When the Friends of the Meditation Room agreed to raise $15,000 to pay for the redecoration of the room, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. gave $5,000 of the amount soughtâ¦Dag Hammarskjöld personally raised another $10,000 from the Marshall Field family for the cost of the fresco in the Room âThe material of the stone leads our thoughts to the necessity for choice between destruction and peace. Of iron man has forged his swords, of iron he has also made his ploughsharesâ¦
âThe shaft of light strikes the stone in a room of utter simplicityâ¦When our eyes travel from these symbols to the front wall, they meet a simple pattern opening up the room to the harmony, freedom and balance of space.
âThere is an ancient [Chinese] saying that the sense of a vessel is not in its shell but in the void. So it is with this room. It is for those who come here to fill the void with what they find in their center of stillness.â
The World Goodwill Bulletin is published by Lucis Press, Ltd. (owned by Lucis Trust) at 88 Edgeware Rd., Marble Arch, London W-2, England. The New York branch, The Lucis Publishing Company (11 W. 42nd St., 32nd floor), issues materials on its Arcane School, three-member Triangles, and World Service Fund, and publishes the Beacon Magazine. This company[, ladies and gentlemen,] was originally established as the Lucifer Publishing Co., but changed its name on November [the 11th], 1924, to the less startling one it bears today. A third branch of the Lucis Trust is located at 1 Rue de Varembe (3E), Geneva, Switzerland. Alice A. Bailey, the now deceased High Priestess of the occult Arcane School, established and headed the Trust and its self-identified society of Illumined Minds. This powerful group has intimate connections with the United Nations https://viefag.wordpress.com/2012/03/12/mystery-babylon-bill-cooper-hour-31-united-nations-meditation-room/
