Topic: Understanding Blavatsky III: Depicting the Spiritual Path
Presenter: Dr. Jim Cloutman
About the Presentation: November’s talk by Canberra TS member Jim Cloutman is the last in a three-part series on H.P. Blavatsky’s writings and follows from his presentations in April 2024 and in September this year. In the first presentation Jim unpacked the concept of the ‘One Life’, the cornerstone of Blavatsky’s works. In the second presentation he explained the vast fractal nature (scale-free structure) of our living Universe and of our One Life at all levels, and Its bit by bit, incremental evolution and development.
The third (and last) presentation in this series looks at how Blavatsky and her successors depicted the spiritual path. With the first two presentations focused on unpacking HPB's writings so as to make them more accessible and understandable, this session, in the same vein, explores a practical approach to the 'Path' that Blavatsky laid out for Theosophists.
About the Presenter: Jim joined the TS at 16, and` has an honours degree in comparative religion from King’s College, London University. He has a PhD in adult education and is an educationalist by profession. Jim is now designing and developing new ways of learning for adult learners after working on a project with the NSW government to develop learning programs in emotional intelligence.
