The Wisdom Within is a 9-week online or in-room philosophy course for beginners, and is primarily concerned with providing the student with some fundamental concepts and tools for understanding the inner being. And how that understanding can open up the mind to a better quality of life.
Week 1 – The Wisdom Within
This class introduces the nature of wisdom and how it may be possible to live wisely. Wisdom, happiness, and love are central to human life.
Week 2 – Knowing Yourself
Self-discovery leads to Self-knowledge. Who or what am I? What is my nature? What is it to be human and what is my unlimited human potential?
Week 4 - Living in Present Moment
What is the potential of the present moment? We will consider the power of attention to connect with the present moment. We will practice mindfulness.
Week 6 -The Three Energies
How we can understand and use energy well? How we can increase the energy available to us and choose the most useful energy at will, in the moment we need it?
Week 9 – The Desire for Truth
How does the desire for truth show itself? How may it be satisfied? How to see unity in diversity, the common thread of life that runs through all life.
This course is for anybody who ever questioned the commonly held beliefs in our society.
Or they may have heard something particularly inspiring or challenging and didn’t quite know why. You may be someone who wants to know more about the great ideas that have existed for many centuries across many diverse cultures.
You do not need to have studied philosophy before but it won’t hurt if you have. If you believe you could learn and develop yourself, and are looking for a possible source of guidance, then The Wisdom Within might be just the course for you. Bring a friend and be sure to have some very interesting discussions on the night and afterwards.
