Greetings Theosophists and Friends, Let us give a hearty welcome to our newest member - David Anderson - may he enjoy many years of happy association with our lodge!
On December 8th, we had our second facilitator's meeting. The basic aim was to craft and send out a flyer to attract younger members. We will keep you posted on the result of this activity. Since the facilitator's are the "face" of our lodge to the public, it is important that matters be discussed amongst them, and we are all on the same page.
Please note the new day and time for our Qigong class. It will now be held on the 2nd and 4th Sunday afternoons from 4:45—5:45pm. We have noticed more participants are enjoying the class due to the changes.
During the last Members Meeting, there was a vote to spruce up the lodge with new carpeting. We are taking this under consideration. Kindly be generous with your holiday donations to our branch to ensure that we are able to carry out our members wishes. Keep in mind our lodge operates solely through donations!
A joyous holiday season is wished for us all and a productive year ahead!
In Love and Light, Lillian Mayer, President
What Theosophy is: Theosophy is a unifying concept bridging all religions, paradigms and philosophies offering an all-encompassing view of the multi-dimensional Kosmos. Internalizing these concepts will lead to a heightened awareness of who we are, resulting in an outflow of service to all beings. We invite all to include our statement in your meditations and/or at any other time. The Theosophical Society in America Has a vision of wholeness that inspires a fellowship united in study, meditation and service. Encourages open-minded inquiry into world religions, philosophy, science and the arts in order to understand the wisdom of the ages, respect the unity of all life and help people explore spiritual self- transformation. Holds that our every action, feeling and thought affects all other beings and that each of us is capable of, and responsible for, contributing to the benefit of the whole.
Not only does the Society have a vision of union with one another, and a mission of exploration, but also an ethic of putting these high ideals into action. Membership in the Theosophical Society is open to those who are in sympathy with its three objects.
“For mind is like a mirror; it gathers dust while it reflects. It needs the gentle breezes of Soul-Wisdom to brush away the dust of our illusions. Seek O Beginner to blend thy Mind and Soul…Within thy body—the shrine of thy sensations---seek in the impersonal for the ‘eternal man’; and having sought him out, look inward: thou art Buddha.” ----Voice of the Silence by H.P. Blavatsky, 1992 edition, page 26
