CONTENTS:

Editorial -- The Coming Cycle
The timing of the reappearance of the Christ, the World Teacher, has always been a disputed issue. Even in the writings of Alice Bailey there are a number of different prognostications concerning the timing of the Coming One, having to do, no doubt, with the change in timing caused by the world war and the unpredictable factor of human willingness to meet the conditions on which the Christ's reappearance is contingent. What almost everyone agrees, though, is that the coming twenty-five year cycle is of enormous importance.

The Ashrams Concerned at the Coming -- Djwhal Khul

The Solar Angel -- John Nash
The Solar Angel channels life from the Monad to the lower self, responding to karmic necessities and orchestrating a sequence of incarnations through which the individual can gain evolutionary experience. The Solar Angel's point of attachment to the human individual is the causal body. It links the mental permanent atom on the first subplane with the mental unit on the fourth. Between these subplanes lies the great gulf that has divided us, since our inception as human beings, and which eventually we seek to bridge by constructing the antahkarana.

Resurrection, the Evolutionary Keynote -- Dale McKechnie
What Christ and the Master Jesus were presenting to the world were completely new ideas about the God of Love, about death and immortality and, of a more esoteric nature, about the long process of human initiation on the returning path to God. And the Aries full moon was a unique and propitious time to present and demonstrate these ideas because Aries is, astrologically, the place where an initial idea to institute activity takes form. It is the birthplace of ideas and a true idea is a spiritual impulse taking form-subjectively and objectively.

Bridging into Aquarius -- M.E. Haselhurst
In the Aquarian age, humanity of that time will be capable of living intensively, efficiently and creatively in the world of external phenomena, and at the same time be consciously active in the inner worlds, operating there as mind and soul.

Distortion, a World Problem -- J.S. Bakula
Living in truth means living in identification with a whole truth, not a partial truth based upon biased information. It means speaking the truth with a balance of fairness, unimpaired by prejudgments based upon spun or twisted truths inherited from new or ancient rivalries or inflamed in the current power lines.

Margaret Fuller: A Forerunner - Barbara Domalske
Margaret Fuller, a forerunner during her lifetime, was a beacon for women to cultivate their minds. "I accept the universe" was the favorite expression of New England's prime female intellectual in the literary circles of nineteenth-century America. Admired for her pioneering quality as a writer, she unlocked a procession of new thinking into a much-crystallized era of American thought.
