The Qualities of Time (Vol. V) (eBook)

The Qualities of Time: The Earth

Why do most astrologer neglect the significance of the Earth itself at the time of birth? What does the “Earth” have to do with the “moral individuality” and “life purpose”? This volume offers an introduction to this question of The Earth. Drawing from hundreds of examples in his personal work with others and 50 or so well-known historical personalities, he tried to lead the interested reader to examine this cosmic indicator towards some of the mysteries of the “human will.” It is suggested that the reader of this book will have read at least the first volume of the series, or has some background in the language of astrology.

About the Author

Paul Platt was born and raised on the outskirts of New York City about the middle of last century. As a child of his time, he was both a good athlete (particularly tennis) and good student. He first attended Williams College and then Reed College, studying philosophy and religion. He graduated from Reed in 1970 with a degree in religion. Paul wrote his undergraduate thesis on the theme of Good and Evil as explored by the Jewish theologian, Martin Buber. Later, years after graduation (1970), while engaged in writing a novel about a young man coming of age in New York City, Paul had an ‘awakening’ to a larger part of his Self. This inaugurated the central motif which has guided his life during the previous thirty years. Simply put, it has been a self-exploration and self-development. Though conversant with a wide range of teachings and teachers, most fully perhaps, that of Rudolf Steiner, to whom Paul owes an inestimable debt of gratitude, Paul has largely charted his own course.
