William Meader
is a teacher of the Esoteric Spiritual Tradition. He is
coming to New Zealand from America in September.  He will be holding

His website   www.meader.org  will give you information on his background

William Meader - Biography
For more than 20 years, acclaimed author William Meader has been a student
and teacher of the Ageless Wisdom (also known as the Perennial
Philosophy). From his remarkable insight into creative living, he has
become internationally renowned for clarifying the spiritual purpose of
life to countless numbers of people. He does this by teaching the means to
recognize the soul deep within, as well as by providing methods to more
effectively express the soul in one’s daily life.
At this critical time in human history, William emphasizes the importance
of becoming the “Practical Mystic.” To him, a practical mystic is one who
is inwardly conscious of his/her soul (and its intention), while at the
same time outwardly contributes to humanity’s upliftment. Practical
Mysticism is an approach to spiritual living that blends the mystical
dimension of life with reason and practical action. As an exemplification
of the Practical Mystic, he shows how this approach to spirituality is
possible for everyone. This type of inspirational teaching has gained him
widespread recognition.
In addition to his dedicated spiritual service, William Meader has a
degree in Business Management, an advanced degree in the behavioral
sciences, and several years experience as a psychology professor. He also
has experience as a business educator, offering a variety of staff
development seminars and workshops to the business community.  He
currently teaches and lectures in the United States, Europe, Canada,
Australia, and New Zealand. He lives in Oregon.

The Soul and Its Nature

When walking upon the spiritual path, an understanding of the nature of
the Soul is paramount. This talk is an introduction to the subject of the
Human Soul as understood within the Esoteric Tradition. In it we will
examine the origins of the Human Soul and the stages it will go though as
it evolves over the course of countless incarnations, Also discussed is
the ancient lore regarding the formation of the causal vehicle, which is
the subtle body that the soul expresses itself though. The great battle
that is eventually waged between the Angel of the Presence (the Soul) and
the Dweller on the Threshold (the personality), is examined as well. This
inner conflict occurs on several levels, each of which will be considered.
