You can visit a psychic shop in any big city and be told about your past lives: you were famous, you lost someone you loved. But the best past life regressions are like very sobering parables; they leave us with a feeling of freedom and of the multi-dimensionality of time and space. My first happened almost a year ago.

I was visiting a classroom of undergraduate Philosophy and Religion students talking about ayahuasca shamanism this past November. The question was posed to me, “Is ayahuasca a new religion?” (more)

From an astrological point of view the entire 2012 movement can be seen as a warning from the creative unconsciousness of the human soul. The lesson or the goal of this astrologically based cultural movement (Mayan or otherwise) has always been the same: let's produce less fate and create more free will. (more)

In my first year as an astrologer the most relentless question I've fielded in over 500 sessions has been "When will I meet my soul mate?" Astrology has always had a lot to say on the subject of love. The answers aren't always what people want to hear but they are almost always what people need to hear. (more)

As we enter the Age of Aquarius it's tempting to declare the tyrant King dead, the age of the Guru finished, and the dawn of the people upon us. It's at this critical moment that we must understand that every cosmic age is engaged in a healthy conversation with its archetypal opposite. (more)

Growing up in the evangelical church and studying ayahuasca the past six years, I've seen how religious doctrines can turn into roadblocks in our relationship to God and each other. The new age movement is a young, innovative religious development on the planet, and we can avoid the trap of fundamentalism if we carefully study its implied doctrines. (more)

In Greek mythology the way to invoke a bad fate is to show hubris. Modern hubris is nothing more than investing too much energy into unexplored assumptions. The more we get to know our assumptions the more that fate, and time and space itself, become malleable. The work of creation becomes cooperative.The word becomes flesh. (more)

Since Neptune’s discovery in 1846 and the first major drilling of oil in 1848, we have become aware of the evolution of consciousness. As Neptune completes its first full transit cycle since 1846, oil is on the way out and the Internet is in full force. So what's next? (more)

In 2010 I suffered from two intense 3-day fevers. One came at the Summer Solstice eclipse, during the time of the Cardinal Grand Cross, and the other just this past week at the Winter Solstice eclipse. Looking back at these events and their painful but ultimately beautiful effect on my life and the lives of my clients, friends and family, I feel well prepared for the Astrology of 2011. (more)

I cupped my hands over my ears and saw myself curled into the fetal position, disoriented and trying to escape. But escape from what, exactly? Not the effects of the ayahuasca or the visions, but something deeper, something residing at my core: the malignant feeling of being insignificant and alone in a universe far too vast and viscious for me to make headway. 

Having drunk in nearly 25 Ayahuasca ceremonies with four different shamans from three different countries on two different continents, I still do not feel capable of defining what makes an Ayahuasca ceremony "medicinal" or "authentic." [An RS Encore Presentation] (more)

In this interview, the artists Alex and Allyson Grey speak about last week's near-fatal crash, and how it "woke them up further."  (more)

When I first drank ayahuasca the insights I received were as numerous as the swirling colors and out-of-body visions. As my relationship to the medicine has deepened, the insights I keep close to my heart have become simpler and less material. Part 1 in the series Meditations from the Medicine. (more)
