Consciousness Con Carne: A Fresh Look at Astrology, Reincarnation, ET, and Ascension

Death and birth. Disincarnation and reincarnation.

Across cultures, the cycle of returning is viewed with reverence, skepticism, or awe—but wherever we stand, the mysteries of rebirth contain truths that stretch beyond our expectations. What if the familiar story of “ascension” is only half of the picture?

We often look upward, yearning for transcendence and cosmic expansion. Yet, as Renaissance astrologer Marsilio Ficino taught, the cosmos also resides within each of us. Spirit reaches for the stars while soul draws their light down into the body. Astrology is not only a map of destiny, it is a living library of powers always at hand. The planets are not distant or abstract. They are allies, each with distinct strengths, waiting in our “pockets” to be summoned like secret agents when life requires courage, compassion, wisdom, or resilience. With practice, we can call on Mars for action, Venus for harmony, Saturn for discipline, or Jupiter for vision, engaging the archetypes as if they were superheroes ready to step into the story of our lives.

In this provocative lecture, world-renowned astrologer Rick Levine invites you on an immersive journey through astrology, reincarnation, and expanded states of consciousness. We’ll explore Mercury’s role as psychopomp—a guide between worlds—along with Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto’s roles in the reincarnation cycle. We’ll learn insights from The Tibetan Book of the Dead and the Bardo states, along with the entheogenic breakthroughs of Timothy Leary and Ram Dass. We’ll look at the intersections of depth psychology, hypnosis, and past-life regression—asking how these diverse threads illuminate the great mystery of being.

Join us for a presentation that bridges astrology, science, spirituality, and imagination. Together, we’ll question and explore what it means to live with “consciousness con carne”—spirit made flesh, and flesh infused with the cosmos.
