SUMMARY:Being\, becoming-to-be\, and the Soul-open session in London
DESCRIPTION:In the Timaeus Plato’s main speaker presents reality as comp
 rised of two linked orders – that of eternal being\, and that of tempora
 l being. The latter is “being which is continually coming to be\, but ne
 ver really is.” Into this reality we are shown the soul as a strangely a
 mphibious nature – in some way eternal\, in other ways temporal. Plato s
 uggests that the soul has a role to play in the beautification and orderin
 g of the manifest cosmos precisely because of its intermediate state.  We
  will read sections of the Timaeus and explore what this means for how we 
 live. Please download the extracts here: Being becoming soul.\n\nAdmission
  is free\, but we do encourage those who are able to donate £5 in order t
 o cover our costs\, either as cash on the day or donating through this web
 site\n\nMost of these evenings are self-contained and every effort is made
  to make them accessible to the newcomer\, while allowing the great profun
 dity of the Platonic tradition to step forward and speak to us at whatever
  level our present understanding sits. Some of these sessions are coupled
  together\, in order to give us the space to examine more fully particular
  texts and themes\, but even here we will ensure that if those attending h
 ave missed the first of the two sessions a recap of what has gone before 
 will help all participants to pick up the main threads of the theme.\n\nTh
 e Trust has run similar activities for some 18 years\, and in our experien
 ce they allow the most profound questions concerning human life\, the natu
 re of reality\, and our interactions\, to be explored at once both serious
 ly and with good cheer. Our aim is to provide a forum for honest and stra
 ight-forward enquiry\, but which is unafraid to explore inward-moving path
 s too often neglected by modern schools of thought.\n\nClick on the London
  tag under Event type to be taken to all upcoming activities in London.
