CONTENTS:

Editorial – Thought Directs Energy.
Thinking within the heart, sometimes called brooding, is a process of nourishing a special vision – a seed crystal for a new civilisation perhaps.

The Value of Knowing the True Nature of Man – Dwjhal Khul
Science, exoteric or esoteric, is a collective mental and imaginative project to represent the nature of the cosmos consistently at all levels. As such, it’s a definite strand in the building of the collective antahkarana, serving to clarify the shared structures of consciousness and form in which circulating energies are differentiated, materialised and re-synthesised.

The Macrocosmic Mind: Learning to Think Abstractly – Katherine Hendon
The distinction between purificatory and initiatory fires lies in their intent and function. The former prepares, cleanses, and purifies.... The latter transforms and elevates, activating the divine potential within and bringing the aspirant into alignment with the universal order. Purification is the prerequisite; initiation is the fulfillment.

Love as the Spirit of Construction: On the integration of Buddhist and Christian Thought – Swaan Barrett
Love is the unifying force that both builds the universe and integrates Buddhist detachment with Christian compassion through active soul-infused service.

Pythagoras – Genius and Piscean Forerunner – Joanne Kutzler

The Ladder of Life – Caroline Fisher
Freewill and sacrifice allow us to climb the living ladder of life, uniting love, intelligence, and will in service to the planetary whole.

Personal and Worldly Tension – by a Student
Tension marks the meeting point of opposites and calls forth transformation, both in personal development and planetary evolution.

The Externalization of Consciousness: Yogic, Biological, Astrological, and Quantum Perspectives – Zed James
The human kingdom now stands at a unique moment upon its evolutionary arc—a moment characterized by our growing capacity to concretely externalize (as conscious evocation) those internal truths which have previously remained esoteric.

The Problem of Wealth and Poverty – Catherine Crews
In a sacred economy we recognize that we are one with our group brothers, that the love of the soul guides the sharing of all we have, that the strength and encouragement of each are necessary for the well-being of all.

Black Elk – A Forerunner – Edith Naas
