When Stars are Born
When Stars are Born
Summer 2010
" One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star."
Friedrich Nietzsche
You may have noticed that I like to use pictures from the cosmos - and that I like to change them!
The one I have included above is a Hubble Space Telescope image of a star cluster - an area where new stars are forming - named NGC 602 in the Small Magellanic Cloud. The Small Magellanic Cloud is a dwarf galaxy that is a close neighbor to our Milky Way, at "only" about 200,000 light years away!
I chose this image because June marked nine months since I registered the Center for the Development of the Person as an LLC.
As one friend pointed out, June for me was "birthing time" - since nine months after conception is when humans are ready to leave the womb and begin to survive as individuals separate from the mother, it seems only appropriate to think in these terms for any kind of project.
For stars to be created in the universe, it obviously takes a whole different quantity of "time", but I have always loved the analogy that Antonio Mercurio found years ago between the creation of stars and the birth of individual human beings as "Persons - capable of freely and responsibly loving themselves, loving others and receiving love" (as well as the process that occurs within a group of Existential Personalistic Anthropology).
Stars form when a great cloud of unorganized matter begins to condense and heat up until it finally collapses, eventually reaching a point where the hydrogen atoms begin to fuse and the thermonuclear process begins. Radiation, heat and light are emitted - and we have a new star!

News
I have the pleasure to announce that a new book is available for download right here on my blog, on the right hand side bar. It is entitled "Antonio Mercurio's Cosmoartistic Anthropology", written by Emanuele Chimienti, Director of the Institute "Gli Ulissidi" (The Ulysseans) in Lecce, Italy. As you can see, I have also uploaded Antonio Mercurio's Book "Hypotheses on Ulysses" so you can download that as well from here!
Also, I have decided to offer a new type of service, which you will find described on the page "Pathways to Authentic Living".
Another bit of news is that I am currently working on my website at http://www.centerperson.com/. I hope to have that up and running soon, with special pages dedicated to members where we can share ideas, information and especially our stories along our journeys of discovery of Self.

Existential Personalistic Anthropology - Antonio Mercurio's book Hypotheses on Ulysses Available for free download!
Existential Personalistic Anthropology is a theoretical framework developed by Prof. Antonio Mercurio and his collaborators and students at the Sophia University of Rome (SUR) in Rome, Italy, and in the various Institutes and Centers affiliated with it throughout Italy, Europe, Russia and now in the United States of America.
For over 40 years, Prof. Mercurio and his associates have explored the validity of the theories and methodological approaches proposed, and have created a wonderful network of people from all backgrounds who together are committed to becoming Persons, to creating their own lives as Works of Art, and to contributing to the creation of the Life of the Cosmos as a Work of Art as well.
Prof. Mercurio has recently made his book "Hypotheses On Ulysses" available for free download at
This is an ebook version of a work originally published in Italian, recently translated by Martha S. Bache-Wiig. It offers a unique and insightful way of looking at Homer's Odyssey as an ancient book of wisdom, which can offer precious guidance to contemporary humanity in their struggles to transform their traumas and conditioning into opportunities for growth, which is essential to the ability to create "glorious concordance" in the couple relationship. Seen through the lens offered by Prof. Mercurio, who has decades of experience helping people move past the temptation to remain Victims of their trauma and instead become Artists of their own Lives and of the Life of the Cosmos, the Odyssey takes on a completely new meaning and purpose, that can't help but touch profound chords of recognition and inspiration in the hearts and minds of people throughout the world.
