THE HEAVENS—Charging the supreme being with felony reckless endangerment, heavenly authorities placed the Lord our God, Divine Creator and Ruler of the Universe, under arrest Monday for leaving His children trapped in an overheating planet. “While it’s possible for even the most attentive deity to momentarily forget how quickly a planet’s temperature can rise, that’s no excuse for such horrifying negligence,” said the archangel Selaphiel, noting that The Almighty had put not just one of his children at risk, but billions. “Frankly, we’re lucky we got there and pried open the atmosphere when we did or they would have all been gone in less than 100 years.” At press time, a tearful God said He had only left to run a brief errand just on the other side of the galaxy and said He would never forgive Himself.

“People forget facts but they remember stories” — Joseph Campbell 

Joseph John Campbell (March 26, 1904 – October 30, 1987) was an American writer and scholar who specialized in comparative mythology and religion. His work explored the universal role of myth across cultures and the common themes found in myths worldwide. Campbell is best known for his 1949 book The Hero with a Thousand Faces, which argues that all mythologies and religious stories share the same structure.

Community UpdateJuly 2025 Celebrating CommunityA Month of New Beginnings in The Season of Celebration As the month of June ushers in a flurry of weddings and graduations, you might say June is the month of celebration. In fact, the word June comes from Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage. Newlyweds are starting their new life as a couple. School is over and students are having a last fling before going off to college. Parents are packing the family SUV for vacations, opening to the new rhythms of Summertime. June has both the longest days of the year (in the Northern Hemisphere) and the shortest (in the Southern Hemisphere). June is also the month we celebrate Father’s Day and the start in earnest to grilling-on-the-barbeque outdoor living. Just throw a stone in any direction and you’re bound to hit a party-goer, as everywhere we celebrate new beginnings. In The Prosperos, we celebrate new beginnings of a different sort.  For within the heart of every person, a field of pure potentiality becomes a doorway through which the originality and genius of each person can enter the world. We leave behind ideas that are just never big enough to house the extraordinary essence of the human soul. We find new beginnings, the unpredictable good hidden within every moment and every circumstance.Calvin Harris, H.W., M. taught Translation® class recently in Tulsa, Oklahoma The class was well-received by students, who appreciated Calvin’s unique approach to teaching Translation® with videos and humor. His engaging teaching style was inspiring, educational and fully explanatory of the techniques. Students praised Harris for making the complex subject of Translation® accessible and enjoyable. They highlighted that his use of videos helped illustrate difficult concepts visually, making them easier to understand. Overall, Harris’s class was deemed a great success.Calvin concentrates on class preparation…. The Prosperos Assembly 2025 September 5 – 8, 2025 Integrity – The Key to Freedom Expanding Consciousness through new paradigms of wholeness You are warmly invited to join us for this event – in person – at the Island Palms Hotel in beautiful San Diego, California! < < < <   > > > > For more information about registration and hotel booking, please visit our website at: https://www.theprosperos.org/prosperos-events/assembly-2025 Why You’ll Love Assembly! by Calvin Harris, H.W.,M. Growing up in the 1950s, a two-week summer sleep-away camp promised endless adventures and limited parental supervision, it was a child’s version of heaven. When I was a young teen, I went to a Southern California mountains camp. It was the first place I ever rode a horse in the woods, shot a bow and arrow, and went lake swimming/canoeing – it was also where I had my first experience as a teen with other teens my age and older who supported each other in group activities. Over the years some of these memories have faded into the cycle of adult responsibilities, but I have always looked for opportunities to rekindle that supportive not-a-care-in-the-world feeling, even just for a little while. The Prosperos Assemblies have held this promise for me as well as – expect the unexpected – in learning something new, coupled with a type of camaraderie built on mutual trust and friendship among like-minded people who spend time together. When I was a kid, it was never too early to start dreaming, imagining, thinking or planning for summer camp. As a kid it seemed like it took forever to get to the day I would be leaving for camp, but in real time, if arrangements had not been made in the appropriate time frame, summer camp could be out-of-reach because the opportunity to make reservations had come and gone, or beds had reached capacity far before the final day for registration. As it turns out, I’m not the only one who dreams of summer camp – today, more and more groups and hotels are offering programming that is geared toward adults, yet designed to re-create the feeling of childhood discovery and wonder. The Prosperos is one of them. While many types of groups around the world offer these camp-like vibes, The Prosperos presents the real deal and has since 1957. Your experience in Assembly will be one that will linger in your consciousness as path-changing. After all, you have come to experience the unexpected.Vesper Flights Pat Lambert, Vesper Flights contributor “A little old couple who had begun their lives together sixty years ago – after attending a class given by Thane, Dean of the Prosperos – set out to attend a Translation® class.

