Diana Badger draws from decades of engagement with depth psychology, spiritual practice, embodied healing, and ecological awareness to illuminate the zodiacal archetypes as patterns that speak simultaneously to our evolving inner lives and the world around us.
In this deeply personal reflection, Lauren de Boer traces humanity’s spectacular evolutionary lineage—from stardust to photosynthesis, respiration, and the human hand—toward a renewed faith in life’s creative unfolding. Drawing on Teilhard de Chardin, he names “the great enamorment” as the universe’s love-in-action, calling us to live as conscious ancestors serving future generations.
This expansive essay explores the multiverse as both scientific theory and cultural metaphor, weaving together threads from quantum mechanics, psychedelic neuroscience, religious cosmology, and pop culture. Pick argues that the multiverse—a model of infinite, interconnected realities—mirrors the fragmented yet richly pluralistic nature of modern consciousness in the age of digital hyperconnectivity.
This essay critiques the divisive structures of modern Western thought and its reliance on categorization, separation, and hierarchical knowledge. Drawing on Ken Wilber’s models while gently transcending them, it contrasts fragmented worldviews with Indigenous and quantum paradigms rooted in relationality, space, and presence.
The water element partakes of the Divine Feminine, both astrologically and alchemically. In the psychology of alchemy, one strives towards a perfect balance between the elements within an individual. The alchemical term for water processes, solutio, means “transformation by water.”
Trickster mythologies often teach us about the necessity for human culture to embrace and maintain a relationship with the marginal wilds of the natural world and the soul itself. In countless fairy tales, an ailing kingdom is revived by a heroine or hero taking a journey beyond its boundaries. The medicine needed most is almost always found in the dark forest, not in the comforting lights of home.
"A full moon night, a new moon sky, lunar and solar eclipses are such occurrences when planets align - to bring magic to the universe. In many cultures, this astronomic alignment is seen as a sign of divine intervention. Artist Sarla Chandra invokes this magical phenomenon in her latest series Syzygy - that explores the cyclical movement of celestial bodies in the cosmic world."
The fundamental principle of depth-cosmology is that the universe is a Mind, but it goes way beyond pan-psychism. This is not a static and transcendent universe, but dynamic, process oriented and – just like humanity – self-actualizing. Furthermore, it supports the possibility of cosmic personalisation; the idea that the universe, in its unfolding evolution, is developing an increasingly individuated ‘character’, or identity.
"At both scales of reality—the cosmic metaphysical and the human psychological—the untamed, chaotic unconscious is the mother of the conscious. The latter “eternally struggles to extricate itself from the primal warmth and primal darkness of the maternal womb,” that it may express the potential from which it arises as localized form or explicit thought. The roots of matter and thought thus share the same profoundly wild, oceanic origins as does time."
