On Saturday March 15th TS Portland Lodge President and Ron Karsten Lodge Ambassador were invited to share an introductory talk with The Masonic Research Lodge of Oregon. The Research Lodge of Oregon is a Masonic Lodge under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Oregon. They are the second oldest Research Lodge in America. Their lodge was chartered in 1932, and has counted many prominent Oregon Masons among its members.
As part of our fraternal outreach effort to share awareness of our lodge and Theosophy in general Ron Karsten presented to the assembled masons a program that outlined basic theosophical ideas and the three objects of the Theosophical Society and of our local lodge. The open-minded approach of the Research Lodge and fraternal welcome offered by the Research lodge was very much in accord with our theosophical values and ideals.
Appreciation goes out to The Research Lodge of Oregon for their gracious invitation for us to share our theosophical values and to TS Portland and Research Lodge member Ted Balestreri for connecting our two groups.
04/27/2025 – 2:00 PM Thought Forms, Egregores, and Magic – A theosophical explanation of the power and results of repetitive thought
Presenter – Peggy Heubel
What if our thoughts had shape, power, and influence beyond our own minds? Across mystical traditions, from Theosophy to modern occultism, thought-forms and egregores have been recognized as living currents of mental energy—forces that can be consciously created, directed, and even worshipped. Are these simply psychological constructs, or do they exist as independent entities influencing our lives? In this one-hour program, we’ll explore the mystical mechanics of thought-forms, their role in white and black magic, and their profound connection to astral projection and manifestation. Is it possible to create, empower, and—most importantly—control the results of our thoughts? Are we ready to accept the idea that our thoughts have a life of their own—a life where thought becomes reality? Join us for an interesting—and perhaps an enlightening—program.
