ASTROLOGY AND RELIGION

Translate this page.
In the research work I have been doing for some time in religion I have finally come to the conclusion that Gods first appeared, and in a plurality, only when at the end in Scorpio in the fall, the year reaches its highest complexity, as it evolves through the four fixed sign seasons in Astrology.

But in the beginning in the bare-bones infrastructure of Aquarius-One, in the winter and air, it would be represented by logic and mathematics as the fixed organizational aspect of reality. This would appear in natural law or the physical constants as certain constraints on the universe and other universes, if they exist. This would be followed by the Big Bang in concrete Taurus in the spring, and earth, when budding matter than first appears. Now these first two aspects are on the more logical, objective, left-brained side of reality. Here natural law in Aquarius-One would accord with such ideas like 2 plus 2 equals 4. Thus this order would be predetermined in all universes if there is more than one, as formulated in Platonic order. But when we enter into Taurus and matter this would deviate some in the way that the physical constraints of the cosmological constants are imposed on this universe or others too, it they exist, not being completely predetermined but being influenced.

For example, this would occur in the application to our universe in the Big Bang evolution when we enter into matter's attenuation; and also when we enter into the matter realm from chaoplexity theory. Thus we would have certain non-predetermined deviations in the Big Bang expansion, with the material symmetry breaking from the realm of mathematics and logic.

Then we enter the right-brained side of the teeming, energetic, subjective Leo sign in the summer when life and hence the vitalistic chi soul first appears Here things would be even less predetermined; this also would be related to dynamic energy as in electromagnetism.

Then we finally enter into the creation of the individual soul when it is in its more perfected reincarnational state. Here there is also the creation of various Gods through various spiritual evolutions. This last aspect would be the most deep and complex, the least predetermined karmic-free will evolutionary aspect in Scorpio in the receding Fall season in depth in water in the years four-season cyclical quadrants. Thus it proceeds in a continuum from the simplest, most predetermined, objective aspect to the most complex, least predetermined, most subjective aspect of reality. Here finally, in the evolution of the soul in Scorpio it would be in the last Fall season, when miracles occur Gods finally arrive when life forms are developed to such a high moral extent as consciousness arises with the development of language in mankind.

As it has been written in the Bible: "In the beginning was the word." Now man can enter the soul planes in an afterlife where reincarnation arises between visits to these soul planes. Now some entities can stay there and propitiate for mankind on earth, as the more morally perfected saints in the Catholic church are reputed to do in response to prayer and offerings.

To do this, miracles arose to show man free will in order to choose to act more morally, hence to believe in life after death with its incumbent rewards and punishments.

To better describe this continuum in Greek nomenclature in a four-quadrant seasonal fixed sign evolution one would say: LOGOS, or logic in Aquarius air; COSMOS, or universe in Taurus earth; BIOS, or life in Leo fire; and THEOS, or God in Scorpio water.

In the evolution of religion first, in the subset of Scorpio, with its watery mystical moon as its symbol the religions of Animism and Shamanism would arise when the soul of man was first prepared for an afterlife with the development of language and hence consciousness. Here the blood type O would exist representing the hunter and gatherer with his incumbent existential angst. This would correspond to the first two years of life in mankind and the delta brain wave stage. Here Gods arise that are forces of nature or power animals to propitiate for man. The psychic manifestation here would be such ghostly-appearing animals as even now may appear such as Big Foot, The Loch Ness Monster, and the Chupacabra for example. As you will notice, this evolution through the four seasonal quadrants proceeds to ever more abstraction, logic, individuality, moral perfection, and a belief in a universal afterlife of ultimate rewards and punishments by less and less arbitrary spiritual forces.

Here in the second quadrant in the fiery sun symbol of Leo it would interface to the first Scorpio quadrant in Totemism. This second summer quadrant would typically contain the religions of Egypt and Greece, still polytheistic and primitive but less so than the first ones. Here the blood type would be type A which would represent the idealistic, more constructive, symbol-using agriculturist. This would correspond to the second year of life to the fifth year in mankind and the theta brain wave stage. Here still many Gods arise, but now are more half animal and half man like the sphinx in Egypt or Demeter in Greece. The psychic manifestation would be a filmy dream imagery which would lead to prophecy and more abstract and symbolic mathematical, archetypal representations, in such things as religious architecture in art in Leo, such as the Egyptian pyramids and Greek temples with their mystery schools.

