By using the zodiacal mandala I believe I have now accomplished much in integrating the fields of science in improving on Auguste Comte's initial attempt in the 19th century to organize them in a linear fashion. As with my articles "Astrology and the History of Ideas" and "Astrology and Psychology" I have developed a pattern somewhat similar to the periodic table of chemistry in organizing the four basic fields of science in my general attempt in seeking to comprise a theory of everything. This consists of three divisions in each set to connect both vertically and horizontally, correlating each one with one of the twelve consecutive sun signs and using each fixed sign for a basic field of science.
It is to be especially noted that most of these twelve sun sign science subjects follow generally in chronological order as to when they were established, with few exceptions.
As described in my other general works the first two basic fixed signs, Aquarius and Taurus would represent the analytical, logical, objective left-brained side of the zodiac. Mathematics comes first in Aquarius air representing the Greeks and Germans. Next is Physics in Taurus earth representing the English. The last two basic fixed signs, Leo and Scorpio, represent the synthetic, harmonious, subjective, right-brained side of the zodiac. Biology first in Leo fire represents the French. Parapsychology in Scorpio water represents the US/Russia.
I would also like to point out that in compiling this scientific infrastructure the first Aquarius and last Scorpio basic science sets of mathematics and parapsychology would be more abstact and more dependent on the three-part sequence from the (1)fixed sign, to (2) the mutable sign, to finally (3) the cardinal sign relating to: (1) the object, (2) the spacing of the object, and (3) the calculation of the spacing of the object. Whereas the two middle basic science sets of the more concrete Taurus in Physics and Leo in biology would be more dependent on the three-part sequence of ever more complex and larger or more expansive objects. It should also be noted that as they progress from mathematics, to physics, biology, and parapsychology they become ever more complicated and interconnected as science sets. In contrast, another basic connection, this time between between the first Aquarius and second Taurus science sets as well as between the third Leo and fourth Scorpio ones, is that the first part predetermines the second part.
Thus one should note the particular efficacy of abstract mathematics in Aquarius in the spacing of numbers for predicting the spacing of matter in Taurus in concrete physics and hence also the particular efficacy of concrete biology in Leo in physical evolution to the survival of the fittest in predeterming the fact and nature of spiritual evolution in the karmic struggle of abstract parapsychology in religion.
The fixed static Aquarius sign is numbers in general and as nontangible, logical, organizational order as a static object. It can be represented by mathematics, as in the linear series: 1,2,3,4, etc. It was first discovered by the human race at the dawn of history. This was followed by the mutable semistatic Pisces sign as represented by geometry and trigonometry, as in the spatially extended series: w,x,y,z, etc. The spacing of the object is a semistatic form in an intermediate subset. Mutable Piscean geometry was founded by Euclid about 300 BC in Greece.
Trigonometry in turn was founded by Hipparchus also in Greece about 200 BC. The final mathematics subset the dynamic cardinal Aries sign is represented by calculus and chaoplexity theory. as in the ever more complex series: w squared, x cubed, y to the fourth power, z to the fifth power, etc.; in this subset the calculation of the spacing of the object is a dynamic function. Calculus was founded by Newton around the l660's. Chaoplexity probably had roots back then too, though I'm not sure of its actual history. The last two subjects should be represented as analytical functions in describing the dynamics of numbers in analysis. They shade into a self-assembling new matter field in fixed Taurus as numbers. They form a dynamic, abstract, symmetrical, prematter arrangement as with the four forces in complex, linear, number symmetry in physics.
The next set is the fixed static Taurus sign as matter in general. This is static, tangible, empirical, sensate order as a static object, represented by physics in a series of inert matter particles, such as atoms as single units. Their interconnection through physics was founded by Newton around the the 1660's also. This would be followed by chemistry like in a spatially extended series of atoms to form larger molecules in the spacing of the object, where elements arise and can combine in extended patterns.This would be semistatic form in the intermediate subset of mutable Gemini. Chemistry was founded by Lavoisier around the 1780's. In the final physics subset the dynamic cardinal Cancer sign is represented by geology and astronomy, in the series where molecules form larger crystal or plasma structures. The calculation of the spacing of the object is a dynamic function. Astronomy was founded by Herschell in about the 1780's decade and geology was founded by Lyell in about the 1830's. These last two subjects are represented as analytical functions in describing the dynamics of matter in analysis through diffraction and spectral analysis. They shade into a self-assembling new life field in fixed Leo, as matter, forming a dynamic, tangible, symmetrical, prelife arrangement as with the organization of protobionts which would be similar to viruses as life forms in biology.
