July-September 2020

CONTENTS:

Editorial – Change or Transformation? As we leave the higher interlude of the spiritual year and enter a period of outbreathing ..., we may ask ourselves whether we will just see a change or will humanity initiate the deep transformation that is so needed.

Expanding Truth – Djwhal Khul. The major point I would seek to make here is that the intuition is the source or the bestower of revelation.

The Soul and Issues of Duality – Katherine Hendon. The pairs of opposites are not negative, involutionary, or evil qualities to be eradicated. The pairs of opposites upon the astral plane are, in fact, lower reflections of the higher, divine duality of Spirit and matter. 

A Deeper Look at Corona Virus – Linda Spremulli. We must open the heart and allow the inflow of divine love from the buddhic plane to the astral world. We must begin to tear down the separative walls that hold us in thrall. Unless humanity can do this, the conditions for future pandemics will remain in place.

The Pioneers of the New Art under the inspiration of H. P. Blavatsky – Eduardo Grammaglia. Blavatsky foresaw that the gap between “thoughtful art”, and that which is the product of the increasing materialism of the age, would reach its peak in the following century.

The Astrological Implications of Pluto in Capricorn – Ted Capstick. The period of time from 2008 until 2024 will see planetary crises concerned with the re-payment of karma of harmfulness to the planet itself.

The Date for the Beginning of the Age of Aquarius – Maureen Richmond. The implication for today’s esotericists is clear: the Age of Aquarius is now, not some distant tomorrow. Now is the time to manifest the altruistic ideals and advanced spiritual culture predicted for the Age of Aquarius.

The Paradox of Mysticism and Occultism – Wendy Berg. The foundation of the Western Mystery Tradition can ultimately be traced back to the spiritual beliefs and practices of the ancient civilisations of Greece, Egypt, Chaldea and Sumeria.

Ladder to Infinity – John Rasmussen. The theory of hylozoism posits all material forms as aggregates of living constituents, and all processes involving these forms as vital processes.

The Triangle and the Esoteric Square – Joseph Lovejoy. When the central or focal point of each triangle is taken as a starting point and all these central points are joined by lines, the result is a web of twelve pentagons.
