Inside the Cosmic Mind; Archetypal Astrology and the New Cosmology

 28/3/2001

Linn MacDonald recently found my book and sent me the following appreciative message:

I just wanted to let you know how interesting I found this, and how it has pulled together a number of the threads that have preoccupied me, i.e. synchronicity, number, patterns, time, archetypes, astrology. Like Sandra I am indebted enormously to Carl Jung and I am indebted to you also for your part in elaborating all these currently vital ideas.. Thank you! Warm wishes, Linn MacDonald

Thank you Linn for expressing your appreciation of my work - very heart-warming!

  Inside the Cosmic Mind: Archetypal Astrology and the New Cosmology  The following is a re-posting of the blurb from the back cover which my publisher wrote. It’s a good introduction to what the book is all about. Inside the Cosmic Mind presents a radical new approach to astrology in the light of the emerging worldview known as archetypal cosmology. In this book Phoebe Wyss explores the roots of this cosmology in the wisdom of the ancient Egyptian mysteries, then follows these ideas to modern times through Jung’s ideas on the nature of the psyche. In doing so she discovers that astrology is entirely compatible with the claims of the new cosmological thinking as envisioned by post-modern physics and chaos theory. She goes on to propose that the mathematical basis of astrology and the components of astrological charts are both psychological and cosmic in their scope. And she argues that the twelve astrological archetypes make up one single cosmic mind whose patterns ar...

Review by Anne Whitaker

Review of Inside the Cosmic Mind: Archetypal Astrology and the New Cosmology by Phoebe Wyss, by Anne Whitaker “ Like everyone else who has taken time out to study astrology in depth, I know it delivers…though I was never able to explain how it works, which left me helplessly wrong-footed…so in 2005 I started out on a quest to find the answer to this mystery, and this book is a record of the path I took, and of the unexpected places it led me.” I have recently finished Phoebe Wyss’ account of her quest, and have to say right away that I loved this book, which has already begun to inform my own astrology teaching to which I have recently returned after a very long break. The opening quote certainly applies to my relationship with astrology which began in 1980. I have a life-long interest in science and have been fascinated for a very long time by what I could grasp of the contingent, bizarre and paradoxical reality which quantum physics has been revealing to us throughout...

  Osho Rajneesh on the mystical conception of Beauty an extract from his book Satyam, Shivam, Sunderam . WHAT IS THE MYSTIC CONCEPTION OF ULTIMATE REALITY? Maneesha, the mystic's conception of the ultimate reality is the only authentic, real experience. It is not a thought or a concept, but an existential experience. But the mystic does not deal with the mind. His whole effort is to get rid of the prison of the mind. The mystic is not a philosopher; his world is beyond all philosophies. Philosophies are simply by-products of mental processes. They do not reflect the reality, they only reflect you. That's why there are so many philosophies in the world, contradicting each other. The reality is one. How can there be so many philosophies? There are not so many mystical experiences. There is only one experience; neither time changes it, nor space. Since millennia, the mystic in every country, in every race, in every age has experienced the same reality. The philosopher thinks a...
