***************************************************************************************** T. S. FOCUS FOR WINTER 2010 Greetings Theosophists and Friends, Let us welcome our newest members and those who have rejoined: Eloise & James Chambers, Carol Cannon, Nadia D. Jones, James (Cormac) MacCormack, Rhoda Phillips. Current focus information for the winter schedule: No changes in any regularly scheduled classes. Boris, Renate and Jurgen will include or add theosophical topics to their current material. Carol and Sy, currently giving classes in theosophical topics will continue to do so. Beginning in April, one Speaker’s Forum a month will be designated solely to a theosophical topic.
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. We invite you to explore with us and join us in the great adventure. Membership in the Theosophical Society is open to those who are in sympathy with its three objects.
FOCUS ON HOLIDAY CONTRIBUTIONS FOR OUR LODGE Our Theosophical Society operates on very low overhead due to the fact that most of the work is done by volunteers. However, it has been noted that there is water dripping over our bench in front of our store. A large insurance premium comes due in January. You get the drift—we understand that the economy is difficult, and yet our precious lodge needs our support! “Pass the basket” contributions and members’ dues serve to cover many, but not all of our operating expenses. Your financial help will enable us to continue to offer all courses and programs without charge during 2010. Your donation is tax deductible, and whatever you can manage is most appreciated. Please make your check payable to The Theosophical Society and send it to the branch at 831 S.E. 9th Street, Deerfield Beach, FL 33441 With light and love, Lillian Mayer, President

There is no charge for any of our programs. We operate entirely by donations. They help us to maintain our Center and to continue our work of spreading the message of theosophy. All donations are tax deductible under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, section 501(c)(3).

THREE OBJECTS OF THE THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY

To investigate unexplained laws of nature and the powers latent in humanity.
