UNIVERSAL GEOMETRIES OF INCLUSION: How Symbolic Mirrors of Natural Laws Become Reminders for Kindness
with Bruce Rawles

Flower of Life Monday, November 5, 2012. 7 - 9pm. $20.

In this multimedia presentation, author and sacred geometry researcher Bruce Rawles explores seven Hermetic Laws from antiquity that apply equally to everyone, paired with seven archetypal geometric metaphors. He explains how an inclusive thought system reinterprets all seemingly disparate events and characters in our surreal stories as emissaries asking for our gifts of humor, release from inner bondage and unconditional kinship.


Bruce Rawles Bruce Rawles is mystical soul with a mathematical mind; an explorer of the extrapolation of quantum physics into non-dual metaphysics. His geometric and philosophic quests seek the unchanging and universal. His first book, Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook, offers a hands-on approach to finding interconnectedness by immersion in patterns. His second book, The Geometry Code, turns the exploration inward to the mind. Here polarizing paradoxes are resolved by bringing awareness of natural laws and universal symbols to our shared interests and the teacher of unconditional kindness we all have in common.

NOVEMBER ASTROLOGICAL UPDATE

 by Marci McCaffery

 
Astrologer Marci McCaffery

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 23)

I TRANSFORM  

The sign of Scorpio is often referred to as the most complex of the twelve signs in the zodiac. We can rely on the resilience of Scorpio's transformative power, fixity of purpose and instinctual nature to get to the truth in all situations. The energy of this fixed water-sign, asks us delve deeper intothe root causes of the tough stuff.The regenerative powers of Scorpio imply the need to make changes that evolve the self to a higher plane.

On October 29th, the Full Moon at 7 degrees Taurus, marks the last of the four power moons. This is one of the most creative Full Moons of the year. The combination of the practical and the emotional energies offer us an opportunity to bring matters that have to do with what is truly valued to a successful conclusion.

666 AND THE EARTH BEAST

by Bruce Johnson

Flower of Life 

666 and the earth beast

Chapter 13 of the Book of Revelation describes a beast of the earth that deceives earth's inhabitants and forces them to receive his mark. The mark is caused to be placed on the right hand or forehead of unfortunate humanity by the beast whose number is 666. Studying the numerology of 666 reveals a surprising allegorical truth, not a prophecy of Earth's future.

 

The heavens and earth of Genesis took six days to create. Six is the number of matter, form, and physical manifestation. Six is dual, passive, and corresponds to the pole of dense matter. It symbolizes the body as opposed to the soul that created and animates it. Esoterically, six corresponds to darkness and is the reverse in shape, and opposite in quality, to the number nine.

All life is movement, and in these there are Cycles - some small, others great. Every Ending should usher in a new Beginning...yet the mode in which we 'end' is critically important - is there a Grand Finale, a dramatic conclusion...or a whimper, slowly leaching away at Life...leaving behind 'unfinished business'? Are you done with the Old...or is it still tearing at you...holding you back?
