IN THIS ISSUE:

I.  Awake to Intuition....There are a couple of things going on in this essay.  First I want to review some new books that have come into my hands.   There's always a lot to talk about now that the textbooks of Western Esotericism are being written and the discipline is filling out.  But there's no way I can keep up with the barrage of new works, much as I love to keep a tentacle in the water, testing the stream. Excitingly, certain things that I have been watching out for have begun to make themselves apparent in the intellectual marketplace ...

II. World Servers' Spread, June, 2009.... "I'm sick to death of this!"  Everybody' has at least one area in life that feels this way. How many times have you heard yourself saying some version of this lately?  It's a meme that offers itself from every corner of the collective mind.  Some of us might be tempted to listen to it, repeat it, allow it to enter our regular patois and play on through their mind and mouth unnoticed.  Such a world-weary, devitalized and curdled attitude is a dangerous companion on the path to consciousness; something the mythical Don Juan would call a "worthy adversary".  When we find ourselves in the presence of such a thought-form, we need to snap awake, engage our defense mechanisms and cast it overboard as quickly as possible, before it gets its hooks very far into us. ...

III.  New Moon Notes - June, 2009 ...Wow, conjunction city!  Can anyone say 'urge to merge'?  Last month we had a spate of close contacts, but this month, there are three pairs of moving bodies that are each literally sharing the same degree.

This NewMoon is the first and primal pair, since this provides the reason for constructing the chart in the first place. The companion conjunctions are occurring between Mars/Venus and Neptune/Jupiter (these two are retrograde).  This makes my job easier, because mathematically, the more bodies that act together, the fewer aspects there are to talk about.  But of course, the circumstance adds interpretive complication in another way, because so many aspects turn into triangulations (of a sort), having extra partners mixed up in the deal. (Sounds like a mini-lesson in relationships right there!)....

Awake To Intuition

By Christine Payne-Towler
ArkLetter 52 -- June 22,  2009 

There are a couple of things going on in this essay.  First I want to review some new books that have come into my hands.   There's always a lot to talk about now that the textbooks of Western Esotericism are being written and the discipline is filling out.  But there's no way I can keep up with the barrage of new works, much as I love to keep a tentacle in the water, testing the stream. Excitingly, certain things that I have been watching out for have begun to make themselves apparent in the intellectual marketplace -- there are some very positive developments showing up. I'm going to skip lightly through these things and give them to you in the short form, rather than write my usual labored connect-the-dots article. My hope is always that readers will have their interests ignited and will seek out the relevant researcher's works rather than just trust my personal, opinionated summations.
