New economy

Thumbnail
This  group will focus on the writings of David Korten and Yes! magazine, devoted to raise awareness of the necessity and possibility of turning from Empire based thinking to Earth community orientation. I would like to see members studying David's works, and the magazine, in order to have structured, meaningful discussions. We will analyze and discuss the stories we are told and learn to recognize the lies embedded in these. We will also need to develop a new story that will inspire us to…See More

Reading Lists - Getting Up To Speed

Thumbnail
Sometimes we want to learn a subject and always the hardest part is just getting the basics.I had a recent experience here because I posted something that ended up showing that I was not even basically competent on the subject.  Rather than to feel guilty or upset over it I decided that perhaps a better way of handling it (as well as a number of other blind spots)  was to poll other members who have expertise in areas to give some idea of what books or other media is essential to getting a…See More

The human psyche and brain: psychology and theosophical perspectives

Thumbnail
As a student of psychology, I feel the need to introduce some current topics on psychological research so we can reflect on them and have some fruitful discussions with a theosophical perspective.Also, I think this field of study needs a boost so that we can shift from reductionistic views to a more holistic study of the human psyche that combines knowledge of all relevant disciplines, including, science, philosophy, theosophy, anthropology etc.. I have made it my career aim to enhance…See More

the Secret Doctrine - A Search

Thumbnail
Yes, we're having a reboot.  Kind of like the Star Trek movie.  This will be original and hopefully a lot of fun.What we hope to do is to learn some of the key ideas in the Secret Doctrine and give you the tools to do your own flavor of Theosopher. There will be several approaches, not only those that are  familiar, but some that draw on other theosophies and apply their methods to our work.Bring your creative caps and be prepared to have some fun...and watch out, you just may have a brand new…See More

FYI, I'll have to leave the conference shortly after it starts for a weekly group practice. I do plan on listening to the recording then when it is available.   OM

...please pardon my hyperbole. Yes, technically, it is as you say. And, yes, many might want more information.   It is my own personal charge (as in dislike based upon past experience(s)) that I don't like such things.

Martin, thanks again. I did register using name plus email and the email I received back didn't mention any date nor time at all. I'll hope I'm sent another one at some later date confirming the date (6/12) and time (10 am PT).…

Thanks Martin. And, I'm a bit perplexed. I registered and the email I received had no mention of any date(s) or time(s) at all! Since the mp3s are all available now for downloading, it would appear that the speakers have already completed their…

ornamentalmind commented on Joe Fulton's blog post 'Meanderings - August 16, 2010 - What's in a Cult? Deception as a Public Service'
The more draconian attacks and disappearances were in South America…so may not be of much import to you. Also, direct criticism of the head of a School I’ve been in for a while now as well as the organization itself.

Yes Joe, ‘The Church’ itself may be ‘much nicer’ these days… I just don’t ignore some of its enforcer arms like the Opus Dei. I’m spreading Leon’s research too. In my own way, I see this as showing…

After joining the Theosophical Network on Facebook, I noticed you have an interest in Neo-Platonism. I'm sure you are at least somewhat familiar with Henry More, the 17th century Cambridge Platonist. But, are you familiar with his amazing tutorial student and later colleague, Vizcountess Anne Conway?

Before I accept anybody as one of my friends, I would like to know who they really are? Or, see or read some of their creative works or correspondences... Also, I am curious as to what does "ornamentalmind" stand for? Normally, I think of ornaments as narcissistic showpieces or curios that have no other usefulness? Is that what your mind is like -- or does it produce or know (or desire to know) anything useful? If so, what is it? ;-)
