🙌 Miami/Deerfield Theosophical Society
July 2023 Classes
“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together…” Hebrews 10:25
In-person gatherings assist us in recognizing our humanness, in voicing our needs and coming together in energetic ways that technological ways do not. Classes are open to the public on a Donation basis, balancing giving and receiving.
Theosophical Society Mission Statement: “To serve humanity by cultivating an ever-deepening understanding and realization of the Ageless Wisdom, spiritual self-transformation, and the unity of all life.”
One chief value of Theosophical Society membership lies in the insight into certain fundamental truths —Laws of Reincarnation, Karma, and Brotherhood of Man—knowledge of which offers inspiration, hope, and contentment. Knowledge becomes increasingly valuable, transmutes into service, and increases through companionship of other members who know, all joining together in the great work of quickening evolution and uplifting the world. As one lives the truths, they become part of us, while joining forces with members of the Society holding the same ideals and beliefs. Friendships form, increasing cooperative efforts led by great spiritual and temporal force, for the helping and guiding of humanity. (P. Pavri. B.Sc., L.C.E., Theosophy Explained In Questions And Answers)
If you are already a member of the Theosophical Society in America, you can join our lodge by filling out and mailing in the Membership Application at our website.

“Awaken your Inner Superhero” with Coach Cary Bayer
Superheroes aren’t just comic book fantasies for kids, says Zen Teachings of Superheroes author Cary Bayer; they’re mythic archetypes who embody your own sleeping inner potential. Their dual identities will remind you of your own dual nature: your small self–or social role that you play–and your higher Self, which is a spark of the Divine. And the powers they display are examples of the latent abilities documented centuries ago in The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. This presentation helps you locate the Fortress of Solitude and Batcave deep within you. You may not leave it with the ability to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but you might change the course of the mighty river of your life, and develop a resolve to live a fuller life committed to making a difference for truth, justice and the universal way.
Cary Bayer is author of Zen Teachings of Superheroes, a former teacher of Transcendental Meditation and trainer of its teachers, and the founder of Higher Self Healing Meditation. He is proud to say that he owns an authentic Superman costume. Learn more at Cary Bayer.

“Dying Mindfully”
with Markus Edmiston
Many people read, plan and prepare prior to the birth of a first child, similarly it makes sense to apply thoughtfulness and care preparing for your dying. If you became aware you were about to die at home, where specifically would be the best place for you? Is there a mantra or music you’d like to play in your mind? Preparedness for the road ahead helps to bring clarity of mind to whatever we do, a sense “this is not our first time at the rodeo”, even if it is. It even allows us to ‘ad lib’ more harmoniously if we want to. Based on the practice of A Year to Live by Stephen Levine.
Theosophist Markus has had several ‘lives’ (he likes cats and dogs, but as a Leo born in the year of the Tiger, his personality seems to be closer to a cat, but with more laughter!). A regular speaker at our lodge on various topics, he continues to facilitate online ACIM Study Groups.

“All About Karma”
with Jane (Janani) Cleary
While everyone is familiar with the term karma, it’s meaning is often interpreted in different ways. This talk will focus on the actual Sanskrit meaning of the word. From that definition, it will be made clear how it actually impacts your life and why knowing about it can provide clarity and direction as you live your life now.
Janani studied under Swami Dayananda Saraswati who conducted an accredited course of study at Sandeepany Sadhanalaya at Mumbai, India, in 1978. Since returning to the U.S., she has been teaching Vedanta classes in affiliation with Arsha Vidya Gurukulam, Saylorsburg, Pennsylvania. She has taught the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads at our lodge for the past twenty-four years and serves on the Board as Member-at-Large.
