How very timely to receive a note today from the Theosophical Community extending resources from Theosophical Saturdays to the online community! Just yesterday afternoon I was in a meeting with a fellow study group member to brainstorm ideas on activities (beyond discussing the content of DVD's and books) for our study group. The resources from Theosophical Saturdays' Music, Dance and Theosophy presents several ideas that our group might find engaging, enriching, expressive and entertaining (i.e., FUN).

I can hardly wait to share this with the group...who knows, maybe they'll even rush home to sign up for the Theosophical Community themselves.

BRAVO to Olcott Library and the Theosophical Community...Thanks!

“The Meaning of Life.”

“What is the meaning of human life, or of organic life all together? To answer this question at all implies a religion. Is there any sense then, you ask, in putting it? I answer, the man who regards his own life and that of his fellow-creatures as meaningless is not merely unfortunate but almost disqualified for life.”
Albert Einstein(from “The World as I See It”)

Thanks indeed for making possible the access to these great studies to all of us who can’t be physically present.

May the Masters bless this TC with Divine Light and Love.

Yours fraternally,

Sister D.
