SATURN/URANUS: A WHALE OF A STORY
Excerpt:
“Thursday, October 27, 1988. Barrow, Alaska (AP): “Superpower saviors opened a path to the sea and freed two trapped whales Wednesday, as Soviet ice-breakers bashed through an ice ridge and Americans hacked ice holes toward the Russians . . . Would the whales be freed in time, or would the unprecedented international effort come to naught?”

ENTROPY AND THE CRONE: EXPLORING THE PHYSICS & METAPHYSICS OF EVOLVING SYSTEMS
Excerpt:
“Jeff: We need to distinguish between the universe as a whole, and different parts within it. The solar system, for example, is a part which is in equilibrium, but the universe as a whole is going further away from equilibrium.”

THE URANUS/PLUTO IN VIRGO GENERATION (1962-1968)
Excerpt:
“I investigate the astrological signature of this generation, how it has already begun to make its mark upon the world. I then place this group within the larger sociological context of its birth. The “’60s,” and discuss the astrological signature of “the hippies” who made that decade famous. The hippies were the parents of the Uranus/Pluto generation; their role in the Uranus/Pluto drama continues to this day and beyond.”

HOW OUR WAY OF ORGANIZING EXPERIENCE GOVERNS OUR ATTITUDES TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER
Excerpt:
“In order to change our beliefs, we must know them — a daunting proposition. For the beliefs that hold us in thrall, the deepest ones, lie hidden within our bconscious minds and constitute the conceptual bedrock upon which we stand.”

COYOTE WOMAN, SOFTLY SNORING
Excerpt:
“This was the first inkling I had that I was in a situation which I didn’t understand at all, and that no matter how many words came out of these women’s mouths, their “wisdom” probably had more to do with who they were, how they lived, than with any “answers” they could give me.”

PRAYER: AS SURRENDER TO THE LARGER ORDER
Excerpt:
“When I was a child, I prayed in church on Sundays, asking for things I wanted. Head down, eyes shut, kneeling with hands folded in a state of chronic guilt, I tried to hook up with God. I look back now at all those children and adults in church, apparently deep in prayer, and wonder: did others, like me, wonder if God was really there?”

HAS “CELEBRATING DIVERSITY” DEVOLVED INTO “IDENTITY POLITICS”
Excerpt:
“Usually I’m all for non-binary approaches to life, realizing that life is much more colorful than merely black and white. But there’s something about the LGBTQ movement, or whatever it calls itself now, that just doesn’t sit well within me.”

WHEN IS “DISCIPLINE” ONLY DENIAL?
Excerpt:
“What we call “discipline” is, in truth, a form of denial. We deny the natural flow of our own energy; we damn it up. This is not love, this is fear. The more we deny it, the stronger it gets, the more energy it takes to continue the denial. Our energy, which would naturally be used to express ourselves creatively in the world, splits in two, part of it damming up, the remainder used against itself.”

THE CRONE CHRONICLES EXPERIMENT
Excerpt:
“In the middle of the night I was startled awake by a strong clear impression of a giant raven clawing into my shoulders from behind, cawing, no shrieking, ‘Wake up! Wake up! It’s time!’ Instantly, intuitively, I knew it was the Crone, and that I was to somehow help Her come back into collective awareness. But how? I had no idea.”
