CONTENTS:

Editorial -- "Recapitulation"
We all want to change, to improve, to grow more fully into a clearer expression of our true selves. As we review the gains from the past year we build a foundation upon which to move forward-leaving the past behind and striving towards the potential, the higher spiritual possibilities contained within the year ahead.

Ashramic Adjustment to Exoteric Living -- Djwhal Khul

Full Moon Meetings of the Future -- Frank Hilton
The purpose of attempting to imagine the future mass meetings is that what we are endeavouring to do here now, is the seed of those future meetings. And what we know and accept, and try to live by even if not very successfully, will in the future be known and be accepted as the ideal for mankind in general.

What is the Esoteric Sense? -- Christine Morgan
…the esoteric sense could be thought of as a faculty which synthesises the higher, inner sense and what they detect into a working whole in much the same way as the lower mind synthesises the knowledge gained from the five physical sense into what we call the common sense. Those who are fully awakened in this way do not react to the lower sense which condition our awareness of time and are said to live in the "eternal now".

Sounds of the Future -- Ivo-Jan van der Werff
Music generally operates in accordance with the axiom "As above, so below". Although we only perceive music directly on the physical plane it does affect the emotional and mental planes as well and affects the individual depending on his or her sensitivity to the forms and colours created on those higher levels by the music.

Masculine and Feminine: an Esoteric View - Richard Bryant-Jefferies
We are struggling with language when we approach the topic of "masculine" and "feminine" from an esoteric perspective. When we seek to look beyond the strictly human experience and interpretation of these words, it becomes clear that we have to start to accept that in the final analysis we are talking about universal principles. When we take the universal perspective we are not looking at masculine and feminine as a strictly human experience, but rather Universal Will and Universal Love.

What is Truth? - Susan T. Henry
When treading the path truth is something which we continually face, for along each winding of the way we always come up against ourselves in a way which is like looking in a mirror. We cannot cover up the mirror for long, neither can we avoid looking at it, for with each realisation, each step along the way and each fiery aspiration comes another glimpse of truth and another reminder of how far we have yet to travel along the path.

Psychological Rehabilitation is Vision in Action -- David H. Hopper
By influencing people to think, take action, believe and feel along certain lines, whether through coercion or friendly persuasion, the thought energy is a powerful mode for change.

The Problem of Racial Minorities -- A Student
"Goodwill is the most immediate way we have to bring about right relationships based on light."

Reflections on Aspects of Success - A Student
Mr. B., as he was fondly called by his dancers, had a strong belief in the angelic kingdom, and felt that his dancers were meant to transmit inspiration.
