Tuesdays, 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. CT
September 9 – October 7 (5 classes)
In this illuminating course, we will explore Blavatsky’s teachings on Theurgy, the sacred art of spiritual ascent leading the aspirant toward conscious union with the divine Self. These teachings are found in HPB’s Esoteric Instructions written between 1889 and 1891 for members of the Esoteric Section of the Theosophical Society. These texts contain some of her most direct and practical teachings on the inner path, intended for students devoted to self-transformation and spiritual practice. Drawing from these teachings, we will uncover the deep relationship between our inner principles and celestial beings, as well as the intricate correspondences that link the human being (microcosm) to the cosmos as a whole (macrocosm). We will also consider the spiritual use of color, sound, and number in meditative techniques designed to awaken higher awareness. These are key aspects of what has been called “divine magic,” which does not aim at controlling nature, but at furthering the elevation of consciousness.
Participants in this course will learn about:
- Theurgy and its spiritual purpose as a sacred science aimed at uniting the human soul with the divine.
- The hierarchy of celestial beings, including planetary spirits, higher and lower angels, and elementals.
- The esoteric constitution of the human being, and how we partake in the essence of the various celestial beings.
- Key occult correspondences between the principles of the cosmos and human beings.
- The esoteric connection between organs of the human body and the various levels of consciousness.
- The occult functions of color, sound, and number, and their role in spiritual practice.
- The necessity of inner purification in all genuine spiritual work and the dangers of misusing magical knowledge.
- The use of meditation techniques to facilitate spiritual alignment and the inner ascent of consciousness.
