Greetings,
This month's class themes highlight the seeming polarities of Science and Spirituality, Masculine and Feminine, and Sex and Love. Both of these classes will explore synthesis as the agent for reconciliation and discovering wholeness at a higher level of consciousness and understanding.
Did you know that you are able to register for the morning lecture sessions of any of our Grad Week trimesters even though not enrolled as a graduate student? Well, you can, and we would love to have you join us. Please contact our Registrar at 800-386-7161 for reduced registration prices for the week-long lecture sessions.
Looking forward to seeing you on campus.

September 7 - 11 GRADUATE PROGRAM TRIMESTER III: CONVERGENCE OF SCIENCE AND SPIRITUALITY Divine Alchemy: Synthesizing Science and Spirituality Rev. Robert Willson, Ph.D.
 We will explore the problem of reconciling a divided world view which is the goal for the enlightened in religion, with the apparent reality of duality and separatism which is the world view of science. An understanding of spiritual models of the world, both modern and ancient, will help illumine a path that points toward the synthesis of both science and spirituality.

Toward a New Manner of Relationship By Kathy Newburn The Esoteric Quarterly, Winter 2007
 This article is an introduction to relationships from the perspective of the Ageless Wisdom teachings. It presents possible ways in which relationships might change under the impress of the incoming energies of Aquarius and the seventh ray. Basis of Relationship
" Love, for many people, for the majority indeed, is not really love but a mixture of the desire to love and the desire to be loved, plus a willingness to do anything to show and evoke this sentiment, and consequently to be more comfortable in one's own interior life. The selfishness of the people who are desirous of being unselfish is great."1 The keynote of initiation is relationship. It is only natural, therefore, that during this period of transition and heightened initiatory experience all forms of life are being disrupted, including the forms of our relationships. Distortions in this area of living always occur when a civilization is crumbling and the old order is giving way to the new. So it is today as we pass through this period of the "withering of the Law." Read more (link to PDF) Used with permission.

September 14 - 18 ESOTERIC UNDERSTANDING OF SEX, LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS Rev. Carol E. Parrish
 A new and different understanding of intimate relationships can be found in spirituality. Sexuality, marriages and partnerships have great contributions to make in our daily lives and much of it happens without awareness. We shall explore levels of consciousness and the challenges of sexuality, love and loving, as well as marriage and commitment. All have far more impact than surface understanding. PM class RIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH THE YOUNGER KINGDOMSRev. Connie Swan This afternoon class is designed to expand your awareness of Life, with a focus on honoring and deepening connections with all our relations. We'll develop an esoteric understanding of humanity's role in the web of life and evolution of consciousness; consider a shift from control to cooperation; and experiment with practical approaches to working co-creatively with Nature. Come and join us for an interactive exploration of possibilities.
