CONTENTS:
Points of Inspiration for the Coming Cycle -- Editorial
Each year through the three spiritual Festivals, the light and love and will of God are renewed and released into our planet and the centre Humanity. These Festivals are regarded by the spiritual Hierarchy as points of inspiration for the work to be done in the immediate cycle.
Sex in the New Age-Part II -- Djwhal Khul
Wesak: The Blessing of Shamballa - Sarah McKechnie
Behind the ritual and ceremony of Wesak lies a massive generation of energies that can't be seen with the physical eye, but with the spiritual eye. Let us use our imaginations to see our group alignment as a channel that reaches from the human participants straight to the highest beings who overshadow our planet, known as the Forces of Light.
Esoteric Healing in the 21st Century-Part I -- Judy Jacka
One of the special needs of our time is the need for synthesis in both diagnosis and therapy. There are few people who address both the inner and outer causes of disease. Environmental causes feature strongly at this point of time in our planetary life, but the majority of diseases are still arising from our focus in the astral body with its disrupting desires.
The ability of the etheric body to receive prana is dependent upon the integrity and correct placement of vertebrae in relationship to each other. Distortion of the spine inhibits reception of prana and functional disorders of the body make their appearance.
Elements of New Age Spirituality in the Harry Potter Novels
of J.K. Rowling-Part I -- Temple Richmond
New Age spirituality can be said to draw heavily for its inspiration upon the western esoteric tradition.
The same might perhaps be said of Rowling's Potter novels, for…they are filled with and informed by allusions to historical personages and components of this same spiritual and literary tradition.
Evelyn Underhill: Forerunner of Practical Mysticism Within the Church- Michelle Pearce
Her analysis of mysticism assisted, ironically, in demystifying it and lending scientific credibility to what the mystics achieved. She was able to show the similarities across the mystics of the ages and thus demonstrate the science of mysticism.
Can Peace-Personal and Global-be the Holy Grail of So Many Legends and Quests? -- Anton Schmalz
The ideal of peace has likely been germinating in human consciousness in some form since our earliest beginnings. How and what can we do to make peace attractive enough to be profitable-more profitable than our current ways?
