Law of Positivism

Andrew Collins is a science and history writer who investigates advanced civilizations in prehistory. He is the co-discoverer of a massive cave complex beneath the Giza plateau, now known as “Collins’ Cave.” The author of several books, including Origins of the Gods and Göbekli Tepe: Genesis of the Gods, he regularly appears on radio shows, podcasts, and TV series, including Ancient Aliens, The UnXplained with William Shatner, and Lost Worlds. He lives in Essex, England.

Karahan Tepe is arguably the most exciting archaeological discovery of the twenty-first century. Consisting of a series of stone enclosures and rock-cut edifices carved out of a hillside in the remote Tektek Mountains of southeastern Turkey, it is changing everything we know about the emergence of civilization in the immediate aftermath of the last ice age.

Chronicling his explorations of Karahan Tepe, Andrew Collins presents the first in-depth investigation of the discoveries at the site: who built it, its astronomical alignments, and its cosmological connections. He examines the intricate carvings and architectural features, including a newly discovered statue of a giant human figure. Explaining how the site functioned as a shamanic oracle center, Collins shows how its rock-cut structures were used to connect with the Milky Way’s Galactic Bulge and stars of Scorpius in their role as the head and active spirit of a perceived cosmic serpent. He traces this serpent motif throughout history, identifying it with the biblical serpent of Eden, the kundalini of Vedic tradition, and the black snake of the Yezidis. He demonstrates how the belief in the existence of the Milky Way serpent among the inhabitants of Karahan Tepe went on to influence the foundation of the Gnostic Ophite mysteries suppressed by the Christian Church. He also shows how the founders of Karahan Tepe were recalled in Hebrew myth and legend as the Watchers and Nephilim and in Sumerian and Babylonian mythology as the Anunnaki.

His book on Karahan Tepe is in-depth investigation of the ancient structures at Karahan Tepe, its builders, and its cosmic shamanic purpose – now both available in English and Turkish: https://www.andrewcollins.com/page/books/index.htm

We are so glad to announce the launch of our upcoming community membership, The Light Village, starting 30 July! The Light Village is co-created by Shereen Öberg and Diana Westly and it is a compassionate, collaborative, and co-creative community for soul workers, healing practitioners, spiritual teachers, heart-centered creators, and weavers of light.

Are You Longing for Genuine Support in Your Soul Work?

The Light Village is a sacred community for healing practitioners, lightworkers, spiritual teachers, and soul creators who are seeking meaningful connection, encouragement, and practical support as they launch and grow their soul-led businesses. Through monthly live gatherings, conscious business guidance, and a heart-centered community, you’ll receive the inspiration, visibility, support, and collaborative opportunities you need to build and expand a sustainable practice and share your gifts with the world.

A Community Created By Lightworkers For Lightworkers

For many lightworkers, the journey from soul calling to aligned career can feel long and lonely. More often than not, we’re required to launch our own practices, start our own businesses, build our own followings, and figure everything out as we go since salaried jobs in our unique niches run the spectrum from rare to nonexistent.

We have no managers to mentor us, no colleagues to collaborate with, and no corporate benefits to carry us through major life transitions. And yet, once we’ve received the call and found "the work" that lights up the world and fuels our souls, it’s heartbreaking to turn away from it.

In this episode of the Law of Positivism podcast, soul-centered astrologer and guest podcaster Diana Westly speaks with her teacher, Steven Forrest, to explore the Moon's meaningful role in evolutionary astrology, along with its destiny-charged North & South Nodes.

Steven Forrest a trailblazing evolutionary astrologer and prolific author of astrological bestsellers, including: The Inner Sky, Yesterday’s Sky, and The Book of the Moon. His work has been translated broadly and he has traveled world-wide teaching his brand of choice-centered evolutionary astrology, which integrates free will, grounded humanistic psychology and ancient metaphysics. He is an award-winning astrological educator, who has mentored over two thousand budding astrologers, and now runs a wonderful online school - The Forrest Center for Evolutionary Astrology (www.forrestastrology.center) - that takes students from ground zero to astrological mastery over the course of a four-year program. To stay grounded, Steven still does several private astrological consultations each week. And to feed his soul, he lives in the desert of southern California near the Mexican border with his partner, artist Michelle Kondos, and two spoiled cats.

