�The reality of psychic phenomena is now no longer based solely upon faith, or wishful thinking, or absorbing anecdotes. It is not even based upon the results of a few scientific experiments. Instead, we know that these phenomena exist because of new ways of evaluating massive amounts of scientific evidence collected over a century by scores of researchers.�

This is part 1 of the first chapter from Dean Radins book The Conscious Universe

�Radin makes the most powerful case for the reality of parapsychological phenomena that I have yet encountered. He shows how recent research gives overwhelming evidence for the existence of forms of influence and communication at present unexplained. He writes clearly, powerfully and persuasively, and this book shows that we are at a turning point in our scientific understanding of our minds and of nature.�

Astrology's Archaic Truths

One of the challenges for astrologers is to find a meaningful place for astrology in our modern world. In this so-called scientific society of ours, astrology often looks like a rube, an ignorant fool left over from some bygone era. Astrology may seem quaint as it attempts to describe reality through a world view that has been surpassed by the scientific discoveries of the past 500 years. Our Ptolemaic earth-centered view of the universe is seen as naive at its best and downright charlatanism at its worst. But, once we step back from the dogmas of modern science we can rediscover astrology's truths, truths which are essential to the healing of our shattered world.

If you are in a spiritually unfit state you will not be able to discover the God in you or around you. In the process of individualisation, the psyche becomes - whole when balance is achieved among four functions: thinking, feeling, sensing and intuiting. In the sys tem of charkas, we find that each phase of energy is represented by an element � earth water, fire and ether in ascending order. Each of the five vortices signifies a new quality and each is both an extension and a limitation of the other.
