Five Workshops with Bill Francis Barry Sept 15-17, 2017 at Pathways (New Age Books, Music & Gifts – A Resource Center Honoring All Traditions) 11419 Concord Village Ave, St. Louis, Missouri 314-842-0047 H. P. Blavatsky’s “The Voice of The Silence” ~ Insights & Understanding
Presentation & Discussion
Friday. Sept 15, 7:30 to 9PM Madame Blavatsky (1831 –1891) was a mystic, author and co-founder of the Theosophical Society. She was widely respected (though partly controversial). Her last book, translated from the same esoteric source of her ‘Secret Doctrine’ book, was titled 'The Voice of The Silence' and is a guide for students on the path of spiritual awakening. This presentation will facilitate the practical understanding of this book, called “one of the most remarkable books in our Theosophical literature” by C. W. Leadbeater. This presentation is offered from the vantage point of my 45 years of experiences in the study and practices of Vedic teachings, yoga and meditation. My insights are augmented by other writings of the early leaders of the Theosophical Society. |

Experiences of the Sacred Heart’s Inner Chamber
a 2.5 hour sampler of my most popular mantra workshop
Sunday, Sept 17, 10 am to 12:30 pm The Vedas, Upanishads, Yogic texts and teachings from advanced mystics of many traditions describe specific attributes and experiences involving the inner journey to discover extraordinary benefits awaiting within the 8 petalled Hrit Padma chakra, also known as The Sacred Heart. This workshop focuses on the experiences, techniques and benefits of the mantra & yogic path to the Sacred Heart’s Inner Chamber. This workshop teaches:
“Progress towards realizing the contents of the Sacred Heart does not involve ‘heart-centered’ thinking, feeling or mood-making; and is not accomplished by loud chanting of externally focused mantras. … “The taste and the fuller realization of the Inner Chamber of the Sacred Heart is experiential, and is found on the other side of incredible peace and a vast inner expansion of the fullness of consciousness & joy which dissolves all boundaries.” Bill Francis Barry
