MAY/JUNE 2002CONTENTS: Editorial—"Preparing For True Peace All polarities, all true opposites, when properly integrated form a complete whole. To achieve a true and lasting peace, change, movement, and a deep upheaval of the foundations of human society are necessary. Yet too often peace is invoked prematurely, as it were, before the necessary transformational changes have been put in place. Can the Fact of the Soul be Proved?—Part II—Djwhal Khul The Invocative Appeal of Humanity—Sarah McKechnie The impulse to find common ground is a divine tendency within humanity, but like all that is good, it is evoking an opposing reaction from the forces that would divide and separate human beings from each other. The Art of Conversion in Platonic Philosophy–-Zachary F. Lansdowne Socrates, who was Plato’s teacher and the great hero of the Platonic dialogues, was a practitioner of the art of conversion, that is, the art of turning people in the right direction. The General Principles of Esoteric Astrology—Part I—M. Temple Richmond The medium of transmission through which all energies travel is the cosmic etheric body, a web of light substance linking all of creation, from the greatest and most abstract to the least and most concrete. The Reawakening of the Religious Impulse—Steve Nation …it seems to me that one of the greatest problems we have in the modern world is the absence, almost the total absence, of a truly Aquarian religious impulse. The problem is that because religion has become largely sidelined into Piscean forms, the Aquarian cultures that are evolving and taking shape, particularly in the West, have become almost overwhelmingly humanistic. Martin Luther: A Forerunner—Michelle Jakle In the early years of 1500, an individual came into the religious forefront who would forever change the nature of Christianity. This person, Martin Luther, inaugurated a reformation that continues to influence religion to this day. Despite his controversial theological and political beliefs, Martin Luther can be regarded as a forerunner in the area of religion. The Problem of the Children is the Community’s Responsibility—David E. Hopper How can we teach the children values, discipline, and morality when the adults themselves are not setting an example or are sending conflicting messages? Books and Publications | |||
