AUGUST 13, 1:30-4:30 PM, Lakeshore Interfaith , 6676 122nd, Ganges Mi

An Interior Castle :

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS AND HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS

Dena Blay-Stroba,OCDS, is one of the Directors of the LakeShore Interfaith Institute,
and a Secular Discalced Carmelite in the Roman Catholic Tradition. She
has also studied world religions for the past twenty years and has made
intensive studies of Vedanta under the tutelage of Swami Bhashyananda,
past abbot of the Vivekananda Vedanta Society

She will present a brief history of Christianity with especial emphasis
on the mystical traditions, within the broader context of the evolution
of human consciousness.

The presentation will survey the mystical traditions of both the Hebrew
and the Christian faiths, showing how Jesus exemplifies the mystical
relationship of the soul with the Heavenly Father. It will explore how
the “good news” of the Gospels springs out of this mystical well of
Unity (non-dual) Consciousness. The life and teachings of Jesus will be
examined as the context of the spiritual journey of the human soul to
divine realization through Union with God.

Also considered will be how this context can be relevant to our present
age, and how it may develop in the future.

A lifelong student of Saint Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, and
St. Therese’ of Lisieux (all Doctors of Mystical Theology of the
Church), Ms. Blay-Stroba will offer examples and practical methods of
meditation and prayer from the 2000 year history of the Christian
tradition.
