Alchemy

Offering of sound to the temple you reside is a purification process. The space within is cleansed and is receptive to what is. The Sounds offered in this session may intensify your presence. And that, offering presence is said to be healing . The function of the instrument Gong and Singing Bowls are commonly used in sacred places to induce quietude and silence – the cosmic background Sound and space where life thrives best. This is a simple and gentle method to evoke stillness. And as a consequence, the act of doing is refined to be meditative and focused.

Rest and reconnect to your True Nature with Yoga Nidra and awaken to a life of unshakable peace and wellbeing. Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) is derived from the ancient tantric practice and is a unique combination of modern science and ancient yoga teachings. It is a guided mindfulness-based practice that focuses on body sensing, breathing techniques, emotional relaxation and guided consciousness meditation. Backed by science and research, the practice has been proven to assist with deep rest, stress, anxiety, insomnia, pain management and PTSD. Yoga Nidra can be a loving and supportive practice to living your best life. Life can be hard at times, sometimes really hard and we could all use a little support, self-care/love and rest from the mayhem. In this highly regenerative meditative state, we gently allow the sound and vibrations from the Gongs to shift and release stagnant energy and tension accumulated in the bodies. You can restore and rejuvenate your body, heal and recover from illness, and re-wire your brain for greater mental and emotional balance and resiliency.

*Introducing A Journey Into Self - a series that invites you to pause and turn your attention inward, through creative exploration and contemplative practice. This intimate series offers a doorway into deepening your understanding of and relationship with yourself—through poetry, art, and reflective journaling.* *In our special Valentine's Day edition of A Journey Into Self, we'll be using poetry as our first medium of exploration.* ​We want to be seen, to belong, to be loved. Despite being separate entities protecting our own self interests, ***we feel an irresistible yearning to connect ourselves to a greater whole***. ## ​**Join us as we explore:** * ​why we feel separate yet yearn for connection * ​deeper dimensions of connection * ​connecting with our inner or higher self * ​the unity that underlies all life ​**Poetry...** ​...is one of the ways humanity has expressed this yearning for connection, especially that of a much deeper one. Good poetry almost always forces us to look deeper into ourselves, to look closely at our inner struggles and pave a way for higher aspirations to shine through the mud. ​We’ll be writing our own poems on what connection means after a short meditation, allowing inspiration to flow from this deeper place of unity and oneness where connection does not need to be sought. ## ​**Format** 1. ​Sharing (15 min) 2. ​Discussion (20 min) 3. ​Meditation (5 min) 4. ​Poetry writing (20 min) 5. ​Poetry reading and sharing (15 min) ## ​**More about the Singapore Lodge Theosophical Society** ​*Founded in 1889, the Theosophical Society in Singapore is part of a global network that seeks to foster the pursuit of wisdom, compassion, and universal brotherhood. Rooted in the Greek word theosophia (divine wisdom), the Theosophy Society welcomes seekers belonging to any religion or to none.* ​*The Society offers resources, educational programs, and a community dedicated to open-minded inquiry into world religions, philosophy, science, and the arts in order to understand the wisdom of the ages, respect the unity of all life, and explore spiritual self-transformation.*

As you may or may not know--I didn't until late last year--Aristotle wrote extensively on "friendship" in the Nicomachean Ethics. After 69 years the concept of friendship still creates questions and uncertainty. I had close friends in high school and for a few years after high school but our interests diverged and people moved all over the country so it was hard to maintain connections. * So if I/you haven't talked with a friend for several years, are you still friends? Are we friends who meet at Drunken Philosophy or Omnipresent Atheists? * Can you be friends with someone with whom you have virulently divergent political views? Sartre and Camus could not. * Aristotle regarded friendship as essential to a good life, not merely an added "bonus." Do you agree? * In the Nicomachean Ethics (Books VIII and IX), he claims that wealth and power are meaningless without friends. Trump has wealth and power but seems to have no real friends, but wealth and power seem meaningful to him in perverted ways. Can you have meaning in your life without friends? * Do men and women view and maintain friendships in different ways? * Aristotle categorizes friendship into three types, based on what forms the bond: * **Utility**: Based on mutual benefit, but this type is fragile and ends when the usefulness ceases. * **Pleasure**: Based on shared enjoyment (e.g., humor, hobbies). Common among youth but fades as interests change. * **Virtue (The "Complete" Friendship)**: Based on mutual respect for each other's character and goodness. You wish good for the other for their sake, not yours. * **Key Principles of "True" (Virtuous) Friendship:** * **Permanence**: Virtuous friendships last a lifetime whereas those based on utility and pleasure are fleeting. * **Reciprocity**: Requires mutual goodwill; secret or unreciprocated affection does not qualify. * **The "Second Self"**: A true friend is "another self"—their virtue helps you understand and improve yourself. * **Time and Intimacy**: Deep ("complete") friendships are few, built on time and shared experiences. * **Self-Love and Friendship:** * Good friendship starts with being a friend to yourself. * They distinguish shallow egoism (chasing honors) from real self-love (pursuing virtue). * A virtuous person’s pleasant self-company allows them to be a stable, good friend to others. * Aristotle argues that one's social circle ultimately reflects one's character—a view with striking relevance today. Well--the Drunken Philosophy social circle certainly reflects good character!

This is a time where players of all ages, and skill levels can gather and enjoy a nice Sunday full of Chess!
