CONTENTS:
Coming Requirements for Group Discipleship -- Editorial
For all the hopeful expectancy today regarding the new age and Aquarian values of group service, it is nevertheless likely that true group discipleship is still only in the pioneering stages. For perspective, the Tibetan teacher pointed out that it has taken millenia of years for group initiation to be even hypothetically possible of achievement. He cited certain factors in group relationships as particularly troublesome. These include the bonds of sentiment between group members—the curious emotional reaction that links personalities by affection or antipathy (and these are often two sides of the same coin).
The New Group of World Servers: An Historical Overview – Part III -- Djwhal Khul
The Next Phase of Esotericism -- Simons L. Roof
The creation of the most beautiful cathedrals and temples on Earth involved those who didn’t mind dirtying their hands to do the most menial, necessary work. The Aquarian esotericist shares that attitude.
The Rules of the Road – Part I -- Ernest S. Suffern
One of the first experiences of the aspirant, as he nears the entrance of the Path of Discipleship, and often one of the most uncomfortable, is the glaring brilliance of the light in which he finds himself. He has been quite accustomed to a world of half lights, or perhaps still more dimly lighted regions, in which imagination and pretense might make things and people seem quite other than in fact they were.
The Ashram of Synthesis – Part I -- Gordon Davison
One of the ways this note of synthesis is powerfully sounded is by recognising that current members within our groups should not be seen as limited to those who might presently be participating.
Emitting the Word of Evocation -- Peter Seebeck
Therefore in learning to emit Words in cooperation with the Hierarchy, it appears the group is responsive to sound coming from two directions—from the higher kingdoms, and from humanity. It is a blending of these sounds into a creative expression which forms part of the meditation work.
A Planet of Creativity—Ruth Kelland
Concepts of oneness appear to be new and revolutionary. However, this divine unified field has been in us and through us all along. Through our clarified personality bodies, we draw it out of implicity into new and illumined forms which speak of brotherhood, sharing, interdependence and other themes of wholeness, so that unity becomes the benchmark by which all decisions are made.
Mother Teresa—A Forerunner -- Deborah Sheridan
"The message was very clear. I had to leave the convent and consecrate myself to helping the poor by living among them. It was a command. I knew where I had to go, but I did not know how to get there." She referred to it as her "Call within a Call", a day she remembered as her "Day of Inspiration".
