SEPTEMBER - OCTOBER 2005
CONTENTS:Hope and Crisis in the Present Times—Editorial
The United Nations is the only truly synthetic means for dealing with global problems, crises and concerns. Its present state of effectiveness is a direct reflection of humanity’s willingness to submerge self-interest in favour of the greater good of the whole.
Certain Great Adjustments are Going On—Djwhal Khul
On Prophecy—the Tibetan
Hamlet and the Augean Stables of the World–Part I—Michael Srigley The specific challenge faced by Hamlet can be compared with the challenge Hercules confronted on his eleventh labour. This involved the enormous task of cleansing the Augean stables. As we shall see, although Hamlet denies any resemblance to Hercules, he does in the end find the strength to perform the task imposed on him.The Olympics & the UN Year of Sport and Physical Education—Joann S. Bakula
The trend to eliminate physical education in primary education is finally being superseded by the new trend toward physical fitness. Engaging in games with other communities can foster an atmosphere of tolerance, acceptance and understanding, helping to build a culture of peace.
The Coming of the Appointed Time—Dale McKechnie
The symbology of Virgo sums up the ultimate goal of the evolutionary process as it plays out through humanity. That goal is to "shield, nurture and finally reveal the hidden spiritual reality, the hidden light of God that is hidden in every form".
A Vision of International Co-Operation—Dan Wheatley
Baha’is recognise the serious dangers posed in all of the chief global ills: war, disease, poverty, injustice, the destruction of the environment, but we view these as the manifestation of a deeper problem; the disunity of the human race. And this leads me to the question of whether we can truly solve any, never mind all, of these macro problems if we don’t have the recognition and realisation of the oneness of humanity.
The NGWS: Objectives, Concerns, Advice and Cyclic Energy in 2005—Stan Shulda
We are at a critical point in the world at the present time. A once in a lifetime influx of concurrent spiritual energies is upon us in 2005, which must be utilised by disciples as it will be by the Hierarchy of souls to help unfold the spiritual Plan on Earth.
Dag Hammarskjold: A Forerunner—Deirdre Parker
A key to Dag Hammarskjold’s world service can be found in his own words, "working at the edge of the development of human society is to work at the brink of the unknown". Here he expresses the work of the world server, linked with Hierarchy. He seems aware that the necessary creative work is that of externalising the unseen—bringing out into the three worlds of man those ideas that exist on spiritual levels of inspiration to man, to help him move on into a lighted future.
