CONTENTS:

"Spontaneous Overflow " -- Editorial
…while to the casual observer creative work may appear effortless, paradoxically, it is an effortlessness that is the result of long effort—either in this life or in previous lifetimes.

Alignment of the Ego with the Personality—Djwhal Khul

Some Thoughts on Alignment, the Soul and the Path—Eduardo Gramaglia
The greater the inner alignment, the less distorted the perceived proto-idea, in the same way as the closer a text is to the original language, the better it reveals the author’s original meaning. The attained alignment and co-ordination enables the disciple to become an outpost for a higher consciousness on the physical plane, thus anchoring the seeds of a broader consciousness.

"Man is an Analogist": The Law of Correspondences II–Part I—Michael Srigley
Bacon…offers a philosophical justification for the use of metaphor, figures of speech, symbols and analogies for the light they throw on both mind and matter.

The Fourteen Rules for Group Initiation–Part I—Frances Adams Moore
The only way into the innermost centre is closely guarded and its approach involves the demonstration of readiness within the individual’s and the group’s own life expression. It involves as well purity of motive, a deep love of humanity, selflessness, a willingness to follow wherever the light may lead, and an ability to work within the moment with clear vision and insight.

A Seven Ray Perspective on Addiction—Part II—Richard Bryant-Jefferies
It seems reasonable to hypothesise that many of the addictive problems we see today are adaptive attempts by people to cope with the stimulation of humanity by higher energies….ray energy from the soul can cause over-stimulation which may leave the individual seeking some form of chemical intervention to offset this effect. This is a particular problem for advanced human beings.

Pain—Protector, Prodder, Life Producer—M.E. Haselhurst
A…challenging point in considering pain in relation to spiritual living is that pain enters into all shattering of form, and is part of that changing vibratory capacity which is a concomitant of spiritual unfoldment. As evolution proceeds, the rate of this change accelerates, with consequent intensification of the experience of pain.

Accepting the State of Limbo—John March
We have the theory of the new way and we have left the old behind but now we must make this theory real to our consciousness.
