Dr. Bruce Scofield shares his new book, The Nature of Astrology: History, Philosophy, and the Science of Self-Organizing Systems.

An in-depth examination of how astrology is a form of systems science

Exploring how astrology is not only a practice but also a science, Bruce Scofield shares modern biological studies offering evidence that our solar system neighbors profoundly affect and shape life on our planet. He looks at the history, philosophy, and methodologies of astrology and its potential future applications in medicine and the social sciences.

Our ancient ancestors recorded the rhythms of the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars, correlating these rhythms with the weather, plant growth, and animal and human behaviors. From these early geocosmic recordings were born calendars, astronomy, and astrology. While astrology is now mostly viewed as subjective fortune-telling, Bruce Scofield argues that astrology is not only a practice but also a science, precisely a form of systems science--a set of techniques for mapping and analyzing self-organizing systems.

Providing clear evidence that our solar system neighbors profoundly affect and shape life on our planet, Scofield shares modern biological and climatological studies on the effects of Earth's rotation, the Sun, the Moon, and the rhythms of light, gravity, magnetism, and solar radiation on terrestrial processes. Next, he explores the early practice of astrometeorology, a method of weather forecasting used from ancient times into the Renaissance, revealing the links between the solar system, weather, and climate over large spans of time. Finally, he shares his studies on the correlations between Saturn's position and terrestrial weather, as well as presenting a wealth of evidence on astrological effects and the theories and mechanics behind them.

Crystal and gemstone expert Margaret Ann Lembo discusses her latest oracle deck, Essential Oils and Gemstone Guardian Cards.

Essential oils and gemstones work energetically to rebalance us spiritually, mentally, and emotionally and offer many psychological benefits.

A deck to help you amplify your intentions with aromatherapy oils and vibrationally matching crystals

Bringing aromatherapy into partnership with crystals, this deck presents a hands-on way to engage with the mineral and plant kingdoms. Specifically created to help you establish clear intentions, the 42 two-sided cards of this full-color deck each show an essential oil and an energetically-matching crystal, offering guidance and positive affirmations for your life.

The accompanying booklet provides, for each essential oil, the botanical name, fragrance profile, chemical components, therapeutic properties, safety precautions, and how the gemstone relates to the use of the essential oil. As author Margaret Ann Lembo explains, an essential oil's energetic value, or vibration, is stabilized by the devic forces associated with the mother plant, flower, root, or bark. The energetic vibration of a gemstone holds records and goals to help you focus on the reality you wish to create. You design your existence, and the cards in this deck will help you focus on your intentions and ignite transformation in your life.

Designed to spark your courage, innate knowledge, and abilities, this deck and guidebook set helps empower you to step forward confidently and realize your unlimited potential.

Dr. Jude Carrivan discusses her latest book, The Story of Gaia: The Big Breath and the Evolutionary Journey of Our Conscious Planet.

Explores how the Universe, our planet, ourselves, and everything in existence has inherent meaning and evolutionary purpose. We are an integral part of Gaia's evolution.

Exploring our emergence as self-aware members of a planetary home and entire Universe that is a unified and innately sentient entity, Jude Currivan, Ph.D., shares leading-edge scientific breakthroughs and shows how they support traditional visions of Earth as a living being: Gaia. She also explores the intelligently informed harmonic interplays of evolution.

Exploring our emergence as self-aware members of a planetary home and entire Universe that is a unified and innately sentient entity, Jude Currivan, Ph.D., shows that mind and consciousness are not what we possess but what we and the whole world fundamentally are. She reveals our Universe as "a great thought of cosmic mind," manifesting as a cosmic hologram of meaningful in-formation that, vitally, exists to evolve.

Sharing scientific breakthroughs, the author details the 13.8 billion-year story of our Universe and Gaia, where everything in existence has inherent meaning and evolutionary purpose. Showing how the Universe was born, not in an implicitly chaotic big bang, but as the first moment of a fine-tuned and ongoing "big breath," she shares the latest evidence for the innate sentience that has guided our universal journey from simplicity to ever-greater complexity, diversity, and self-awareness--from protons to planets, plants, and people. She explains how evolution is not driven by random occurrences and mutations but by profoundly resonant and harmonic interplays of forces and influences, each intelligently informed and guided.

We talk about

The big bang did not form Earth. it was a big breath

Sol, Luna, and Gaia are a triple relationship

The cosmic breakthrough coming at the end of the year

Planetary families

The Soular system

The illusion of separation is dissolving

Diversity is coming to the forefront as the way to live

the 11 million Gaia-sized planets orbiting their central sun

IDr, Jude Carrivan explains, in Gaia, the Universe’s evolutionary impulse is embodied in collaborative relationships and dynamic co-evolutionary partnerships on a planetary scale and as a wholistic gaiasphere. She reveals how the conscious evolution of humanity is an integral part of Gaia’s evolutionary progress and purpose. By perceiving and experiencing our planet as a sentient being and ourselves as Gaians, we open ourselves to a deeply ecological, evolutionary, and, above all, hopeful worldview.

