| Keynote: | Let the group onward move - out of the fire, into the cold and toward a newer tension. |
Saturday, May 30th
Afternoon Session, everyone welcome:
| 1.15 pm | Talk: A River between Two Worlds – Headquarters Group The esoteric worker has to free himself from the “Law of the Tides” which controls the cyclic or "tidal" life of all souls who are carried by the great river of life—on the crest of desire—into incarnation. When control of the tides of his emotional existence is gained, the disciple stands at a point of spiritual tension in the great circulating river of divinity, his own circulatory system – the blood and its etheric counterpart – a transmuting medium between the outer and inner worlds. |
| Visualisation: Power to Reveal the Path | |
| Panel: Cultivating Spiritual Tension “Spiritual tension, as a result of complete dedication of the personality to the service of humanity, stimulates and empowers but does not evoke the lower life of the personal self.” Students discuss their strivings towards this ideal. |

| 3.00 pm | Tea |
| 3.40 pm |
The Flow of Life – Adventures with Telemedicine – Tomas Bohrn Tomas Bohrn is the CEO of Advanced Medical Solutions, a company he set up in the Czech Republic to develop telemedical systems and diagnostic machines for the early detection of cardiovascular risk factors. The company provides support to Doctors in Cardiology, Angiology and preventive screening and initiated a project to help the population of a rural area of Brazil avoid future invasive treatment. Tomas also researches the relationship of major illnesses to ethical and evolutionary lessons. |
| The Soul is Light. What then is Light? –Dr. James T. Ryder Dr. Ryder is a retired Vice President of Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company and former head of the Advanced Technology Center. Jim will discuss recent discoveries about the Sun, Stars, Galaxies, and Space itself. The discoveries point towards the Ageless Wisdom notion that stars and galaxies are living organisms in a conscious, electrically dynamic universe. The nature of light itself is further revealed by the discoveries forcing mankind to raise the question: “what then is light?” As one example, at the edge of our solar system the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) spacecraft revealed a bright “ribbon” of light. This region of high electro-magnetic tension hints at the cellular structure of the great entity, SPACE. Perhaps IBEX could be considered as a symbol of the conference keynote “out of the fire, into the cold and toward a newer tension”. |

Sunday, May 31st
Afternoon Session, everyone welcome
| 1.15pm | ‘Phoenix from the Ashes’ – Discipleship and the Path of Renewal – Headquarters Group |
| The myth of the phoenix has obvious parallels with the life of discipleship – of rebirth and regeneration. The disciple is constantly purifying and renewing his consciousness through various spiritual techniques, travelling from one burning ground to another. In the process he becomes an agent of regeneration himself, expressing the keynote of discipleship work: “Behold, I make all things new”. | |

Libuse also discusses the group vision and work of Atma Do and its sister organization Amicia. This involves spirituality fused with social responsibility projects in the Czech Republic. Abroad, Atma Do supports children’s education in Nepal where it cooperates with monasteries of Tibetan Buddhism. |
| Panel Discussion: World Tension and the Emerging Vision – with Chris Noakes, Dr Michelle Pearce, Dr James Ryder, Barbara Valocore. “The tension in the world today, particularly in the Hierarchy, is such that it will produce another and perhaps ultimate world crisis, or else such a speeding up of the spiritual life of the planet that the coming in of the long looked-for New Age conditions will be amazingly hastened.” The panel discusses the current world situation in light of these comments which were made by the Tibetan in 1947 |
