It’s going to be an interesting trip, getting back to an active involvement in reviving things in the name of the Concordance. When that chart popped onto my monitor screen that August morning of 1998, I was stunned. It was not only relevant, astrologically, but it also projected a two dimensional representation of the Spiritually significant MERKABA, which I had been studying around that time also. I had found a Spiritually significant astrological chart.
After spending a few months in studying and researching (and, because of the chart’s complexity, my astrological skills got a good honing too). The web was relatively new. Remember, this was in ’98. Dial-up was all the rage. But it was obvious that new media was going to be the best bet for someone of limited means to chase an audience.
In order to build that audience for the Concordance, I created my first website, astrosite.com, and began writing about my find. I contacted a variety of fellow astrologers who might take some time to say something about the chart from the perspective of their own particular area of expertise. I did the same with people that I had come to know who were involved in a variety of non-traditional spirituality practices. They, in turn, led me to explore a plethora of links to issues related to scientific studies of consciousness, Dimensional shifts and what we referred to as Planetary Ascension.
I moved from New York to the High Desert of Southern California about a year later, met and married my wife, Jan, and pretty much plunged into the work of audience building and research for the next four and a half years. In May of ’03, Jan and I began a six month “Concordance Road Trip,” during which we spoke in 46 cities in the US and Canada, ending up in Yalaha, Florida speaking to an audience of some 750 celebrants beneath the beautiful total Lunar Eclipse. (BTW, the image at the top right of our banner is precisely the way we saw the Eclipse at it’s maximum.)
In 2004, we traveled to Europe with long time friend, Phil Gruber, to speak about the “Concordance Quintiles,” a sequence of three charts each of which displayed a five pointed star. Just as the Concordance Sextile presents “…the measure of the Aseka Adept, The Perfect Man.” (as Religh points out in his essay on The Hexagram), so too did these charts speak very loudly of the advent of the Divine Feminine.
We returned home and I settled into my second “retirement.”
Fat chance!
