p.s.  Don is finishing his PhD in NeuroPhysiology.  Also, he has
authored several research articles in current professional
journals (peer-reviewed).

Please send e-mail to theos@netcom.com if you would like TSA to
video-tape his talk for future distribution.  I have had several
discussions with Don regarding this talk, and I expect it to be a
GOOD one.

"Speaker: Don DeGracia Title of Talk: Theosophy and Cyberspace

Synopsis:

This talk will have two main goals: 1.  to broadly define the
term "cyberspace", and 2.  to show how cyberspace can be of use
to theosophists as individuals and to the Theosophical Society as
a whole.

Cyberspace refers to the world-wide telecommunications networks
and the information that passes through these networks.  The
internet and online services are discussed.  Some time is devoted
to the content of cyberspace and even the esoteric implications
of cyberspace.

Next, it is shown how the communication tools of cyberspace can
be used by theosophists.  Discussion is given of theosophical
material already available in cyberspace.  And strategies for
increasing the presence of Theosophy in cyberspace will be
presented."

A discussion session will follow.
