Drawing on the great philosophic ideas of both east and west,
past and present, this course explores the meaning of wisdom,
truth, consciousness, the real nature of Humanity and what inhibits
its development.
It is for all, regardless of education, age, race, political or
religious beliefs. The philosophy of the course is that Humanity in
truth is limitless and that there is a unity underlying all the
apparent diversity in our daily lives. This is known as
non-dualistic philosophy.
It is above all practical philosophy. This means that the
principles discussed in class can be put to effective practical use
in work, study and every aspect of daily life. Simple exercises are
given to strengthen attention, clear and quieten the mind. Students
are asked neither to accept nor reject any of the ideas but rather
to test them for themselves in the light of their own experience.
No previous knowledge of the subject is necessary. The course is
offered three times a year, in January, May and September. See Term
Details page for the dates of the next course and the Locations
page for addresses.
There are subsequent courses every term for those who wish to
continue the study of this philosophy. In later terms students are
offered the opportunity to practice meditation. The talks, which
include the opportunity for discussion, are given at various
locations and times each week. You may vary your day of attendance
each week (Melbourne only). Please see the Locations
page for details or call (Melbourne) 03 9818 0804 or (Adelaide) 08
8431 4145.
