Month: July 2021

Dear members of our Lodge, past and present,

In an effort to strengthen our Lodge, we are planning a simpler program for the upcoming year that will nurture the Lodge back to its level of activity prior to the pandemic (while staying in accordance with California  health guidelines and Krotona requirements) as follows:

• The first meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 5th.
• Adopt a “study group” format with very few or no public speakers.
• Hold two meetings per month instead of four.
• Study traditional theosophical texts that help us discover our divine inner nature
• Encourage meditative inquiries at the Lodge meetings.
• Promote the involvement of all members.

As the Enlightened have demonstrated to humanity, at the deepest level, we all are the Self, pure Being, unbounded awareness, the essence of spirituality, which is our true origin. By studying as a group and engaging in profound research, we will favor the understanding of that reality. One simple, deep truth may forever change the course of a human being’s evolution. Theosophy reminds us of such gems; let us mine a few this year.

“And now thy Self is lost in SELF, now Thyself unto THYSELF, merged in THAT SELF from which thou first didst radiate.”

‒ The Voice of the Silence    

Sincerely and Most Fraternally,

Francis G. Mossé

Dear members of our Lodge, past and present,

Coming out of a long period of restrictions and never-ending screen-bound lives for too long, your Lodge is getting ready to reclaim the experience of human warmth, spirituality, and creativity. We will meet in person, think like a family, deeply investigate the gems of Theosophy, share potlucks and happiness. A new Board of Directors was elected recently for the June 1^st, 2021—May 31^st, 2022 year:

• Francis Mossé, President;   
• Lisa Love, Vice President;
• Dana Hachigian, Corresponding Secretary;   
• Idarmis Rodríguez, Recording Secretary;
• Jim Voirol, Treasurer;   
• Douglas Borgatti, Trustee;    
• Pablo Minniti, Trustee

This Board will ensure we conform with our By-Laws, leverage the remarkable work deployed during these past years, and encourage each and everyone of us to participate. Our new program  will promote the study of Theosophy, allow for  meditative inquiry, and provide an environment where we can unite in exploring the spiritual path. Together, we will grow one more year in happiness and knowledge while weaving an indestructible bond among us.

Details on our meetings will be sent to you in future updates. As Lodge members, we are  eager to see you again in person. If you had to stop attending Lodge meetings for any reason, we warmly welcome you back. Your participation will contribute a lot to this group. Everyone, join us in this new adventure, come share with us the beauty of life, knowledge, and spirituality.

“The secret of human happiness in this world is to live always in tune with the song of Life, to keep the outer self of action, heart, mind, and motive always in tune with the Inner Self, which is ever at one with the Supreme Self, the Lord of All.”
