Discovering and Exploring the Theosophical Path to Illumination and Self-Realization, Part 2
9:00-10:15, Monday, July 20
We all have experienced spiritual and mystical insights. Do you recall the first moment you felt a deep connection with others, nature, and the universe? What was it like when you first heard that the Theosophical Society promotes “Fraternity,” and the idea of exploring the occult nature of the human being and the metaphysical laws that govern the universe?
The beauty of Theosophy lies in equipping students of the Divine-Wisdom with the vocabulary and tools to comprehend their experiences and to facilitate their growth.
In this two-part lecture, we will delve into the teachings of H.P. Blavatsky, as presented in her books such as The Secret Doctrine, The Voice of the Silence, and others, as well as from Plato’s dialogues and the teachings of the Buddha and Buddhism. These sources offer invaluable guidance on our pursuit of Illumination and Self-Realization: the Spiritual Road to the Mystical Path.
