THE SECRET DOCTRINE
A Seven-Session Course with Ed Abdill

The Secret Doctrine is an extraordinary two-volume work on cosmogenesis and anthropogenesis. Moreover, it is a book that appeals to our higher faculties. For many, pondering its gems has a transformative effect in their lives. Many students have found that reading The Secret Doctrine from cover to cover results in confusion. To facilitate understanding we will select and discuss the most important concepts in the work, beginning with what Blavatsky calls the three fundamental propositions upon which the entire Theosophical philosophy is based. Once students have a better grasp of those propositions and other key concepts in the book, they will be better able to understand more when they read further in The Secret Doctrine. To help the student get a better grasp of the concepts, light homework will be assigned, but it will not be required. Readings will be assigned from two texts:
The Secret Doctrine, two volumes plus an index; and Getting Acquainted with the Secret Doctrine. Both are published by the Theosophical Publishing House and are available at the Quest Bookshop and the NYTS Library.

Gaining Control of Your Thoughts, A Mystical Approach
with Madis Senner

Suggested donation $10-$15.

Our thoughts exert a tremendous influence on us and create our reality. Getting control of your thoughts is critical to succeed in life; as the Bhagavad-Gita tells us,

“For him who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends; but for one who has failed to do so, his very mind will be the greatest enemy.” (Bhagavad-Gita 6.6.)

This workshop will approach your thoughts from a mystical perspective, teaching concepts from New Thought, Vedanta, Theosophy and others to show you how to work with thoughts to improve your life and the world around you. It will teach you:

• How our thoughts work
• Various concepts—the law of attraction, the character of our thoughts, samskaras
• Getting Control of your thoughts
• How our mind body dynamic works.
• Why negativity and materialism will diminish your health and soul
• How you can use your thoughts to better tap into Mother Earth to improve your health
• Secrets for creating stronger thought forms
• How to create thought forms to improve your spiritual quest and make a better world

This is not the workshop for you if you are looking to learn how to use your thoughts to make more money or material gain. A demonstration will be provided showing how the universe treats such selfish behavior: Article on Thoughts

Madis Senner left Wall Street in 1997 to start a spiritual journey. In 2002 he felt called to get people to pray around Onondaga Lake in Syracuse, where the Haudenosaunee prophet the Peacemaker had planted the tree of peace. That began his quest to explore upstate New York’s sacred sites. He is the author of The Way Home: Making Heaven on Earth, just released in November 2009.

Quantum Activist
with Amit Goswami

There is a revolution going on in science, a genuine paradigm shift. While mainstream science remains materialist, a substantial number of scientists are supporting and developing a paradigm based on the primacy of consciousness. Dr. Amit Goswami, Ph.D., a pioneer of this revolutionary perspective within science, will share with us his vision of the unlimited potential of consciousness as the ground of all being, and how this revelation can actually help us live better.

Amit Goswami is a retired theoretical nuclear physicist and member of The University of Oregon Institute for Theoretical Physics since 1968, teaching physics for 32 years.
