February 18, 2024 – Topic: Spirals – Cosmic Bridges Between Dimensions. Much has been said and written about spirals, but this lecture uses a fresh perspective to consider their role as dimensional links between planes of consciousness and even the realms of matter and spirit. It begins by discussing how peoples in former times and cultures used spirals in their art to out-picture this phenomenon from their observations of the macrocosm. We then quarks, and how three important theosophists—C.W. Leadbeater, Annie Besant. We will also use the lens of science to examine several specific examples of spirals as links between various states of human consciousness. These include the topics of DNA, sleep, and chakras, which all function as spirals bridges between the different planes of matter. We end by pondering a key spiral which functions as a conduit for our journey on earth from matter to Spirit.

March 2, 2024 – Members Only – Topic: Awakening Wisdom — A Method of Meditative Inquiry. Meditative Inquiry transcends mere intellectual study and helps us to awaken inner wisdom, while empowering us to engage with life’s complexities from a higher perspective. Through this practice, a sacred space emerges, freeing us from conditioned thought and inviting insights to inspire us. We plan to examine a collection of letters written by Madame Blavatsky to the American Conventions, in which she expresses her interest in Theosophical living. She emphasizes the significance of what she referred to as “the Ethics of Theosophy,” stressing the importance of integrating the principles of the esoteric philosophy into our everyday lives.
