The Inner Planets: Building Blocks of Personal Reality


Liz Greene - 1993
    In this fourth volume in the Seminars in Psychological Astrology series, Liz Greene and Howard Sasportas discuss the value of the inner planets as they symbolize important aspects of personality. We are not trained to give value to our private needs, feelings, and qualities. Indeed, because of their intensely personal nature, they are often suppressed or overlooked as irrelevant to society. Likewise, the inner planets have tended to be given less attention by psychological astrologersfor they are the personal planets. The authors show us that in order to give the most that we can to our interactions with the rest of the world, we must first understand our own needs and have a healthy ego a personal authenticity. Their book teaches us the process of understanding how these three planets actually represent our individuality, and how they directly color the energy of the rest of our horoscope. Greene and Sasportas blend the processes of astrology and psychology in a unique and important way in this indepth insight into the archetypes represented by the inner planets.

Sue Tompkins - 1993
    • Contains comprehensive sections full of interpretations for every planetary combination. • Concepts are explained through the use of actual birth charts and diagrams. • A core textbook at the Faculty of Astrological Studies in London.Aspects are an essential piece of the astrological puzzle when it comes to interpreting and using the information that astrology can give us.

Aspects describe the drama of our lives--the complex configurations that influence what will happen to us over time. Sue Tompkins, a fellow of the Faculty of Astrological Studies in London, shows how to interpret aspects when doing daily astrological readings. She uses the lives of real people to plot the aspects and offers examples of every possible planetary combination. Detailing the influence of oppositions, trines and elemental trines, and cardinal, mutable, and fixed crosses, Tompkins shows how aspects provide the energy in the chart that transforms the horoscope into something symbolizing an alive and vital human being. With Aspects in Astrology, Tompkins provides both the novice and the experienced astrologer the evidence and concrete methods needed to grasp the vast knowledge offered to us by our horoscope.

Soul Remembers Hiroshima


Dolores Cannon - 1993
    The memories were triggered in the following settings. On an ordinary day as she walked into her living room, a program was playing on the television where survivors of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima were being interviewed. There were no scenes of the bombing, simply the interviewer discussing the event with the guests. As she viewed the images of the survivors describing their experiences, without explanation, she suddenly began experienced scenes flashing through her mind of the actual bombing as it occurred in real time. As well as experiencing visual images of the event, additional senses were stimulated as she could also hear the screams of people and feel the deep pain of the experience. Intuitively, she knew she had been present when the event occurred. In the days and weeks that followed after watching the program, the horrific scenes of the explosion itself and the resulting aftermath continued to persistently flood her mind. She was able to push them to the back of her mind for a brief period of time so she could function in everyday life, however, this became too exhausting a process which provided no explanation to what was happening to her or why. At this point, she contacted Dolores and she sought her help via a session. This book is the story of how Dolores carefully traced these experiences back to her life as a Japanese man named Nogorigatu living in Hiroshima during WWII. It tells the story of what the Japanese people experienced during the war and is a side of history that has neither been fully explored nor written about. At the time, it was Dolores most challenging case because she was unsure of how the young lady would react to reliving dying in an atomic explosion. It had to be handled with extreme care. The resulting story cries out to our time, "Do not let this horror happen again!"

Zoroaster: Life and Work of the Forerunner in Iran


Stiftung Gralsbotschaft - 1993
    Likewise, his example exerted a profound influence upon Plato, Aristotle, and the development of Judeo-Christian thought. Although some of these teachings have been preserved in the sacred scripture known as the Avesta, almost nothing is known about Zoroaster the man. "Zoroaster: Life and Work of the Forerunner in Iran" is the first general-audience biography of the great Persian sage. This compelling and readable story shows how, through connecting completely with the guidance offered him by Divine Grace, the young boy Saadi matures steadily until he realizes his task and his true identity. As the long-awaited herald, Zoroaster, it was his purpose to unite the people of Persia into a belief of one God, Ahuramazda, and to announce the coming of the Son of Man, the Soashyant, who would lead this world into and through the Last Judgement. Before his arrival, the land of Persia was consumed by natural disasters that destroyed most of the people and almost all of their structures. A new society had to be built literally from the ground up, this time based upon God's Laws, rather than man's. As we today are facing a new millennium, as natural disasters threaten our very existence, "Zoroaster: Life and Work of the Forerunner in Iran" is a book of particular relevance.

The Everyday Meditator


Osho - 1993
    But not any more. With the publication of this book the East comes to the West in a lucidly adapted form, fully color illustrated and filled with a soft-seriousness of meditation techniques adapted over thousands of years. Meditation is still a relative stranger to the West in its true essence. We still tend to "think" of it as some sort of contemplation. But true meditation is "not-thinking" and not thinking is an unfamiliar state to the Westerner. Instead of meditating one hour a day, with this book we can learn to be in a constant state of meditation and sample results which are quite beyond expectations.
