Liquid Light of Sex offers a new theory about the ideal timing of<br >human maturation based on an astrological causal principle. It exam-<br >ines kundalini rising as akeybody dynamic that is activated as the body<br >matures， and this thesis is based upon ten years of observing， as a<br >therapist， the classic symptoms of kundalini rising--which sometimes<br >manifest as spiritual emergency--according to planetary movements.<br >You will be able to consider this theory for yourself， check its accuracy<br >regarding your own timing by means of tables， and think about the<br >larger implications of what I ve discovered by reading chapter 8，<br >"Toward a Global Shamanic Paradigm." Also， you can see my theory in<br >relation to energetics medicine by reading Dr. Richard Gerber s excel-<br >lent introduction to the text.<br > As this book gets ready to go to press， I d like to speculate on the<br >philosophicalimplications of what I have discovered. My need to create<br >such a context has resulted from discussions I have recently had with<br >two extremely brilliant thinkers of our times， cultural historian William<br >Irwin Thompson and theologian Timothy Sedgwick. Bill and Tim are<br >both individuals who are deeply skeptical of what I propose here， and<br >yet they are also capable of looking deeply into ideas that challenge the<br >basis of their own thought， regardless of the consequences. In their<br >remarkable abilities to consider all possibilities， Bill and Tim have<br >allowed that there might be some astrological and astronomical influ-<br >ence on human behavior. They were both fascinated when I told them<br >that astronomer Dr. Percy Seymour had published an astronomical<br >causal theory for astrological influences.<br > Thompson and Sedgwick live and create hoping for the greatest<br >possible development of the human， and they are also deeply skeptical<br >of any system of thought about human behavior that is deterministic.<br >This is because such theories usually result in "misplaced concrete-<br >ness，" a tendency in thought coined by Bill， or because such theories<br >X///<br ><br >
