The rising interest in goddess spirituality expresses our current need to understand the feminine side of God, the Sophia (or Divine Wisdom), and her relationship to the masculine aspects of God. Offering a new perspective, the author draws on his own research and on the teaching of Russian philosopher Pavel Florensky, according to whom Sophia has a relationship to the masculine Trinity as an independent spiritual being. Robert Powell discusses Sophia as a Trinity-as Mother, Daughter, and Holy Soul- and as the feminine aspect of Divine Godhead. He connects our reawakening to the feminine aspect of God with many of the changes now taking place in the world. Also included is an introduction to the Divine Feminine by Daniel Andreev, author of The Rose of the World.

Robert Powell argues persuasively and elegantly for the usefulness of formal models in studying international conflict and for the necessity of greater dialogue between modeling and empirical analysis. Powell makes it clear that many widely made arguments about the way states act under threat do not hold when subjected to the rigors of modeling. In doing so, he provides a more secure foundation for the future of international relations theory.Powell argues that, in the Hobbesian environment in which states exist, a state can respond to a threat in at least three ways: (1) it can reallocate resources already under its control; (2) it can try to defuse the threat through bargaining and compromise; (3) it can try to draw on the resources of other states by allying with them. Powell carefully outlines these three responses and uses a series of game theoretic models to examine each of them, showing that the models make the analysis of these responses more precise than would otherwise be possible.The advantages of the modeling-oriented approach, Powell contends, have been evident in the number of new insights they have made possible in international relations theory. Some argue that these advances could have originated in ordinary-language models, but as Powell notes, they did not in practice do so. The book focuses on the insights and intuitions that emerge during modeling, rather than on technical analysis, making it accessible to readers with only a general background in international relations theory.

As human beings, we appear to be at a crossroads in our relationship with everything that exists, and who would disagree that the world in which we live is not as it should be? The merciless exploitation of the scarce resources of this fragile planet, the needless destruction of the environment, the paucity in our relationship with others and all of life is creating a scale of suffering that is unprecedented, and we stumble around in the dark looking for answers that will not appear. Then, when we try to do something, we turn immediately to treating symptoms believing that this will solve the problems. While we may make small strides and feel that something is being achieved, these so-called solutions can only ever be temporary with the situation becoming even worse down the track if we do not approach what we are facing in a new way. We need to understand that instead of treating symptoms we must address causes. If we are serious, and we need to be, then there is no other way, and it begins with us, by looking squarely, sincerely and objectively at ourselves and what we as individuals have become. We need to examine ourselves closely and realise that the root of all our problems is not out there in some external arena, but here, within each one of us. We need to know and understand ourselves and when we do, then the planet and our relationship with each other will begin to change for the better.

Fourth collection from the York-based poet. Then the President Why won't anyone talk to me about Death? There was a long silence. I will, I said stepping forward. The gilded room drained of lackeys, bodyguards, hacks. Then we sat alone and he leaned close, eyes wide, like a child listening to a bedtime story. When we last saw him silhouetted on the dawn sky, the President was a seething pillar black with flies from capital to base; and the bitter air all over our land tasted something like hope something like expiation something like grief.

V rámci tzv. astrologické biografiky popisuje osud člověka v jednotlivých sedmiletích životní spirály a na základě hermeticko-astrologického poznání Rudolfa Steinera i jedinečné aplikace Hermova pravidla podle objevu Williho Suchera zkoumá nové možnosti karmické astrologie. Líčí projevy karmicky spojených lidí, tři druhy pokušení a způsoby jejich překonávání. Na příkladu vztahu mezi Richardem Wagnerem, Friedrichem Nietzschem a Ludvíkem II Bavorským (a na druhé straně mezi Terezií z Ávily, Petrem Z Alcantary a Janem od Kříže, viz srovnávací horoskopy, tabulky atd.) odhaluje pozoruhodné reinkarnační posloupnosti a jejich význam pro lékařskou terapii, umění i společnost.

Hermetická astrologie jako nová věda o hvězdách se obrací na všechny čtenáře, kteří hledají pravou astrologii. Podle poznání Rudolfa Steinera podává úvod do hermetické astrologické kosmologie a otevírá oblast reinkarnace a karmy, která dnešní astrologii chybí. Matematik, astronom a astrolog Robert A. Powell se pomocí hermetické astrologie pokouší sledovat pozemské inkarnace člověka a souvislosti s jeho poznáním na Zemi a současně nahlížet do budoucnosti. Připomíná, že konkrétní znalosti reinkarnace lze uplatňovat pouze za předpokladu morálního vývoje ve spojení s Kristovým impulzem. Znalost je nejen klíčem k astrologii, ale také pomáhá odpovědět na otázky : Kdo jsem? Odkud přicházím? Co je smyslem mého života? Pro všechny čtenáře, kteří v sobě nosí impulz pro novou moudrost o hvězdách, bude tato kniha zajisté dalším podnětem pro jejich spirituální rozvoj. Kniha obsahuje horoskopy Rudolfa Steinera (a jeho předcházející inkarnaci), Marie Steinerové a dalších individualit, tabulky a kresby.
