A Study in Consciousness Study Class

Will, Desire, and Emotion

Commencement of Part II of A Study in Consciousness, an informative book by Annie Besant.

Chong Sanne resumes A Study in Consciousness, as we explore Part II of the book. As the study of Will, Desire and Emotion is of general interest, it is thought beneficial to share it at regular Lodge meetings, and open to all. We start by understanding The Will to Live and the Nature of Desire

Meditation in Action

A talk by Brandon Goh.

“In the rush of our busy modern lives, finding peace and deeper states of being often feels like an impossible task. Many of us try to retreat into silence, only to find that the noise of the day follows us. While formal meditation is valuable, it is not enough to still the momentum of a busy day. The key is an integral meditation that does not reject life, but embraces it as a field of practice. We will explore principles of ‘right action’ and how to gather every movement of the day into a natural flow towards our spiritual ideal.”

I Wonder Why

A talk by Choong Tsui Wei.

“Mental development distinguishes man from all other animals in this mind-ridden civilisation. Armed with this, man tends to work closely with the Law of Probability and approach life rather statistically. However, life as we know it, is neither really consistent nor predictable. Have you ever wondered why? Have you ever wondered what mystery lies behind this? And, for that matter, can our lives be ‘made’ more predictable with this realisation?”

The Way of The Path

A talk by Francis Lim.

“Is taking precepts, chanting mantras or even doing frequent charity work sufficient to exhaust our karmic debts so that we can live a life that is aligned with the Path?

We shall explore possible methods and practices to achieve spiritual awakening, self realisation and eventual enlightenment.”
