54th A Course in Theosophy

Lecture 5: The Mental Plane

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. Hence, this lecture serves as an introduction to 'thought-forms', one of the most important aspects of nature. This lecture is useful, if not a prerequisite for the 6th lecture on 'Thought-Forms'.

54th A Course in Theosophy

Lecture 6: Thought-Forms

This is probably the most important lecture in the whole course as knowledge of thought-forms will help us conduct ourselves better and live a life in harmony with nature. The lecture will include the following: What are thought-forms? How your thoughts affect others, near or far from you. The virtue of having the right thoughts and the consequences of bad thoughts.

54th A Course in Theosophy

Lecture 7: The Noble Eightfold Path

The subject of this last lecture is on 'The Noble Eightfold Path'. This lecture gives the guidelines on how to quicken the evolutionary pace; the perfection of virtues and the ideals of right living. We will talk about how to live the life of a true theosophist and finding peace and joy in the process, in other words, the application of theosophical knowledge. This last lecture wraps up A Course in Theosophy.

Understanding Karma

All members and friends are welcome to participate in the discussion on this great eternal law of Nature—the Law of Cause and Effect or better known as the Law of Karma. The subject is open to the audience for topical discussion following an introduction by Chong Sanne. This programme will be particularly useful for those who attended the recent ACT 54.

Occult Writings

A talk by our VP, Tang Kwok Choon.

“Can occult writings be proven? What does everyday experiences tell us? The Secret Doctrine is largely written as a reasoning in deduction. Isis Unveiled is written as a reasoning in induction. We will explore how each method of argument reinforce each other as proof. We will see how well they match up in real life.

And then explore some controversial questions that linger in our minds such as ‘Why are there wars and conflict?’ If wars are evil why does the Manu go to war? Why does a Logos send fragments of himself into manifestation just to let it return to itself?

Theosophy is not about learning facts. Although the principles are listed as ‘Doctrines’, Theosophy wants us to think critically.”
