We are living at a time of remarkable change. Whether we consider our individual lives or the consciousness of humanity, change appears to be the abiding keynote in every department of life. Humanity itself can be seen as awakening from a long historical slumber, along with the global crises that have arisen as a result.
Given this moment, an important question arises: how can individuals become better allies in support of the Soul of Humanity as it seeks to externalize itself during this transitional period in human history? Answering this question requires consideration of the destiny and purpose of the individual human soul.
In this seminar, William Meader examines the question of spiritual purpose from several perspectives, with emphasis on understanding the differing soul types known as the Seven Rays and how each uniquely contributes to humanity’s upliftment. Various astrological indicators of the soul’s purpose are also considered, along with the importance of establishing an inner Point of Tension within the meditative life.
Additional topics include:
• The soul’s destiny and societal change
• Examination of the trend of thought
• The process of Penetration – Polarization – Precipitation
• Service and the Principle of Right Relationship
• Accessing the field of potentiality
*Both in-person and online registrants will receive on-demand access to recording(s) that can be viewed for four weeks following the conclusion of the program.
*In-person attendees may bring a vegetarian lunch or eat at a nearby restaurant during the lunch break.
