Dear
Friends,
On page one of “The Aquarian” you will find “As I Search for Truth: a Prayer For My
Companions”. And it says:
“Thinking about good qualities makes them expand in
others as well as in myself. This does not mean there is no need for mutual
severity, since firmness is an indispensable tool at all times.”
On page 3, you can see “Helena Blavatsky on the Christians Whose Faith is Pure”. She had
great respect for mystical Christianity. Page 4 presents “Christianity According to the Eastern Masters - a Message From the
Maha-Chohan”.

Dear
Friends,
The February edition of the Aquarian is largely dedicated to the challenges of studying
esoteric philosophy.
Page one brings the article “Learning Theosophy: A Knowledge Beyond Words”, which says:
“It is often difficult for students of esoteric
philosophy to fully grasp basic facts. Among them, the fact that philosophical
knowledge is not in words, and is not conveyed by them. Knowledge has to be
transmitted or achieved in some other way. One can count on the help, but not
more than the help, of the written teachings. It took me quite a while to
realize the many implications of this fact.”
The text proceeds:
“Between 1999
and 2002 I identified and documented the deep gap that separates the authentic
teachings of theosophy from the pseudo-esoteric fantasies produced in the
period between 1892 and 1933. I then naively thought that the rational, sincere
study of the authentic teachings would generate an efficient theosophical
action.”
Other topics in this edition:
* Preserving
and Purifying: Helena Blavatsky, On Vishnu and Shiva-Rudra.
* Firmness,
Accuracy, Open-Mindedness - in the Study of the S.D. and the Spiritual
Path.
* A

Should Young People Study ‘The Secret Doctrine’, and How? - A Message

* Thoughts
Along the Road: There Is a Basic Central
Principle That Helps Organize Karma and Define the Way It Unfolds.

Il’in: The Need for an Autonomy of the Soul.
* Truthfulness

World Transition.

Dear
Friends,
The front page of the January edition presents an
uncomfortable question: “Is the USA
Working to Build World Peace?”
The article says:
“Good-willing
persons should watch with care the actions of our great world champion of human
rights, the only country which has used nuclear weapons so far.”
“In August
1945, the United States launched two atomic bombs against the entire civil
populations of the cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This was done in spite of the
fact that Japan was already militarily defeated. Circumstances are
well-documented. There was no military need, and no ethical justification, to
use the bombs and instantly kill such a large and defenceless human population.”
On the other hand -
“The country
has had great leaders and thinkers like William Penn, Benjamin Franklin,
Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy, to name a few. Its spiritual resources
include extraordinary individuals like Martin Luther King Jr. It is still
possible to stop a repeated mistake and reawaken to the practice of respectful
cooperation.”
Is it the time now to have more respect for life?
On page three we have the historical speech on
world peace delivered by John F. Kennedy,
in 1963, a few months before being mysteriously assassinated.
Kennedy’s address contains a positive prophecy
which theosophists know sooner or later will be a reality, one way or another: the
liberation of the world from the nightmare of nuclear weapons.
Other topics in this edition:
* A
Prayer for Our Planetary Community.
* Vasily
Rozanov: On the Magic of Human Birth.
* Thoughts
Along the Road: Each Winter Prepares a Springtime.
* Self-Control
and Contentment - 02 (Concluded): How Far the Sensations, Appetites,
Passions and Affections Are in Our Power, by Francis Hutcheson.
* Il’in,
the Anticommunist Who Was Saved by Lenin - The Hegelian Thinker is
Influential in Russia and Still Little-Known in the West.
* The

for present generations.
