From Monads to Humans

A talk by our VP, Tang Kwok Choon:

“We saw how the Life Force managed by the Manu moved from one globe to another Round after Round, Chain after Chain, the Monads reincarnating and giving rise to more and more advanced races. We also have some idea of what happens to the men who attained the spiritual growth targeted for the respective Chain.

This is the big picture.

Now we look at what is happening at the micro level and flesh it out and see what actually happens and how Humans come into being”.

The Life of Buddha

From the Exoteric and Esoteric Perspectives

For the Exoteric perspective, we have this BBC History Documentary Video on the Story of Buddha’s Life. See the June 2016 Newsletter.

Following the video, we shall talk about the Life of the Buddha from the Esoteric perspective. This programme should be of interest to Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike.

J. Krishnamurti and the Search for Light

Choong Chi Pin continues his reading of this frank book by Geoffrey Hodson where he discusses the utterances of Mr. J. Krishnamurti. Geoffrey Hodson says:

“Incomprehensibility. In the preceding chapter I referred to the denunciations of The TS, its leaders, inner and outer, and its whole membership... In this chapter I refer to ... the confusion of thought into which he throws so many of those who listen to him. Question after question shows that after seven years or more people are still unable to grasp either what he is trying to say or in what way his teachings may be practically applied to life. A significant phrase occurs in the "Newsletter," of March, 1937. There we read that "after the many discussions a certain sense of their futility became apparent".... ”

 

The Earthly Jesus & The Heavenly Christ

Hauw Tio Hiong talks about Pauline Theology from a Theosophical perspective.

We have seen why for millenniums the Jews and the Muslims do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah, and why for more than a century many scholars have come to conclude that Jesus is a Jewish Rabbi who taught Apocalypse, that Christianity is not a religion based on His teachings, and that Paul is the real founder of Christianity. In this presentation we will take a look at what Pauline Theology is and why his teachings contain wisdom when viewed from a Theosophical perspective.