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR DAILY REFLECTION BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE SCHOOL OF PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY

The Tower There are many aspects of the Tower that should remind us of the lessons to be learned within the Death card. All life is change – we can either surrender to this, or fight against it. What the Tower teaches us is that the power of life is undeniable. We can learn our lessons the easy way – by being open and accepting; or we can do things the hard way, clinging to things and ideas that no longer work for us. In that case, life will come along and, like a hurricane, batter us with the winds of change till we submit!So… on a Tower day, we need to examine ourselves to identify the things to which we are clinging that no longer serve us well. We need to be alert to the concepts life itself presents us with. So this day could be one in which people talk relevantly to you, without knowing that they are doing that. Listen carefully for random symbols which will point you in the right direction.When the Tower rules, it is possible that unexpected events will take place that you hadn’t seen coming. If so, remember that to resist change is to deny life, and bear in mind that life is eventually going to win this battle anyhow – so lie back, relax and accept. And keep your sense of humour close at hand!Sometimes we will be asked to take a blind leap of faith under the influence of the Tower – remember this card signals breakthrough and extension – growth from experience, and self trust. Whenever you are unsure about your abilities to deal with things, remind yourself what you have already passed through in your life. There’s a river of knowledge flowing through you already. Affirmation: “I trust to myself and to life.”

Google AI Overview

In astrology, a “point of coincidence” generally refers to an instance where two or more distinct elements in a birth chart, such as planets, aspects, or Arabian Parts, converge or align in a meaningful way. When focusing on Mars, Uranus, and the rising sign (also known as the ascendant), a “point of coincidence” might manifest in a few different ways: 

1. Mars or Uranus conjunct the Rising Sign:
* Conjunction: This is when Mars or Uranus are in the same zodiac sign and very close in degrees to the rising sign, or even exactly on the ascendant.
* Interpretation: A planet closely conjunct the rising sign in a birth chart significantly impacts the person’s personality and how they present themselves to the world. The influence of the planet becomes vitally important, potentially being as significant as the sun sign.
* Mars conjunct Rising Sign: Can indicate an assertive, energetic, and potentially impulsive individual who is driven to take action and pursue their desires.
* Uranus conjunct Rising Sign: Suggests a need for freedom and individuality, potentially leading to a unique or unconventional self-expression. 

2. Mars and Uranus in a strong aspect to the Rising Sign:
* Strong aspects: Aspects like the conjunction, square, or opposition involving Mars, Uranus, and the rising sign are considered strong influences.
* Interpretation: These aspects suggest a powerful connection between one’s actions (Mars), drive for individuality and freedom (Uranus), and their external self (rising sign).
* Mars-Uranus aspects: These aspects can signify a connection between the need to get what one wants and the need for freedom. Challenging aspects like squares or oppositions might indicate struggles in balancing these desires, potentially leading to impulsive actions or conflicts. Harmonious aspects like trines or sextiles suggest an ability to exercise free will in a balanced way. 

3. Arabian Points involving Mars, Uranus, and the Rising Sign:
* Arabic Parts: These are calculated points in a birth chart based on mathematical formulas involving the positions of planets and other points like the ascendant.
* Significance: While the text provided does not mention specific Arabian Points that involve Mars, Uranus, and the rising sign together, the existence of such points is a possibility within Arabian astrology. Their interpretation would depend on the specific formula used and the resulting sign and house placement in the chart. 

In summary:

When considering a “point of coincidence” involving Mars, Uranus, and the rising sign in a birth chart, it’s about examining how these elements interact and influence one another. A close conjunction of Mars or Uranus to the rising sign indicates a strong impact on personality and self-expression. Aspects between Mars, Uranus, and the rising sign further refine this influence, highlighting how an individual balances their actions, desire for freedom, and presentation to the world. While the research doesn’t detail specific Arabian Points combining these elements, the concept of Arabian Parts suggests the possibility of calculated points that could offer deeper insights into their combined influence. Astrologers would consider the specific degrees, signs, houses, and other aspects involved in a person’s birth chart for a more comprehensive interpretation.

