So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.

IONS Conscious Aging program was initially developed based on research over four years.
While the program is specifically designed to reflect conversations, life transitions and transformations impacting on those of us over the age of 50 (who are now ‘journeying the second half of life’), the program may be equally interesting for people of any age who are involved in conscious ageing developments. ![]()

In Spiritual Light - the complete official teachings of the USB - a group of Illumined Souls of the most advanced wisdom and spirituality, yet who are humble, offer us their collective knowledge of truth, of spiritual laws, and of a way of life to bring peace and harmony to us all.

The key purposes of USB teachings include:

As a volunteer member of The Universal Brother&Sisterhood based in Australia, I am offering sessions involving discussion of the USB literature in Hobart, Tasmania. See information about these sessions above.
Accepting, or rejecting, any of the teaching as detailed in Spiritual Light can be considered a prerequisite to further study, sharing or participation in spiritual practices. For me, having been interested in conscious spiritual awareness since 1973, USB teachings provide deep and profound wisdom of our individual spirit’s potential progress, and spiritual development. To join the discussion group, contact me. For further information about Spiritual Light see After-life Resources or Spirituality. |
