the exceptional life

"Who or what exactly in this Genius?  It is not a "higher self" that floats above the ego.  Nor is it the spectre of a disembodied, immortal soul.  It is more like a supernatural force that presses into the personal ego from the Deep.  As a presence in the background, it haunts the dimension of Lookback Time, the remote past;yet it makes itself known as a voice calling from the future..."
John Lamb Lash, Quest for the Zodiac

genius in the starchild

'Starbase puts us on the "event horizon" of evolutional time...it poses a challenge: find the best in yourself by mastering then higher intelligence  Life has invested in you....Star  Base locates each individual on the learning curve if the human species...

Viewed in the stellar dimension, human fate is a shared adventure.  From the entire human species we each inherit specific gifts that have been prepared long in advance by unknown ancestors...The Starchild embodies the Genius of our species.  If the Genius is not honoured and sustained, evolution turns into a degenerating ego-game.'

from ego to endowment

from Quest for the Zodiac by John Lash

"It is one thing to have an endowment, and another to claim it....we must know what we are receiving and we must receive it consciously, gratefully...

Viewed in the stellar dimension human fate is a shared adventure.  From the entire species we each inherit gifts that have been prepared long in advance by unknown ancestors.  We receive this legacy as self-initiating instruments of a higher continuity, rather than self-seeking egos."

quest for the zodiac

John Lash has begun a new study course on Celestics or forensic astrology.  It is star based i.e. based on the actual positions of the constellations in the sky unlike other modern versions of astrology, surprisingly.  It has been a long time dream of mine to study this subject matter with John Lash and here it is! and free and online. I can study in the comfort of my own delightful home and even have stellarium to assist when it's too cloudy  here in misty Avalon to see the starry sky.  He starts from the beginning and carefully takes us through the language and concepts so that we can think about it for ourselves.  It's also very entertaining.

There are three genres of Celestic Science:
astronomy or the naming of stars
astrology or the language of stars
astrolegy or divination by reading the stars
I studied astronomy of sorts at university as part of a physics degree and also astrology for years but never felt that I was getting the knowledge I was looking for, now I feel that I am on that journey at last.  A lot of threads are quite suddenly coming together, it's a very exciting moment to be in.
