Claude-Generated Themes:   The Star was the international magazine of the Order of the Star (formerly the Order of the Star in the East), the movement built around J. Krishnamurti during his years as the Theosophists' anticipated 'World Teacher.' Published simultaneously across some twenty countries and fourteen languages, the 1928–29 numbers carry Krishnamurti alongside Lady Emily Lutyens, E. A. Wodehouse, Clarence Darrow, and Claude Bragdon, and turn increasingly on his signature theme — that truth is found by looking within rather than through any organization or authority. Its vocabulary of karma, brotherhood, and initiation marks the Theosophical soil from which it grew, but its subject is Krishnamurti's own emerging teaching, sampled here in the very months before he dissolved the Order in August 1929. Panel hits for 'spirit-control' are in fact his language of self-control and inner authority. It sits with the Herald of the Star and the Star bulletins as a core Order-of-the-Star serial.
