Sophia Foundation Starlight Journal
Dear Friends,
The Sophia Foundation is pleased to share a special downloadable Easter 2020 edition of Starlight from former editor, John O’Meara.
John O’Meara has been the editor of Starlight and has produced two inspiring issues (Advent 2018 & Easter 2019). With this third issue (Easter 2020) John will now step back from this editorial work in order to focus on other projects. Here much gratitude is expressed in appreciation to John for the work he has done in shepherding Starlight through these three issues.
Here with John’s words of introduction to this third and last issue of Starlight under his editorship:
This issue of Starlight is the last in a series of three issues that go back to Advent 2018. The main theme for that issue was our Sophianic Mother as She bears Her influence in our world principally out of Her long cosmic past. The theme of the Easter issue which followed was the Grail stream, which was traced for the most part from the time of the Mystery of Golgotha up to the present era. The present issue can be said to have as its main theme what could be described as the next phase: pointing to that great Sophianic culture of the future, which we normally bring into focus especially in relation to the 6th post-Atlantean epoch but of which we are already being given intimations today, when we already face mounting challenges to this future. At some point this theme is treated in a direct continuum from our previous concern with the Grail stream in an earlier issue. Naturally, also, we have concentrated in this issue to a large extent on the prominent role to be played by the Russian and East-Slavic people in this future. This is a very large subject, and inevitably a good deal of the material that is included here remains at the level of intimations, and is necessarily fragmentary. Yet hopefully in the midst of these efforts by various hands glimmers of the reality of our highly complex and extraordinary evolutionary destiny will have come through, to inspire a still greater search along these lines in future, among ourselves and associated friends.

Easter Sunday is the day of commemorating the Resurrection. Traditionally these words of the Risen One: “Peace be with you!” are considered to be the first words spoken by the Risen One to the disciples—these words, both in English and Aramaic, being central to the Shambhala path, now being opened to humanity by Christ.
In the native language of the Master, “Peace be with you!” would have sounded forth as: “Shalama Alakhoon.”
Our regular Starlight publication comes out every Advent Season, once per year, and you can order a print copy of that edition. If you wish to receive a print copy of Starlight, you can order it from our shop HERE. The electronic issue is free, which allows us to reach many more people than we would if we created only a printed version. If you wish to receive a print copy of Starlight, please send a donation of $30 or more to the Sophia Foundation to cover the cost of printing and mailing. Please include a note with your donation indicating that you are requesting a printed copy of the journal to be sent to you—with your mailing address. Donors will not automatically receive a printed copy of the journal—only upon written request.