The Black Sun is a powerful and enigmatic symbol that has captivated the imagination of occultists, mystics, and historians alike. Its meaning is as multifaceted as its appearance, ranging from an alchemical symbol of inner transformation to its more controversial appropriation in neo-Nazi circles. The true power of the Black Sun lies not only in its historical applications but also in its metaphysical significance, representing the dark, hidden forces within the universe and the self.

Origins of the Black Sun Symbol

The concept of the Black Sun finds its roots in esoteric traditions and is closely tied to the idea of the sol niger, or “black sun,” a metaphor for the dark phase of alchemical transformation. In alchemy, as C.G. Jung described in his works, the Black Sun represents the nigredo, the first stage in the process of inner transformation. This “blackness” is symbolic of the dissolution of the old self, a confrontation with the shadow, and the necessary step before spiritual rebirth. Jung referred to the Black Sun as a crucial symbol in the journey of individuation, where the soul confronts its unconscious darkness to achieve enlightenment (Jung, C.G. Jung Speaking).

The nigredo parallels modern psychological theories like Dabrowski’s “positive disintegration,” which sees the breakdown of the ego as a pathway to higher personal development (Dabrowski, Theory of Positive Disintegration). The darkness of the Black Sun, rather than a purely destructive force, contains within it the potential for transformation and rebirth.

The Black Sun in Nazi Esotericism

The Black Sun gained significant attention during the Third Reich, specifically within Heinrich Himmler’s occult pursuits at Wewelsburg Castle, the SS’s ideological center. The infamous sunwheel mosaic found in the “Obergruppenführer” Hall is often linked to this Black Sun symbol. Although the symbol itself is older and can be traced to Germanic and ancient symbology, its association with Nazi ideology has left a lasting and contentious legacy (Goodrick-Clarke, Black Sun: Aryan Cults, Esoteric Nazism and the Politics of Identity).

While the Nazi connection has cast a shadow over the symbol, occult circles argue that the Black Sun’s meaning transcends political misappropriations. It represents deeper, esoteric truths about hidden knowledge, inner illumination, and the occult forces that govern both nature and the cosmos (Wilberg, Black Sun: The Occult Power Within All That Is).

Metaphysical and Gnostic Interpretations

In Gnostic traditions, the Black Sun represents an inner power, a luminary of the hidden spiritual realm often referred to as lumen naturae (Wilberg). Rather than viewing darkness as the absence of light, the Black Sun is considered a source of invisible light — metaphysical in nature and often inaccessible to the uninitiated. Helena Blavatsky, in her work The Secret Doctrine, touches upon the concept of the “Central Sun,” which echoes the symbolism of the Black Sun as the ultimate source of creative power, both invisible and cosmic.

This esoteric tradition perceives the Black Sun as part of the eternal cycle of light and dark, creation and destruction. It is not a symbol of malevolence but of the hidden processes of life and death that underlie the universe itself. Similarly, Peter Wilberg expands on this by suggesting that the Black Sun is the source of all occult power, influencing both inner transformation and outer realities (Wilberg, Black Sun).

The Black Sun in Modern Culture

Beyond its historical and metaphysical implications, the Black Sun has appeared in contemporary culture, music, literature, and media. From its references in Gnostic and Nazi esotericism to its inclusion in pop culture, the Black Sun remains a symbol of mystery and power. Bands like Death in June and Coil have invoked its imagery, and the symbol has appeared in works of fiction like James Twining’s The Black Sun and video games such as Wolfenstein (Goodrick-Clarke).

Conclusion

The Black Sun, despite its controversial associations, remains a potent symbol in both occult and modern contexts. Its true significance lies beyond the political sphere, residing in the realm of the mystical and metaphysical. Whether as a representation of the unconscious shadow in Jungian psychology or the source of hidden cosmic power in Gnostic teachings, the Black Sun invites us to explore the depths of inner transformation, the mystery of the cosmos, and the esoteric forces that lie beyond the veil of the visible world.
