EVOKING THE SOUL OF THE NATIONS
Saturday, 10th November 2007
1.00 pm to 5.30 pm
Thistle Hotel Victoria,
101 Buckingham Palace Road, London SW1W 0SJ
At the heart of every nation lies latent the mystical soul and eventually—after dire struggle and distress— all will be well. Tendencies towards materialism and towards personality achievement must, under the larger plan and the will-to-good, be offset by a counter move of spiritual living. Every nation — without exception — has its peculiar virtues and vices which are dependent upon the point in evolution, the measure of control of the personality ray, the emerging control of the soul ray, and the general focus of the nation.
( Alice Bailey)
An afternoon of talks, discussion and meditation on how to identify and help stimulate the higher aspects of national consciousness.
