As sure as every act of devotion and reverence awakens the Souls powers for higher knowledge, every act of criticism and judgement drives those powers away.
The talk
The spiritual is not understood today we believe often that mental growth is spiritual. The heart and the positive emotions are of a Spiritual nature. The mind is from Matter. The mind builds the sense of I, the heart builds awareness of others. “As food is the physical body, higher emotions are to the Soul.” --- Rudolf Steiner.
The presenter
Barry Bowden is currently a National Lecturer for The Theosophical Society in Australia. He is the Coordinator of the Toowoomba Group. He has an interest in Theosophy - how it relates in a practical way to daily life, on a larger level it outlines the reason for life itself. Barry likes to discuss with people what is Wisdom, no matter what the source. How a progressive understanding of evolution, gives deep meaning to life, and illuminates the beauty behind the plan. Evolution itself that unfolds the hidden beauty of Wisdom, and it flowers within.
Barry has toured New Zealand 3 times talking in over 20 places in both Islands. Also speaking at the South American Convention. He has formed a deep connection with nature, formed from many years of Bio-Dynamic farming. This has given a practical understanding of life, which is extremely useful in studying Theosophy.