The next basic set would be the fixed Leo sign -- life in general as tangible, idealistic, harmonious order as a static object. This would be represented by biology in a series of living materials as with cells, in single units. Their interconnection in biology was founded by Darwin around the 1850's decade.
This would be followed by psychology in a spatially extended series of cells to form multicelled organisms with a brain in the spacing of the object where more conscious and complex organisms arise combining in extended patterns. This would be semistatic form in the intermediate subset of mutable Virgo. Psychology was founded by Freud around the 1900's decade.
Finally in the last biology subset the dynamic cardinal Libra sign would be represented by sociology and anthropology. In this series multicelled organisms form more expanded and complex cultural structures in the calculation of the spacing of the object as a dynamic function in a final subset. Sociology was founded by Weber around the 1900's decade, and anthropology by Durkheim around the 1910's decade.
These last two subjects should be represented as analytical functions. The dynamics of life are described through analysis in the homeostatic, body scans, brain scans, and Kirlian aura scans. This shades into a self-assembling new psi field in fixed Scorpio, as life, forming a dynamic abstract symmetrical predeath arrangement. The organization of psychic aura emanations is a series of auras extending outwards from the organism to ever more rarified states of perfection and complexity, perpendicular to their counterpart, the chakra system The extension is upwards through the more tangible body in ever more rarified and perfected states from tangible biological to abstract spiritual evolution.
The final basic set would be the fixed Scopio sign as psychic aura emanations in general -- static abstract, subjective, deep order as a static object. This is represented by parapsychology as a series of auric emanations in single units. Their interconnection in parapsychology was founded by the American, Rhine from Duke University around the 1930's decade. He established psychic aura transmissions on a statistical basis, which is rational and empirical.
This was followed by what I would intepret as the Gaian-Anthropic field of study which was founded by the American Lovelock around the 1970's decade. This would be in a spatially extended series of both tangible and abstract objects with psychic aura emanations in the mutable Sagitarian subset to combine to form extended interconnected objects, as in the spatially extended series from numbers to matter to life forms that resonate in a synchronistic, harmonious network. If they weren't mostly psychically arranged, there would be no actual universe in existence as we now know it.
Finally in the last parapsychology subset the dynamic cardinal Capricorn sign is represented by what I would interpret as the Tarot and astrology fields of study. In this much more complex series, subjective human events are interpreted by arrangement of symbols from such things as cards and planets in the calculation of the spacing of the object as a dynamic function.
If I might speculate on who would be the founder of astrology as a basic science, I as an American might claim here to have a part in helping to put it on a scientific basis based on empiricism and rationality. I took photos of some 200 people and put their birthdates on the backs of the photos, then tried to line them up in sign order from January to December according to their tangible physical appearance, to determine the actual sign, rather than going merely by birthdate. I found a deviation 50% of the time of up to 3 month on either side of their actual sign. This statistically establishes that the planets do influence your physical features, much as Rhine did statistically with his tangible Zener cards in psychic aura transmission from objects. I accomplished this by the 1980's decade. I also found a tangible physical correlation to a person's smile configuration and their moon sign and ascendent, which could also vary up to three signs, or about six days or six hours respectively, on either side of the the sign, about 50% of the time.
It should be noted that the last two subjects of Tarot and astrology should be represented as analytical functions, describing the dynamics of pychic auric emanations in analysis. This shades into a self-assembling different number field repeating itself again in fixed Aquarius as numbers. A dynamic, abstract, symmetrical, prenumber arrangement of complex psychic aura emanations is shaped into ordered, platonic, numerical formations through mathematics. This was, as I mentioned earlier, founded by the human race in general. This might have well been accomplished in the first attempts to measure time from the observation of the cycles of the heavens Thus it might well be connected to preceding astrology in a continuum in the zodiacal mandala from the end of the year to the beginning again.
But perhaps a better way of interpreting the continuum of sun signs in the zodiacal mandala might be to interpret it, rather than a four-dimensional circle, as a 5 dimensional outward-expanding spiral. In this paradigm it would proceed to the second Aquarius -- the Aquarian holistic infrastructure -- where the Aquarian new year would in some ways repeat itself in the twelve-month continuum but also it would be a different and new later year in time, trancending the old Aquarius one as I am attempting to do in my work in working with holism rather than mathematics.
