It is one of the most important aspects of the path towards wholeness. Thoughts about the antahkarana will be presented with music and images to open our minds and senses to the subject. An Introduction to the Seven Rays (Thomas Nielsen) It is said that knowledge of the seven rays will be a foundation for education in the new age. This lecture is an introduction to the rays and how they influence our everyday lives. Colour Your Soul (Nada Celeste (Micky Allan)) Imagine your soul materializing. What colours does it have? What shapes? Qualities? Symbolic form? Come draw your soul as you feel it to be at this moment now, one point of time in its ever-changing flow. All welcome. All materials provided. Incarnation (Neville Anderson) In Jeremiah1,vs 5 we read: "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you". This records Jeremiah's awareness that he had been pre-destined for the prophetic office. Several things are clear, God knew Jeremiah before his conception, so it seems to speak of the pre-existence of the soul. That incarnation is a process of existence in God's Kingdom and through birth into a limited life, at the end of which is a return to God. This is most clearly seen in the incarnation of the Lord Jesus, who shows us the way for all incarnate beings. Meditation (Aida De Murashkin, Annie Mai Hartley, Dorte Moltsen, Con Xanthos) The morning Meditation is a guided meditation, using a technique from the Shan Theosophical Meditation System such as the Flame Meditation, The 17 Steps to Perfection, the Divine Heart Meditation or the Puja. Meditation Service (Aida De Murashkin, Annie Mai Hartley, Dorte Moltsen) The afternoon Meditation Service uses invocations, meditation, mantra singing and decrees to develop the heart through healing service. Moving into the Day (Gudrun Markowsky) Get ready for another day of listening & study with a selection of easy to follow movements from Tai Chi and Chi Gong. Of God, In God - a Mystic’s Perception of the Divine (Arjuna Govindamurti) An exploration of the idea and experience of God through the eyes of mystics Paramahansa Yogananda, Jalal-ud-Din Rumi and others. Considerations of the Divine through those who write of direct experience. "Mirabai knows that to find the Divine One, the only indispensable is Love." The Zodiac, The Seven Rays and The Science of Relationships (Con Xanthos) Esoteric Astrology is described in Alice Bailey's Esoteric Astrology as "the science of relationships" - the relationship existing between all living organisms within the universe." In this introductory presentation, we will explore this relationship by:  Presenting a map & the inter-relationship of energies that flow into our solar system & planet from cosmic sources  Exploring the relationship between the seven rays, the twelve constellations, our solar system and our planet  Discussing how these energies affect us and the opportunities they offer us for the expansion of our consciousness Page 2 of 3 Understanding the Sex Complex – based on A Compilation on Sex by Alice A. Bailey (Thomas Nielsen) Alice Bailey states that solving the sex problem is the key to solving all of the world’s problems. In this lecture I will explore why. What is Esoteric Astrology and How Is It Implemented? (Charles Reither) The signs, the houses, the decants, the impact of the sacred and/or non-sacred planets, the seven rays, the rising sign, the crosses and our clockwise or anti-clockwise traverse around the zodiac – are the means and tools available to us to help us identify, and realise, our full spiritual potential on Earth – both from a mortal and immortal perspective. The value, use and impact of these means and tools vary in direct proportion to the degree of our spiritual awareness or consciousness, which may be limited only by our karma, and the emphasis and focus of our life. Why are you here, and what should you do about it? (Brenton Phillis) At the heart of thinking about the essential questions of life, we encounter reincarnation, the purpose of this life and the lessons we must learn. We will explore our dharma and our karma as the two most important keys to our life and its meaning . . . and as the path to our heart, our life, our soul and spirit. We’ll discuss: How do we know our dharma and karma? How do they relate to each other? How can they guide our life and how should we behave and act? How do they help us navigate this transitional time of the Great Change? . . . and any other questions you may have! ‘Wish You Were Here’ – A Homeopathic Perspective of Grief and Loss (Isaac Golden) We are all accustomed to dealing with grief and loss - sometimes we do it well and we can move on, and at other times we are left with a burden which never seems to pass. This presentation will be a little different - Isaac will use songs as well as an examination of homeopathic options to explore some ways to deal with grief and loss. Wordsworth and Science (Roger Sworder) Wordsworth was an intellectual who supposed that the vision of God is the purpose of science. He believed that the human soul is continuous with the rest of creation and that science now obscures these links.

Concerning participation in the Spiritual Forum If you have a serious physical or psychological condition, you are advised against taking part in activities that call upon spiritual energies, such as the Spiritual Forum and the New Year’s Eve Earth Healing Service, without prior consultation with an experienced meditation teacher. Where serious illness or imbalance is present, it is recommended that the body and mind focus on healing and regaining balance. In these cases it is better to work on healing, in cooperation with health care practitioners, through, for example, relaxation, positive thinking and stress reduction. Also, if you use or have used illegal drugs, psychoactive medications (for example, antidepressants, mood stabilisers, tranquillisers, hypnotics and so forth), or alcohol (more than the occasional social drink), a minimum of 3-7 years free of using such substances is recommended before it is advisable to participate in spiritual work. The making of any audio or visual recording inside the Sanctuary of the Heart or of any part of an activity is not permitted.
