If in the course of thousands of years men had not always acted as they still do today, if they had not time and again distorted everything that was intended to help them, in order to adapt it to their human way of thinking and their earthly desires, there would now be only one uniform teaching here on earth, issuing from the Will of God. There would not be so many kinds of denominations. All the teachings that have come to earth in the past would, united, form a single flight of steps to the pedestal on which the Truth is to stand, as it has so often been proclaimed…

Life is movement. And so is living. Being alive requires being able to be inwardly mobile. Thus, growing up from childhood there is an urge to find our own way through the maze of everyday experiences; a struggle through the usual pre-teen woes in order to sort out how to live a worthwhile life. Passing into our teen years we negotiate a critical phase in the physical and emotional transition of puberty, the first step on the road to adulthood, with its accompanying trials and tribulations. But increasingly for many youngsters, this onset is also the beginning of a very chaotic phase in their lives. In spite of the diversity of experiences, or perhaps just because of them, it is a time fraught with uncertainty and fevered identity exploration in…

A wolf and a fox once lived together. The fox, who was the weaker of the two, had to do all the hard work, which made him anxious to leave his companion. One day, passing through a wood, the wolf said, ‘Red-fox, get me something to eat, or I shall eat you.’ The fox answered, ‘I know a place where there are a couple of nice young lambs; if you like, we will go and fetch one.’ This pleased the wolf, so they went. The fox stole one, brought it to the wolf, and then ran away, leaving his comrade to devour it. This done, the wolf was not content, but wishing for the other, went himself to fetch it; and being very awkward, the old sheep saw him, and…

The majority of mankind think that the only object of this earth-life is the purpose of acquiring material gain! Also at best the purpose of a family and children! He who does not think so still acts accordingly! But on such a basis what is the use of propagation, as you call it, which in reality does not mean propagation at all, but simply provides opportunities for other human spirits to incarnate so that these may continue to improve themselves and cast off old faults. By your behaviour you add to the burden of your guilt; for you thereby prevent all those spirits from ascending, whom you bring up as your children for the same empty purposes! Abd-ru-shin In writing a letter to the magazine, please include the writer’s…

When one ponders on the tremendous journey of evolution over the past three billion years or so, the prodigious wealth of structures it has engendered, and the extraordinarily effective teleonomic performances of living beings from bacteria to man, one may well find oneself beginning to doubt again whether all this could conceivably be the product of an enormous lottery presided over by natural selection, blindly picking the rare winners from among numbers drawn at random.
