Lectures Section

The Philosophy of Spiritual Activity demonstrates the fact of freedom - the ability to think and act independently - as a possibility for modern consciousness. Read properly, it leads the reader to the experience of presence or living thinking - new thinking - by which all human activity may be renewed.
