Tom Boyd, the National President of Theosophical Society in USA talked at HPB Lodge on 12 January 2012 on Elements of Spiritual Practice.

A balanced approach to the spiritual life involves a process of constant refinement. The freedom of an effortless awareness seems to require an evolving discipline, in the beginning, middle and end. We will examine the theoretical underpinnings of a spiritual practice and its practical elements. Our goal is to develop an effective, ongoing practice that can be an aid to us in all of the situations we face in life.

Below are some clips from Tim’s talk

Christmas Get-Together

Saturday 3rd December. 6:30 pm

As already advised by our special flyer, we are trying something a little bit different this year. A Pot Luck Dinner. We thought it would be good to enjoy the Brotherhood aspect of our Society by relaxing with fellow members, families and friends over a shared vegetarian meal.

So dress up in Christmassy colours and bring your favourite food (vegetarian/vegan to celebrate the Ahimsa approach to life).

NB] If your dish needs to be hot, could you heat it at home, wrap it up to keep it warm, and bring it ready to eat? That way we won’t have a traffic jam in our small kitchen, causing food to be ready at differing times.

As our Hall will be in use during the day, we will be gathering for our Get Together Dinner at 6.30pm, so could you gear your culinary efforts to that time.

Something to ponder as we approach the Christmas season…
“As history ever repeats itself, we may safely expect that, in the cycle of human life that is now opening, angels will once more walk and work with men. Already that spirit of unity and brotherhood which, despite our apparent separateness, is silently but steadily influencing our lives and times, is drawing together the human and angelic branches of the family of God. The labours of birth are surely drawing to a close. Mother Earth is even now being delivered of her youngest child; the new race is appearing, and the new civilization being built. No single continent will nurture the growing child, for the new race will people the whole earth. The birth and dwelling place of the children of the coming age will be of little moment, for they will be citizens of the world. Their glowing eyes will pierce the differences of colour and of race, for, in their hearts, they will know mankind as one.”

Extract from Geoffrey Hodson’s book, Angels and the New Race