One might question here where such subjects as history, political science, and economics fit in this listing. I would say that for them to become more empirical as sciences, using induction as well as deduction, they should more logically be subsumed under biology as a major set. This is the most basic science of the evolution of life in general, especially under its final subset of sociology and anthropology . This subset relates most to human culture in particular, where the evolution of human society can be studied from an overall long-range view of its evolution in general.
I think we can learn from biology as the evolution of life, that life becomes ever more complex and integrated through time. It passes through various dialectical conflicts and successfully masters them. It starts with the single cell, then that cell is incorporated within another cell, then cells combine to form multicelled organism with brains, then it proceeds on to God's highest creature with a more complete soul -- mankind. Culture finally arises and evolves through bands and tribes of hunters and gatherers with type O blood, on to chiefdoms and cities of agriculturalists with type A blood, on to nations of industrialists with type B blood, on finally to a united world of information-gatherers with type AB blood. Now the world would develop a world wide web; a united world government through the UN; and global trade. This thus seems to be its last stage of development in ever more complex synthesis in the final Aquarian Period. Here information is easily accessible, instantaneously transmitted throughout the whole world with people doing
ever more research in scientific fields through information gathering. Here unilateral anarchic war activities in the time of nuclear war's possibllities are restrained by a UN peacekeeping force, and the wealth of the world is more evenly distributed to poorer nations by global trade. It seems here too that democracy, politically; and capitalism, economically, would in subsets to cultural science in sociology and anthropology be shown here with their openness to change and transparency to be slated to be the engines of this final synthesis.
Maybe here a synthesis could be made of anthropology and biology in "Anthrobiology", as has been now done with astronomy and physics. In "Astrophysics" the very small is combined with the very large in quantum/gravity. The DNA/culture duality might also prove useful. Thus a
quantum fluctuation on a more concrete and centered nuclear level would connect to a more abstract and expanded synchronistic outer level.
In astrophysics the Univerese expands outwards from an original quantum fluctuation to the galaxies, and galaxy clusters, and clusters of clusters. Through expansion the duality between matter and the psi constant develops, like the duality between a Planck constant and a light wave in its more medium intermediate range aspect -- in other words, from infinite mass density and contraction in the big bang to infinite light expansion at the end of the universe. Eventually, even protons will decay. A counterpart is seen in the core of a black hole, or at the Big Bang, where time is infinite and space is zero. Its counterpart is the infinite psychic auric emanation in expansion as expressed by gravity, where all the material bodies in the universe are instaneously connected, consistent with Mach's principle. Eventually time is infinite and space zero. Man is finally completely caught up into the subjective rarified planes of heaven, not having to reincarnate on objective, tangible earth any more. This could be more readily substantiated if one finds in research that no gravity waves exist and hence it is instantaneously propogated like in psychical esp thought transmission. I believe it will in time be seen as similar to how light particles have been seen to be instantaneoulsy connected in Bell's Theorem.
The DNA at the nucleus of the biological cell would fluctuate like at the Planck constant level of matter to become expresssed at a more expanded, abstract, complex, and rarified probabilistic level as with memes and culture as it has been expressed in the duality of the more interior photon in the particle as a Planck constant to the more exterior photon as light wave in the duality of matter/wave. Below the DNA and matter level I believe it might also be connected in reverse circularity to its outermost counterpart again in culture and gravity being in synchronicity in cyclical emission/absorbtion. This would be similar to the formation of the basic concept of paradox in the mirror yin/yang duallity of the contracted tangible concrete in combination with the expanded rarified abstract as has been so classically demonstrated in the light wave in frequency/wavelength duality. I hope to write more about these ideas about physics in the spring of 2004.
As with the shading of one basic fixed sign science set into another, the end of the first basic set seems to play a role in preparing for the entrance to the new basic set. Thus as I stated before, the study of the stars, sun, and planets in the final Capricorn parapsychology subset might have prompted mankind to develop mathematics to measure time in the main Aquarius fixed sign mathematical set in a rational and logical way. Then in the last or third cardinal subset of mathematics in the invention of the calculus in Aries it would have contributed greatly as a bridge to the development of the next basic fixed sign set, physics in Taurus, where both were developed by Newton in a scientific manner.
