From Whence We Came

Tues, April 2nd 6:30 – 9PM Tues, April 9th 6:30 – 9PM Tues, April 16th 6:30 – 9PM Tues, April 23rd 6:30 – 9PM Tues, April 30th 6:30 – 9PM Tues, May 7th 6:30 – 9PM Tues, May 14th 6:30 – 9PM...... Tues, May 21st 6:30 – 9PM...... Tues, May 28th 6:30 – 9PM...... Tues, June 4th 6:30 – 9PM | If you like history, then From Whence We Came is a course you’ll enjoy, and even if you don’t especially care for the study of history, or didn’t when you were in school, have no fear, there is plenty else here of compelling interest. You won’t have to memorize dates or place names. The history is a backdrop, a history of ideas that converged, specifically in American culture, to become what we recognize as Religious Science and the larger New Thought movement around it. These ideas were expressed by certain notable people whom we will read and whose writings we will discuss in the ten weeks of the course. The ideas were not entirely original to them — in fact, they date from before recorded history — but were in the air, so to speak, and these great luminaries we honor in New Thought were just the ones framing them in words (aloud or published) and making them accessible to the general public in the Western world in the last 150 years. During this course, we will delve in some depth into the works of several of these people, and at least touch upon the contributions of many others. Some depth, mind you, but not nearly enough. Even those writers we’ll explore left a copious body of work over the course of their careers. Further study will always await you.
