The New World Order Vs. The New Age: Separating Truth from Falsehood

January 13, 2013 By davidjones

By DR KR BOLTON There are numerous difficulties in trying to discern what among the proliferation of new or revived faiths might be regarded as working to usher forth a New Age based on eternal values, and those that work to establish the rule of malignant, matter-bound forces. The problem is that there are often superficial resemblances that occur between them. Even within the same occult orders, such as Freemasonry, there are a range of views that might be in opposition but are mistaken as … [Read more...]

Embracing the Winds of Change

December 21, 2012 By davidjones

By CHRISTINE PAGE— "Phew! I’m so pleased that’s over! Yes, labour was long and sometimes painful but I’m home again with a beautiful baby and everything will now return to normal.” The soft inner voice of wisdom rises from the shadows, eliciting further response. “What do you mean I’m deluding myself and haven’t a clue about what the future holds? Are you telling me this is just the beginning and that there are more surprises in store with my life undergoing a complete … [Read more...]

Apocalypse: The End Times and the Restoration of All Things

December 21, 2012 By davidjones

By RICHARD SMOLEY— "The earth abideth for ever,” says the Bible (Ecclesiastes 1:4). Whether this is literally true or not, it corresponds to the deepest core of human experience. The Earth was around long before the existence of human beings, and it will probably continue to exist long after we are extinct. Why, then, does the belief in the end of the world – not as a remote possibility but as an imminent event – persist so stubbornly in the mass consciousness? For we continue to … [Read more...]

Reality Shifts: What Happens to Those Who Slip Between the Cracks of Time and Space?

December 14, 2012 By davidjones

By P.M.H. Atwater, L.H.D.— Perception determines “truth.” We invent our own reality through our own perceptions and others’, and by accepting what appears to be real as real. History is filled with stories of people who, in “slipping between the cracks” of their own consciousness (thus altering how they perceived the world around them) uncovered different ways to experience reality. What they accomplished in doing this made an impact on society. You and I, all of us, have profited … [Read more...]

Who’s Afraid of the Paranormal?

December 14, 2012 By davidjones

By FREDDY SILVA— It usually goes something like this: average family live peaceful existence in house. Then one day, objects mysteriously relocate. The dog barks at unseen intruders. The tap that usually streams hot water now vomits a liquid the colour of blood. Strange noises are heard in the middle of the night; on the bed, the billowing duvet outlines the shape of a body that no one can see. The youngest child becomes fluent in a previously dead ancient language before scribbling cryptic … [Read more...]

Spiritism in Brazil: A Vision of Change for the New Medical Paradigm

December 14, 2012 By davidjones

By HUW GRIFFITHS— There was an article in a New Dawn Special Issue No. 5 (published in June 2008) which happened to mention the word ‘Spiritism’. I was unfamiliar with the term except that I’d heard it before in the context of a character called John of God, a spiritual therapist who lives in a remote part of central Brazil. He’s extremely well known in his home country for the fact that he performs operations on up to one thousand patients a day, sometimes using nothing more than an … [Read more...]

Sacred Sight: Improving Vision Naturally

December 1, 2012 By davidjones

By DOUG MARSH — One, two, buckle my shoe Three, four, knock at the door Five, six, pick up sticks …And so the nursery rhyme goes. Preschool kids learn to count in many fun ways to give them a head start in arithmetic. Once they enter the formalised school system, the subject matter eventually takes on a more serious “measure.” As the grades advance, the material progresses into more complex and diverse subjects, such as geometry, trigonometry, algebra and calculus.The focus of … [Read more...]

Transformation 2012?

November 25, 2012 By davidjones

By RICHARD SMOLEY— Prophecy is always to be taken seriously. But that does not mean that it is always to be believed. In fact prophecy as a whole has a rather dismal record for foretelling the future. The apocalyptic predictions of Judaism and Christianity have constantly been disappointed. The predictions of Nostradamus, insofar as they can be understood, have an equally unsatisfactory record; their continued popularity has been assured chiefly by their vagueness. Even scientific forecasts … [Read more...]

With Our Thoughts, We Make the World

November 16, 2012 By davidjones

By WALTER MASON— What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow: Our life is the creation of our mind. – Buddha Those of us who grew up in the 1980s were, quite unknowingly, absorbing a healthy dose of Eastern mysticism when we watched the wonderful Japanese television series “Monkey” every weekday evening at 6.30pm. For all of the colour and movement and occasionally risqué language that appealed to my childish mind, I … [Read more...]

Reptilian Revelations Out of Africa

November 10, 2012 By davidjones

By Uri Dowbenko South Africa-based Zulu shaman Credo Mutwa confirms the story of reptilian-extraterrestrials in Africa, another hidden chapter of the lost history of Planet Earth. Having traveled throughout the world, Credo Mutwa, says that the “legends” of the interactions of humans and reptilians are common knowledge in Australia among the Aborigines, the cultures of Japan and Taiwan, as well as indigenous Native American people like the Mayans, Sioux, Cree, and many others. The Hopis’ … [Read more...]
