February 4, 2006: Archetypal Astrology - Richard Tarnas | Bigfoot and Nukes - Ed Dames
In the second half, professor Richard Tarnas joins to discuss archetypal astrology and consciousness. Tarnas presents evidence from his book Cosmos and Psyche showing correlations between planetary alignments and major historical events, including the cultural upheaval of the 1960s coinciding with a rare Pluto-Uranus conjunction. He examines Art's birth chart, identifying a Sun-Mercury-Uranus conjunction in Gemini that reflects his rebellious broadcasting style.
The conversation turns to Nancy Reagan's astrologer Joan Quigley and her influence on Cold War diplomacy. Tarnas argues that astrology offers a liberating framework for understanding archetypal forces shaping both individual lives and collective history. He and Art also reflect on the late John Mack's courageous research into alien abduction experiences.
Key Moments
Bigfoot is a teleportation projection: Dames says trained remote viewers consistently sketch a long rectilinear device in space behind the Bigfoot phenomenon. He now considers the device a teleportation mechanism that 'cans' a real gigantopithecus and projects it briefly into reality.
Hoping for higher-intelligence intervention: Dames says his goal with Project Starman is contact and intervention by a higher intelligence, because 'we're going down.' Bell agrees the trajectory is dark; Dames argues remote viewing can demonstrate the higher consciousness needed to be noticed.
Nukes not loose yet, but heading there: Pressed by Bell, Dames flatly states no nuclear weapons are currently in terrorist hands - 'yet' - but qualifies that ex-Soviet weapons are for sale and the situation is moving that way.
Reagan, Nancy, and astrologer Joan Quigley: Tarnas argues astrologer Joan Quigley, via Nancy Reagan, both timed Reagan's public actions and pushed him toward openness with Gorbachev - influencing the end of the Cold War more than was publicly known.
2008-2011 T-square echoes 1929-1933: Tarnas says a rare Saturn-Uranus-Pluto T-square in 2008-2011 last occurred 1929-1933, predicting significant destabilization of political, social, economic, and ecological structures - more severe ecologically this time.
