Compassion: beyond meditation and mindfulness - Sunday 13 November 2016
THE HAGUE, Blavatskyhouse, De Ruyterstraat 74
On Sunday November 13th, the second talk of our series of eight English Theosophy Talks will start at 14:00 (doors open at 13:30) in the Blavatsky House in The Hague.
Meditation and mindfulness are often related to spirituality. But do these methods make us more spiritual? And can we help others by doing this? Is it an end in itself or a means, and if so for what purpose?
If we look at the traditions from which these methods came, they are always used in service of alleviating suffering in the world, i.e. compassion. Compassion has always been the only reason for existence of every true spiritual impulse.
This lecture will focus on how we can truly help to alleviate suffering in the world.
The Mystery of Consciousness: Heart and Mind - Lecture October 9th at 14:00

On Sunday October 9th, the first lecture of our series of eight English lectures will start at 14:00 (doors open at 13:30) in the Blavatsky House in The Hague.
Man is a mystery. But if you contemplate and dare to take a good look at yourself, the mystery can be solved. When you start to study your own consciousness thoroughly, you will understand that the answers to all questions in life can be found within yourself.
When you learn how to develop your thinking consciousness, not only your life becomes more meaningful, you will also become a positive force in our chaotic world.
This will be the first talk of our new series of Theosophy Talks on every 2nd Sunday at The Blavatskyhouse in The Hague. It also serves as an introduction to the course Thinking Differently that is now available in English .

The esoteric origin of human rights - Lecture May 8th at 14:00
THE HAGUE, Blavatskyhouse, De Ruyterstraat 74
On May 8th, the fifth lecture of our series of five English lectures will start at 14:00 in the Blavatsky House in The Hague.
For more than half a century we have a universal declaration of human rights. However, the application of these rights is far from universal in our world. What could be the cause of this problem and more important: what can we do to solve this?
To understand this problem we have to ask ourselves: What is universal? What are rights? Why are rights necessary?
Like the old sages, such as Lao-Tse and Plato, we can try to take a look beyond outer appearances.
In this lecture we will try to uncover the esoteric or hidden origin of human rights and find the universal Laws of Nature on which they are based. It leads to the inner power that the old sages discovered in themselves to change the world. The inner power that we can find and apply in our daily life to bring the world a step further to what it can be.
