Cosmos and Psyche

Intimations of a New World View

De: Richard Tarnas

Narrado por: Sean Runnette

From a philosopher whose magisterial history of Western thought was praised by Joseph Campbell and Huston Smith comes a brilliant new book that traces the connection between cosmic cycles and archetypal patterns of human experience. Drawing on years of research and on thinkers from Plato to Jung, Richard Tarnas explores the planetary correlations of epochal events like the French Revolution, the two world wars, and September 11. Whether listened to 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.

Connection of conjunctions and humanity

This was an exploration of the connection between celestial events and humanity. The information on planetary conjunctions was fascinating for me. There are numerous examples that illustrate these conjunctions’ significance for/on humanity. I did find this book to be somewhat repetitive at times, as similar points were reiterated. Despite this, the insights offered reflection on the larger forces at play in our lives. If you're interested in the relationship between cosmic cycles and humanity, it’s worth a read.

Comprehensive and thought provoking

I am relatively new to astrology and enjoyed the deep dive into cosmic events and how they have played out in our human and historical sphere. Will definitely return to parts of this, as it is quite a lot to digest!

I can't listen to anymore of this

I did not make it all the way through this book and though it might appeal to some it was not my cup of tea. a redundant helicopter View that brought back frustrated memories of my 9th grade economics teacher who couldn't tell a story to save himself. I trudged more than halfway through but then can't bring myself to listen to anymore of this. I was hoping for better storytelling and not just a list of events that somehow repeated themselves Ad nauseam.

Life expanding

This book is a pivot point in my life: a time before it, and a transformed time after. Richard Tarnas and Cosmos and Psyche came at the right time for me (approaching my 50th birthday, the beginning of my Chiron return), from the right author (and a great narrator), offering a profound perspective. Excellent and vitally important book.
