SUNDAY, JANUARY 21

Cosmic Center Presents William Meader - Eye of Vision - The Soul’s Organ of Perception - 1-3pm. Walking the spiritual path requires that we recognize the changing nature of vision in our lives, particularly as it pertains to the use of the third eye. Sometimes called the Eye of Vision, this perceptual organ of the soul slowly opens over the course of many incarnations. By so doing, it gradually gives us the capacity to sense the deeper truths expressed through our individual lives, as well as outer events. In this talk, William Meader will present a deep understanding of the Eye of Vision and how to recognize its influence within our day-to-day perceptions. He will also discuss methods to further facilitate its opening. $20. In-person and online–register at CCOSL.com. Cosmic Center of Spiritual Light, 5041 Ringwood Meadows – Bldg. G-2, Sarasota, 941-371-9333, CCOSL.com, Facebook and Instagram.

Soul Purpose and the 7 Rays - 7pm. William Meader will present an overview of the seven types of Souls, and what each is destined to express in service to the outer world. As conveyed within the Ageless Wisdom, there are believed to be seven streams of divine life that underlie and provide foundation to all of Creation. Often referred to as the Seven Rays, an understanding of them is helpful when walking the spiritual path. This is because every human soul is found upon one of them. And, to understand your Soul Ray is to discover your essential nature and spiritual purpose in life. Pre-registration required, $20.
