Title of DVD: Desire, Inner Selfishness, and the Theosophical Society

Speaker: Edward Abdill

Time: 10:00 a.m.

Brief Description of the Zoom Presentation: 

Edward Abdill recently gave this talk online for the European School of Theosophy back in December 2020. Here is a summary of his presentation: “In The Voice of The Silence we are told to kill out desire. Yet surely it must have some purpose. If we look closely at the obvious and subtle forms of desire, we may discover both its purpose and the dangers that are a threat to our own Inner Self. We may also discover how the most subtle form of desire, inner selfishness, can harm the work of the Theosophical Society. By examining the nature of desire we may learn to use it rightly.” 2020. 35 minutes.

 Short Bio of the Speaker:

Edward Abdill joined the Theosophical Society in New York in 1959 when he was 24 years old. He is the author of The Secret Gateway—Modern Theosophy and the Ancient Wisdom Tradition and Masters of Wisdom, the Mahatmas, Their Letters, and The Path. He will soon publish A Journey to the Real, Memoirs of a Theosophist. Ed is past Vice President of the Theosophical Society in America and past President of the New York Theosophical Society.
