Issue 3 of THE SYNTHESIST
Journal of Psychosynthesis
PS Avalon,
Summer 2007
available for free download now
A special poetry edition of The Synthesist,
poetry rich with soulful highs and equally soulful lows, poetry that more
than touches the heart but which also brings us into closer relationship
with heart, the heart that we all share, where we all experience our courage
and our compassion, our joy and our pain.
This on-line journal is free to download as a pdf file (see right margin
note if you do not understand this.)
Download
issue 3 of The Synthesist online journal
The Synthesist pdf file is a large download, simple if you have broadband/adsl
access, but inevitably it is going to take a while if you are using a dial-up
modem. Keep in mind, though, that it is a large full colour journal not available
anywhere else, with 180 pages of contents. We think it is well worth the time
it will take you to download it, and trust you will too.
When you click on Download issue 2 of The Synthesist journal, the
download manager (if using Explorer, or a similar utility with
other browsers) should open and start downloading the lengthy pdf file ...
You cannot read it until the whole file is downloaded, which with broadband
should take at most a couple of minutes, with a dial up connection maybe
up to an hour or so! (You should be able to download it in the background
whilst doing other things with your computer.)
Once the whole journal is downloaded, then you can of course pick and choose,
including whether to read it all on screen, choose individual articles or
the whole journal to print out if desired, etc.If you have the time, you
will find the Synthesist will print out rather beautifully on a typical
colour printer and will make a unique addition to any library.
