About Us
Agents of Change – Living on the edge of Chaos!
The Cosmic Intelligence Agency (C*I*A) is a network of individuals living around the world who share a vision of the world soul, the Anima Mundi. Agents of the C*I*A are committed to raising consciousness of the universal energies, the archetypal patterns in our everyday world, that can be observed reflected in the ceaseless cyclic movements of the cosmos.
For millennia, humans have engaged with the cosmic sphere to seek meaning and inspiration. Our relationship to the cosmos has played a major role in the evolution of consciousness and we continue to honour this connection by utilising the concept of the Anima Mundi (World Soul) to support the Hermetic doctrine ‘As Above, So Below’. Anima Mundi is a Latin term describing the universe alive with soul and intelligence and reminds us that every part of the cosmos relates to the whole. By observing the patterns formed by past planetary alignments one can see a consistent correlation to earthly events and how they contribute to the conscious evolution of our planet. Understanding these past archetypal energies and how they have been expressed, we hope to better understand what lies ahead and prepare to steer ourselves in positive directions, personally and globally. At the C*I*A we see astrology as a wonderful ‘global navigation system’ which we can use to develop a more meaningful understanding of time.
The C*I*A and it’s connotations with the CIA (as in the American intelligence service founded in 1947) is in itself a paradox. What it symbolises to us is a movement that can work effectively behind the scenes, using astrology to encourage the development of conscious awareness of global trends, and helping to create a connection to the deeper mysteries of the universe. We do the work of ‘good agents’ in a world where astrology is often maligned, misunderstood and misinterpreted. This alternative C*I*A and its many dedicated agents wish to promote an intelligent, well-informed and inspirational attitude to astrology, a view that astrology informs and reframes many situations and dilemmas. We wish to further enhance and circulate this ancient, yet in a sense, very modern divinatory system which carries deep and profound wisdom and intelligence and share it with others. The cosmic outlook is freely observable and available to describe, interpret and share for all, quite the opposite of the sinister antics of the CIA with their alleged need for secrecy and control in the name of protecting Americans. We hope that it is readily seen that there is nothing sinister or hidden in our use of the C*I*A acronym, except perhaps a gentle attempt at satire. The C*I*A is about doing an important job, one where everyone can join in and together we can help change the world for the better. A truly cosmic conspiracy!!
Headquarters is manned predominantly by Agent 12 and Agent 37, who together manage the website, the editing and writing most of the articles, the production of videos and quarterly reports. However the C*I*A have many dedicated agents living around the globe who help spread the word and who participate when they can with their own contributions and networking. See Agent Profiles.
We see ourselves as “Agents of Change – living on the edge of Chaos”. We understand that to create the changes necessary in this world it is important to understand that reality exists at the blurry edge between order and chaos and it is here that we find the dance of energy that we know as life-spirit or Chi. Conscious choice is forever at the boundary between the past and the future, what was and what will be, order and disorder. Chaos awaits intelligent interaction and at the C*I*A we see astrology as a cosmic link to co-creating the future, and a guide to universal wisdom.
