This evening will be a brief astrological review of 2015 with focus on what is before us from an astrological perspective with renowned astrologer Monty Taylor, Jungian-Style Astrologer and Mythologist.

One of the areas of focus in this evening’s show is about the transformation of the structure of our money supply, the very structure of the currency system itself, with which we are so accustomed.  With the upcoming influences mapped according to the ancient science and art of astrology, 2016 offers some pretty profound opportunities for transforming structures–and ourselves as well.

Called “the Joseph Campbell of Astrology,” Monty shares his insights and wisdom of astrological energies and their mythologies to steer us toward awareness and alignment with our true paths.

Using the statistical cycles of time in a meaningful and practical way, he helps us better understand the normal stages of personal and collective evolution of our relationships, finances, career goals, and self-understanding.

Monty maintains an extensive private practice as an astrologer in Manhattan. His clients include individuals, corporations, and celebrities in the fields of international performing arts, financial management, and complementary and traditional medicine.

Monty has been a guest on A Better World Radio numerous times as well as A Better World TV.

This evening will be a Round Table discussing Time Cycles.  We have just passed the Winter Solstice and heading toward 2016.  But time cycles last from billions of years to nano-seconds in duration.  There has been fascinating research which confirms time cycle’s effects on the Earth, human consciousness and health.  Knowing more about these cycles gives us considerable leverage with each of these, which is why the subject is so interesting and so important.

Dave Katzmire has been on A Better World Radio & TV numerous times and is a major friend and advocate of A Better World from its beginning.  Through diligent research,Katzmire has become a self-styled scholar of history in light of both major and minor time cycles that he was able to identify.

Dave said: "The vision of KalaRhythms came to me in an instant as I was captivated to embrace the concept of oneness. Such oneness may be succinctly described with the axiom that, everything is in anything. That all things must change, and for every time there is a season, tells us that the Dance of Shiva is realized in many ways.*

*Note:  Research scientist from New Zealand, Ray Tomes was initially going to join us but due to technical difficulties, wasn't able to join us.  But will in a future show.

Mitchell’s guest this evening is meditation teacher, entrepreneur and author of The Money Anxiety Cure, Koorosh Ostowari.  People’s relationship to money is one of the pivotal issues of our time today.  Getting clear about and even joyful in respect to it is the subject of today’s show.

As a first generation Iranian, Koorosh saw his single mother overcome great financial and cultural obstacles to provide her family with the American Dream when they arrived from Iran without much English and without much money. Following in her footsteps, Koorosh retired early from a successful 25-year career in real estate, then successfully bridged the gap between spiritual and material worlds by becoming trained as a Spirit Rock Meditation Center Dharma Leader and certified somatic therapist.

Koorosh was recently honored with the 2015 Certificate of Special Recognition by the U.S. Congress, and a Certificate of Recognition by the California State Legislature in part for his public service work within the Northern California prison system, as well as for his work with the public sector, helping clients and students cultivate mindfulness, alleviate anxiety and achieve work/life balance and financial well being.

Swami Beyondananda is the cosmic comic alter ego of writer, humorist, performer and uncommontator Steve Bhaerman. The Swami, whose favorite yoga pose is tongue-in-cheek, is the spokesperson for a new non-religion, FUNdamentalism (accent on “fun”). Says the Swami, “We are strictly non-dominational.”

Steve was pursuing a career as a teacher and writer, when a funny thing happened. The name “Swami Beyondananda” flew into his head on day in 1979. As Steve tells it, “I got struck by enlightening during a brainstorm.”  

Swamiji, aka Steve Bhaerman, was also on A Better World Rado

This evening’s show looks closely at society’s collapsing institutions and infra-structure, against a backdrop of eco-systemic collapse, extreme weather, massive pollution and Climate Change and how we humans navigate and are to emotionally deal with, adapt to this severe situation of life as we know it changing dramatically before our very eyes.  Can we adapt cooperatively and evolve collectively?  Can we use this profoundly challenging situation as an opportunity to grow?

To discuss this, Mitchell’s guest this evening is Carolyn Baker, Ph.D. who has written and worked with these issues with her students and clients for years.  Carolyn was an adjunct professor of history and psychology for 11 years and a psychotherapist in private practice for 17 years.
