Your Spiritual Revolution E-magazine has published the October 2008 issue as a special issue on 2012.The significance of the year 2012 has become one of the most controversial issues in spiritual, religious and New Age circles. What kinds of events will happen with the end of the famous Mayan Calendar on December 21, 2012? 

There is too much confusion caused by the conflicting views about 2012. There are the doomsday prophets who predict the end of the world. However, some experts believe it marks only the end of an evolutionary phase and the dawning of a new spiritual cycle of evolution that could herald Heaven on Earth. Some New Agers hope to ascend to a higher dimension where only some chosen ones make the grade, while many others feel the whole planet will go through a Great Shift, a planetary transformation. Then there are questions raised about whether there would be a sudden quantum leap in evolution or a more gradual transformation in successive stages.

This special issue on 2012 addresses such aspects through various views from authors who have explored the 2012 phenomenon in-depth, for enabling readers to get some insights for evolving their own understanding.

The articles are by Henry Reed, Sol Luckman, Ellaeenah, Divya Kummar, Prabhath P, Judy Satori, Melvyn Caryl and Penney Peirce. There is also a poem by Amy I. Ramdass.

Your Spiritual Revolution E-magazine has published the August 2008 issue as a special issue on Virtual Spirituality. The internet has created an unprecedented intensification of interactivity in human communication. People living in distant locations can now gather knowledge rapidly and interact with one another instantly. The World Wide Web, like any technological tool, is a double-edged sword and can be used for the greater good or misused for inflicting harm, according to the level of consciousness of those who use it. We must evolve ways to use the internet for developing a spiritual consciousness for ensuring the survival and further evolution of humanity and Earth.

This special issue is on spirituality in the virtual realm. Virtual Spirituality includes the advancement of spiritual consciousness evolution using various levels of internet technology like email, instant chat, websites, e-books, e-magazines, online social networking and 3D online virtual reality worlds like Second Life. This issue presents unique perspectives from people who have tapped various virtual technological tools to advance spiritual consciousness evolution both individually and collectively.

The articles are by Aniko Babos, Alex Noble, Divyaa Kummar, Ellaeenah, Melvyn Caryl, Jason Goldsworthy, Serge Kahili King and Prabhath P.

The July 2008 issue of Your Spiritual Revolution E-magazine is a general issue without any specific theme. The cover story is on the nature of truth. Truth is often seen by most people as absolute. In the famous story of the blind men and the elephant, the blind men touch different parts of the elephant and think that what they felt alone is the ultimate truth about the elephant. They never realise that their truths, though apparently contradictory, are all aspects of the integral truth of the whole elephant. Humanity has witnessed even violent conflicts caused by differing and competing versions of truth. The cover story examines this paradox of truth and points to the integral and multidimensional nature of truth.

Other topics this issue explores include the tendency to defend ourselves against the unknown, the Shift in human consciousness leading to evolutionary transformation in 2012, Oscar Wilde’s spiritual realisation of Love, Neuro-Lingusitic Programming, how our finite perceptions affect our understanding of reality, the importance of loving relationships and the light language that helps Earth’s ascension to the fifth dimension.

The articles are by Divyaa Kummar, Ellaeenah, Sol Luckman, Jim Mcinvale, Ellen Davis, Oscar Del Santo and Christa Barbara Asal. Amy I. Ramdass and Michaela Sefler have written spiritual poems. This issue features an interview with Judy Satori. There is also a short story by Prabhath P.

Your Spiritual Revolution E-magazine has published the first anniversary issue in June as a special issue on the theme of Enlightenment, which is the aim of meditation, yoga and spirituality itself.

Humanity is currently facing a planetary crisis that threatens our very existence through all sorts of problems ranging from terrorism, racism, violence, poverty, injustice, soulless commercialism and religious fanaticism to global warming caused by ecological destruction. This crisis cannot be resolved through purely scientific or rational approaches, because at its very root, it is a spiritual crisis of consciousness. That makes awakening into Enlightenment crucial for humanity.

What is Enlightenment? Is Enlightenment, an awareness that is already there, which we become aware of through spiritual practices? Is Enlightenment a destination or an evolutionary process? How can we reach individual and collective Enlightenment? This issue aims to look at Enlightenment and paths to Enlightenment from a variety of perspectives to help readers gain a multidimensional and integral understanding.

This special issue includes articles by Anne Kaspar, Dagmar FourBears Ceki, Divyaa Kummar, Ellaeenah, Ellen Davis, Jason Goldsworthy, Johanna Carroll, Maurice Fleming, Oscar Del Santo, Sol Luckman, Penney Peirce, Prem Nirmal, Rose Rosetree, Mitchell Earl Gibson M.D. and Prabhath P. There are also poems by Lawrence Edwards Ph.D., Jason Goldsworthy, Amy Ramdass and Alex N. Moyer.

Cover design is by Alex N. Moyer.

Your Spiritual Revolution E-magazine has published the May issue as a special issue on the theme of ‘Fate and Free Will.’

Is human life completely predetermined? Do we have any free will? This debate has been going on from the very beginning of human thought and spirituality. What is the nature of fate and free will? Is our destiny written irreversibly in concrete by fate? How is the Law of Karma related to fate and free will? Can we create our own reality and destiny freely? Are fate and free will irreconcilable aspects of life or complementary dimensions of the One Ultimate Reality? The special issue addresses such questions from various perspectives with the aim of helping the readers arrive at their own conclusions.

This issue has articles by Anne Kaspar, Ellaeenah, Divyaa Kummar, Melissa Simonson, Sarah Ince, Rose Rosetree and Prabhath P. There are also two poems by Amy Ramdass.
