                                        How  has modern science changed religion? What does religion have to say to  science? Has science irrevocably eroded religion's credibility and  legitimacy, or does religion--as a guide to life and a way of  wisdom--provide us with precisely what science lacks? Is Judaism exempt  from, or aparty to, the tensions between these ways of understanding  the world? This series will explore the complementary/competitive  relationship through lively conversations with award-winning authors  and thinkers. 
                                           
                                          In this first conversation, two leading philosophers  address the perceived conflict between the Bible's perspective--in  which a benevolent God creates a good world--and a Darwinian conception  of a universe governed by accident and chance.

                                      From Mysticism to Occultism 
                                        Transitioning into the Aquarian Age  
                                      At this time, many people are   feeling apprehensive about where life is going.  There is a general   sense of unease or doubt.  This is a global phenomenon that is   linked to the ‘Age’ that we are in.  In the song Aquarius,   it speaks of the dawning of the Age of Aquarius. 
                                      That time is now and by attending   this workshop you will receive a better understanding of what the Age   of Aquarius is, how it will impact your life and, most importantly,   practical guidance on how to make the transition from the Age of Pisces,   the Age of Mysticism to the Age of Aquarius, the Age of Occultism.    Specifically by better understanding:

                                  a purpose was born when you were born  
                                  A sacred mission  
                                  Wound about your heart,

                                  Waiting to be released,  
                                  To be fulfilled.  
                                Realize your potential.  Listen to the voice in your heart.

                                  the opportunity to become aware of what holds you back and keeps you from being the person you want to be.
