We not only have a transpersonal mind and transpersonal emotional nature, we also have an abstract mind, which allows us to perceive concepts and gain the larger view of life, and we the rational mind which allows us to actually synthesize and communicate these insights into writings and speech that others can understand. I write about these functions and other holistic concepts in my astrology book ( http://www.amazon.com/Astrology-Abso...8639946&sr=1-1 ). But I also write about muses, goddesses and alternate realities in my book of prose poems ( http://www.amazon.com/Collection-Wor...1133194&sr=8-1 ) which I just published on kindle in August, 2010. But I think your ideas are fascinating and as you can tell I explore these ideas in my own writings. |

Thank you so much!
Yes, agree. It's why we shouldn't rush transformation - or growth. It should come in its own time. If we push, we sometimes are missing key components that allow the structure to stand and be stable. It's like success hitting someone too suddenly. We think it would be great - but not really. We haven't had time to adjust and encompass the enormous pressures that the change will surely entail.
I'm launching into more of my own theory on this subject. The first part is posted, blogged and ready for inspection! It goes more indepth in how to build this house. It's a theory that I came up with a few years ago. I used it to activate this area in my brain that affected my creativity/writing in a profound way. Thank God, I wrote it down! I would never have remembered all those steps I took.
It does tie into the spiritual and mystical. I guess I'm just a "striving towards the heavens" kind of girl!
I checked out your books on amazon. They sound wonderful. Do you use astrology or the psychology of it in your writing? Hope you do.
