August – Learn the secrets of one of the oldest cultures on Earth: Tibet
Coffee & a Book presents Tibet’s “Voice of the Silence”
Thursday, August 5, 2010 at 8:30pm
All the way from the remote regions of the Tibetan Himalayas, compiled by one of the most outstanding figures of spiritual philosophy, this Eastern classic comes to us packed with the greatest spiritual teachings of all time.

It's all about the path of spiritual evolution.
Before thou takest thy first step learn to discern the real from the false, the ever-fleeting from the everlasting. Learn above all to separate Head-learning from Soul-Wisdom, the "Eye" from the "Heart" doctrine.
...
The seeds of Wisdom cannot sprout and grow in airless space. To live and reap experience the mind needs breadth and depth and points to draw it towards the Diamond Soul. Seek not those points in Maya's realm; but soar beyond illusions, search the eternal and the changeless SAT, mistrusting fancy's false suggestions.

For mind is like a mirror; it gathers dust while it reflects. It needs the gentle breezes of Soul-Wisdom to brush away the dust of our illusions. Seek O Beginner, to blend thy Mind and Soul.

Shun ignorance, and likewise shun illusion. Avert thy face from world deceptions; mistrust thy senses, they are false. But within thy body -- the shrine of thy sensations -- seek in the Impersonal for the "eternal man"; and having sought him out, look inward: thou art Buddha.
Join us as we explore this mysterious little tome! Coffee and cookies will be served.

"This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes". Remember those lines from the movie "The Matrix"? Morpheus is telling Neo is that the world we live in is not what it seems... This concept, taken directly from Plato's Myth of the Cave, and found in all the ancient teachings in one form or another, goes deeper than what we realize on a daily basis.

August - That inner impulse to go "onward and upward"!
Book Club: The Alchemist by J.A. Livraga
Wednesday, August 5, 2009 @ 8:30pm
As they say, "back by popular demand..." When we did this book at the Book Club, participants asked for another session. We also had a number of requests from folks who weren't able to attend. So... see you on August 5!
The Alchemist is a historical novel about an aspiring young chemist who is a member of a Hermetic Lodge in the 16th Century. The brilliant youth is seeking wisdom and wishes to learn the secrets of Alchemy. The Holy Inquisition proclaims him a heretic. He is torn by his love for Hypatia, who is also a seeker of truth, and does not want to leave her, but he is forced to flee to save both of their lives.
His adventures lead him to Egypt and India, and he finally meets the great master Giordano Bruno who instructs him in the Mysteries of Transmutation. He knows that he must go back and share his newfound wisdom, but how can he do it without risking his life and the lives of those he loves?
In addition to being a best selling novel, The Alchemist is an extremely well-researched book which reveals much about the lost science of Alchemy and those who practiced it.
