I discovered Lao Tzu's poetry in 1993, a seed that germinated into a flower when I began reading the I Ching, five years later.
In the summer of 2000, a series of dreams and synchronistic experiences led me to study the Mayan calendar. I had already begun the study of astrology in the Western tradition, starting with Dane Rudhyar and going through the works of Stephen Arroyo and Donna Cunningham. I read Ptolemy, Alan Oken, Robert Blaschke, Alan Leo, Charles Carter, and basically whatever 20th century material I could find for a while, until discovering ARHAT and the recent translations of Medieval and Hellenistic Astrology. At this point I began to practice natal astrology with Whole Sign Houses and planetary cycles (the synodic return cycles and the 8 classical aspects) that for me, is deeply integrated with principles of elemental forces as described in the I Ching and the philosophy of Tao. In 2003 I studied Shamanic Astrology with Daniel Giamario, whose work is a synthesis of archaic, modern and experiential approaches to the process of astrology.
I currently provide astrology consultations and classes in New York or by telephone.
the alchemusic website and the astrology website are still under construction. I will update this site as time moves forward. thank you for listening...
wow, the best part of double helix is that you end it with a dot. that dot has the entire piece contained in it, it feels like. for all that work, one dot is everything. dot.
The bamboo-shadows move over the stone steps
as if to sweep them, but no dust is stirred;
The moon is reflected in the pool, but the
water shows no trace of its penetration.
"Truth is a pathless land.
Man cannot come to it through any organization,
through any creed, through any dogma, priest or ritual,
nor through any philosophic knowledge or psychological technique.
He has to find it through the mirror of relationship,
through the understanding of the contents of his own mind,
through observation and not through intellectual analysis or introspective dissection.
Man has built in himself images as a fence of security - religious, political, personal.
These manifest as symbols, ideas, beliefs.
The burden of these images dominates man's thinking,
his relationships and his daily life.
These images are the causes of our problems
for they divide man from man.
His perception of life is shaped by the concepts already established in his mind.
The content of his consciousness is his entire existence.
This content is common to all humanity.
The individuality is the name, the form and superficial culture he acquires
from tradition and environment.
The uniqueness of man does not lie in the superficial
but in complete freedom from the content of his consciousness,
which is common to all mankind."
