and about the teachings of
Thane of Hawaii
Over the years Thane presented several talks relating to the Independence Day holiday. This year we are featuring a talk he gave at the Servers’ Center in Santa Monica in July 1981.
The troubles of 1981 were not the same as those of the early 70s, which might seem closer to those we are facing today. Yet, this talk reminds us of the philosophical and religious roots of the American experiment and the attentiveness required by all those who would like it to endure.
We live in a word-built world, and this pandemic offers us a veritable feast of words to examine and to shift from materialistic challenges to abstract, liberating principles.
Al Haferkamp and I decided to talk about various words that come up around the COVID-19 outbreak in a brief format : each discussion less than 20 minutes. Our goal is to move from material to abstract connotations briskly, to give a sense of how our consciousness can change through the application of thought.
“Be yourself.” Easy-peasy, right ?
Al Haferkamp, Dean of The Prosperos, takes a good look at these simple words in a one-hour lesson delivered on May 19, 2019.
Uplifting and thought provoking as always . . . . Enjoy.
