Recognizing the Ethics of the Sermon on the Mount | Theosophy Talks

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.

'Forgive and do not strike back.' For centuries, lessons like these were dismissed as impractical by virtually all Christians. Why?

Every religion is a stream of inspiration that is part of the great river of Wisdom and Compassion that has inspired people throughout the ages.In this series, we show how relevant the wisdom treasures of original Christianity are today. Even if you know nothing about the Christian faith, you can discover a great deal of wisdom in it. 07-06 <a href="https://www.eventbrite.nl/e/the-roots-of-christianity-theosophy-talks-tickets-1990269412389" title="https://www.eventbrite.nl/e/the-roots-of-christianity-theosophy-talks-tickets-1990269412389" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Roots of Christianity</a>Christianity is not only rooted in the Jewish religion. It is not even solely the result of the appearance of the Avatar Jesus of Nazareth. Christianity is rooted in countless wisdom traditions. Although dogmatic priests and theologians have tried over the centuries to portray these other traditions as “pagan” or even “anti-Christian,” it is easy to see that Christianity has its origins in the ancient Mysteries, Buddhism, the Essenes, Plato, the Neoplatonists, and the Egyptian religion. 14-06 <a href="https://www.eventbrite.nl/e/gnosis-divine-knowledge-theosophy-talks-tickets-1990269630040" title="https://www.eventbrite.nl/e/gnosis-divine-knowledge-theosophy-talks-tickets-1990269630040" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Gnosis, Divine knowledge</a>Christians believe that faith is the core of their religion. In original Christianity, however, Gnosis was central: divine knowledge obtained by actively penetrating behind the veils of the outer world. Gnosis is based on personal research and experience. How does someone who lives according to Gnosis think and live? Does he worship a god outside of himself, or does he know that the divine is within himself? 21-06 Recognizing the Ethics of the Sermon on the MountForgive and do not strike back. Do not resist evil with evil. These compassionate lessons from the Sermon on the Mount touch us deeply in our hearts. Yet for 20 centuries, they were dismissed as impractical by virtually all Christians. Why?Was Jesus, who is said to have spoken the Sermon on the Mount, a naive fool for presenting humanity with ethics that are impractical? Or is there another explanation? 28-06 <a href="https://www.eventbrite.nl/e/the-religion-of-the-future-theosophy-talks-tickets-1990270189714" title="https://www.eventbrite.nl/e/the-religion-of-the-future-theosophy-talks-tickets-1990270189714" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Religion of the future</a> Different religions have divided humanity. They have led to enmity and war. How is that possible, if the core of all these religions is the same?The cause lies in a personal and selfish interpretation of the imagery whose use is necessary for every religion to convey spiritual truths to people. Will the Religion of the future be able to develop a new mentality that unites all of humanity on the basis of wisdom, compassion, and logic? Missed a Theosophy Talk?
