Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - We may live in astonishing times, but they are not incomprehensible when you know how to read the signs.Everybody says we're entering the Age of Aquarius, but when does it start, and how will we know what it looks and feels like Ray Grasse deciphers the signs and correspondences of our nearing Aquarian future, using the tools of astrology, synchronicity, and mythology. He draws richly from contemporary religion, art, politics, science, even current movies, to show how the cultural signs of Aquarius and our likely future are already apparent and changing our world. The Aquarian Age will be marked by its intensely mental quality, when information will be the driving force of society and the biggest challenges we face will be those of the mind. Decentralization will be the order of business, either the empowered individual will reign supreme, or the collective interests of globalized society will predominate. It could be both.We are all participants in the global drama and all aspects of our inner and outer lives are bound up with the new Aquarian themes. Signs of the Times is the authoritative travel guide for the trip into our future - don't leave the present without it.…

This generalized breakdown is evident in social and moral codes, in gender distinctions and personal relationships, in politics and economics, in literature, music, dance, painting, and architecture, in our concepts of reality itself.Is there any sense to be made of this seeming chaos And if so, can any single theory adequately account for all aspects of the phenomenon Physicists and mathematicians have informed us that reality is irreducibly complex and plural, unable to be exhausted by any one system of description. Following their lead, Mary Settegast has explored several different ways of looking at the reality of dissolving forms, seeing it as the result of global consumer capitalism/ environmental deterioration/ the end of a cycle of time/ the beginning of a new cycle/ a shift in the evolution of human consciousness/ and finally, seeing the dissolution of form as a cause for celebration.Each of these six perspectives is theoretically 'correct' in its ability to explain the breakdown, and each can be supported by the work of twentiethcentury artists. Readers are asked to forego the impulse to choose which view they believe to be true and encouraged instead to practice the simultaneous holding of multiple perspectives: 'Like the Cubist painters of the early twentieth century, who were among the first to recognize the error in a single point of view, we will be trying in these pages to portray our subject from all sides in hopes of capturing it whole.'.…
