I could not imagine the project being in better hands: the producer Kenny Ausubel, one of the co-founders of Bioneers-the great annual conference that addresses issues of ecological justice-and the director Louie Schwartzberg, whose exquisite visionary films show the depth and breadth of the interconnected wisdom of the cosmos. In my family it was known simply as “the Book.” While I knew my dad was an astrologer and cultural historian, it wasn’t until after I finished my undergraduate degree that I came to find my own scholarly path aligned so closely with his, drawing me into the world of archetypal cosmology, depth psychology, and philosophy.Īs a child I was able to see the years of work and research that went into creating Cosmos and Psyche, and the moment of familial pride and gratitude I am now feeling arises from the fact that that book is being adapted into a film: Changing of the Gods. Throughout most of my childhood and teens my father was busy writing the book Cosmos and Psyche: Intimations of a New World View. I’m blessed to have had many such moments, but I’m feeling it with particular poignancy of late. Whether read as astrology updated for the quantum age or as a contemporary classic of spirituality, Cosmos and Psyche is a work of immense sophistication, deep learning, and lasting importance.There are moments in life when you feel deeply grateful for the family you were born into. It opens up a new cosmic horizon that reunites science and religion, intellect and soul, modern reason and ancient wisdom.
This brilliant book points to a radical change in our understanding of the cosmos, shining new light on the drama of history and on our own critical age. Based on thirty years of meticulous research, and on thinkers from Plato to Jung, Cosmos and Psyche explores the planetary correlations of epochal events like the French Revolution, the two world wars, and September 11. In these pages, distinguished philosopher and cultural historian Richard Tarnas traces the connection between cosmic cycles and archetypal patterns of human experience. A groundbreaking book that explores how astrology can inform our understanding of the events that have shaped our world-the inspiration for the docuseries Changing of the Gods.
