THE LION, THE WITCH & THE WISDOM: | Robert Woolley |
| 6:00pm | Wisdom from the great religions and ancient philosophies have always been hidden in fairy tales. Our materialistic society writes them off as untruths but they are still being written. Even adults eventually grow to appreciate them. The Chronicles of Narnia are a perfect example clearly showing how theosophical teachings can be traced. Robert Woolley is President of the Northampton theosophical branch. £7, £5 concessions Arranged by Foundation for Theosophical Studies |

FROM THE UNREAL TO THE REAL | Cynthia Trasi |
| 6:00pm | Some speakers glibly tell us that everything around us is unreal - an illusion. The world around us seems very real, so we must be blissfully unaware of the illusion. What can we know of an eternal Reality, as opposed to the fleeting nature of the phenomenal world? How can we begin to lift the veils of illusion and pass from the unreal to the Real? Cynthia Trasi is co-Secretary of the Theosophical Order of Service in England. £7, £5 concessions. Arranged by Foundation for Theosophical Studies |

| 6:00pm | What happened before the Big Bang and before we were born? Is time inextricably linked to space and matter?

THE KEYS TO THE MYSTERY WITHIN | Harold Tarn |
| 6:00pm | G. de Purucker, in his Fundamentals of the Esoteric Philosophy gives seven ‘keys’ to the understanding of this philosophy. Commenting on these, P. G.
