Theososhy and theosophical writings.

What I . . . have tried to do, directly through the formulation of philosophical ideas and indirectly through the symbolism of a basically transformed astrology, is to formulate as clearly as possible a new interpretation of esoteric concepts. These concepts are now easier to understand, because the new world-view made possible by modern physics and astronomy have given their previously subjective, unusual, and mystical character a more objective reality. . . . The title of my book, The Planetarization of Consciousness indicates the approach I have sought to promote. Occultism, theosophy, and even mystical experiences can be understood far more easily and concretely if interpreted on the basis of the workings of a planetary system of organization, on the basis of understanding the earth as a living organism encompassing psychomental and spiritual levels (or spheres) of activity and consciousness.

Beyond Individualism - The Psychology of Transformation by Dane Rudhyar, with a Foreword by James Fadiman, Ph.D.
"The first time I read this book, it was difficult for me to stay with the argument, to maintain my attention. I saw that my educational up-bringing has lessened my capacity to pay attention. The second time I read the book I could see how it has begun to work on me, I was willing to walk along with Rudhyar and notice things as he pointed them out. My defensiveness had diminished, my pomposity about being a 'real' psychologist had deflated. I realized I was in the presence of a great mind who was willing to clarify the place in which I found myself.
     I suggest you read this book for pleasure, not for enlightenment (for you are already enlightened), not for scholarship, not for the sake of 'keeping up,' but to give yourself a larger set of windows to view your life from. It is a pleasure to know that books like this are still offered to us. It is a personal pleasure to commend it to you."
-from the Foreword by James Fadiman, Ph.D.
