Thinking Differently
Although one person thinks more consciously than the other, people are thinkers. Our way of thinking determines our way of life. The way of life of humanity as a whole determines the state of the world.
Do we want to see change? Then the conclusion is: by changing our own way of thinking, we change the world. The solution lies in ourselves. An encouraging thought!
Each of us has the ability to understand more of the background of life. We can further develop our thinking independently and self-consciously by investigating our way of thinking and changing it wherever necessary. In this way we grow and we become wiser.
Are you willing to start with yourself and make a positive contribution? Take on the challenge! Improve your thinking, improve the world.

Organiser Theosophical Society Point Loma
Organiser of Online course Thinking Differently (14 meetings)
Our organization opens its doors to all independent thinkers. People young and old who wish to make up their own minds by conducting their own search for truth. About their own lives, the events in our world, nature, religion, our fellow human beings and what we can do for them.
With us you will find knowledge free of dogmatics. Based on the ‘how’ (science), the ‘why’ (philosophy) and the ’to what purpose’ (religion) of life. Visit our courses, lectures and symposiums. Or study our books and our magazine at home.
