The Theosophical Society in Buffalo City of Light Study Center Presents two lectures and discussions by Tim Boyd, Vice President of The Theosophical Society in America, which are open to the public. These programs will be held at Unity of Buffalo • 1243 Delaware Avenue • Buffalo, NY 14209 Sunday, October 31, 4:00 PM Tales That Heal: The life of every man or woman is a constant unfoldment of the one story-the hero's journey. For the man or woman on a spiritual path there is an important difference; awareness. Together we will examine some tales designed to bring us to awareness. Throughout the history of humankind the spiritual traditions of the world have employed stories as a means of attuning our awareness to deeper levels of being. Beyond the words, symbols, and action, the story leads us to a wordless and formless intuitive understanding. Together we will examine some tales designed to bring us to awareness. Monday, November 1, 7:00 PM Love and Intuition: Opening the Inner Vision-The universal experience of love has been described as a pathway to faultlessly clear space within. Called by many names in many traditions "the still small voice", "the wisdom eye", "buddhi", or the intuition, it is a source of our deepest realizations in religion, science, art and daily living. This talk presents an approach to understanding the process of intuition so that we may deepen it in our daily lives. Tim Boyd is the Vice President of the Theosophical Society in America. He co-produced, narrated and conducted interviews for the Eternal Quest radio series, broadcast on stations in the U.S and Canada. He is a founding member of a spiritual community which was active for more than 25 years. It was situated in Chicagoʼs inner city in what had been a deteriorating urban area. The group worked with at risk youth, established organic food gardens on vacant lots, purchased and renovated numerous buildings in the area, and placed bee hives on the roofs of buildings. He has lectured and conducted workshops throughout the U.S and in Asia. He currently serves as President of the Theosophical Order of Service. Although there is no charge for these programs donations are appreciated for the continued work of The Buffalo City of Light Study Center. We are a branch of The Theosophical Society in America. The Theosophical Society in America is a branch of a world fellowship and membership organization dedicated to promoting the unity of humanity and encouraging the study of religion, philosophy and science so that we may better understand ourselves and our relationships within this multidimensional universe. The Society stands for complete freedom of individual search and belief. For more information please visit: www.theosophical.org.

Theosophy Moving Forward
Independent Theosophical Magazine Electronic Edition 2nd Qtr 2014 Moving Theosophy ahead in the 21st Forward century Main theme in this issue Our Unity Theosophy as Religion Some words on Daily Life There Is a New International President: Now What Do We Do? Similarities and differences of Theosophical traditions Theosophy Forward This independent electronic magazine offers a portal to Theosophy for all those who believe that its teachings are timeless. It shuns passing fads, negativity, and the petty squabbles of sectarianism that mar even some efforts to propagate the eternal Truth. Theosophy Forward offers a positive and constructive outlook on current affairs. Theosophy Forward encourages all Theosophists, of whatever organizations, as well as those who are unaligned but carry Theosophy in their hearts, to come together. Theosophists of any allegiance can meet and respectfully exchange views, because each of us is a centre for Theosophical work. It needs to be underscored that strong ties are maintained with all the existing Theosophical Societies, but the magazine's commitment lies with Theosophy only and not with individuals or groups representing these various vehicles.

Text of Resolutions passed by the General Council of the Theosophical Society Freedom of Thought As the Theosophical Society has spread far and wide over the world, and as members of all religions have become members of it without surrendering the special dogmas, teachings and beliefs of their re- spective faiths, it is thought desirable to emphasize the fact that there is no doctrine, no opinion, by whomsoever taught or held, that is in any way binding on any member of the Society, none which any member is not free to accept or reject. Approval of its three Objects is the sole condition of membership. No teacher, or writer, from H. P. Blavatsky onwards, has any authority to impose his or her teachings or opinions on members. Every member has an equal right to follow any school of thought, but has no right to force the choice on any other. Neither a candidate for any office nor any voter can be rendered ineligible to stand or to vote, because of any opinion held, or because of membership in any school of thought. Opinions or beliefs neither bestow privileges nor inflict penalties. The Members of the General Council earnestly request every member of the Theosophical Society to maintain, defend and act upon these fundamental principles of the Society, and also fearlessly to exercise the right of liberty of thought and of expression thereof, within the limits of courtesy and consideration for others. Freedom of the Society The Theosophical Society, while cooperating with all other bodies whose aims and activities make such cooperation possible, is and must remain an organization entirely independent of them, not committed to any objects save its own, and intent on developing its own work on the broadest and most inclusive lines, so as to move towards its own goal as indicated in and by the pursuit of those objects and that Divine Wisdom which in the abstract is implicit in the title ‘The Theosophical Society’.
