                                          MEETING ON AUGUST 1, 2026

Presentation:        Steps to Higher Consciousness – Part 1

Speaker:               Pablo Sender

Time:                    10:00 a.m.

Brief Description of the Presentation:

According to Theosophy, our true nature is that of spiritual beings. As such, we are eternal, complete, and connected to everything. However, we have forgotten this reality and become identified with our temporary physical existence. This mistaken identity is the source of selfishness, fear, greed, and competition, which create the majority of our societal afflictions. The cure for all these ills lies in the realization of our true nature, an endeavor that requires intelligent and active work on our part. In this workshop, we will explore practical methods to ascend through the steps delineated in the talk, “The Spiritual Ascent from Selfishness to Illumination.” We will explore practices aimed at:

·       Purifying our emotional nature

·       Cultivating a discerning mind

·       Stimulating spiritual aspirations

·       Developing the ability to contemplate abstract realities

These practices include meditation, exercises of self-knowledge, and the application of these teachings in our daily lives. Part 1 of 2.
