Join us virtually for a Monday Night Philosophy conversation with Kitty Ferguson about the life and scientific theories of Stephen Hawking, whom she first met in 1988. That encounter began her mid-life transition from being a professional singer, music teacher and Juilliard graduate to an explainer of difficult scientific concepts and Hawking’s biographer. We will also discuss her nine other books, which she wrote in the clearest possible manner, translating from the “language” of mathematicians, scientists, and other experts into the language of the rest of us, without dumbing down the ideas. There is nothing more Pythagorean than that combination of clarity, theoretical science and music, and Ferguson’s childhood and family life, even more than her formal education, prepared her well for merging all three talents.

Kitty Ferguson: Stephen Hawking’s Biographer Hears the Music of the Spheres

On Thursday May 28th, 2014 the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon willreview the 2008 book "The Music of Pythagoras" by musicologist KittyFerguson. This is a wonderfully erudite and deeply meaningful book onthe accomplishments, and lasting influence of the most important of thepre-Socratean philosophers, and perhaps the most important ancientavatar of the Western Esoteric Tradition. As a musicologist Ferguson isable to fully expound on the master's development of "The Music of theSpheres" from mythical Orpheus through Kepler to Close Encounters of theThird Kind (we can all whistle that one). The Pythagorean harmoniousuniverse of music, mathematics, and geometry has been re-validated inmodern times with the advent of new theories in quantum physics. It was,of course, the bed rock of Qabalah, Alchemy and Magick. We willdemonstrate some applications of the Pythagorean magical scale used toactivate psychic centers (chakras) and discuss the employment of thesetechniques in magical operations. So tune in, tune up and we'll singalong with the planets.
