Motivational Video

A 91-minute motivational video extolling the power of thought. The presenters talk about the efficacy of positive thinking in realizing one’s desires. This is not a theosophical production. Although we cannot reconcile with it entirely, some of the suggestions do resonate somewhat with theosophical teachings.

We will be talking about both the higher and the lower mental planes. This is a continuation of the lectures on death and after and the astral plane. A short description of the heaven world and its inhabitants will be covered. Does everyone go to heaven? We shall soon find out.

The Mental Plane is also the realm of the Mind, i.e. the plane where thought arises. We will discuss further the subject of elemental kingdoms and the elemental essence that ensoul thoughts.
