Elizabeth Medler has been a student of the perennial wisdom since her late teens when she was introduced to the Fintry Trust and its inner heart, The Universal Order, which offers a systematic training inspired by the Universal Ideals of Truth, Goodness, Beauty and Unity. Today Elizabeth works as a freelance Editor and has edited a number of books for both a London publisher and private commissions. For many years Elizabeth managed a small educational charity, dedicated to Right Thinking, in Bosham, West Sussex. She was Editor of its magazine, New Vision (formerly The Science of Thought Review), which was published continuously since 1921. She also organised an all-year-round programme of events and courses. Earlier in her life Elizabeth worked in London and Devon as a paralegal on two large national cases in the fields of litigation and medical negligence.
