The Witness of the Stars stands as one of the best explanations of
the constellations in the context of Biblical wisdom. This edition
includes all of E. W. Bullinger's original charts and illustrations
of the heavens above. To compose this book, E. W. Bullinger used
his Biblical scholarship alongside research of the origins of the
astronomical constellations. He demonstrates, through a close
reading of the Old and New Testaments, how each of the star signs
relates to the Bible's stories. Gradually, it is revealed how God
makes himself known to us through the Bible's astronomy. The
symbolism of the star signs are shown as important in the Bible.
Their presence in verse relates not simply to their appearances,
such as Libra's scales or Aries as a ram, but also the way in which
Biblical figures behave after looking at the heavens for guidance.
The Book of Job is highlighted by Bullinger for being significantly
influenced by the stars.
The Heart is the meeting place of the individual and the divine,
the inner ground of morality, authenticity, and integrity. The
process of coming to the Heart and of realizing the person we were
meant to be is what Carl Jung called 'Individuation'. This path is
full of moral challenges for anyone with the courage to take it.
Using Jung's premise that the main causes of psychological problems
are conflicts of conscience, Christina Becker takes the reader
through the philosophical and spiritual aspects of the ethical
dimensions of this individual journey toward wholeness. This book
is a long overdue and unique contribution to the link between
individuation and ethics. Christina Becker, M.B.A. is a
Zurich-trained Jungian Analyst in private practice in Toronto,
Ontario Canada.
