🙌 Miami/Deerfield Theosophical Society
Class Update
A Message From Brian Burns, President of the Theosophical Society (T.S.) of Miami-Deerfield Beach/South Florida: Dear Members and Friends, We are living in a moment in time when our society is constantly feeding us a diet of fear and anxiety. We do not have to eat that dish! In many of his statues, the Buddha is depicted with his right hand pointing straight up. That gesture represents what he is telling us, “Be without fear.” As spiritual practitioners, it is our duty and purpose to face all situations with an attitude of fearless optimism and that is the way we look towards our Spring semester here at the Theosophical Society. We are approaching this coming season with new speakers and exciting events so please stay without fear and know the Theosophical Society is an Oasis away from fear and anxiety. NAMASTE
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.”

“Thomas Jefferson & Maharishi: Enlightenment & The Enlightenment” with Cary Bayer
Thomas Jefferson envisioned some of the highest principles for any government in the world in his Declaration of Independence. A thinker, influenced by philosophers of the Enlightenment, he inspired countless others and helped usher in a whole new age of enlightened views of democracy.
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who helped make meditation a household word around the world with his Transcendental Meditation, also envisioned an age of Enlightenment.
We’ll celebrate the Fourth of July with a comparative look at some of the writings of both of these great men and the expanded visions they each expressed.
Cary Bayer is a life coach, former teacher of Transcendental Meditation (TM) and trainer of teachers of TM, and the founder of Higher Self Healing Meditation. He is also creator of the workshop, “Peace Trumps Hate: Tools for Political & Spiritual Empowerment.” Learn more about Cary at CaryBayer.com

“Eyes Of The Soul: The Science of Seership” VIDEO with Kurt Leland
Join us for a presentation of the 129th Summer National Convention of the Theosophical Society in America that explores what psychology can tell us about the soul and in what ways, if any, it can help us on the spiritual path.
Kurt Leland, fascinated with the possibilities of consciousness, had his first astral projection experiences at age 14. Researching such experiences led him to the writings of Robert Monroe, Jane Roberts, Annie Besant and Theosophy; cross-cultural studies of the Egyptian, Tibetan, Hindu, and Buddhist sacred text; as well as ancient and modern theories of dreams, shamanic journeys, and near-death experiences. An award-winning poet, composer, and author, he compiled Invisible Worlds: Annie Besant on Psychic and Spiritual Development (Quest, 2013), and maintains an intuitive counseling practice in the Boston area.

Kenopanishad ~ Facilitator: Janani Clearyhttps://zoom.us/j/3406182173
Meeting ID: 340 618 2173 Passcode: 123456
This short and basic Upanishad from the second section of the Vedas is a short but complete unfoldment of non-duality. It uses carefully crafted descriptions that give the mind a good mental workout that are as refreshing and enervating as they are self-revealing!
Spirituality is a very serious subject…isn’t it? Spirituality can be defined as being affiliated with the human spirit or soul rather than the physical or material. Many think that in order to be spiritual, we must study, meditate, pray, etc. What could humor possibly have to do with spirituality? Everything! It is said that young children laugh as much as 100 to 200 times a day, compared to a large majority of adults who only get zero to several daily laughs. Prepare to join the laughter as we explore this humorous topic!
We do appreciate all contributions. If you wish to donate, please do so by mailing your donation to:
