Karl Pribram (Sun, Uranus, Mercury Triple conjunction)

Pribram's contribution to neuropsychology is about as important to new paradigm thought as any researcher's. In the 1960's and 1970's, Pribram created a new model of the mind which suggested that mental states are distributed in an interference pattern, not in localized parts of the brain—the

prevailing theory of his day. His model, the holographic or holonomic model of the brain, has brought up profound questions concerning the mind and its relationship to the body: Is the mind a by-product of the brain, or do they merely interact? Is the brain more of a receptor of consciousness than it is a generator of consciousness? Where does consciousness come from, and what is consciousness, really?
The holographic model has been a rallying cry for many advancers and researchers in the frontiers of the new paradigm. For some, Pribram's model of the brain is evidence that the assumptions of esoteric thinkers were indeed correct—that "parts" of reality contain the "whole" of reality. That is, information of large-scale systems—the cosmos, for instance—are contained within the parts of the system—the individuals like you and me.

Jean Houston (Sun Uranus Grand Trine with Neptune and Mars)

| Jean Houston |

Houston describes herself as only a Sun-Uranus individual could: "A leading pioneer in the exploration of human potentials and human consciousness." This guru to senator Hillary Clinton and author of several new paradigm titles is undeniably one of the leading figures in the New Age.
|
|
A rebel against the confines of her Christian Science upbringing (but nonetheless highly influenced by these ideas as a youth), Houston has popularized the use of altered states of consciousness as a means of evolving and transforming humanity.
Houston is the archetypal Sun-Uranus individual nonpareil. A synthesizer, experimenter, trickster, futurist, and rebel, Houston displays all the classic traits of an individual whose essential identity has been asked to carry the flames of mental creativity for all humanity. Every bit the unbounded Renaissance woman, Houston's only limitations may be the public's thirst for perennial wisdom wedded with New Age experimentalism.
*****
Sun-Uranus individuals are scientists, not in the sense of white smock nerds working in a laboratory but in the expanded sense of seekers of truth and seekers of what will improve the condition of humanity. Sun-Uranus individuals actively and boldly seek out the secrets of heaven and earth through esoteric systems, through metaphysics, through religion—anything that will give them a glimpse of the fire of truth in this world that so often veils authenticity and essence. Science, in its truest sense, is any form of knowledge that liberates and advances the human condition. From this vantage point, the new paradigm thinkers are scientists rebelling against the limiting structures of a paradigm that no longer excites, stimulates, or asks the right questions. The open-mindedness, tolerance, inquisitiveness, and, most importantly, the desire for truth drives the Sun-Uranus individual to harness more profound answers to tougher questions for the sake of culture and humanity.
