At the end of a star's life, it wraps itself in a cocoon by spilling out gas and dust. Sometime later, a butterfly-like nebula emerges from the cocoon and develops into a planetary nebula. They are among the most beautiful of the celestial objects imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope. Their structures, like bubbles floating in the void, are complemented by a kaleidoscope of colour emitted by glowing gases. Delicate, lacelike, streamers of gas add to their complexity. The production of a planetary nebula by a star is a milestone in the life of a star, an event that foretells the doom of the star when its central energy source runs out. In this book, Sun Kwok tells the story of the discovery process of the creation of planetary nebulae and of the future of the Sun. Full colour illustrations are included throughout the book.

If you have ever wanted to understand the basic principles of astronomy and celestial movements, you should read this book. Using pictures of the sky observed from different places on Earth, as well as drawings of ancient astronomical methods and tools, Prof. Sun Kwok tells this story in an entertaining and fascinating way. Since the beginning of human civilization, people have wondered about the structure of the cosmos and our place in the Universe. More than 2,000 years ago, our ancestors knew that the seasons were unequal, the Earth was an unattached object floating in space, and stars existed that they could not see. From celestial observations, they concluded that the Earth was round. Using simple tools and mathematics, ancient astronomers accurately determined the sizes of the Earth and Moon, the distance to the Moon, and the lengths of the months and year. With a clever device called the armillary sphere, Greek astronomers could predict the times of sunrise and sunset on any day of the year, at any place on Earth. They developed sophisticated mathematical models to forecast Mars’ motions hundreds of years into the future. Find out how ancient observers achieved these remarkable feats. With minimal use of mathematics, this book retraces the footsteps of our ancestors, explains their intellectual journeys in simple terms, and explores the philosophical implications of these discoveries.

This book was released on 2013. Butterflies available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Truly poetic and deeply esoteric, these lectures by Rudolf Steiner have been gathered here in a single volume for the first time, with an in-depth introduction that traces and explains the stages of butterfly metamorphosis. The emergence of the butterfly from its pupa is one of the most moving phenomena we can encounter in nature. We can experience a revelation of spirit in this creature's visible transformations. The butterfly, says Rudolf Steiner, is "a flower blossom lifted into the air by light and cosmic forces." It is a being that develops from and through light, via a process of incorporation and internalization. By gazing into the world of these special and rarefied creatures, we can intuit that they, "ray out something even better than sunlight; they shine spirit light out into the cosmos."

Cosmic Consciousness The Work Cosmic Consciousness is a tetralogy of books: 1) The Awakening 2) The Understanding 3) The Cure 4) The Integral Being, psychographically transmitted by the Blessings and Light Spiritual Team from 2008 to 2016. This work is a way to evolve within a broader awareness of the integrality of Being. In every evolution, several paths appear, and each being will be prepared to follow the most appropriate to its own mission. The following of a certain path will be given by the free will and the preparation of each one. The work is not limited to the threedimensional, it is not limited to the here and now. It has in its essence what is necessary for each dimension, and it will be understood by each being, according to the energetic level in which it is, determined by its own evolution. A work is often not prepared for the present moment of many people, but you can be sure that this work is prepared for these times and for times to come. The divine spark that gave you birth has cosmic integrity, but today it is limited by each individuality. There is no cure if we do not treat the Being in its entirety. Healing is the return of the Being to its own balance in each energetic state of its divine essence, from which it moved away by free will in its multiple existences, transforming its society, its world, the atmosphere where it breathes and thus determining its past, present and future as a multidimensional being. Trace your passage through the extraordinary adventure of life. Eternal journey...
