CONTENTS:
Editorial—From the Plane of Mind I Rule
At this higher Interlude in the annual cycle, the Forces of Enlightenment are exceedingly potent. These Forces, we are told, produce a clear grasp of the Plan which the Hierarchy desires to see work out. They are Forces that make impact on the human mind and therefore find particular responsiveness among the intellectuals of the world and those engaged in education of all types.
Can the Fact of the Soul be Proved?—Part I—Djwhal Khul
Like "his brother", the Christ, the Buddha is called both a World Saviour and a World Teacher, but the role of teacher is more important, the Tibetan says, than saviour. For people long to be saved, but in the end they must save themselves. The Buddha taught people how to save themselves, first of all by his formulation of the "Four Noble Truths" of life: that we must cease to identify with material things or desires, gain a proper sense of value, stop regarding earthly life and material possessions as of major importance, and follow the Noble Eight Fold Path of right relations."
Wesak: Identity Within the Ocean of Being—Sarah McKechnie
The Coming Kingdom—Alice A. Bailey
The basic and most important fact which we need to grasp is the very simple statement that there is a plan for mankind, a goal towards which the evolution of the entire human family is tending. There are those who know of this plan and who, therefore, in a certain sense may be considered the custodians of the plan. They are human beings who have evolved a little further along the path than the rest of us.
Sanat Kumara—John Nash
Sanat Kumara, Lord of the World, is a fascinating, enigmatic Existence whose true identity and status may forever be veiled from us. The Tibetan clearly struggled to find language to describe His identity and relationship with the planetary Logos, and we, whose understanding is far less, must exercise great caution in trying to categorise One whose consciousness is remote from our own..
Taking Heaven by Storm—A Student
Penetration is the use of the self will and the substance of the highest level of self-aware being to pierce through a perceived barrier into a part of the one Life consisting of, at that point in time, not-self or other. Once that penetration through the perceived barrier is achieved it results in precipitation of that substance into the perceived self. This achieves a breaking down of barriers of consciousness that can be accomplished vertically into higher aspects of Self and Cosmos or horizontally tearing down barriers within the race of humanity. Precipitation is the free flow of the substance of the one Being.
The Idea—John March
The destined work of the human family is to act as a bridge between the world of spirit and the world of material forms. All grades of matter meet in mankind, and all states of consciousness are possible to him. Mankind can lift the subhuman kingdoms into heaven and bring heaven down to earth.
Dr. Edward Bach: A Forerunner—Mindy Yale
The career of Dr. Bach was marked with profound medical achievements, nobility of character, and an abiding belief that nature held the key for the eradication of human disease and suffering. His one-pointed endeavor resulted in the discovery of a set of remedies within nature which address the level of the cause of disease, and paved the way for the medicine of the future.
