The Science of Impression and Its Public Expression

Revs. Katherine Zakutansky and Tom Simota

Head with colorsHave you taken Intuitive Development I and II?  Now it's time for a fresh new approach to Level III. Come and reach higher! This is an advanced course in Intuitive Development. Introduced in the Bailey materials as the basis of all telepathic intuitive work, the study begins with the concepts of Contact and Impact. Once acquainted with the scientific and occult basis for the work, we explore the concept of group mind and the many practical applications of intuitive skill, including past life and public work. The final phase will center around what is next - preparing ourselves for the next step in the evolution of human consciousness - the 5th Dimension, or preparation for the Light Body. Join us for a highly experiential, joy filled expression of the Science of Impression.

Prerequisites: Intuitive Development I and II

Music and the Evolving Consciousness 

Rev. Roberta Wilkes

moving musicSince at least the time of the ancient Greeks, philosophers have recognized the connection between the Universe and music. Modern physicists and other intellectual giants have posited theories of creation which recognize the importance of vibration, color and sound. Humanity's experience with music has changed as consciousness has evolved, allowing us to hear music as it becomes ever more sophisticated, brought into our physical surroundings by Master Musicians and composers. This class will explore the contribution of these composers and their music, and will allow you to explore your own ability to add to the expansion of consciousness. There is a place for non-musicians and trained musicians alike in this class.

Students will need to have a personal cd player available.

Blog post: The Twins Are Eclipsed

By Mary Plumb | May 30, 2011

Source: mountainastrologer.com

gemini constellationThe "Two Stars" known to the Egyptians are the brightest stars in the constellation that came to be known as Gemini. There are different mythological stories of these twin stars, named Castor and Pollux by the Romans. (1) In most telling, they have the same mother and different fathers. Castor is a son of Zeus, and thus immortal. When his beloved, mortal brother Pollux is killed in battle, Zeus responds to Castor's request to keep them together and they become the Gemini constellation. In another part of the tale, once both brothers are granted immortality, they spend alternate days on Olympus with the gods and in Hades with deceased mortals. They were the only beings who participated in both worlds.

Earthly life is dependent on the Sun, the central star of our solar system. The Sun is in Gemini from May 21 - June 21. I always think about Gemini as I first read about it in an early book on esoteric astrology, The Wisdom in the Stars, by Joan Hodgson. She makes the parallel between the twins and the dual nature of the human mind. The so-called "lower mind," or ordinary mind, is...

Higher Self Astrology I: Astrology Basics -
Nuts and Bolts

Dennis Acrea

Dennis Acrea with chart floor modelAstrology is a useful tool for illuminating the Soul's Path and discovering a vision of one's place within the whole in this lifetime. The seeker will find that astrological symbolism helps to intensify one's own self- awareness as we learn that the force behind the movement of the planets is the same force that moves each of us. Those who complete this class will learn the basic principles of Astrology that will prepare one for further accelerated study of the Divine Science.

This class is a prerequisite to Intermediate Astrology and higher level Astrology classes including Esoteric Astrology and Evolutionary Astrology that are offered in alternate years.

Higher Self Astrology III: Evolutionary Astrology

Dennis Acrea

PleiadesThis new course was developed for students who are studying at an intermediate level. Utilizing the signs, houses and planets as well as the techniques of Transits and Progressions, the seeker is ready to explore the specialized topic of Evolutionary Astrology. Our birth chart is our road map to increasing awareness, allowing us to observe the dramas of the ego; absorbing them reflectively; and then distilling them into Wisdom. Multiple techniques for getting in touch with the Soul behind the chart will be introduced and then applied to the charts of famous people and the charts of students who are willing to share them. Students are invited to bring charts of friends and family for study and reflection. Ample time will be given to the application of evolutionary techniques.

Prerequisite: Since students are expected to know the basics including the glyphs and key words, there is a prerequisite of both Higher Self Astrology Classes I and II. However, long-time students of Astrology who have not taken Dennis' courses may apply for this class by submitting to the Registrar a description of the classes you have taken and the books you have read; along with your experience in Astrology. Dennis reserves the right to redirect applicants to previous level of study.

Spirituality of the Mature Masculine:
An Exploration of Archetypes

Rev. Mark Throckmorton

Michelangelo's DavidMen struggle to find and inhabit a 21st Century masculinity. When women become spiritually opened and empowered, many men fear they are losing the last bastion of traditional male superiority: the "right to rule" that they have learned is granted by God, supported in sacred texts, or bolstered by their long exposure to dichotomies of male-female roles.

This class explores the four archetypes of the "Mature Masculine" set forth by Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette's King, Warrior, Magician, Lover - outlining the journey into these four "man psychologies" from immature "boy psychologies". This journey can lead men to a masculinity that is powerful, while not controlling; supportive and nurturing, while not passive; and balances, complements, and even energizes the archetypes of feminine spirituality and power.

Beyond the World of Soul

Rev. Margaret Stephens

spiral teamworkThis advanced Spiritual Science class examines, from the perspective of Soul and beyond, what it means to be human and to be a disciple in each of the Worlds: the Material World, the Subtle World, and the Fiery World. An in-depth exploration of the purpose of increased sensitivity; of service; and of the Law of Sacrifice is an important part of class content. Bring your questions as we explore and experience together and thus create our Path to the Future.

Psychography: Healing Memories, Past and Present Lifetimes

Revs. Helen Weiser and Robert Willson

blue mind soulDeveloped by the late Rev. Dr. Franklin Loehr, Psychography focuses on healing memories experienced in the present life or in previous ones. Psychography offers a beautiful blend of psychological and spiritual techniques to foster healing.

Using this non-hypnotic, altered state method, one discovers the core issues of the past which trigger reactions in the present. Then with the help of the "inner knower," that part in each human that is all knowing, healing is brought to the circumstances and souls involved.

Techniques will be shared through lecture and discussion, as well as through hands-on practice. All students will experience 10 sessions, trading off as client and therapist, thus preparing them to continue using the techniques upon completion of the class. Instructors will be on hand to guide participants as they learn.

42 hours CEU: LCSW, LADC, and CADC

Note: Counseling week or its equivalent is required to qualify for the Psychography certificate; participants will receive 40 hours of credit towards certification.
