The Spiritual Dimension of the Beatles
I am pleased to announce the release of The Spiritual Dimension of The Beatles! The price is $29.95, with an additional $7.00 for domestic orders (for packaging and shipping through media mail). These days, international shipping is very expensive! Due to the size of the book (2.5 pounds), it costs $30 (and I wish it would be more reasonable….) Please allow several business days for the book to arrive–they have to be ordered, printed and sent, and mail is slower these days. Thank you for your interest.
About the Book
The Spiritual Dimension of The Beatles is a comprehensive discussion of the musical phenomenon from a metaphysical perspective. Informed by astrological research, Eric Meyers takes the reader through the familiar story in an entirely new way. The spiritual work of the musicians, the band itself and their collective contribution is thoroughly addressed. The book is uniquely organized to be accessible to both a general and astrological audience.
Included are analyses of significant biographical events, every album and many of their songs. Written in an engaging storytelling manner, broader philosophical, psychological and spiritual themes are brought directly into the context of the well known music, animating another layer to their message. The astrological conditions in the 1960s welcomed intuitive insight, a seed time to bring a vision forward. The Beatles story involves the development towards that promise and the grounding of a mature vision for humanity. Their example illustrates distinct stages of evolutionary growth: from the adolescence of the early days, to the inspired works in the middle period, to the individuation phase at the end. Woven through the song catalog are several themes that intertwine and illuminate a broader mosaic of meaning.
The music reveals striking insight into our existential situation, including inspired teachings. Inspiration breaks down to “spirit in action,” which has profound metaphysical relevance. Where do we get our inspiration? What is the nature of it? Could Beatles music be divinely inspired? This study hypothesizes that these songwriters had a special and sacred relationship to sources of inspiration, particularly involving the idea of the muse.
The Spiritual Dimension of The Beatles is both mind-blowing and heart-warming; it’s a study of loss, grief, reunion, healing and redemption. The implications are profound, challenging us to ponder the nature of death, the afterlife, the bridging of worlds and soul contracts. The Beatles took the world by storm and changed the course of music and culture. And they just may have been assisted by something both meaningful and miraculous.
Endorsements
“The Spiritual Dimension of the Beatles is a magical work that weaves a flying carpet by threading astrological awareness into the extraordinary journey of John, Paul, George, and Ringo. Eric Meyers takes the reader on an exhaustive and encyclopedic deep dive into the spiritual condition of the sixties as reflected by these four lads from Liverpool, their influences, and important key players. Consideration of each of their albums and detailed analysis of many of their songs adds layers of understanding to the music that so many of us know so well. If you are a Beatles fan without knowledge of astrology, no problem; you will get much from this book. However, if you are a student of astrology, it contains a wealth of cosmic knowledge. Meyers has combined the music of the Beatles with the music of the spheres. So, get out your Beatles playlist, crank up the sound, and hear the songs in ways you never imagined!“
–Rick Levine, author of Quantum Astrology
“One might question why we need another book on the Beatles, as there have been countless books, films, artistic pieces through the decades. But this one is truly outstanding from a unique perspective, a worthy undertaking that Meyers has chosen to tackle—the psychological, astrological and spiritual dimension of the Beatles. This book is a delight to astrologers who are also Beatle maniacs, a double bonus. Further, this book reveals charts, stories and facts about the Beatles that you will find nowhere else. Thank you, Eric, for writing this book!”
–Arielle Guttman, author of Venus Star Rising: A New Cosmology for the 21st Century
“A treat for Beatlemaniacs young and old, this book explores the history of the ‘greatest band in the world’ from a fresh perspective. Fueled by love and a commitment to in-depth research, Meyers brings unprecedented psychological and astrological insight into the Beatles, their music as well as their message. He illustrates the special alchemy that defined an era and produced music that is still dear to our hearts today.”
–Mark Jones, author of The Planetary Nodes and Collective Evolution
“There’s something special about The Beatles. At least that’s the way many of us feel. While there are other great bands, there always seems to be a little ‘extra’ quality to The Beatles. In this book, Eric Meyers has tried to capture – or at least describe – what that extra factor is. For those who are into The Beatles, it can read like a great conversation about your favorite band, and whether or not you ‘get’ the astrology, you’ll be amazed by Eric’s insights and observations. For astrologers, the book is a treasure chest of startling connections that will astound even seasoned mundane astrologers. The Spiritual Dimension of The Beatles comes about as close as anyone ever has to putting their finger on that ineffable quality of The Beatles, and what they mean to us all.”
–Armand Diaz, author of Integral Astrology
“Right when my young son obsessively delved into the musical world of the Beatles, my friend and colleague, Eric Meyers, was in the middle of writing out his love and fascination for the band in this monumental work. This writing has deep relevance for all who grew up with them, as well as for future generations. Eric demonstrates a mastery for astrological analysis and understanding with a deep and profound level of spiritual understanding and insight. This is a must read for any astrological student and even more so if you are a lover of the Beatles. Be prepared for a ride through time!”
