Heath Trial is an independent writer, researcher, philosopher, native Texan, and a Son of the American Revolution. He graduated with a B.A. English degree with honors from the University of Minnesota, Michigan State University and the University of Phoenix, respectively. He has been studying the astrological degrees for nearly three decades, having been converted to their importance with a Eureka experience in the late 1990s. His conversion moment was a first reading of The Zodiac Image Handbook by Helene Koppejan. Correspondence with Helene, as well as an in-person visit with her in Glastonbury, England followed shortly after. From that time to now, a sense of obligation to bring true cosmic wisdom to the masses has become a mission. Heath resides in Austin, Texas.
Eight paths lead to Omega, the evolutionary completion-point intuited by paleontologist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. These paths are:
1. The NDE (Near-Death Experience);
2. UFO close encounters;
3. ‘altered states’ of consciousness;
4. spirituo-yogic practices;
5. the 12-Step addiction-recovery process;
6. spontaneous ‘cosmic-consciousness’ epiphanies;
7. shamanic vocation; and
8. donning Urania’s Mantle—which is the process of assimilating every astrological degree.

A byproduct of this assimilation is to be lifted up, to ascend, to become a visionary leader with sights set firmly on the firmament. It is to ‘crack the cosmic egg’ in the highest and best sense possible. ‘Heading toward Omega’ is an upward movement, a heavenward movement. Of course it is. All sages past and present have known this. ‘Tomorrow people’ exist in our midst, as they always have. You may be one of them. Let The Astrological Degrees be your guidebook as you learn to navigate the new, exhilarating realities cosmic understanding brings you. You will need it to help offset the uncertainties of the 21st Century. You will need it to ‘break out’ into new, expanded realities. Omega is fast approaching; use heavenly insights to reclaim the Singular stature you’ve always known yourself to have and be.
