This journal was the attempt of Wayne Hannibal Taylor (1903-1991) to combine his lifelong interest in New Thought and New Age ideas and revelations with his desire to form a utopian community on the Mexican border of New Mexico. His mother had been a Theosophist and as early as the 1920s he had been an ardent student of New Thought. In the late 1950s or early 1960s while living in Melbourne, Florida, he had joined Sologa, Inc., an I AM/Ascended Masters group founded by Ruth Scoles Lenox (1895-1965), and helped edited and publish her journal, Solograph (q.v.) while at the same time publishing The Mentor, the organ of the Sanctuary of the Masters' Presence, Inc. in New York City. This was put out by Mildred Myneta Taylor Boos ("Mary Myneta," 1903-1983) who was the messenger and "Percipient" for the New York Sanctuary and had been a founding member and cornerstone of Geraldine Innocente's Bridge to Freedom Activity and regular contributor to Ruby Focus and the Father's House. See the note under Bridge to Freedom. When Lenox died in 1965 Taylor became head of Sologa and his wife Grace became the channel for communications from the Ascended Masters. In 1965 he published Pillars of Light: "Are you still searching? Unorthodox? An idealist with an unknown mission? You may be one of the many Lightbearers who are here at this particular time to serve mankind to prepare for the Aquarian Age. If so, there is important information for you." In 1968 they moved to Columbus, New Mexico, and bought 179 acres of empty desert to start Christ's Truth Church and School of Wisdom and to develop the City of the Sun to gather and prepare searchers for their role in welcoming the coming Golden Age. Their advertisements in Chimes sought members for the "New Age Community now developing where cooperative living and brotherly love is a way of life. Highest standards. Teachings by the Masters. Write Rev W. H. Taylor, Columbus, New Mexico." This proved a difficult task and before the first potential Lightbearers arrived in 1972, Grace had died and Taylor was alone in the waste.

In the first issues of this journal, he laid out his plans for a City Beautiful of collective housing in the adobe Pueblo Revival style, but over the years the community became more of a hippie commune with strong New Age elements. The journal contained the usual communications from Master El Morya, Elihu, Korton, Ban-Dhu, Lady Vancia from the Sixth Ray Consciousness, and others, and exhortations from the Space Brothers from their Space Ships hovering above the earth, like Space Master Matton: "Large mother ships are available for removing millions of our people almost immediately in case a major holocaust takes place. They will be taken to places of safety on this or other planets, and returned when the earth is again inhabitable and safe." The journal also included excerpts from Bridge to Freedom and from a variety of "Light Groups" like the Ashtar Command that was awaiting the "evacuation" of mankind to space, and regular contributions by "Illiana of New Age Teachings" (Anita Afton) who also wrote for the Father's House.
