Evangeline Adams is one of the most notable American astrologer of all time. Her career hit its pinnacle when she went to trial for practicing astrology, which the court considered fortune telling. The case was successfully thrown out and she was not convicted. In fact many prominent people came to her rescue and gave testimony to her character and value of her work. She did quite a bit of astrological work of course, but it’s her later work that she is most known for, as it was on the national level.

She perhaps is most famous for being the astrologer to J.P. Morgan who publically stated he used astrology in his business deals. Her clients included the wealthy and the middle class. Even her later work was of course early 20th century, with her death being in 1932. So, that means that much of her earlier work was in the late 19th century. What was it like to work as astrologer back then? You have the work you do in person, and then it’s said that she did work by mail as well and had a radio show.

You know about her books and her predictions, but that wasn’t until later. She became a certain type of public figure later whose few predictions that came true would stand, she is accredited with making astrology popular in the early 1900’s. Some of the predictions of Evangeline Adams include the stock market crash of 1929, World War II, the prediction of presidents as well as the astrology practice of everyday matters which include finding dates for important events.

Another interesting fact about Evangeline Smith Adams is that while she never married and never needed to rely on a man for financial support in a time when woman were not expected to work outside of the home. There is more to the story than that, she was extremely successful business woman. Although she pursued her career as a famous astrologer many people expected that she was a very gifted psychic. There are many accounts of her being able to tell an individual facts and details of their life that would be considered out of the normal range of a traditional astrology reading. Whether a straight astrologer or astrologer with deep intuitive side she made a deep impact for woman and astrology.

To those who do not know him, Joseph Campbell is, in a few short words, a hero to mythology. Hero in the sense that he took the truth out of the story – comparing different mythological stories from all over the world, to pare them to their most basic teachings, whilst drawing parallels in real life.

You can easily find the whole breadth and depth of his teachings in the book The Hero With A Thousand Faces, which is a compilation of all his works. From an early age, Campbell had been an avid reader of mythology, not just of the Greeks but those of different cultures in different parts of the world. Beginning with his main book you can get a good intro to his works and then discover the vastness of the different spiritual truths when you read more about the ageless wisdom of other cultures and their myths.

The sum of Josephs teachings can be summed up in these words: The hero on his journey to following his bliss. He maintains that bad experiences or challenges are really nothing more than starting points to arriving at what we need to do in this lifetime, and getting from Point A to Point B, from rising above the challenges to becoming the person we need to be is called the heros journey..

All stories in the world have a heros journey attached them when simple men and women are posed with seemingly insurmountable challenges, only to conquer after a deep journey within. .

Campbell states that there is a parallelism to the mythological stories and that of real life. Thus, challenges or problems should be dealt with some degree of detachment – they are merely triggers that send us down the path to bliss, that is if we rise up to the challenge and become what we need to be..

Another of Campbells teachings is that there are spiritual truths buried in every story. Take, for example, the King Arthur story where a horse had to be cut in half in order to enter into a magical kingdom. The mythologist scoffs at literal interpretation. For him, the story is all about discarding the physical body and physical attachments in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment. .

Campbells works have been cited as a reference by different modern authors, including New York bestselling author David Wilcock, whose books include The Source Field Investigations and The Synchronicity Key, which tackles the overwhelming evidence for deliberate synchronicity as against happy coincidences.

Life can be immensely difficult, and it’s often hard to find answers on what you should be doing or where you should head in the future. Everyone you talk to seems to want to make it about themselves and slant your concerns towards their own agenda. It’s immensely frustrating at times, especially when you feel lost and are simply in need of a little guidance.

That is the exact position I found myself in, time and time again. After finally growing tired of it, I decided to simply take the reins and do a bit of “soul searching.” Talk like that can be easy to dismiss if you’re the cynical sort, but in all reality it does actually make a difference. We all live in our own head-space and see the world through unique perspectives. As far as coming to terms with where you’ve been, where you are, and where you’re going, the best possible place to turn to for answers or guidance is within yourself. Keep it real Astrology revealed to me my inner source, it was shown to be a reflection of my true inner being, higher self and gave me the confidence to do what I came onto the planet to do.

No matter what dilemma you’re facing, it’s as simple as accepting it and then calmly thinking it through from there. If you’ve struggled to forgive yourself for some mistake you made, you have to simply realize it’s in the past. Face it head on. It’s done, so what can you do to improve yourself now and in the future? A lot of the time, a mere shift of perspective is really all that’s necessary to make serious headway on even the most serious of issues you might be struggling with.

It took a long time to come to this understanding, but it finally clicked one day after endlessly realizing that things aren’t as I wanted them to be. I’d always focused so much on what was wrong and how that was making me feel as opposed to what I could do about it or what I needed to change to avoid falling into all of the same old destructive patterns over and over again.

Now, I truly feel I have a better sense of inner peace than ever before. I’m relying less on others to give me my own sense of worth. I’m accepting my own responsibility and taking “fate” into my own hands. If I mess up, I dust myself off and get right back out there. It’s hard to keep a calm enough attitude not to panic when things aren’t quite right, but if you simply focus on acceptance and moving on from there, you’ll eventually find yourself capable to grow and take on whatever new challenges each day may bring.

In a perfect world, those who are choosing to be spiritual would be religious. However, in today’s world, many are walking out of the doors of the churches vowing to never return. Does this make them no longer believers?

The short answer to this question is “no”. However, it’s much more complicated than that. In fact, just because someone chooses not to attend church, doesn’t mean that they’re not spiritual.

Is there something missing? Is it perhaps the minister, rabbi’s, priests or bishops fault? This is a complicated question.

Many people are seeking something but not finding it. So they go church hopping in hopes that perhaps they’re just missing it in the first few churches that they’ve tried. For some, this will ultimately end them up where they belong, for others, it will become a journey that ends them up as a spiritual person that isn’t religious.

So is there a gaping hole? Is there really something missing? Or, is it simply that churches of today are no longer a perfect fit like yesteryear?

Perhaps what they are truly searching for is answers to why there is so much poverty in America. Why is there so much uncertainty?

In their quest to be more spiritual, they find out more often than not that they don’t have to hearken the doors of a church to find peace and comfort.

By helping others and by focusing on being a part of the solution in lieu of the problem, they are finding that they can fulfill that hole in their sense of being.

In their quest for answers to some really tough questions, they’ve found that the answer is right in front of them and it doesn’t involve a brick and mortar church to be effective.

Too many churches of today are looking down on the poor and weak. They are creating more of an issue by judging and condemning instead of helping those who have less.

Instead of reaching out, they are recoiling afraid of the homeless. They aren’t recognizing that that homeless person may have lost many great friends in the war and been so deeply affected by it that they are unable to hold down a job and thus, unable to secure a safe home for themselves.

Being spiritual and not religious is facing the truth about such situations and instead of watching from afar, these folks are choosing to be a part of the solution.

So, with that said, continue reading and learning about astrology, since it can truly help you to understand yourself and your loved ones.