Note that these first two types of Gods to arise are on the right-brained side of the zodiacal mandala of the four season quadrants. Here the interface would be Neoplatonism in the middle between Leo and Taurus, with the left brained-side arising in Taurus. The next religions in Taurus would be Judaism as a left-brained starting foundation for Christianity in the New Testament completion of the Old Testament beginnings. This would arise in the incumbent I AM of the Jewish God in the left-brained entrance into the individuation of mankind in monotheism.

Here the blood type would be type B, representing the concrete, empirical, mechanical Taurean man with the arising of the European clockwork industrialized person as described so much by Weber in Sociology. This would correspond to the fifth year of life on to adulthood in the alpha brain wave stage. Here God arises as a full adult man in Christ. The psychic manifestation would be filmy ghosts as in the concrete fixedness of Taurus where the spirits are sometimes stuck on to the earth plane. Here the interface between Taurus and Aquarius would be New Age Spiritualism.

Finally in the last Autumn stage of religious evolution in Aquarius in the airy radiation of the stars as symbol the religions would be Hinduism as a foundation, as with the Old Testament and Buddhism like a further fulfillment of it. Here the blood type would type AB which would correspond to rational, computer-like research and information technology in mankind. The beta brain wave stage would now arise or even the gamma wave stage. This would correspond to the age stages from adulthood on to midlife on finally to old age. Here the psychic manifestation would be the transhuman Aquarian rational, organizational computer insect, a robotic entity -- in other words the space alien in the final stage of development. Now the most abstract laws of Karma would finally arise in Buddhism and prevail. Here the psychic manifestation would be the abstract Aquarian UFOs where the ghostly Gods would sometimes radiate themselves into the material world of our earth

As you proceed from Aquarius to Taurus to Leo and finally to Scorpio you will fast approach Aquarius again in this present Scorpio Age of religion and parapsychology. But in some ways as you can't enter a new year again but are limited to only a full cycle in religion. you could never fully enter Aquarius-Two regarding religion and hence enter fully into the most logical natural laws of the universe here. You would still be bound some by the Gods, miracles and the need for prayer for intercession. But here religion would be at its most logical, least arbitrary aspect of the four fixed sign types and would only be fully available to the most morally inclined individual. Thus man would now be entering the end of his reincarnations on earth. Here one would receive rewards and punishments for all ones deeds in equal measure. Hence there would be a complete evolution from animism where the Gods first appear in the very beginning in nature to Buddhism where at the very end the most abstract natural laws would arise without the Gods at all. But we can never reach this absolute stage of Aquarius again, of course, at the complete end of the year and at zero, because there must be a reason for there to be something rather than nothing for reality to exist as it does, so reality never ends.

In Judaism and hence onto its completion in Christianity its fatal flaw here might be the arbitrary forgiveness of one's sins on accepting Christ, as with Billy Graham's son Franklin, I believe, and President Bush as examples. These people sowed their wild oats, so to speak, and then were supposedly fully forgiven for all their past sins by accepting Christ as their Savior.

Maybe here, this youthful rebelliousness was related to an unhealthy overattachment to their mothers in childhood with the need to rebel against her in adulthood.

Thus maybe for moral principles and happiness we could even outlaw the use of tobacco, alcohol, and gambling as I think we should try to maintain the innocence of childhood into adulthood. For, except for sexuality, we shouldn't adopt exclusively adult habits later on in life either. In sexuality, which isn't immoral if we love our spouse and use a prudent amount of birth control to not overpopulate our planet, we now also reach a stage where as adults we can now work and support a family when we engage in sex.

Instead of going to a bar to find a spouse maybe we should go to a worship service where we tithe and attend at least once a week. Than we would be guided by the spirit of God to find the correct wife. Thus we would have a more blessed marriage and family life. If no one smoked or drank or gambled, no one would be too unhappy and some people would be a lot happier, not being subject to lung cancer, alcoholism, or bankruptcy.

But a happy marriage would be a blessing from God and useful for reproduction and, of course also, a reward for entering into adulthood.

Here I would like to add that the empirical and rational evidence for a spiritual afterlife on other planes of reality, hence the existence of Gods in a plurality, and miracles, as also plural psychic manifestations, would really exist. I have read much about, and personally experienced, in May of 1967, at Grand Rapids, Michigan a near-death experience.

Your life passes before you in review. Some people can even completely describe things occurring on the earth plane when they are partially in the spirit plane, even if their line of vision is obstructed in the physical body and they are unconscious when they look down from above the ceiling in describing these events. According to empirical science this would be impossible.

