Piercing the Eggshell Barry Hopewell

After the failure of the Third Reich, many young people in central Europe were drawn to try to understand the inner nature of people. Among them were the young Bruno & Louise Huber, who met in 1952 in Stuttgart. They were immediately attracted and discovered a common interest in psychology, spirituality and astrology. They wanted to change the world in these areas, and soon married with that in mind.

This book tells of their explorations into astrology and the human psyche, particularly with Professor Roberto Assagioli, the founder of psychosynthesis, and how their ambition was eventually realised through the establishment of the Swiss Astrological Psychology Institute and international schools in the English- and Spanish- speaking areas of the world.

Their new astrological psychology represented a revolution in astrology, and a new approach to psychological and spiritual development. The birth chart became an aid to growth, enabling the piercing of the shell of the habitual ego towards a more spiritual way of life.

This is the story of Bruno & Louise Huber, and many who studied with and were inspired by them.