Jude Currivan, Ph.D., is a cosmologist, futurist, planetary healer, author, member of the Evolutionary Leaders Circle, and previously a senior international businesswoman. She has a master’s degree in physics from Oxford University, specializing in quantum physics and cosmology, and a doctorate in archaeology researching ancient cosmologies. She has traveled to over 80 countries, worked with wisdom keepers from many traditions, and is a lifelong researcher into the nature of reality. She is the author of 7 books, latterly the award-winning and best-selling The Cosmic Hologram (2017) and The Story of Gaia (2022), and is co-founder of WholeWorld-View.

Reiki Master Teacher Michele Denis shares how to heal using Reiki, Marma Points, and Portals.

Reiki is an ancient healing system brought to the West in 1937 by Mrs. Hwayo Takata, a Japanese emigrant. Takata continued to practice and teach Reiki until her passing in 1980. As a result, traditional Reiki has evolved over the years with numerous variants available today.

As a system of healing, the energy comes from the universe - The Reiki Ray, into the therapist's hands and flows to the client. The wonderful thing about Reiki is the energy is intuitive and flows to where it is needed.

Through her work of over 25 years, Michele discovered the link between Marma Points and Reiki. Marma Points are specific places on one's body where one uses pressure ( similar to acupressure) to heal a particular body area. Marma Points are an integral part of Ayurvedic medicine.

In this podcast, Michele Denis shares how to relieve aches and pains using Marma Points.

We also talk about portals here on earth. Portals are points on land where there is an open the door to the cosmos. Working to heal the earth's energy is paramount right now to restore the earth's energy and human energy. Michele talks about working with earth energies and the portals with the assistance of interdimensional and interplanetary beings.

Combining Reiki, Marma Points, and Portals, we are incorporating the trilogy concept for optimal healing. Yes, they can be used independently, and one does not have to be initiated in Reiki to work with Marma points or portals. Michele Denis used an excellent book for part of her training Ayurveda and Marma Therapy: Energy Points in Yogic Healing, by Dr. David Frawley.

Michèle E. Denis is passionate about uncovering ways we each engage with our Transcendent Selves. The Paths of Reiki, Meditation, and Yoga have been her route to personal discovery, growth, and healing. As a Life Coach, Michèle weaves together the principles of coaching and these practices to steady nervous systems and still minds and create an environment where one can listen deeply and connect with their True Self.

One of Michèle's great joys is the time she gets to spend at Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, New York, where she has been a Core Meditation Faculty member since 2005 and a regular presenter at their Wisdom of Reiki Conferences.

When not out teaching, Michèle can be found in her garden with her husband, Fred, and their dog Molly, on the island of Snunéymuxw, in the Salish Sea.

Marlene Seven Bremner's book Hermetic Philosophy and Creative Alchemy: The Emerald Tablet, The Corpus Hermeticum, and the Journey Through The Seven Spheres is the perfect book to read in 2023.

Drawing on ancient Egyptian and Greek cosmogonies and essential Hermetic texts, such as the Corpus Hermeticum, the Emerald Tablet (Tabula Smaragdina), and the Nag Hammadi codices, Marlene Seven Bremner offers a detailed understanding of Hermetic philosophy and the art of alchemy as a foundation for a psycho-spiritual creative practice. Offering examples from traditional alchemical art and her intricate esoteric paintings, Bremner examines the foundational principles of Hermeticism and alchemy and shows how these traditions are a direct means for accessing higher consciousness and true self-knowledge, or gnosis, as well as a way to extract the essence of one's creative gifts.

Bremner takes the reader on a Hermetic journey through each of the seven traditional planets--Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, the Sun, Venus, Mercury, and the Moon--exploring their mythological, philosophical, alchemical, Qabalistic, magical, astrological, and energetic natures and offering meditative discourses that reach past the rational mind to speak directly to the intuitive soul. She relates the seven planets to the esoteric anatomy of the human body, specifically the seven chakras, and shows how the planets can offer understanding and experience of archetypal energies and patterns in the body, in one's life, and the creative process.

In A Journey to The Afterlife: Now you know what will happen, Stephen Chong, M.Ed., shares messages received beyond the veil about the concept of death.

Included below is chapter 8, reprinted with permission

The book is a guide to the hereafter and what awaits us after we die – all based on our actions in this life and their consequences, according to the Laws of Heaven & Earth.

Through the eyes of the main character, Athar, I (the writer) was taken to many levels in heaven's realm. It was akin to a 'scenic-railway tour' of the afterlife, where one can experience heaven's many 'levels' and 'houses' BEFORE you get there.

A beautifully written novel replete with spiritual knowledge shared by "Athar" provides a concise understanding of what happens in the afterlife. It will expand your consciousness to ask questions and to question your current BS ( belief system) regarding the afterlife.

Chong is not describing a Near- Death-Experience, which is an accurate description of limited perspective by those who have had an experience. ‘The Afterlife’ is written through the medium of the story – this is a great enabler. It enables the reader to experience the revelation of their truth at a metaphysical or mystical level. It is for the reader to determine as truth, folly, or fiction because it is theirexperience.

