The Karma of Covid

THREE WORKSHOPS WITH HARLAN GILBERT

This series of three workshops will delve into the current pandemic and its significance for the world. You are invited to participate online or in person. The current pandemic is having dramatic repercussions on nearly every individual living today. It constitutes a major intrusion into world and individual destiny. In three evening workshops, we will explore the questions: Why a global pandemic, why this one, and why now? Each workshop will include a lecture, group discussion, and Q&A. The workshops will be presented at Threefold Auditorium and streamed live on Zoom. Limited seating is available for those who wish to attend in person.

The Past, Present, and Future Karma of Corona Virus Disease-19
In this workshop, we will explore three ways karma works, each of which influences our experience of the present pandemic:  
– Past karma shapes our experiences and limits our options.
– In the present, we exercise freedom of will, providing the possibility of transforming old karma and of creating new karma.
– Our future destiny calls us to prepare for it.

Covid and Medical Technology
There is a long history of measures taken to combat disease. How can these be understood from physical, soul, and spiritual perspectives? We will particularly closely examine the development of vaccines, from traditional medicine to contemporary times.

What Is Covid Asking of Us?
Every challenge is also an opportunity for reflection and a stimulus to self-transformation. The present challenge is unusual in human history in that it is addressed to the entirety of humanity. World-scale challenges are becoming more frequent, however. Why are we facing global challenges, such as the pandemic, today, and what are they asking of us?
