REINCARNATION AND LIFE REVIEW
Rev. Carol E. Parrish, Ph.D.

An in-depth look at a suspect topic—is it fact or fiction? Does a belief in reincarnation inhibit Christians or enrich the Faith? Rev. Leslie Weatherhead thought it did. When asked, "Can Christians dance?" he? replied, "Some can, and some can't." Benjamin Franklin wrote his epitaph to read, "The Body of B. Franklin, Printer, Like the Cover of an Old Book, Its Contents torn Out and Stripped of its Lettering and Gilding, Lies Here Food for Worms, But the Work shall not be Lost, for it Will as He Believed Appear Once More In a New and more Elegant Edition Revised and Corrected by the Author." Likewise, Walt Whitman wrote "And other births will bring us richness and variety. And as to you, Life, I reckon you are the leavings of many deaths, (No doubt I have died myself ten thousand times before)" as he let the world know he embraced the idea. We shall explore richly. This can be a life-changing experience for many.

It is estimated that 75% of the world believes in the theory of rebirth. Come and have your own experiences; discover your personal opportunities to integrate new insights. This course will offer theory and history, emphasizing the experimental. An advantage of a long life and a major reason it is considered a blessing is that the closing stage is for our internal life review. If we enfold and digest our experiences of the present life, we are born more free than if we fail to do so. The last ten years of a long lifetime is the review stage. In this class we will see how our present life fits with some of our past and how to piece together some of the experiences we have had this time with previous lessons and learnings. What can we learn? Much.

Bring personal tape recorders (with batteries only), blank cassettes, notebook, and comfortable clothing.
$225/250, includes lunch

AGNI YOGA: Life from a Modern Ethical Perspective
Rev. Carol E. Parrish, with contributions by
Rev. Margaret Stephens and Rev. Brenda Cutrell

A modern approach to spirituality, Agni Yoga emphasizes the daily practice of ethical living, devotion, and purification of our physical, emotional, and mental bodies. Formation and application of a living ethic and development of virtues in the personality are based on a series of themes, not rigid disciplines. Students learn to integrate ideology, theology, and service into their lives. The Agni path affirms the importance of meditation to the work of clearing glamours and illusions to connect to our inner wisdom. Connections of these enigmatic teachings to Kabalah and the Bailey materials will also be explored.

TRAINING OF THE INITIATE:
Techniques of Maturing the Basic Self
Rev. Margaret Stephens

On the Path of Return the aspirant must learn to develop a loving and balanced relationship with the instinctual nature, called "basic self" in the Huna wisdom tradition, and to appropriately utilize each level of consciousness. During this class the subconscious or basic self (which remembers everything) will be respectfully invited to move beyond the defense systems it constructed in its attempt to protect the vulnerable self within. As the basic self learns to trust the safety of the class environment, it will be shown how to release old memories and scar tissue that block the full expression of the authentic inner self. Harmony and balance can be restored and the conscious mind can experience a renewed sense of well-being and authentic power.
30 CEU hours for LCSW, ACSW, LADC, CADC

October 12
Sunday, 3 - 5 PM: HEART/MIND BLESSING

During this blessing, the recipient remains fully clothed, lying on a healing table, while one of the ancient biblical healing oils is intuitively chosen for him or her. The ritual, inspired by the desire to be in resonance with the loving compassionate heart of God, establishes a connection and an energy balance between the heart and the mind. The blessing takes about 20 minutes and recipients make donations to support the work of the Wellness Center.

Tuija Robbins
Anubis-Pluto and the Return of Quetsalquatel:
Humanity upon the Scales

Humanity is in the midst of a decisive crisis long foretold. From the time the Hierarchy was founded on our planet more than eighteen million years ago, from the time of the ancient Temple of Ibez, the days which are now upon us were anticipated. We have the privilege and onerous responsibility of living through this critical era and of assisting humanity to make the Great Transition which lies before it.

As the planet Pluto moves into the sign Capricorn (the sign of initiation and the underworld) its power will assert itself strongly to assist humanity to tread the Path of Redemption and Initiation. The ancient Egyptians knew all about Pluto. They called it Anubis, the God Who was to lead Osiris (or ‘Everyman’) to the Scales of Justice in the underworld. Thus was Osiris prepared for initiation and for eventual release from the lower worlds and the cycle of reincarnation.

Humanity en masse is facing initiation. The Great Lord, the Christ, was honoured in the ancient South American Mysteries as Quetsalquatel – the “Winged Serpent,” returning now to visibility. This return will signify that humanity has actually taken the first initiation—the Birth of the Christ in the collective heart.

Together we will examine the fascinating relationship between the Pluto/Anubis Mystery and the Mystery of the “Feathered Serpent”—the Solar Angel Who guides every human being into the Mysteries of Initiation and into ultimate freedom as Horus, the Son of the Sun.

Humanity today is upon the scales and Pluto has entered Capricorn this year, 2008. This we must realize and take seriously so that we may emerge whole from the process of Judgment—whole, purified and ready for the immense initiatory possibilities of the New Age.
