Mankind is evolving in mind as well as in body. Indeed the body is a reflection of mind or consciousness.
As we enter the 2000-year span of the Age of Aguarius, we find that the ground rules are subtly different from those of the preceeding age, Pisces. Many changes since the turn of the century in 1900 indicate greater emphasis on a scientific approach to life, choosing a way of life that is more suited to one's personal needs, and redefining roles, such as God-self, man-woman, parent-child, society-individual, and so on.
To me life must be a conscious journey to have meaning. But mind must be balanced with heart.
Recorded here in this manifestation of the Aquarian age, the web-log, are personal observations, stuff found, helpful information, and the occasional point of illumination. It seems to me presenting topics and tidbits related to Aquarius, the sign, will help define what to expect in this brave new age. Also, I hope to find indicators of how the new Age is unfolding in the world around us.
If you feel like commenting, please do.

This may appear to be late, but that's just an illusion. LOL.
Here's the link to this year's contribution to Christmas, and one year ending and another starting. I hope you find it useful and maybe a little entertaining.
Jung's arguments (and those of his colleagues) spiral upward over his subject like a bird circling a tree. At first, near the ground, it sees only a confusion of leaves and branches. Gradually, ..the recurring aspects of the tree form a wholeness...
It looks like this blog (blog mirror?) is back in business.
Here quoting Dr. Thom F. Cavalli, PH.D: "To further simplify the difficult process of transforming the lead of the natural self into the golden consciousness of the Divine Self, I offer the following fundamentals that may guide you in the work..."
Author's Statement Expanded, 4 January 2006
Purpose
As we embark on our journey into this brave new Aquarian Age, it seems to me that an idea of what may be ahead would be helpful. An acquaintance with all things Aquarian seems to me a must.
Looking at how astrologers describe Aquarius and what attributes they give it may give us a handle. The keywords, some of which are given in this blog's banner, suggest avenues to be investigated.
The study and use of Astrology is a particularly Aquarian endeavor.
There is a synergy between Astrology and Psychology. For the last 50 years, astrologers have tended to incorporate psychological concepts [1], especially those of Analytical Psychology, in their interpretations. Carl G. Jung, the founder of Analytical Psychology [2], turned his attention to Alchemy and Astrology as well, seeing these disciplines as important to the process for self-realization.
Additional information is included in this blog's category Fundamentals to expand on these topics and bring forward some of ideas presented by other authors. Also I can talk about self, soul, consciousness, and other key concepts all I want, but if you, the reader, have no idea what I'm talking about, little is accomplished.
If I find articles and pieces of information that seem to demonstrate the Aquarian trend today, I will post them in the category Thought for Today. More personal items may be included there, as well.
Method
I prefer to quote from the source or a knowledgeable reviewer/commenter, rather than give my interpretation of a topic. I will try to give an idea of why this or that excerpt is included. Sometimes a quote may seem too long, but quoting out of context is an injustice to the originator.
