Dear Readers
Today we are about to enter that special period in the esotericist’s annual calendar, the 19th February. It’s a time in which certain influences, much revered by the Buddhists as the birthday of Padmapani (both our higher mind as also an Avatara or Bodhisattva of a great ‘Buddha’) and in China, where he or it becomes, in its female aspect, Kwan-yin, she ”who assumes any form, at pleasure, in order to save mankind.” (The Secret Doctrine ii 178-9).
What these beings are in actuality is most easily grasped by a sound intuition informed by deep study of the great religious texts of antiquity WHEN decoded by those most reliable of “keys”, the ones given by the original Theosophical pioneers in the 19th c.
It is taught these inner forces (shall we also call them thought-forms?) have sway over certain parts of our psychic and spiritual nature… if we can but tune ourselves to them and so feel their effects.
So with the certainty of the goodness of these times we commend to you this last issue of the AQ to be edited in London UK, and so draw the attention of our faithful readers to a change in editors, as published yesterday. You’ll see the details under the tab at the top, click on “New editorship…”
Under the new editors we will no doubt see new perspectives, but also with the same focus on the things that really matter BEHIND the world’s news, as interpreted by the magic touchstone or ‘formula’, that of man being a reflection of the Cosmos… and thus his seven-fold constitution and powers also matching those in greater nature. It is this which underpins that deep and almost universally held belief in the great unity - on the inner plane of life if not always on the outer ones - of all men, animals and matter also, in its holistic sense.
Well, we wish you enjoy this edition: there are some good stories, see especially the ones on the practical application of these ideas in the work of “Compassion in World Farming USA’s” great initiative on chickens in Georgia (p 7), and the letter (not wholly unconnected to that story?) illustrating what is pseudo-Theosophy and what it is not, on p 8.
Print off a copy, take it with you on your travels, pass it on to others of like mind and sympathy. We need have no concern whether such a thoughtful (and well-judged) act opens a door for them or not, “having done our best we leave the rest”.
Life being, what it is go on with confidence and fine discrimination… you never know what is around the corner.
