There seems little that is profound or challenging in it, but it might be that I've gotten jaded over the years. When I look about at the deepening misery in the world, I wonder about books that offer spiritual evolution as if it were a product for sale in a store. The four elements, fire, earth, air & water, are prominent in this book. On pg. 18, Gullfoss says that Fire is joy, Earth is beauty, Air is wisdom, Water is love. On pg. 23, he further equates air with breath and breath with spirit. There's no hope of nipping this corruption in the bud, but it should be pointed out that breath is air that has been processed by a living entity of some sort, and is no longer air at all. Anyone who's ever shared a breath with a lover knows there's a whole lot of difference between breathing & kissing. Air is air, but breath is fire, and spirit even more so. Llewellyn, 249 pages.

	ASTROLOGICAL KEYS TO SELF-ACUALIZATION & SELF-REALIZATION - Clara A. Weiss, $12.95 Contents: Introduction; Definitions; Aries; Taurus; Gemini; Cancer; Leo; Virgo; Libra; Scorpio; Sagittarius; Capricorn; Aquarius; Pisces; Polarity; Wholeness; Bibliography. Comment: From the back cover: The interpretations given in this book are based mainly on the teaching of the Eastern sage, the Master Djhal Khul, as given to Alice A. Bailey, particularly the concepts set forth in her book, Esoteric Astrology, which defines the occult approach to astrology marking the distinction between exoteric and esoteric astrology. Self-actualization and Self-realization are concerned with the "whole" man. Self-actualization is more easily understood for it relates to the "I" consciousness, while Self-realization refers to a happening not often experienced - a very high state of awareness of almost infinite variety. The author shows how the Zodiacal Signs, the Cosmic Rays and the Planetary Rulers of the signs contribute by the influence of their qualities to a growth in consciousness and an increasing identification with the Soul, the Higher or Transpersonal Self. Experience in each of the twelve celestial areas is shown as an adventure in growth where the expanding consciousness gradually leads to an expression of the "whole" man. For each of the signs of the zodiac are introductory notes, cosmic rays & planetary rulers, and how the opposing goals of self-actualization & self-realization play out. Published in 1980. Weiser, 115 pages.
