Topic: Understanding Blavatsky II: ‘The One Life Unfolds'

Presenter: Dr. Jim Cloutman

About the Presentation: September’s talk by Canberra TS member Jim Cloutman is the second in a three-part series on H.P. Blavatsky’s writings and follows from his first presentation in May 2024. In the first presentation Jim unpacked the concept of the ‘One Life’, the cornerstone of Blavatsky’s works.

In this second part of the series Jim will outline how the ‘One Life’ unfolds and becomes the world around us by exploring the key concepts in HPB’s main work, the Secret Doctrine. The presentation will look at ways to understand what this key work is all about, while illustrating how to make the teachings of practical value and relevant to everyday life. A third and last part of the series will be held on Saturday 15 November.

About the Presenter: Jim joined the TS at 16, and` has an honours degree in comparative religion from King’s College, London University. He has a PhD in adult education and is an educationalist by profession. Jim is now designing and developing new ways of learning for adult learners after working on a project with the NSW government to develop learning programs in emotional intelligence.
