The Laws, Theosophy & the Shadow

PRECEDED BY HERMAN HESSE VIDEO AT 11:00AM
Join, Stephen Fiyalko, President of the Melbourne Theosophical Society, at 1:30pm on Saturday 8 November for a talk and practical workshop in follow-up to that delivered last September which looked at life’s purpose as one becomes aware of, engages with and embraces the process of transformation.
This talk considers the nature of transformational choice particularly in the context of the Laws of the Universe, theosophy and the hidden Shadow which was also a focus of Dr. Carl Jung’s work.
The Laws themselves suggest that who we consider ourselves to be based on our nature, personality, knowledge, karma, education, emotions, social constraints, habits, ego, mind and the hidden shadow self can form a barrier to perceiving the world as it is because according to the Laws (principles not rules) perception based on comparison and judgement clouds clarity of mind.
The question is asked: how can the choices on the path to spiritual transformation we make be well-grounded without clarity of mind?
Does the answer relate to the possibility that transformation is a continuous process which can be facilitated by our growing awareness of the Laws of the Universe and the influence of the hidden Shadow.
The talk and workshop will consider the practicality of embracing with compassion and joy every aspect of our whole being which work in tandem within the Laws to teach us the lessons of awareness needed to take us forward on the path of spiritual transformation.
The point is made that the Laws themselves have purpose; that our journeys are very personal; that we learn by our own choices at our own pace; but we can benefit from sharing our journeys together.
Handouts will be provided.
