New Online Format for A.U. Courses

This fall Atlantic University begins its new online format. A semester is shortened from 6months to 15 weeks and students will meet as a group online for more collegial study.

Atlantic University Subtle Energy Experiments

By Allison Carlson & Lisa Frish

Focus on a burning candle about 5 feet in front of you. Make sure you are sitting comfortably and your spine is straight. Look at the flame and keep your eyes half open during the exercise. Once you are settled evoke the feeling of the energy ball between your hands. If you find it difficult to make the energy ball just imagine yourself removing the flame from the candle and placing the warmth of that flame at the root chakra. This may create a warm, tingling feeling or a vibration in the root chakra. Hold the flame there for a short while and then begin to move it.

Embracing Menopause: A Transpersonal Approach

By Lynda Wisdo

As a nearly post-menopausal woman who experienced a quite lengthy "menopause from hell", I can truly attest to the power of the mind in its ability to wreck havoc within the body.  Hot flashes, cold flashes, severe anxiety, panic attacks, trembling, a racing pulse, sky-rocketing blood pressure and not-even-a-wink-of-sleep insomnia ... all of this and more can be experienced during a severe menopausal crisis.  But what, you may ask, is the cause of all of this mayhem?  Is it all in a woman's mind? 

Hand Wash Cold

By Karen Maezen Miller

When I was thirty-five, I looked up one day and realized that I hadn't had a life. I'd had a lot of things. I had a husband and a marriage. We had two late-model cars, two high-speed careers, and a two-story house on an oak-lined street. I had everything I ever thought I wanted, and much more than I needed. What I did not have was happiness.  Or laundry.

The Deja Vu Enigma

By Marie D. Jones and Larry Flaxman

It comes on without warning. It can happen at any time, in any place, with any one. Suddenly, you get that eerie feeling of "I've been here before." Yet, you are certain that this is the first time you have ever set foot in such a place. Maybe you are in the midst of a conversation, and realize that you have spoken those very same words before, to the very same person now standing before you. But there is no possible way you could have. Deja vu anyone?

Jung himself, I have to say, would have grumbled about most New Age philosophy, as it is sadly naive and lacking the kind of rigor he applied to his own work. And I should add that there is nothing new about a New Age as the idea has a long history in the West; Jung himself was talking about one in 1940, and he was one of the first to spread the idea of a coming "Age of Aquarius," which he identified through his study of astrology.

The human skeleton is an ideal aerial for transmitting and receiving the radio wavelength equivalent of the pre-electromagnetic spectrum, i.e., thought. Each individual has a unique "carrier wave pattern," to which signals are added according to intention, action, and result. The aerial is flexible and movement at the joints provides various alignments that channel the signals and thereby alter the efficiency of transmission and reception.

Can the Movie "Inception" Make You Smarter?

Devon White writes, "It's almost impossible to explain what I do. But now that Inception has come out, when people ask me what I do I simply say, 'Did you see Inception? Good. I do that. I plant inceptions. Except the people aren't asleep. And it always feels good.'"

The Occult and the Making of America

Mitch Horowitz writes, "In my book Occult America, I enter this discussion by arguing that the nation's occult and esoteric religious movements of the eighteenth, nineteenth, and early twentieth centuries shaped today's culture of therapeutic spirituality, and helped spread widely held liberal attitudes about religion."

Albert Einstein on Religion

The genius writes, "Everything that the human race has done and thought is concerned with the satisfaction of felt needs and the assuagement of pain. One has to keep this constantly in mind if one wishes to understand spiritual movements and their development. Feeling and desire are the motive forces behind all human endeavour and human creation, in however exalted a guise the latter may present itself to us."
