About this Event
In todays Special Divine Service we will hear the late western Master of Yoga, Dr. George King, share critical insights for spiritual growth and fulfillment.
Most spiritually minded individuals today, and throughout history, unintentionally fall into the same trap: choosing only the spiritual practices & activities they enjoy… and quietly ignoring the ones that require courage, effort, or sacrifice.
The ‘selective spirituality trap’ is the #1 block to spiritual progress keeping many from the true greatness they are capable of.
This event is your chance to hear—and deeply understand—what it really means to walk the spiritual path in full and why it is so important!
Dr King observes how individuals, religions, and even nations take what they want from sacred teachings—and leave out what challenges them.
He further illustrates how this has weakened major religions through history, and warns how the same mistake can happen within any spiritual movement—even the ones we follow ourselves—if we are not vigilant.
He challenges us, including those within his own organisation, The Aetherius Society, to rise above selective spirituality and instead embrace the full spectrum: the joyful, the difficult, the inspiring, and the demanding.

Why This Event Matters Now
We live in a world where:
many seek only spiritual comfort

and even fewer are willing to take action when it counts
This event is a wake-up call—a reminder that true spiritual advancement does not lie in quiet meditation alone but in the fusion of inner development and active service.
If you want to:
- deepen your understanding of the real spiritual path
- avoid the “selective spirituality trap”
- strengthen your purpose and resolve
- make a difference
— this event provides profound insight and inspiration!
“Throughout the ages, both individuals and sections of individuals, and even countries, have picked a little bit from some religion—a little bit that they liked—and have dropped the rest. Christianity is what it is today upon Earth because this has happened. It has depreciated into churchianity because this has happened. There is not a country in the world today, not one single country, which is a Christian country—a true Christian country.”
— Dr George King from the address The Difference Between the Mystic and the Occultist

Action vs. withdrawal: The Mystic and the Occultist
Dr. King explains why the true spiritual worker must be both:

Withdrawal into bliss while ignoring suffering is not enlightenment. Service must come first. Always.

What to expect in this Divine Service
Sunday mornings are a time when our community comes together for a Divine Service. This always includes an address, sometimes a minister will give an address or we will play an address given by a minister at one of our centres overseas. We also sometimes play recorded addresses by Dr King.
Our services generally also involve:
♦ Mantras and mudras (hand signs) to help us to attune ourselves prior to joining together in prayers
♦ Short readings from the teachings of The Aetherius Society
♦ When you arrive we will provide you with a prayer booklet so you can join in the prayers if you wish.
♦ T here is no kneeling and you can participate in the prayers as much or as little as you like.
Ministers leading our Services wear religious robes and some Members of the congregation have been given initiations and will therefore also wear robes to reflect these.
If you wish to learn the mantras and mudras (hand signs) that are being used to help attune ourselves prior to joining together in prayer, just ask the person who greeted you on your arrival and they will assist you.
After the service we relax and socialise over tea, coffee and biscuits.
Anyone is welcome to join these Sunday morning services.
