What happens when a Jungian analyst who has spent over 40 years researching alchemy writes a fictional saga based on the ancient art? Listen in as Robert Bosnak describes the debut of his thrilling 5-novel series filled with intrigue, magic, love,and passion, and founded on historical documents about the act of turning lead into gold. Set in the 17th century when science is on the ascendance and alchemy is in retreat, this story is about the miraculous Red Sulphur—the so-called philosophers' stone—and the lives of those who have dedicated themselves to the fantastic art.

Robert Bosnak grew up in Holland and has studied alchemy for over 40 years. He is a senior Jungian psychoanalyst with a practice in Los Angeles and is the author of 5 books of non-fiction in the fields of dreaming and creative imagination translated into over a dozen languages.

He developed a method called embodied imagination, used widely in psychotherapy and applied worldwide to a variety of creative endeavors. The Red Sulphur saga is his first published work of fiction. He lives in the mountains of Santa Barbara.

$Isis Code: Revelations from Brain Research & Systems Science An interview with author Ariane Page by Bonnie Bright, Ph.D. Carl Gustav Jung has visualized wholeness in the collective unconscious and its archetypes. Quantum physicist David Bohm saw it in what he named theimplicate order which sustains, guides and organizes energy. Not surprisingly also, as it is in all of us, perennial traditions intuitively expressed it through their myths, legends and even used it efficiently in their medical systems. Most importantly, it is consequently expressed through the brain, an obvious fractal aspect of it. This brain being also an observable physical object, a consensus becomes possible as to the model at its origin. Putting these together, Ariane Page in her book Isis Code describes this ultimate model as the LIFE biosystem (Law Inherent to the Five Elements). Join me with Ariane Page for a stimulating and informative conversation that covers a range of topics including Carl Jung, depth psychology, nature, biology, neuroscience, and the elusive quality of oneness. Ariane Page was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. She studied and worked in communications as an assistant director for CBC TV Montreal for such renown television shows as Femme dAujourdhui (Todays Woman) and La Semaine Verte (The Green Week). Since two of her siblings had physical handicaps her interest in health sciences was always strong and she became a hygienist-naturopath and managed a natural health clinic for over 30 years. She also studied Education Science at Nanterre University in Paris, France. She is a member of the ISSS (International Society for the Systems Science). In Paris, she studied naturopathy, psychosomatic medicine, studied and taught yoga and provided relaxation sessions to groups and pregnant women. Over time, Ariane followed her interests in Jungian psychology, religious traditions, relationships, art, systems science, and brain research. This resulted in the elaboration of the LIFE biosystem for which Isis Code is the reference book. Ariane now lives in Quebec, where she offers personal consultations on LIFE biosystems applications.
