Humanity - the Key to Harmony in Nature
“The trinity of nature is the lock of magic, the trinity of man the key that fits it.”
- H.P. Blavatsky Isis Unveiled, p635
Most people have become aware of the necessary care for nature, now that ecological disharmony is manifesting itself worldwide. However, nature is not just “a fortuitous concurrence of atoms”. Our outer climate is only a reflection of an inner climate.
- What is nature really?
- What is harmony?
- What is humanity’s responsibility for harmony in nature?
- What is the role of the mind?
- And what does it mean for Theosophists?
- These are questions that we would like to work on collectively during the conference.
Program outlineThe conference will be opened by a keynote speaker and opening talks by the presidents of ITC.
We will focus on the following main questions:
- Day 1: What is nature from the theosophical perspective?
- Day 2: What is harmony from the theosophical perspective?
- Day 3: Why is humanity or mind the key?
Each day will be introduced by a key speaker. In groups of 10-12 people we will work together on these questions during the day. We will end each day sharing a plenary panoramic vision on the subject.
- On the fourth day we will end with closing talks, followed by the annual membership meeting of ITC.
