ATMann 2002-2003 Lectures

Over 50 speakers, including 20 from overseas, presenting new ideas and applications of astrology never presented before.

"A New Vision of Astrology: From Conception to Transcendence"
A unique time scale begins our life fromconception and grades our lifetime logarithmically, reflecting changes in our time perception as we age. The resultant "four body model" integrates biology and psychology with ideas as diverse as reincarnation, esoteric chakras and rays, and provocative healing models.
"Junk DNA: Linking the Akashic Record and Astrology"
Decoding the human genome only involves 3% of the genetic material: the remainder is an encapsulated history of all life and therefore our link with the past, our previous incarnations, and the legendary Akashic Record which can be seen to reside within every living cell. Astrology is the language by which we can access this phenomenal resource.

The International Tarot Society presents:

A T Mann's "Mandala Astrological Tarot" cards were originally painted in 1972, and repainted for publication in 1986. They are circular mandala images within square cards. The cards may be rotated and placed on either of the four astrological angles: upright (MC), upside down (IC), leaning left (ASC) and leaning right (DSC). Each card is a stage-set or initiation chamber for a level in the process of achieving wholeness. All colors are coded magically and the images are derived from traditional medieval, Egyptian, Rosicrucian and other mystical languages.

"Dated Solar Returns"

The Solar Return is a useful tool for astrological updates. Here is a new technique for dating the relocated solar return year from the ASC that rewards you with more accurate dating of events throughout the year, the ability to rectify the natal birth time, and provides a structure for clients to understand their astrological mechanisms in practice. The symbolism of the “astrological birth day” is also explored – we can improve our awareness of life and participate more meaningfully in how it evolves.

"Family Systems and Life Time Astrology"

Workshop, Saturday, October 13th, 2001

Events and psychological developments of our life unfold in sequence around the horoscope circle, but they actually begin at conception, when your mother and father make love to conceive you. Their early relationship and the family system into which you are born are primary factors in your personality and essential being. Discover the dynamics of your early family life in the horoscope, easily seen and dated. The sequence of your important inner and outer events can be dated accurately by using a transparent overlay of a unique time scale and the physical and psychological interpretation of those events is “Your Story.”

The synthesis of astrology, psychology and biology brings a new dimension to astrology and is simple to understand and use as a guide for your life development. You will understand and learn to work with yourself, your family and your life process as a whole of related parts. Bring (360º wheel) horoscopes on transparencies.

This original material will be included in Tad's upcoming book, "A New Vision of Astrology" in 2002.

Cornell University, College of Architecture, Art and Planning

The 35th Reunion and Symposium features eleven members of the Class of '65 involved in creative careers. This event is supported in part by a grant from the Cornell Alumni Federation. The multimedia exhibition consists of photographs. architectural plans and models, paintings, drawings, sculptures, an invention, books and a video of all eleven members, including A T Mann.

At the evening lecture, A T Mann will discuss the origins, history and symbols of sacred design, illustrated with slides. The workshop will be a deeper exploration of the sacred through experiential work, guided imagery and provocative visual journeys. We will learn to identify, decode and begin to create sacredness around us and to nurture the sacred in our environment, reflecting what we carry within. Discover how what you gather around you signals your inner process: choice and knowledge can dramatically enhance and deepen your quest. Design experience is not required, although an open heart and mind are ideal tools.

The foundations of Feng Shui, lost in the distant past, are rooted in a Chinese Taoist philosophy that celebrates spiritual energy at work in nature. The Spirit of Space is a rediscovery of the primary art of humanity's harmony with nature. This deep logic of working harmoniously with space and movement exists within our astrological world view. Correct use of these principles promotes better health, more beautiful spaces in which to live and work, and a greater degree of inner peace and wealth. This work will not only harmonize your working and living spaces, but also will lead to improved health, wealth and well being.

Chinese Feng Shui principles and devices are often effective due to the improved intention they bring to our awareness. A twelve-sided astrological code identifies the basic mechanisms of movement in space, formulates their dynamics, and transforms these principles into good design. We will create a new way of working with our living, work and play space so that we re-discover the cosmic alignments of "The Spirit of Space."

The core of sacred architecture is the relationship between cosmos and individual, a relationship that is essential for us to re-establish in our architecture today. Physics and mythology share their common origin in such cosmic memory systems, utilizing correspondences that literally re-organize the brain and integrate one with the cosmos.

The PCC Forum is a series of lectures and dialogues that is an opportunity for creative and inquiring minds to come together and share ideas and experiences.