Here are some of the topics covered in this moving episode:

• The Moon as a window into our souls

• The difference between Moon "signs" and the houses" and how to integrate the two

• How the Moon is making a "comeback" in our collective consciousness and why this is so necessary for our healing and happiness as a global community

• The North & South Nodes of the Moon, and what they tell us about our karmic conditioning and greatest growth opportunities in this lifetime

• How we can work with the Moon and its nodal axis to better understand, nurture, and support ourselves and our loved ones

• An introduction to Steven's new celestial music project: Ten Planets, Ten Songs

• And more!

Mirabai Starr is an award-winning author, internationally acclaimed speaker, and interspiritual teacher. She gives talks, retreats and workshops on the teachings of the mystics, the wisdom of the feminine, and contemplative practice, rooted in the transformational power of grief and loss. As a teenager, Mirabai lived at the Lama Foundation, an intentional spiritual community that has honored all the world’s faith traditions since its inception in 1967, and the place where Ram Dass’ iconic book, Be Here Now, was born. This ecumenical orientation became formative in the universal quality that permeates Mirabai’s work. 

She was an adjunct professor of Philosophy and World Religions at the University of New Mexico-Taos for 20 years. Her emphasis has always been on making connections between the perennial teachings found at the heart of all the world’s spiritual paths, in an effort to promote peace and justice. Mirabai lives in the mountains of New Mexico with her husband, Jeff Little (Ganga Das). Between them, they have four grown daughters and eight grandchildren. 

Mirabai’s youngest daughter, Jenny, was killed in a car crash in 2001 at the age of fourteen. On that same day, her first book, a translation of the mystical masterpiece Dark Night of the Soul by the sixteenth century Spanish saint John of the Cross, was released. This experience, and the connection between profound loss and longing for the Divine, is the ground of her spiritual life. 

Drawing from 20 years of teaching Philosophy and World Religions and a lifetime of practice, Mirabai shares her wisdom worldwide on contemplative living, writing as a spiritual practice, and grief as a spiritual path. She has authored over a dozen books including Wild Mercy, Caravan of No Despair, Ordinary Mysticism, and revolutionary translations of sacred literature. For more, visit www.mirabaistarr.com.

Shāradā Devī is a globally recognized spiritual teacher & mentor, Vedic priestess, and the visionary founder of Devī School, where ancient wisdom meets embodied spirituality. Born of dual Filipino and Swiss heritage, Shāradā’s multicultural background enriches her unique approach to teaching and community-building. Shāradā’s deep passion for sacred sexuality arises from her personal journey of reclamation and her desire to restore the inherent dignity of this sacred power, which has long been overshadowed by systems of domination and suppression. Her prayer is for all to rediscover their erotic aliveness and inherent power, to recognize that each individual is whole and complete, and to awaken to the truth that they are the very source of love, pleasure, and wealth.

As a certified Sacred Sexuality Teacher and VITA Sex, Love & Relationship Coach, Shāradā leads immersive retreats, personalized mentorship programs, and global certification courses. Her work is deeply informed by her training in inner child healing, trauma integration, somatic embodiment, and sacred sexuality practices.

Shāradā’s devotion to the arts is exemplified by her background in Odissi dance, an ancient temple art. In Bali, she taught Odissi to underprivileged Indonesian teenagers, who were later invited to perform in Bali’s most revered temples. These sacred performances became a powerful expression of devotion and cultural preservation, inspiring both participants and audiences alike.

Her work extends globally through her innovative online platform, Devī School, and in-person events. She is a sought-after guest teacher at leading international yoga teacher training programs and festivals.
