An influential and respected teacher of The Esoteric Philosophy, William Meader has established an international reputation for his gift as a communicator of this philosophy. His extensive teaching program includes a diverse array of workshops and lectures devoted to nurturing a deeper understanding of the spiritual path, both from an individual and global perspective.
After completing an undergraduate degree in business administration from Mankato State University, William acquired a Masters degree in psychology from Pepperdine University in 1988. He obtained a Doctorate Degree in Esoteric Philosophy in 2000.
In addition to his book “Shine Forth: The Soul’s Magical Destiny”, he has published numerous articles focused on esoteric topics such as the spiritual constitution of a human being, the evolution of consciousness, spiritual initiation and practical mysticism. He has produced a fine library of audio and video recordings and is a regular speaker at the Wrekin Forum, international conferences and Theosophical Society venues. He has also presented at the Findhorn Foundation in northern Scotland.
His work-often described as a “next step” in spiritual evolution-assists people in the refinement of their abstract minds in order to align with the soul’s creative intention. William’s gentle humor, sensitivity and deep understanding of the spiritual path is appreciated by dedicated students of the Esoteric Philosophy, worldwide.
Practical Mysticism is a new paradigm that is beginning to shape the consciousness of spiritually-minded people. It is an approach to the spiritual journey that involves developing a mystical connection to the soul, while at the same time remaining grounded, mentally focused, and outwardly effective in daily life. In this presentation, William Meader will examine Practical Mysticism from several perspectives, including the importance of blending love and will, creative meditation, and how to use the mind to properly register the soul’s intuitions.
Birth Pangs of a New and Dawning World ~ Whether we consider the horrifying events transpiring in the Middle East, the devastating refugee crisis in Europe, or the unprecedented political events that have recently transpired in the United States and abroad, humanity is facing a global crisis of unparalleled proportions. Yet, when such events are examined from a spiritual perspective, it becomes clear that we are witnessing the prelude to a great initiatory opportunity facing the human family. Indeed, it is a period when the Soul of Humanity is seeking to shape outer events in support of an emerging era of human betterment and prosperity. In this presentation, the nature of crisis will be examined (individually, nationally and globally), and how it relates to the emergence of the Soul of Humanity.
Holding the Mind Steady in the Light ~ Due to its tendency to dismiss intuition, the mind has been called the Slayer of the Real. Though this title has much merit, it is, however, only a half-truth, for the mind is also humanity’s greatest gift. When rightly used, human thought has the power to reveal the soul’s wisdom and conveys a deeper meaning to the circumstances of life. As such, it is equally true to say that it is the Revealer of the Real. Indeed, the mind is the agent for the soul’s revelations. To rightly experience the revelations emitted by the soul, it is important to “hold the mind steady in the light.” In this seminar, the mind’s intimate relationship with the soul will therefore be closely examined. We will consider its role as the receptive instrument for the revelation of light. The Light of Wisdom, the Light of Intuition and the Light of Life itself (to name just a few forms of spiritual radiation) will be closely considered. Below are some (but not all) of the topics that will be presented and discussed. We hope you can join us. * The nature and transformation of the mind * Revelation and the Art of Thoughtform Building * Meditation – Holding the Mind Steady in the Light * Developing the communication conduit (Antahkarana) for revelation