In the last or third cardinal subset of physics in geology in Cancer, Lyell's ideas on the long duration of earths evolution would have contributed greatly as a bridge to the idea of evolution of life through many eons rather than just some 6000 years in entrance to the basic fixed sign set of biology in Leo. In the final or third cardinal subset of biology in anthropology in Libra, Durkheim's ideas on the aspects of social cohesion through ritual and religon versus anomie would have contributed greatly as a bridge to the idea of a coherent subjective approach in perception for the first fixed sign set of parapsychology, which relates so much to religion . Here an ever more holistic and complex evolution with moralistic development of karmic evolution beyond the first form of mental perception in the DNA in the cell and the second in the brain in the multicelled organisms would lead finally to the third in culture of mankind.
In the New Age we are now entering we should keep in mind the present Scorpio period's inherently religious aspect. Beyond mere physical evolution in biology there is a higher, more holistic and abstract spiritual and karmic progression. People would be encouraged to help more distant people than their immediate, biologicaly related kin, or nationality, or even race. Such pursuits as adopting children from these more foreign groups and helping poorer more foreign third-world countries to develop their economic infrastructure would earn a karmic reward. By raising the standard of living in the world we would be indirectly aiding in curbing population to a zero growth rate and hence preventing natural resource depletion. When a people have a higher standard of living they don't reproduce so rapidly. Perhaps too, large companies could develop world products like the older German air-cooled VW Beetle that was so easy to repair and cheap to run but fun to drive. Thus hopefully the whole world would have a cheap mass-produced product that all could afford with the levelling of the difference in wealth in the world. Instead of big companies giving immense amounts of money to foundations they would aim their contributions to the consumer, to humanity in general, in making products as cheap to buy and simple and economical to use as possible.
With the emergence of the outermost auras and highest chakras in this coming New Aquarian Age we have advanced gradualiy from group souls in simpler organisms up to this present Scorpio period. The development of such philosophies as existentialism may signal mankind's commitment to something beyond itself.
Maybe here a synthesis could now be made of the Eastern and Western spiritual ideas in forming a Theory of Everything. After man has reincarnated enough on the earth plane he can finish reincarnating and now just evolve spiritually on the planes of heaven. Purely spiritual evolution, unconnected to partially physical connected evolution, would be an advantage when finally the universe is extinguished by such things as proton decay.
I see an aspect of this spiritual evolution on earth. Consider the religious service where people meet once a week in one spirit to dedicate themselves to God through doing good works. The inner light or the Holy Spirit, if you want to call it that, would descend on them as they worship together and their auras would intermingle like in the Sagittarian mutable sign Gaian-Anthropic Synthesis in the harmonious interspacing of the object. This resonant coherence has been claimed to have been shown by EEG readings of the brain waves of people who were congregated in worshiping God. It has also been claimed that a protective shell is than formed around the individual and the worship buliding to protect them and it from damage during the week to come from crime and violence, or sickness in the individual case. Probably when people tithe to the worship service and hold to the highest piousness this is when this is the most effective. This might be a recommendation to people to attend a worship service once a week, taking a leap of faith to see if it will eventually bear fruit.
In the last or third Capricorn cardinal set of astrology my concepts have perhaps helped to build the bridge from the basic fixed sign Scorpio set of parapsychology. Using the zodiacal mandala as a translation of the stars and planets to the logical and harmonious four forms of human knowledge in philosophy, science, art, and religion; in dividing science into four sections; and also four main countries in Europe I have perhaps laid the groundwork for the evolving transition to holism in the soon-approaching New Aquarian Age in a mathematical, quadruplistic gestalt in Aquarian logic, Taurian common sense, Leo harmony and Scorpio depth where all four aspects have a role to play in a synthesis.
Also I seem to notice another progression, where each of the four basic fixed sign science sets is transcended by the following one in a kind of dialectical evolution. Thus mathematics in abstract numbers appears as quantitative rational numbers in organization but in turn is limited in logic by the irrationality of some real numbers such as Pi, and the square root of two, which have interminable numerical endings. Hence it is transcended by physics as tangible, concrete mass. The use of the inductive method in science is unlike the use of the deductive method in philosophy, because measurement is made on a concrete object to establish the tangiblity of a mathematical quantity. By the conservation of mass it is in turn limited by matters wearing down and going back into the vacuum of the universe like with proton decay in a decrease of matter's substance at the end of time, as we now know it.
