Beschreibung

Thunder Beasts explores the fascinating role of storm and sky deities across diverse cultures, revealing how these powerful figures shaped ancient societies and continue to resonate today. By examining mythology, religion, and natural phenomena, the book uncovers universal human attempts to understand and control nature's unpredictable forces. Intriguing is the book's comparative approach, illustrating parallels between figures like Zeus with his thunderbolt and Thor wielding his mighty hammer, revealing shared motifs of power and retribution.

 
The book investigates how thunder beasts manifested as physical representations of natural forces, acted as agents of divine justice, and psychologically impacted believers. Starting with comparative religion and folklore, it builds a foundation for understanding these figures. Progressing across chapters, the book first explores archetypal characteristics, then examines specific cultural examples, and finally analyzes the social and psychological functions of these beliefs, demonstrating how they explained natural disasters and enforced social order.

 
The study of these myths provides insights into the psychology of fear, the construction of social norms, and the roots of modern environmental awareness. By blending historical analysis with psychological insights, Thunder Beasts offers a holistic understanding of these figures and their impact on culture.

    You know how your partner or colleague typically reacts, but with this book, you will also understand their fundamental motives. This way, you can avoid many arguments that follow the same pattern as the last time you disagreed. The same logic will help you in the future when completing a task for your boss. When dealing with customers, you will instinctively know whether they seek something innovative or reassurance about their purchase. In addition to being able to read others’ thoughts, you will also understand how people perceive you. 
    The book is logically structured and easy to understand. It includes many practical examples of the four different roles we all take on. As you read, you won’t be able to help but think of the various people you interact with—and you will see them in a whole new light. The book has been developed over many years through team-building exercises, where participants have defended their behavior in demanding and complex collaborations. You will feel proud of yourself and your behavior when you realize the unconscious values that guide you. Unfortunately, not everyone shares your values. 
    Do you know the feeling of just clicking with certain people? Feeling a sense of connection with them? You can experience that same feeling with many others, even if they seem different from you. Even those closest to us may not share the same values, which is why differing opinions and decisions can lead to conflict. But imagine if you saw it as an advantage to be with someone who has different values—and therefore different strengths. Together, you can achieve so much more. 
    As normal human beings, we often focus on the personal traits that we struggle with the most when interacting with others. The problem is that we tend to see the downside of these traits and not the person's strengths.

    Guy W. Ballard (July 28, 1878-December 29, 1939) and his wife, Edna Anne Wheeler Ballard, founded the I AM Movement. Ballard served in the US Army in World War I and then became a mining engineer. Both he and Edna studied theosophy and the occult extensively. In 1930 Ballard visited Mount Shasta in California, where he met another hiker who identified himself as the Count of St. Germain. These experiences are recorded in the three books Ballard wrote using the pen name Godfre Ray King. The I AM movement was one of the most successful, flamboyant, and controversial of the late 1930s. Ballard's teachings form the original nucleus for what are today called the Ascended Master Teachings and are still being taught by I AM sanctuaries all over the world.
