  AN UNEXPECTED STORM             

   

The Power of Nature 
 By Juliana Cesano

bkstck 

Late on Sunday morning, July 1, we were surprised by unanticipated heavy clouds. In a matter of minutes, while some of us where at home and others in their respective rooms at the National Center, the sky turned unusually dark. The season has been quite dry so far, so we were all hoping for some rain. What we did not know was that this time rain would not be coming from above, but would be seen traveling horizontally, accompanied by a 100 mile-per-hour wind. We were bearing witness to the most powerful storm of the last 4 of years. Read and see more

 

 


  INTERNATIONAL THEOSOPHY CONFERENCE            

   

August 9-12, 2012

bkstck

This year's International Theosophy Conference (ITC) will take place at the headquarters of the Theosophical Society in America for the first time. The objects of ITC include and support the original Three Objects as expressed in the writings of H. P. Blavatsky. The "radiant sun" logo corresponds to the ITC efforts devoted to unity among all students of Theosophy and to fostering communication among all Theosophical traditions. The conference will feature speakers and guests from several different Theosophical organizations. There are also unaffiliated speakers on such subjects as psychology, astrophysics, and the world's great religions. Read more    

 

 

 
  A SPECIAL INVITATION  

bkstck
By Lauren Rourk  
bkstckAs a teenager diving headfirst into the promised days of summer, I decided that I wanted to make this season's break meaningful. I knew a summer job would never work, and just vegetating at home wouldn't be an option either. So, I decided to go for a volunteering opportunity, which I knew, if anything, would pass the time and look good on the college applications in the fall. I began my search, and, after a while, I found the Theosophical Society in America. All I really knew about it was a place that religions were studied and compared, which sounded interesting. I decided to volunteer, knowing that if I accomplished anything, I'd at least learn a few things here and there. What I didn't know, was how much I would learn, and I how much I would experience.

 HENRY S. OLCOTT MEMORIAL LIBRARY

  

 Set your sights high with library videos in July!  

 

Reuben Cabigting--How I became a Theosophist.mp4

Long time Theosophist and man of many talents, the humble and devoted Ruben Cabigting tells his story of how he came to Theosophy. As you will see from the introduction we were planning on only discussing some key books from Ruben's spiritual path. However, we managed to get Ruben to talk about his storied past.

  

Pete Harris Featured Favorites part two
 

Pete Harris is a voracious reader and has long been a serious researcher of esoteric spirituality. In a sense, the Henry S. Olcott Memorial Library is made for spiritual seekers like Pete. He takes us on a very thoughtful and scholarly journey through the West's and his introduction to Shamanism, Beat Literature, Zen Buddhism, and Theosophy.

Karma cannot act unless there is an appropriate
instrument provided for its action."
