Hi everyone!
I am happy to introduce our 18th session focusing titled: Meditation, Consciousness, and The Mind in the Occult. As of now, our new meeting place will be in the Crowned Eagle in Paquis (see address for full location). However, the same warm atmosphere and vibrant community still remains to welcome you to the event and I hope you can attend! The meeting will take place on May 7 at 18:30 - 20:30.
Introduction to the topic - Every branch of the occult, every facet of mysticism, and every aspect of the esoteric ties into the mind and our consciousness. From the most ancient yogic / tantric traditions to the most modern practices like Chaos Magick, we have used our minds to interact with the spiritual world and to practise spiritual / magical traditions. In this use, we all have engaged with the idea of consciousness, a topic that still eludes accurate definition by science today. But what is consciousness or the mind? Individuals such Carl Jung gave us some answers in the form of the collective unconsciousness while others gave rise to the ideas of the godhead.
And where does meditation fit into all of this? For many, meditation could be relegated to an exercise of concentration or stress relief, but it is so much more. Meditation is an entire universe of practices that allow us to ultimately engage effectively with the spiritual and the non-corporeal. But even more than that, meditation is a way to re-engage with our consciousness and to sharpen the mind towards spiritual elevation. In this session, we will approach all of these topics in an open and broad way, which I hope helps to expand our perception of these profound concepts.
Our agenda for this event is as follows:
- Introductions + Catchup (20 minutes)
- Intro to the topic (15 minutes)
- Questions and discussion on the topic (65 minutes)
- Closing and goodbyes (20 minutes)
For those who wish to stay for after discussion drinks, they are more than welcome! I am looking forward to welcoming you all there. As usual, if there are any questions, please contact me by WhatsApp - +41798309119.
Please note the guest limit for this is a maximum of 10 people due to seating limitations at the venue. I will not be able to accept more people after this.
