• Know Someone in Need of Healing?

    The TOS Healing Network is a free service that practitioners provide to contribute to the positive energy of an individual. This helps the healee’s body find its own balance which leads to healing. Recipients of healing have reported feeling calmer as well as having a more positive outlook. Patients who have been recipients of energetic healing have reported fewer complications during surgery and a decreased recovery time afterwards.

Announcing the TOS Meditative Action Network!

We’re delighted to announce the launch of a new TOS initiative: the Meditative Action Network!  This is a group of committed volunteers who agree to meditate at least once per month on a situation in the world that needs light and resolution for the highest good of all concerned.  The meditation is designed to invoke the working out of Highest Will, never a specific outcome.  In this way, we remove personal opinions and agendas, and avoid making mistakes based on our inherently limited view of the world.

And Behold . . . Service Really IS Joy!

Ah, that archetypal quality, JOY.  We seek it, wish for it, crave it.  And here and there, we genuinely experience it, however fleetingly.  If only human beings were designed with a joy switch that we could flip on at will . . . but it isn’t that easy.  Or could it be very nearly that easy?

Love at Its Finest

September 29, 2019

Do not blame Love for the agony it brings;
Love is the King of all paths,
And the heart not wild with longing
Is already dead, already a burial ground.

One evening in September, author Andrew Harvey came to speak at the TS headquarters about the poetry of Kabir. I had never heard him speak before. I remember reading some of his work years ago and not feeling drawn to it. At the time my (exhausted) mind was occupied with raising children and all that comes with it. From the moment a child is born, one’s life is handed over to them. It is the way it is and the way it needs to be. Children are, for a good portion of their life, defenseless creatures who need hands on help, encouragement, and immense nurturing. This is why it is the hardest job ever given to anyone. Even when you feel you have nothing left within you, your heart warms at their cry despite the frustration that all you want is to close your eyes and sleep. Many people who don’t have children can recognize this experience—all too brief from where I am now—if they have ever had a puppy. It is this constant dance between exhaustion and invigorating love that revives you to keep on going and giving. Read more about Love at Its Finest

Pondering Miracles

April 18, 2019

One of my favorite stores to shop at is Farm and Fleet. It’s a good old store found in the Midwest that once upon a time was where all the farmers and their families shopped. I remember the first time I visited the store, I felt completely intimidated. At the time, I lived in what would have been considered the country (until people like me moved in.) I lived in a subdivision on land that once belonged to a farming family. The farm lands were and still are disappearing because farmers can no longer afford to keep and cultivate their land.

The TOS Wheaton at PRC

April 16, 2019

The Theosophical Order of Service local group in Wheaton regularly volunteers at a food pantry once every quarter. Our Wheaton group has seen many ups and downs with membership in our almost twelve years of existence (no different than any small group or lodge!) But what has always remained is the desire to help those less fortunate by volunteering where needed. On our volunteer day, we helped 105 different families with their shopping.
