Topic: Life After Death II
Presenter: Wendy Dixon
About the presenter: Dr Wendy Dixon is a long term member of the Theosophical Society, joining the youth group in Auckland as a 12 year old and becoming a member at 16. She studied with Geoffrey Hodson and Charles Marresh. She is a devotee of the foundational works of Madame Blavatsky, Besant, Leadbeater, Hodson, Krishnamurti and Taimni in particular. In her earlier life, Wendy had an international career as an operatic soprano soloist and she still performs as a recitalist with David Miller - piano. Now that she has retired from paid work she divides her time between Theosophical, Tibetan Buddhist and musical activities.
About the presentation: Theosophical literature offers us a broad understanding of what happens to our personality after what we term death. Death, we are told, is merely a transition from one plane of nature to another plane of nature - our consciousness continues even though the physical body ceases to be home for everything we regard as ‘our self’. This is not just book knowledge, it is a blueprint for us to learn more about how we can prepare ourselves for this process and understand our ongoing evolution. On a practical level we explore the gradual dissolution of the Etheric and Astral bodies after the point of physical death. We then learn how the Higher Self withdraws from physical life and continues its evolution and lessons in the astral and mental planes. Our evolution continues throughout our time in Devachan, as we dwell there until the urge for rebirth occurs.