With ‘The Afterlife,’ Chong is not trying to convince anybody of my beliefs. He merely makes an offering of its potential. To direct those with ‘ears that hear and open hearts’ to find answers. The reader will deeply experience their truth.

The Afterlife, a journey toExcerpt from Chapter 8 – The Planning

We passed a room, much like a library or classroom, where many students were under instruction from a master amidst a lesson of learning. Then, yet another large room containing many couches, similar to those previously described, held safe and secured many little souls in repose. It could be seenthat many advanced beings were in close attendance to care for each sleeping form. I could barely contain my wonder as a myriad of questions tumbled to the fore and sought answers each before the other.“Come,” said Atticus, before I could find a proper voice. “There is someone I would like you to meet.”Moving further into the building’s hallways, awaiting our attendance, was the most beautiful being I believe I had ever encountered. Atticus, it is good to see you, my old friend. I have heard much of thedominion of your love and good works.” Her dulcet voice resonated in sweet cascade, then stopped as she cast her welcoming gaze upon me. It was as if I was showered in love by raindrops from the well of heaven. I did well to hold to my proper sensibilities but could find no words in proper greeting.

“I see that you have brought an eager student to our doors. Welcome …” she said as I clasped her outstretched hand in my own, feeling tingling through my being that I could not even now explain. “My name is Evangeline.”“Athar is an eager student of the divine, Evangeline, and has evoked a willingness to heal those in need and suffering. But first, I have brought him to your door to show the love and compassion that you minister to the children of heaven.”“I am most glad of your kindness, dear Atticus. And to you, Athar, I am at your service to explain how we minister to God’s chosen innocents. Come, let us walk through the halls and I will speak with you of our Father’s works.”At Evangeline’s behest, we took a turn down a hallway, one of the many, and stopped at a large hall of study. It was a room filled with many tomes, not dissimilar to the great library of my previous visitations. The room was full of many eager young learners fixed in attention upon the master, amidst instruction at the front of the room. “All children who have left the earth-plane in the early stages will continue their education and wellbeing. All shall receive proper instruction to the ways of heaven. No child shall be left behind in their education of the divine laws of heaven and earth. They are all, without exception, given the knowledge required to progress through the stages of the divine.” “But what of a parent’s responsibility in such regard? Does not the bond between parent and child continue to blossom and hold fast to love and attachment?”

“Indeed, it does, Athar. The bond of love between a parent and child will extend across the eternal if only it is strong and true. No bond of love is ever broken. It is the cord that seeks to sustain one and the other across the vast expanse of our Father’s heaven. Yet, if no such bond exists, if the strains of earthly relationships have soured such fulfilment, then, as you see, no child will suffer for its absence. Their well will be replenished by many loving hands so that the child knows not any privation.” I stood in awe perhaps a while longer than supposed – until Evangeline broke the spell of my fixation. “Come,” she said gently, “there is more for you to see.”

We were led further along numerous hallways, each resplendent in fine décor and colourful design, until we arrived at another chamber that, even as we approached, seemed to resonate with a chorale of beautiful voices in quiet chant. The atmosphere held a faint tint of blue colouration which radiatedthrough a window portal in the ceiling. It seemed to fill the very air with an elixir of life that held the potential for all love to flourish. Inside the room, as we entered, I could not help but notice the glowof the number of souls in attendance to the many children. Each of their robes seemed to be alive with a radiance not before seen to my eyes, and their attention to the little babes under their care was evident to behold. Many young fledgelings lay in repose in the soft down of the vessel holding their comfort.

“Each child is a teardrop from the eyes of our Father, dear Athar. Each child is nurtured until they reach the fullness of their spirit. Their attainment of the prime of life is by no means hindered by their early passing to this heavenly realm. Our Father’s love shines brightly upon each soul until it is of an evolvement to determine its future progress in the spirit of the divine.” As she spoke, without warning and of its own volition, my mind strayed to the many challenges and hurdles of my upbringing, and I could barely hold fast to my currency and to the love to which I now bore witness. Within but a beat, Evangeline seemed to know my thoughts in revelation. “Your road has been difficult, dear Athar. This is known to us of the higher realms. Yet, know that the cross of your harsh learning is now akin tothe alchemists’ cauldron. What was before leaden, is now turning to the gold of joy and celebration to the task laying before you.” I couldn’t help myself. I could no longer stand on any further ceremony. The joy in my heart was full to overflowing, and I reached out my hands to hers and fell to my knees as tears tumbled in heavy droplets upon my shimmering chemise. “You are most welcome, my dearest, Athar,” she said helping me to rise. “But know that what I am – like these children – is what you too willbecome. And more so will it be.” Smiling upon these words, Evangeline took gracious leave and left mein awe, but with a heart replete. Alone in Atticus’ company once more, as we made our way outside to the lush garden we stopped suddenly. I could not help but turn as we exited to see Evangeline standing by an open portal, to wave us good cheer in depart. My heart burst open again and I could not restrain another flood of tears that cascaded as before. It was as if a century of my harsh life had dissolved in a moment in the presence of such grace as I had just witnessed. Atticus did not say anything. He did not have to.
