Journal for Star Wisdom 2016 (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

Journal for Star Wisdom 2016 includes articles of interest concerning star wisdom (Astrosophy), as well as a guide to the correspondences between stellar configurations during the life of Christ and those of today. This guide comprises a complete sidereal ephemeris and aspectarian, geocentric, and heliocentric, for each day throughout the year. Published yearly, new editions are available beginning in October or November for 2016.

According to Rudolf Steiner, every step taken by Christ during his ministry between the baptism in the Jordan and the resurrection was in harmony with--and an expression of--the cosmos. The Journal for Star Wisdom is concerned with these heavenly correspondences during the life of Christ. It is intended to help provide a foundation for cosmic Christianity, the cosmic dimension of Christianity. It is this dimension that has been missing from Christianity in its two-thousand-year history.

Readers can begin on this path by contemplating the movements of the Sun, Moon, and planets against the background of the zodiacal constellations (side-real signs) today in relation to corresponding stellar events during the life of Christ. In this way, the possibility is opened for attuning, in a living way, to the life of Christ in the etheric cosmos.

This journal begins with an article by Robert Powell on the relationship between the galactic center and Christ's miracle of the healing of the man born blind, followed by an article by Estelle Isaacson about the life of the man-born-blind, whose name was Celidonius. She also contributed the "Star of Lazarus: A Reading of the Starry Script."

Claudia McLaren Lainson's article "The Towers We Build" relates to the planet Uranus and events of our time against the background of the position of Uranus--in 2016, the same as shortly after Christ's Ascension. She also honors psychologist and astrosopher William Bento, who died on June 2016, with her "In Memoriam."

David Tresemer's article, written with Robert Schiappacasse, expands on a short contribution from William Bento. Brian Gray's article focuses upon the birth of Jesus--in terms of a stellar imagination--in relation to the three kings on the one hand and the shepherds on the other. Nicholas Kollerstrom contributed "Position of the Ancient Star Zodiac," presenting his research into the original scientific definition of the zodiac.

The article "Specters" by Kevin Dann takes a unique approach to "The Fall of the Spirits of Darkness," the subject of David Tresemer's article. The monthly commentaries for 2016 by Claudia McLaren Lainson are supported by monthly astronomical previews by Sally Nurney, offering opportunities to observe and experience physically the stellar configurations during 2016. This direct interaction between the human being on Earth and the heavenly beings of the stars develops the capacity to receive their wisdom-filled teachings.
