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'.

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.”
