Guest guest Posted October 22, 2000 Report Share Posted October 22, 2000 >From page 436 of The Ultimate Life Force, by Joseph H. Cater. Posted by Dharmapada Astrology involves the relative positions and relationships of planets in the solar system to each other. These relationships do not seem to be the direct cause of the influences which shape tendencies and destinies; there-fore one must look for another explanation. The logical answer is to be found in the policies of the creators of the planets, or the logos. After all, it is the logos who direct the destiny of humanity and individual humans. Therefore, the influences which are attributed to the relative positions of planets really come from the logos. Planetary positions function as time-tables for coming events. The relative positions are analogous to the bus schedules of a transportation system. Once again, the hermetic axiom enables one to gain a better under-standing of the function and purpose of astrology. Consider a perfectly functioning organization. The directors of this organization are analo-gous to the logos. They are responsible for every aspect of its operation and future, which includes the training, performance, and development of each of its employees. This means that a perfect bookkeeping system must be initiated involving every one of its employees. Every phase of ' each employee's development is carefully planned. Every intelligently planned operation involves a timetable and, in this case, it is infinitely more sophisticated and intricate than any employed in the physical realm. This timetable maintains order in the entire system. Each incarna-tion of every human is carefully planned as to time, place, and potential drives and tendencies of the embodied personality. Such drives and ten-dencies direct him or her into the type of experiences necessary for that individual's achievements in that life. Since the planets are in accurate and stable orbits with precise orbital periods, their relative positions cor-respond to exact time periods. It is logical to expect the logos would use these relative positions for planning the future trends and activities of in-dividuals, countries, organizations and planets. The logos realized that a knowledge of the blueprint in conjunction with the timetable would be beneficial to developing humans. This knowledge was imparted to humanity by incarnating teachers, as has been described in previous chapters. Such teachers may have been either embodied Elders or much older souls than the mainstream of humanity. Astrology is an outline of the overall plan, which the logos have for hu-mans incarnating on a given planet. Each planet has a different destiny, and therefore will have a different astrological system. Since astrology involves a logical and well ordered plan, it follows that astrology may be employed for the charting of future events. Prophets who have given ac- curate and detailed accounts of future events through visions have been able to tune into cosmic computers, which contain blueprints for future plans. Astrology provides a means for doing the same thing by following an orderly system which is mathematically precise. It is apparent that astrology has a scientific foundation as sound as that of any other valid concept. It is also clear the best authorities on the subject still have much to learn about it. The number 12 plays a signifi-cant role in the system. The logos probably use a numbering system based on 12 instead of 10. Some mathematicians have noted that this sys-tem would have definite advantages over the present one. It would great-ly simplify notations and calculations. Interestingly enough, space visi-tors claim that there are 12 planets in this system, including the remnants of a blown-up planet forming the asteroid belt. There are also 12 signs in the zodiac and 12 months in a year. The master and his 12 disciples are probably symbolic of the sun and its 12 planets. It may be that all solar systems follow a similar pattern, and that each has 12 planets. It is clear that those who denounce astrology as a superstition and pseudoscience are displaying crass ignorance, arrogance, and stupidity. This is perhaps the most offensive and obnoxious combination which can be found in human nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
