 The Personal Journey of a Seeker after Truth
JAMES DAVIS
Writer, Thinker, Mystic and Poet
[Brisbane Goodwill: These interviews are with individuals who are “students of life” or “seekers after truth”, searchers who are endeavouring to find knowledge and understanding in the body of teachings called the Ageless Wisdom. These are the disseminated teachings of the Buddha, of Christ, and other great teachers who have guided man’s spiritual destiny. Many hundreds of thousands of people all over the world – perhaps millions of people, are now on such a search. It is hoped that these brief glimpses of one person’s journey will be inspiring and helpful to others who are also seeking the way.]
The Sun’s Handmaidens by James Davis
Are you a builder through hyperspace, artists in the hidden deep of time, the merge of ancient and future dreams, the revolutions of light? Your weave of rainbows brightens and fades. Each of your waves launches a congress of celestial ships, sacred spheres of precise destiny. It is pattern, purpose, so carefully laid, poured out and shaped of your own luminous garments. Your devices are intertwined with master workers. With them you bring revelation, new colors of the rich manifold life, new rainbows brought close to the eyes; painful in resplendency, the gifts without names. You partner with invisible lords to make gleaming crowns.
For she who guarded and sustained the sanctuaries, for she who became visible, greatest reverence. At high point, all luminous, she greets us. in the celestial air we see crystal clearly. The sun's handmaidens, all arrayed in light, restore the failing links, make perfect sound–their healing fountains are all colored of mysterious fires.
I wield thought but by your color and sound. I think in your geometry. I feel your scattering stars, the breathing of souls into space. The source of commands disappears behind galaxies, to me only faint points of light in deep.
How do you implement nations and destinies so skillfully, spin the wheels of time, relate cause and effect, unfold the flower? You must love the sun, the instructions. Will you tell what geometric hyperspace stores memory and music? To you, the patterning is natural, I strain to catch a few notes of the commands. Along the hem of your garments, the notes of synchronicity flash like diamonds.
These angels, the living dimensions of spaces, the faces of god, the facets of love's creations–they have become personal–these impersonal deities of light, these supplanters of the one life, they arrest thought with pure meaning. There are days when the fiery spaces feel as intimate as our own eyes. Read more …

The three major Spiritual Festivals in 2010
Easter releases the force of Resurrection at the Aries Full Moon;
Wesak releases the force of Enlightenment at the Taurus Full Moon;
Christ’s Festival (World Invocation Day) releases the force of Reconstruction at the Gemini Full Moon.
The Wisdom Teachings tell us that Christ never left humanity, and on "higher levels" as the Bodhisattva or World Teacher, He still works tirelessly with the Masters of the White Brother hood or Spiritual Hierarchy, to lead humanity from greed and materialism, into a more caring and inclusive society. The work reaches maximum intensity each year during the period of the three major planetary Festivals in Aries, Taurus and Gemini, when humanity is bathed with forces which quicken his spiritual impulse and so which help the race evolve and build a new and better world.
Aries – EASTER: Festival of the Resurrection of the living Christ.
Meditation Monday 29th March, 7.30pm
In this Festival of Resurrection – just as the Christ was resurrected from death to life, so is humanity given the opportunity to be restored to greater spiritual awareness and power. In every human heart there is a Flame of Life, the Spark of the living Christ, our connection with the Divine. It gives life to every cell in the physical, emotional and mental bodies. This fire does not burn nor radiate as brightly as it might, because of our negative thoughts and emotions. The spiritual fire pouring from Aries, stimulates and renews that flame. Read more …
 Celebration of the Light
at the New Moon and Full Moon
Leoni Hodgson, PMAFA, MSE (Psych), PhD Esotericism
The opposing forces of Spirit and Matter eternally wrestle for ascendancy in the universe,
and for control of the minds, hearts and souls of all living creatures.
Spirit’s presence, the symbol of God in nature – is blazing Light. When light floods the earth, mankind is filled with greater love, optimism, hope and sure belief that all will be well! All lives in the universe thrive, grow and evolve, when stimulated by light!