This would then be transcended by holism on the more abstract, subjective right side of the zodiacal mandala, mostly overcoming physical entropy with the primitive arising of the soul in biological life forms which would be more permenent in the sense of being less vulnerable to destruction. It would in turn be limited in biology to the physical plane of existence by the struggle for physical evolution of tooth and claw, but God's love would transcend the death of the individual resulting in spiritual evolution in love of one's neighbor in good works to him in the parapsychology post-life survival set.
Here too, I conjecture that when man comes much closer to perfection he won't have to reincarnate any more on earth and can than evolve spiritually on the planes of heaven even after the Universe has ceased to exist. When he then becomes closest to perfection like God he can merge with Him completely; then God will have experienced matter through his emissary man in overcoming matter with spirit. God will be even closer to perfection than he was before and can than merge with Natural Law that even preceeded God, and the Big Bang that followed him with it platonic natural law logic, because God being subject to fixed rigid logic can't be illogical by doing anything that defies its canons. For even the great Einstein asked if God could have made the universe in a different way voiding the laws of physics and logic and internal consistency with regard to the physical aspect of reality. Then finally Natural Law will merge back into the Void from whence all things originated, which would be somewhat similar to but much more advanced than the physical vacuum from which matter and energy emerge and to which they return, but which occurs in very short periods of time at present.
In connection with this idea of the Ultimate Void this might be illustrated by logic itself. In Western, more left-brained analytical logic you only have two choices of logical statements to choose from. (1) Yes, something exists and (2) No, something doesn't exist. But using the left and right brain formulation one might relate the Yes to left-brained, tangible, material substance and the No to right-brained abstract spiritual substance.
In Eastern, more right-brained, syncretic logic you can combine the more objective tangible material with the more subjective, abstract, and spiritual, such as the formation of paradox as in the particle/wave duality in physics, where for example the concrete left side of an object is connected with the abstract right side of it in its mirror image. Here you have (3) Yes and No or the even more abstract (4) neither Yes nor No. But you can even have further degrees of abstraction in Eastern logic with (5) maybe Yes and No, regarding the existence of something and even (6) maybe neither Yes nor No.
This might have a lot of relevence to the question of "Why is there something rather than nothing?" there should be a reason for something to exist and not just chaos or there shouldn't be even anything at all. It seems that all reality would be subject to evolution, as I have tried to show in this article, with man finally being subject to spiritual evolution to perfect himself and God subject to Natural Law in turn because Natural Law couldn't do this alone as it would be too inflexible to change in and of itself. Thus in entropy according to the second law of thermodynamics, energy flows from the hot negative left side to the cold positive right side. Energy is conserved but translated from the more analytical light Aquarian and Taurian tangible material substance to the more abstract dark Leonic and Scorpionic synthetic spiritual substance with the appearence of the soul and its subsequent perfection after matter has evolved to life itself on the right side. Thus as the Universe gradually cools from its intensely hot original Big Bang state the holistic cold dark energy takes over more and more in its perfected psychic auric emanations which are actually shown to be more organized and complex, not less so. This would relate to flexible free will, where mankind has the choice to do right or wrong in achieving karmic advancement and rewards but it is predestined that he will eventually be perfected; how long this will take with the great flexibility of mankind to choose will depend on how he uses this free will in his present state. In physics this might be shown by the contrast between a gas particle as an individual substance and the gas particles as a conglomerate in a group. As a discrete, individual, left-brained substance the gas particle is subject to free will as to how it will behave in a container but as a group like a wave the gas particles will be subject to right-brained statistical probablity gestalt as with the particle/wave, yin/yang duality.
Using this logic I believe that eventualy with ever more abstraction with evolution and the dissapation of energy, mankind, God, and natural law would have intermerged reaching a state where the circle is completed in the Void again in the most complex form of eastern logic in (5) Maybe Yes and No, and (6) Maybe neither Yes nor No where they all reach a abstract homogenous twilight state of perfected, enlightened, blissful existence in the Void.
In conclusion, I hope this article will serve as a synthetic framework to further encourage people to see even more connections than I have in organizing the twelve basic fields of science to understand them better.
