Star Rhythms

Author: William Lonsdale
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780938190004
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 180

Book Description
The new astrology finds its origin in three sources. The first is classical Astrology, here expressed by its finest contemporary voice, Dane Rudhyar, in previously unavailable articles on progressed life cycles. The second, Astrosophy, is represented by several authors, including its pioneer, Willi Sucher; it taps the cosmic sources of all astrologies. The third, suggested here by William Lonsdale’s studies of planetary aspects and asteroids, is an inward attunement to the star script and our own place in the stars. Astrology moves in the depths of the unknown cosmos, always in touch with fundamental correspondences of creation. Any given astrology forms itself from an image of this timeless movement.

The Writing in the Stars

Author: Rodney Williamson
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 0802090842
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 185

Book Description
Born in Mexico City in 1914, writer, poet, and diplomat Octavio Paz won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1990, eight years before his death in 1998. The Writing in the Stars explores Paz's life and ideas by establishing a dialogue between the structure and recurring images of his major poems and the ideas of Carl Jung. Although other literary critics have pointed to Jungian concepts in Paz, a comprehensive study on the subject has yet to be undertaken. Rodney Williamson takes up this challenge, adopting a Jungian perspective to explore successive phases of Paz's poetry. Williamson illustrates how archetypal images infuse Paz's early poetry and his surrealist period and shows how the circular structure of Paz's longer poems, such as 'Piedra de sol' and 'Blanco,' are based on the Eastern sacred circle or mandala, a major archetype of psychic wholeness in Jung. He argues that a grasp of the psychological importance of Jung's archetypes is essential to understanding the various syntheses of creative truth and existence sought by Paz at different defining moments of his career as a poet. The Writing in the Stars will prove fascinating to anyone interested in Latin-American literature, Jungian psychology, or critical theory.

Signature of the Celestial Spheres

Author: Hartmut Warm
Publisher: Rudolf Steiner Press
ISBN: 1855842351
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 416

Book Description
Is the solar system ordered? Or is it simply the result of random and chaotic accidents? This book takes the reader on a compelling and powerful journey of discovery, revealing the celestial spheres in their astonishingly complex patterns. Movements of the planets are found to correspond accurately with simple geometric figures and musical intervals, pointing to an exciting new perspective on the ancient idea of the "harmony of the spheres." Hartmut Warm's detailed presentation incorporates the distances, velocities, and periods of conjunction of the planets, as well as the rotations of the Sun, Moon, and Venus. Numerous graphics--including color plates--illustrate the extraordinary beauty of geometrical forms that result when the movements of several planets are viewed in relation to one another. Moreover, the author describes and analyzes concepts of the "music of the spheres," with special emphasis on Kepler's revolutionary ideas. The book also discusses current scientific beliefs about the origin of the universe and the solar system, enabling the reader to understand fully how this remarkable research supplements contemporary materialistic views of the cosmos. The appendix includes his mathematical and astronomical methods of calculation, as well as a detailed discussion of their accuracy and validity based on modern astronomical algorithms.