The agent of the Force of Materialism is darkness. When it rolls its veil over the planet, it overpowers light and drives it to temporary exile under the onslaught of nightfall, clouds, cold and ice. Then the psychic aura of the earth is prey to denizens who thrive in the dark – the demon army of illusion and glamour. These negative forces although ever present, come into their power in the absence of Light. They prey on those in whom the inner light is not strong, increasing anxiety, depression and general negativity. In the lunar cycle, they are at their strongest in the darkest period before the New Moon. Vampire myths are based on this truth. Powerful in the dark, if they have not returned to their hiding places by the time the first ray of the Sun sweeps the earth at dawn, they die! Darkness dies when light returns.
These opposing forces of Spirit and matter are symbolised by the Sun and Moon.
The Sun is a blazing star, a source of life, light and energy which nurtures and gives life to all beings within its system. In comparison, the moon is a decaying form, a corpse from which all life has long departed. It disturbs and pollutes the atmosphere on Earth. It steals light from the Sun and parades across the night sky as the Moon Goddess, radiant in a garment of silver, in order to seduce those who are captivated by surface illusion. But it is dead, and dark, and has no light or life of its own! Read more …
 Build a partnership for peace,
right here in America
Ziad Asali
WASHINGTON, DC – With the turbulence surrounding diplomacy and the Middle East peace process, it is more urgent than ever for civil society to unite around the obvious reality that a conflict-ending solution can only be attained through the creation of a Palestinian state living side by side with Israel in peace and security.
The two-state solution became official US policy under President George W. Bush, and it is today seen as a national security priority under President Barack Obama. It has been adopted internationally by the United Nations, the Middle East Quartet, the Palestine Liberation Organisation, the Arab League and by successive Israeli governments. It has also now come to define all mainstream American thinking about this issue, including the positions of the majority of both Arab and Jewish American organisations.
In the region, this policy is only opposed by radicals, such as the Iranian government, Hamas and Hizbullah, and by ideological extremists on the Israeli far right. In the West, opposition is restricted to activists on the extreme left and right political fringes.
However, too much of our politics has not yet come into harmony with this policy consensus.
On the positive side, recent months have witnessed an unprecedented consensus between the Obama administration and Congress. Longstanding supporters of Israel in Congress have clearly stated that the two-state solution serves American and Israeli strategic interests, and have accordingly supported the administration's early efforts to lay the foundations for renewed peace talks and to build the institutions of a Palestinian state.
On the other hand, the old zero-sum attitudes – in which a gain for one side is seen as an inevitable loss for the other, and more energy is spent on scoring debating points than on reaching solutions – continue to dominate the relationship between the Palestinian and Israeli governments, and also between Arab and Jewish communities and organisations in America.

 Woman PeaceMaker of South Korea
HYUN-SOOK KIM LEE
Christian and Humanitarian
Currently the vice president of the Korean Red Cross, Lee was raised in post-World War II Korea in a Confucian society marked by extreme poverty, heightened tension and militarization due to the political division between the North and South. As a student at the Hanshin Theological Seminary, Lee studied globally conscious theology which focused on politics and international affairs. She is the youngest member of the Presidential Advisory Committee for Reunification and the chairperson of the Advisory Committee of the Reunification Ministry.
Through her work as chief of the Women's Desk at the Korea Christian Academy, Lee, in collaboration with her colleagues, was responsible for initiating a program aimed at raising awareness and eradicating domestic violence in South Korea. The Korea Women's Hotline provides guidance and support to victims of domestic violence and has served as a catalyst for the progressive women's movement in Korea. The hotline was instrumental in establishing domestic and sexual violence as criminal acts in South Korea.
As co-founder and former executive director of Women Making Peace, an NGO established in 1997, with the goal of creating a culture of peace on the Korean peninsula, Lee has helped to open the door between the two Koreas by getting humanitarian aid to the North and encouraging the first people-to-people visits. Women Making Peace is a multi-dimensional organization that views gender equality, demilitarization, denuclearization, respect for human rights and the eventual reunification of North and South Korea as several of the necessary steps to making peace a reality. In the 10 years since its inception, Women Making Peace has forged new ground by bringing peace, gender and reunification issues to the forefront of Korean society.
