Betty Bland

From the point of view of the Theosophical teachings, when we have an understanding of the process of death and dying, life takes on new meaning And by it we are drawn into a field of consciousness in which we realize all is united and permeated with love.

Betty is a past president of the TSA; after having a near death experience she was “catapulted into an intense quest of understanding, where nothing matters, but everything matters.”

Self-Culture in the Light of the Ancient Wisdom — Book Study & Discussion

Chapter 8: The Functions of the Mental Body

We shall consider in this meeting the functions of the lower mental body, the vehicle of concrete thoughts. As in the case of the emotional body the subject will be dealt with from the special point of view of a self-culturist and we will consider the facts and methods which enable us to understand and use this body efficiently.

January 14th – Meditation & Study 6:00 PM, Meeting 7:00 PM

The Technique of the Spiritual Life – Book Study and Discussion Group

Chapter Five: The Training of the Emotions

The first thing we should do is to realize that we are not our feelings. As we watch them moving, urging, arising, we notice that they are motivated by the purely personal outlook. The same body expresses desire, passions, and love. Through self-knowledge we are able to cultivate the finer responses to life and begin to engage in it completely.
