CONTENTS:
The United Nations: A Spiritual Achievement-Editorial
The forces of separatism and division continue to thrive wherever political partisanship, religious hatreds, and racism exist. They find inlets into human consciousness wherever human beings limit their identity to a particular group at the expense of the greater humanity.
Organising the Ashrams into Form on Earth - Part I-Djwhal Khul
The Lord of Harmony-Revealer of the Path-Lawrence Newey
The quality of steadfastness, so necessary in controlling the energy of the fourth ray, now predominates and enables the disciple to stand at the centre of his being and to form right relationships with the surrounding environment. These harmonious inter-relationships display the quality that has been gained from cycling around the Heavens-a quality known as the harmony of the spheres.
The Dual Life of the Disciple-Roberto Assagioli
This "task of spiritual living in a world consecrated to things material", as Alice Bailey has aptly formulated it presents indeed real and great difficulties and each of us is only too well acquainted with them. The increasingly rapid rhythm of modern life, the many demands from one's family and friends, the financial complexities and problems, the distracting noises, the overcrowded houses, streets, buses and trains; the lack of privacy; the whole materialist trend and emphasis of Western civilization-have created a most trying situation.
Building the New House of Humanity-Laura Harrison
Let us ponder on these two actions-that of using a "shell" to avoid engagement and that of using a shell to engage on our terms only and attempt to view them as being on a continuum. Is it possible to see these actions in terms of progression toward the ideal of the Cancer keynote?
The Way to Higher Fiery Consciousness - Part III-Maria Lenos
In no other of his works does Wagner give more convincing evidence of his profound grasp of occult knowledge of spiritual power than he does in Tristan and Isolde. This alone would earn him from those of spiritual understanding recognition of his musical initiateship.
The Three Aspects of Will-Linda Rinelli
The "evolution of will" is the point to be made. An aspirant starts out on the probationary path, works on integrating the personality, controlling the mind and becoming responsive to humanity. At the next level is the disciple, who focuses on the functioning of the soul, the objective of illumination and Buddhi or intuitional control and cultivating reponse to the Hierarchy.
What is Spiritual about War?-Susan MacNeil
War creates a tension between the pairs of opposites. This is the electric driving force of positive and negative charges. We are hearing that in every country there is a split between the people. There is a huge divide in the battle between reason and devotion, the 6th Ray of Devotion and Idealism versus the 2nd Ray of Love and Wisdom.
Shamballa Pulsations-Mary Senter
What a monumental job and responsibility it is to be an office in charge of the dispensing of energies-energies that either build or destroy the life: energies that either increase the voltage in forms so that they are more vibrant, more alive, more in tune; or energies that dispense and annihilate forms as a result of receiving more energies than what the form can handle.
