CONTENTS:

Editorial – The Corner Stone
The Group of World Servers is the crucible in which the new ideas and energies are being forged and tested so that they can later become the goal for human aspiration and activity. By blending heart and mind, they demonstrate the way forward; by acting as a balancing force, they become the bridge between forces antagonistic and distrustful of each other so that understanding and compassion may prevail.

The Mystery of the Ages – Djwhal Khul
When humanity is assured of divinity and of immortality, and has entered into a state of knowledge as to the nature of the soul and of the kingdom in which that soul functions, its attitude to daily life and to current affairs will undergo such a transformation that we shall verily and indeed see the emergence of a new heaven and a new earth.

Invoking the Will-to-Good – Christine Morgan
One of the most important ways that we can further the divine Plan is to have a clear spiritual goal. In this way we evoke the will-to-good and draw the energy to serve into our lives. Unlike the manifesting form, spiritual quality is not destined to constant change or decay.

I Don’t Want to Separate Anyone from Anyone – John Rasmussen
All aspirants have a mandate to work for peace, so as to live in spiritual consciousness under the influence of causal energies, and manifest a portion of the Plan of God for the benefit of all sentient beings. Rising in thought to the idea of spiritual brotherhood strengthens our resolve to serve humanity.

Reflections on the Reappearance of the World Teacher – Steve Nation
I imagine there is no difficulty for most of us in accepting that Christ or the Buddha, the Prophet Muhammad or other historical figures lived in earlier times and brought with them revelations that changed the course of history. So why is it that there is a difficulty in accepting that such a thing might happen again in our time?

The Science of the Hands – Margaret Haselhurst
Hands are one of the means by which the creative energy of the third aspect of divinity is brought to expression. Those who seek to co-operate with the creative process learn to work ‘with the eyes open, the voice proclaiming and the hands conferring’.

Maya and the Senses – Lawrence Farrow
If that which can be apprehended by the five senses is Maya, what part then should the senses play in the life of the esotericist? The fundamental dictum of esoteric development, is that we must eliminate awareness of the sense organs, and as such, these sense organs which have carried us through the long phase of our Earthly material journey must be silenced.

Influenza: An Esoteric Perspective – Anthony Griffiths
Esoterically, viruses may be thought of as an acute agent of metaphor, drawn into the human experience by the unconscious creative faculty of humanity, to serve a purpose. Disease serves that purpose, which depicts in conscious awareness an uncomfortable precipitation of a problem for us to turn our attention to.

The Weather and the Wise Physician – Simon Marlow
Live simply that others may simply live, as the saying goes. It is this attitude that will transform the human race from an infecting toxic parasite into a benign organism that will transmit the love of Hierarchy and the will-to-Good of Shamballa to all life on the planet in an extravagance of creativity characterised by real harmlessness and the beginnings of a global self-forgetfulness.
