ONCE YOU'RE DEAD YOU'RE MADE FOR LIFE: KARMA & RE-BIRTH UNRAVELLED
29 January 2012  Sunday  18:00 - 19:30
Tim Wyatt
speaker Every moment of every day we live with the consequences of our thoughts, words and deeds - from this life and previous ones. Equally, we're building up karma and shaping our forthcoming incarnations by everything we're doing right now. When we learn that we're in control of our eternal existence it unleashes enormous power and a heightened sense of responsibility. We are no longer mere victims of circumstance but co-creators of our world.

A member of Bradford theosophical branch, Tim Wyatt is a freelance journalist and who writes for Nosegay Books, which publishes booklets on esoteric topics.

THE FORBIDDEN UNIVERSE: THE OCCULT ORIGINS OF SCIENCE AND THE SEARCH FOR THE MIND OF GOD
02 February 2012  Thursday  18:45 - 21:00
Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince
Based on their latest book, Lynn and Clive will reveal that science originated with the occult, although scientists are keen to deny this. But distaste for their own roots has actually prevented them from fully comprehending their own cutting-edge discoveries. Literally every one of the famous names in the Scientific Revolution - from Copernicus to Sir Isaac Newton - were directly inspired by the Hermetica, esoteric books derived from ancient Egyptian occultism. However, oddly, religion and science joined forces to remove all traces of mysticism from the annals of their histories. Although rarely acknowledged, the most modern science, particularly quantum physics, has comprehensively shown that the universe was designed - echoing the ancient cosmology of the Hermetica to an astonishing degree.

Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince have co-authored eight books in the past two decades. They are best known for their 1997 The Templar Revelation, which Dan Brown acknowledged as the primary inspiration for The Da Vinci Code. Their latest title is The Forbidden Universe.
