Enthusiasm is quite possibly the most important ingredient of any new venture. Without it, there is nothing exceptional, spontaneous or living about what one is trying to create. Fortunately for the team working on Next Future, support and eagerness were never lacking and in fact many a time this also resulted in new ideas.
One such idea was of incorporating a section where we could invite opinions and view points from all over the world regarding the change in consciousness or the need for it. These subtle hints of an awakening taking place even as we speak, are for a large part inconspicuous to the general populace but nevertheless already activated and seeking to make themselves heard.
Since it is never easy to understand the cultures of other nations, this section can act as a world forum of sorts where people can contribute their insight towards this movement, as applicable to the country they hail from. We hope that individuals all over the world will respond and write for A World, astir…
Something else that was also felt as essential was a way to showcase letters with suggestions, ideas, support and criticism and that is what has led to Your Voice. We entreat you to feel free and write to us about anything that may strike you regarding Next Future in its concrete form as well as from a larger perspective. There is a possibility that we may not have enough space to feature all letters coming in, but we will try our utmost to do so.
The poem "Let me love you" (feb issue) had a deep impact on me. It is so true that the ultimate way we could be blessed is by realising every moment of our lives that we love the divine and that we are loved by Her.*
I have been reading your e-magazine ¾ it is very informative. The words of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother will always be inspiring.
