December
6th – Richard Brooks DVD"Wisdom,Knowledge and Belief"
In this DVD Richard asks, "How are we to evaluate the revelations found in different religions and spiritual traditions?" According to Dr. Brooks, Theosophical epistemology states that "Truth is not the exclusive possession of any one religion or group but is the common heritage of all serious seekers for it in all times and in all cultures." Another basic assumption of Theosophical epistemology is that "all truth is accessible to anyone who develops the powers to perceive it: ultimate truth is not accessible to only a chosen few, as many of the world's theologians claim." In this stimulating talk, Dr. Brooks examines the distinctions between wisdom, knowledge and belief.

“The Bhagavad-Gita”
We will finish this class Sunday the 6th. A new class will be announced shortly. This ongoing class will be using study materials which will take us through one of the most important books of Eastern thought. We will be using a Study Course created by Dr. John Algeo to help us understand the stories and teach us the ideas which are at the very core of Theosophical tenets.

The Divine Plan by G. Barborka Jim Freas/class leader
At present the class is engaged in a long-term study of “The Divine Plan”, a study guide to the Secret Doctrine, Helena Patrovna Blavatsky's greatest achievement, and the book that helped create a solid foundation for Esoteric Study in the west.
