EPILOGUE

The "infinite and boundless potentiality of existence and the presence of ONE" inherent in every human being was clearly manifested in the man Dane Rudhyar, as shown by the various aspects of the wholeness of his being highlighted by the authors of this publication. The vision of the mystic penetrated all manifestations of matter, while the artist continued to struggle and shape matter in the image of his vison. His immense, inspired creativity and enlightened vision made him a true "agent for the divine power which vibrates at the core of the Earth and in the heart of every human being"!

In the human search for order and meaning in our life, Rudhyar showed the way to transform our individual chaos into universal cosmos, and how to creatively actualize our birth potential at the highest level we can perceive. His "AN ASTROLOGICAL MANDALA" shows how astrology is a universal symbolic language by using the cycle of 360 symbolic transformational phases as a contemporary I Ching. His astrology supplies the meaning of our personal and interpersonal problems and answers our longing for inner security with the realization of our place and function in the universal order. It shows us how everything in life is full of meaning: the correlation between our scientific discoveries in micro- and macrocosm, the universe, humanity and ourselves, between inner and outer, above and below, all contained in the same symbolic language of astrology.

Rudhyar was however an example for all of us in another way as well: he remained an indomitable source of inspiration in spite of all the problems he encountered during his life in many ways and many forms. Astrologically we could say that he not only went beyond the Saturnian limits that belong to life on our planet Earth in many ways, but at the same time understood their value, so he could find the way through and instill the depth of meaning in his work necessary to reach all human beings.

Rudhyar's work will always be understood at a vast variety of levels, but the same applies to all universal truth: it is meant to be applicable to all levels and as we grow we will find new meaning in his work. Universal truth is absolute - we are the ones who have to grow in understanding through experience in living here on Earth, with opposites and relativity in a world defined by time/space.

May his work inspire many

to enter "THE FULLNESS OF HUMAN EXPERIENCE"!

Oh, that there would be the joy
of crystalline laughter
in my eyes
to give you to drink
in the cup of our love!

Oh, that I would be buoyant
with lightness of laughter
on my lips
to raise your heavy heart
from the depths of man's pain!

Oh, that I would transfigure
with the light of laughter
around me
the shadows of your need
in certitude of overcoming!

Oh, that there would be joy
of crystalline laughter
in my eyes
to give you to drink
from the heart of my love!

Joy!
Oh, to sense it pulsing
in the hollow of our clasped hands!
Oh, to feel it throbbing
in the quiver of our mixed breaths!
Oh, to be it dancing,
to be it echoing
through the myriad chambers
of our vaulted spirits....
our joy,
the whole world's joy,
God's joy,
the incomprehensible, the total, the absolute!
Oh, to be one with the joy
in all dis-enthralled hearts!
Oh, to be one with the joy
of infinite center, endless circumference,
and to hold it,
to press it, softly, till it almost cries
of unbearable ecstasy
the joy
the immense joy of the Divine Heart!

Dane Rudhyar

"Plenitude of being,
the infinite and boundless Potentiality of existence
and the Presence of ONE are latent in every man
and every individual can become an agent for the Divine Power which vibrates at the core of the Earth
and in the heart of every human being."

Special Limited Editions

In these special limited editions, Michael R. Meyer reveals as never before the unseen forces operating behind the unprecedented crises and challenges of our time.

1) - "A New Image of Cosmos and Anthropos"
From Ancient Wisdom to a Philosophy of Wholeness.

At last a lucid presentation of ancient wisdom for postmodern minds in search of meaning.

The first part: "Toward a New Image of Cosmos and Anthropos" shows how Avatars and spiritual companionships work to help humanity take its next evolutionary step ahead. Never before revealed insights into the life-cycle through which all spiritual groups pass are offered, along with hints on how to recognize authentic spiritual companionships.

The second part: "From Atomistic Materialism to a Cyclic, Holistic Worldview" traces the hidden roots out of which today's holistic worldview has grown.

In the third part the core principles and seed ideas of a "Metaphysics and Philosophy of Wholeness" are presented.

In the fourth part: "The Cycle of Being Epitomized" the reader is treated to a breathtaking overview of the cyclic world process, the eternal Movement of Wholeness.

2) - "A Call to Transformation"
The Astrology of the Late 20th Century.

In this booklet, one of today's foremost astrologers reveals the symbols marking the path to a new millennium.

The tense and complex celestial situation of the late-20th century is shown to symbolize repeated attempts to shatter inert Saturnian mindsets, social institutions and modes of behavior in order to open the way for a future global society.

Placing today's crises and challenges in a historical perspective, Michael R. Meyer examines the 172-year cycle of Uranus and Neptune and the 500-year cycle of Neptune and Pluto, going back to the near triple conjunction of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto that took place around 600 BC.

Each 500-year period since 600 BC is shown to correspond with the unfoldment of new human capacities and mindsets, and the new forms of social organization such advances make possible. We are today experiencing a phase demanding a holistic worldview and global integration.

The modern seeker will find special interest in the section depicting Uranus, Neptune and Pluto as steps on the spiritual path, and the experiences and teachers one is likely to encounter along the way.

Each booklet costs US $12.95, plus US $3.- for postage and handling. (US $7.00 for overseas airmail) (California residents add 7.25% sales tax)