In her present post at the Korean Red Cross, Lee is engaging in humanitarian activities, which has included her participation in the reunion of separated families across the divide of the peninsula. Inspired by her time at the IPJ, Lee recently initiated a 1325 Peace Club, which works toward implementing in Korea the agreed-upon commitments as outlined by the U.N. Security Council Resolution. The 1325 Peace Club activities also include visits to training centers for defectors from North Korea, of which approximately 70 percent are women, and the submission of recommendations to the minister of unification and related officials on appropriate measures for the successful resettlement of women. Lee has received the prestigious National Reconciliation Award from the Korean Council of Reconciliation and Cooperation, made up of leaders from NGOs and government, and a National Decoration from the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family.

True knowledge is not 'knowing', but 'seeing'. Ramana Maharshi
Evolution of Consciousness
through the Rootraces
By Phillip Lindsay 2010
(Read profile below).
The secret history of the world is revealed in many traditions, the durations of which far surpass the miniscule figures used in modern times. H.P. Blavatsky (HPB) brought together many of these historical and chronological strands in her magnum opus, The Secret Doctrine (1888), a major foundation stone for the emerging Aquarian cycle. Throughout HPB’s works are scattered details of this ancient history – culled from the Vedas, Upanishads, the Zend Avesta, Old Testament and so forth.
(In the interests of simplicity, I have elected to keep this article relatively footnote-free; most references are from HPB and can be found in my writings where they are fully referenced and footnoted.)
In the denial or ignorance of its true origins lies the source of disempowerment for Humanity; in not knowing its divine source, the nature of the human soul or the very lengthy evolution of human consciousness that stretches back some 21 million years.
Who today really reflects about our true history and ancient past, preoccupied in a very busy world trying to survive? Most accept the culturally conditioned views of the Bible and/or modern science, both of which do not offer more than 5-10,000 years for the origin of human civilisation. These figures are however being pushed further back into hundreds of thousands or millions of years in some cases, which is very encouraging. There are also excellent authors like Michael Cremo who are bridging from the ancient Vedic teachings to modern science, challenging many of the latter’s pre-conceptions.
The Hidden History of Humanity Vol. I (HHH-1) is based upon the works of HPB and brings to light for the first time many key points, including the chronology and unfoldment of the ancient civilisations of Lemuria and Atlantis. Further planned volumes will bridge to several aspects of mainstream science – to blend the esoteric teaching with the best discoveries in academia; this has already been attempted (HHH-1) with the examination of the geological key to The Secret Doctrine.

A New Commandment I Give Unto You:
"THAT YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER
AS I HAVE LOVED YOU."
By Corinne Heline
Esotericist of the 20th Century
Upon a high hill stands a luminous white Temple. The structure is twelve-sided, and raised above its vast dome is a great cross gleaming against a five-pointed star of light. The interior of the Temple is full of a shimmering white mist, purer than the most crystalline snow. Above the altar hangs a spotless white cross, its center adorned by a single white rose.
This Temple is the seat of a group of benign beings who have dedicated themselves to service to the world, to bring about the upliftment of mankind and the surcease of sorrow and pain. The masses of humanity are completely unaware of their work, but to the wise they are known as the Compassionate Ones, Ever at the mystic hour of midnight these mighty ones assemble before the great cross with its single perfect flower. As they unite their spiritual forces and direct them toward the rose it gradually becomes lumi¬nous; its petals unfold, and a light, dawn-fresh and pure, increases until the entire blossom is transformed to a radiant golden hue. This light continues to increase in volume and intensity as the work of the Brothers proceeds, until the whole Temple is suffused with it. Then the light passes out through the twelve windows, one of which adorns each of the twelve sides of the Temple. All the landscape round about is illumined by the mighty rays as they ex¬pand and advance and are finally swallowed up in the infinitude of space. Read more …
