2-Andrew, & All, Mark Kincaid....Science of 'Astrology'...'....10/22

[Guest guest]

Dear Andrew:

 

I think that's partially why God created a scientific age, so we could learn

how to reconcile differences in Philosophy, subjective view points, even

mysticism...

 

I remember so clearly reading about all the ideas that people 'held'

pre-science, and no wonder nature said...'whoaaaaaaa'..... we've got to do

something here....

hehhee

 

 

Good points you make, thanks for the thoughts re. Arabian Astrology too.

 

I think that's why I've loved studying the actual movements of the stars,

via. the 'transits', because after a few months, you can so very clearly

'experience' so many of the Astrological ideas.

 

take care

On the origins of Vedic astrology please see:

On Ibn 'Arabi and astrology please see:

 

http://www.yeatsvision.com/Mansions.html

 

N.B.: 'Ibn 'Arabi's...cosmos gives a theoretical explanation of the

tropical system of the Zodiac, placing the Towers of the Zodiac in the

Sphere of the Starless Sky, above that of the Sphere of the Fixed

Stars, and below the Sphere of the Divine Pedestal and the Sphere of

the Divine Throne. Effectively he, therefore, gives the equinoxes

precedence over the precession of the stars, and ties the First Point

of Aries to the Vernal Equinox, which is seen as closer to the first

movers than the 'fixed' stars.'

 

Not all mystics share the same vision or arrive at the same

conclusion....but that's mysticism for you!

 

Andrew
