The Great Wheel: A Commentary on the System of W.B. Yeats' a Vision, Paperback

It is often said in spiritual literature that time and space are an illusion, maya, samsara. But what exactly does this mean? And what implications does it have for how you should live your everyday life? The Great Wheel is an explanation of the System of birth, death, and rebirth which Nobel laureate William Butler Yeats‟ described in his masterpiece, A Vision.

Starting out with a discussion of how you can connect with your true purpose in this life - the reason why you incarnated on the earth at this time - The Great Wheel describes simple techniques you can use (such as past life regressions, probable reality progressions, and recapitulation of present life memories) to glimpse different facets of your Daimon (your oversoul; the totality of who you are), in order to understand clearly how you got to where you are at right now. To live your true life‟s purpose rather than drift along helplessly, it is necessary to see how your present life situation is the end result of decisions which you, yourself, made in other lifetimes and realities.

W.B. Yeats' "System" - a symbolic model of consciousness based upon four levels of memory (ancestral voices = Creative Mind; past lives = Mask; probable realities = Body of Fate; and present life = Will) - is explained in detail, with particular reference to how these levels impinge upon and shape your everyday, moment-to-moment experience: your sense of "who" you are.

An in-depth discussion of twenty-eight personality types (depending upon where you were born in the moon‟s
monthly cycle of phases) illuminates your individual true purpose in incarnating in this life, and helps you to understand where you belong and where you are going.

The Great Wheel concludes with a fascinating explanation of what reality is all about: Mind and Memory, Waking and Dreaming, Change, Familiarity, and the Akashic Records.