I, like others, witnessed in a life review things that I did where I deeply hurt other people. I was so sad about it. So surely then there must be an afterlife and I think that we would be judged for these misdeeds when we reincarnate. But here too, I didn't see Christ, Moses, or Mohammed so I don't see where it would relate to any special religion as the only valid one. But it was a miracle, like with ESP, reaching beyond the space/time paradigm.

Thus the Gods would exist as miracles, but no exclusive God would be the one. Instead, the more abstract concept of spiritual evolution in karma with cause and effect would be the more objective operating principle here. If there were just one God, which one would it be? Different peoples have different Gods.

Of course, when we pray we have to direct our prayers to someone, and as empirical, double-blind ESP studies have shown prayer in healing can be quite effective. So I pray to the Lord Jesus Christ not because I am exclusively Christian, but because the Christian religion in America has the most influence here and hence would have the most power to answer prayers for healing for others and for protection from evil. But if I lived in India, for example, where the Indian religions would be predominate, I would probably pray to an Indian God in power there instead. So I am not trying to blaspheme the Bible but just trying to be rational and objective.

Although I state that Germany will be the leading country in Europe in the future age of Aquarius, like Russia is now there, to be impartial I must confess that I am not particularly fond of Germans in the U.S. I love the German language structure, but I do want to be completely objective.

I do much prefer what I perceive as the more sedate and responsible Lutheran Germans from the more ascetic North over the more changeable, right-wing Catholic Germans from the southern part of Germany. Although I must admit that I generally like Catholic areas in Europe.

This southern German area, by the way, was where Hitler came to live and loved it so well. I think this area was related a lot to the Scorpio sign in a negative way in the first half of the twentieth century, with the Fascist participation in World War II. But to be completely objective I like the overall German honesty, intelligence and even how they get to the point in their straightforwardness. But I have to confess they can also be very abrasive.

I also love the Scandinavian peoples like these people here in Minnesota, but they are a more minor subset of the Germans. As for Asians, I quite like them and especially their ideas. I do think they will also be the most influential of the two peoples in the future, as the U.S. has been more so than Russia now, being outside of Europe.

In the four-quadrant evolution of religion, each religion would have something to offer in a holistic synthesis. Animism and Shamanism would offer the love of the earth and its ecological preservation. The Egyptian and Greek religions would offer the love of symbol and its beauty as expressed, for example, mathematically in the ritualistic art of the Egyptian pyramids and the Greek temples. The Jewish religion as later fully embodied in the Christian would offer the love of your neighbor and forgiveness of others' misdeeds to you.

Here, by the way, I see a benefit even if the laws of karma don't forgive; we don't always know another's circumstance and hence should be more hesitant in judging them but instead let them be judged by karma when they die, as that will be a just judgment anyway. Finally, of course, Hinduism as later fully embodied in Buddhism would offer the most logical idea -- that you get in return what you put forth. This is the greatest truth I have discovered in my long life.

I don't really want to disparage the non-democratic religions like Christianity where you supposedly go to hell if you're not a Christian. here, as under Communism where the state can take your life if you don't follow their doctrine, they do give you a purpose in life beyond yourself and they give you moral principles to follow rather than the sheer materialism of Capitalism where the mere accumulation of wealth is the sole goal.

But I do think the best approach to morality is the more democratic, rational and empirical one. For we are evolving to ever higher levels of morality, it seems, under democracy. Generally in today's world we don't have demeaning slavery; women have equal rights with men, being able to vote, too; and most industrialized countries don't have barbaric capital punishment. It seems man is gradually approaching his highest moral perfection to where he reaches a point in time when he won't have to reincarnate.

At the symbolic end of the year we can reach the infinite state of enlightenment, when mankind won't have to reincarnate on earth but will reach the highest plane of heaven. From there one can view all of reality as a whole, viewing it as a God would. But one will never leave this infinite dimension and have one's soul extinguished. I believe that it is not possible to go on to zero at the symbolic beginning of the year again, leaving reality completely behind. As there never was a beginning before zero in the very first part of the year, neither is there ever an end after infinity at the very end of the year. Reality must exist for a reason in its evolutions to ever higher forms.

As you can see, I really think this Scorpio, most complex, least predetermined spirit plane really exists, where such things as Big Foot, dream symbol ritualistic archetypes, ghosts, and space aliens are a reality. These would be manifestations from the spirit plane into our material realm. Hence UFOs, for example, can be materially picked up on radar screens and photographed but can also suddenly make a 90 degree turn or disappear back into the more abstract infinite auric spiritual plane again from whence they came, beyond the speed of light, outside the space/time paradigm. This would ordinarily be a miracle.

