Monday Nov 16 th 2009 Chris Largent : "Is astrology, when describing patterns of personality and future trends, fatalistic? Do astrologers assume that some events are just fated? And are these caused by some notion of past-life karma? Or is there another way to think about the destinies of individuals and communities? This alternative is what we will be discussing on the show that night." Chris Largent has taught university-level philosophy and comparative religion for nearly forty years, lectured all over the United States, Canada, and England, and founded the Seventh Academy (www.theseventhacademy.org). He’s given seminars at the New York Open Center, the World Future Society, the World Business Academy, and the Omega Institute. Chris has also been a consultant to business and government as well as a hypnotherapist and a philosophical counselor, using classical methods from dream interpretation to transformative astrology, which he has studied for 35 years and used professionally for 20 years.
