to members of the Theosophical Society. Attendance is free and can be online or in person. Visit the Study Center's webpage to see the resources, topics we will begin to explore this year and how to register to participate from home. Send an email to dsmolla@theosophical.org letting us know the name under which you are a member of the TS in America, and we will e-mail you back an ID and password. Then click here and sign in the online room with the information we sent you.

The three main areas of research and study this season will concern the roots of modern Theosophy, the work of the Theosophical Society, and the main Theosophical teachings. Various articles and excerpts from books will form the basis of our study. We will look at the development of theosophical ideals throughout the ages from Pythagoras, Plato, Neo-platonism, Meister Eckhart, J. Boehme and more. We will explore the impact of Theosophy on the world in science, philosophy, religion, education and the arts; and ponder over the message of Theosophical leaders including past international TS presidents, about the essential nature of our work as a Society. We will then be guided through the foundational concepts of what it is called modern Theosophy, such as the ultimate reality; the manifestation of the universe; the laws of periodicity, cause and effect or karma, reincarnation, and evolution; the constitution of human beings, the macrocosm reflected in the microcosm, and others.
