Meditation is the primary form of service for those following a spiritual path. It is a means of cooperation and alignment with hierarchical intent. The new moon period follows upon the cycle of outbreathing in the rhythmic cycles of the breath; it is a time of pause wherein together we can establish a soul-mind-brain alignment. During this period we work in thought to concretize the ideas and impressions received at the time of the full moon period and undertake the sometimes difficult process of translating them into practical plans that can be of service in the world. The effect of this meditative effort is to enhance the many ways in which the “power of the one Life” and the “love of the one soul” are working out through all true servers everywhere. The meeting will be held in the Reading Room of our offices at 866 United Nations Plaza, Suite 482 and will include an exploration on the theme A New Psychology is Being Born, followed by group discussion and meditation. Please call or email us if you will be attending, or contribute your thoughts prior to the meeting and we will share them with the group when possible.
THEME: A New Psychology is Being Born
The first formal school of psychology was founded in Germany in 1879. Now, almost 150 years on, the field that was once dominated by the psychoanalytical school with a focus on the aberrations of the personality life, has blossomed to include many new approaches to treating and fostering mental health. In this meeting we will discuss the contributions laid out in esoteric psychology, which incorporate an understanding of the soul as the true healer. The esoteric understanding views each person as an energetic being, conditioned by a unique influx of energies emanating from the seven rays, the signs and planets. This new moon we will briefly explore some of the core principles of this incipient science and the contributions they can bring to finding one’s soul purpose.
Questions for reflection and discussion:
- What evidence do you see that the world may be ready for this new approach to psychology?
- How can this new psychology aid in human transformation?
- How can it help people move more successfully through periods of crisis in their lives?