One might also posit a continuum here through the four seasons and the four fixed signs. This framework proceeds from the most concrete Taurus sign in the Big Bang in the densest center of a sphere, to Leo and life, where electromagnetism and lower chi vitalistic forces preside, further out to the less dense more outer edge where the outer aura and more advanced vitalistic chi presides. Here the fully developed soul first appears, which finally culminates in the most abstract reality at the least dense very most outer peripheral edge of the sphere in Aquarius. Here natural law or the laws of numbers and logic would preside, where the mathematical constructs which comprise reality and the universe exist.

To view physical science in still another way: To the left of the densest material sphere in Taurus that is in three dimensions and has one half angular spin, you will find the least dense, most inner sphere in the simplest Aquarius sign. This is beyond the Big Bang, and is in zero dimensions with zero angular spin. This would represent the fixed laws of the universe in logic and mathematics; these would be completely rigid and unchangeable, being outside of space/time.

On its opposite end: To the right of the speed of light in Leo that is in four dimensions and has one angular spin, you will find the most energetic and outer sphere in the most complex Scorpio sign. It has infinite dimensions and angular spin. This would correspond to instantaneous communication, as represented by the perfected human soul, Gods, and miracles in ESP and religion. This would also be outside of space/time

I intend to go into this subject of a continuum of forces in more detail next fall in a separate paper on "Astrology and Fields". In order to permit a better understanding of this present paper, I give just a brief outline of the four forces.

In closing, I would like to correct some mistaken thinking on my part. I had thought that in the soon-coming Age of Aquarius as the main sun sign the subset to it would be Capricorn as a moon sign. But I now see where this is actually a subset to the present Scorpio sun sign era. I also think that maybe this subset of Capricorn first begin when President Kennedy was killed in 1963. At that time we started to elect all our presidents from the southern part of the U.S.. It especially came into full existence in the early 1970's, when the petroleum shortage first appeared and we first started to see how limited were our global resources. The realization of the need to live more frugally fits the watchword for Capricorn: "I Utilize".

The Aquarius subset moon sign to the Scorpio main sun sign was from approximately 1875 to 1970, coinciding with World Wars I and II. When these two signs are combined they can lead to much violence, as they did in the 1960's -- an Aquarius decade with much upheaval. The present era would relate to the 1930's, a Capricorn decade with the depression and its financial hardships instead.

Thus the coming New Age will be Aquarius, of course, but the subset will be Sagittarius instead of Capricorn. Sagittarius, with its holistic abundance, would really relate more to a Theory of Everything than just about any other sign. This would be a very fortunate time, much unlike the present time, which would occur under about the most misfortunate combination of signs that can exist. Now we have the financial hardships of Capricorn and the existential angst of Scorpio. The Sagittarius subset moon sign to Aquarius sun would be like its counterpart a lot, the Gemini one to the main sun sign of Taurus. This is typified by the Renaissance with the appearance of the multifaceted Leonardo Da Vinci, who excelled not just in art but also in science. This was a new period, coming out of the dark ages of the Cancer subset to Aquarius.

Finally, I would also like to talk about chronology. As you might have noticed, the first three religious movements follow in chronological order. You may wonder why Hinduism and Buddhism come last when they should chronologically come before Judaism and Christianity. I believe even with the ascendancy of Asia in this coming Age of Aquarius, the West and especially Europe, with its discovery of the scientific method in the time of Galileo, would still be the standard for the world throughout modern times to a certain extent.

Note when the ideas of Eastern Religion first came to the West to a large extent. I would say this first started about in the 1700's; the turning point for its complete acceptance could have been in 1893 at The World Parliament of Religions in Chicago, USA. According to my calculations, this would be a Scorpio era and a Scorpio geographical area, in tune with this present Scorpio era of Religion and Parapsychology.

Here I think, too, in this soon-coming New Aquarian Age a synthesis of East and West would arise in accordance with A Theory of Everything. Hence in religion we will combine the linear, empirical analysis of Western science and philosophy with the holistic intuitive synthesis of Eastern religion and philosophy. Thus we might be able to place Karma on a more logical basis in relation to a more ascetic and puritanical Western mode of thought. But, here too, we would go back to the ancient roots of the East, where a deeper intuitive knowledge of Parapsychology and Religion exists, for example, by the Yogis who passed it on from generation to generation.
