About Astrology. Once upon a time in Space.
Origin of originality
All this questions arise, ever since stone fell over man’s head producing sound of weeping awe. “No one here will get out alive”, shouts Jim Morrison and exposes his finger. The publicum responds extatically, chaos outbursts and naked breast join in dance towards the ledderhosen zipped Dyonisian God. But the cops disguised from this explict spectacle, collect the masked theatrical man, with following claims of inappropriate behavior. Exhibitionism is a normal conduct of exposing naked parts to disturb, to violate or to seduce. Back in antiquity most statues in the museum depict barely dressed or full on naked humans standing on city blocks. Children do this in kindergarten in order to compare their intimate parts. The human body has been subject of comparison and amusement, since we existed. Who got the big one alpha? Through the developement of social life structures, the birth of clothing and later fashion, the need to define our status became of major evolutionary importance. As philosophy grew in prominence, so did the characteristics of the Greek Gods, depicting human and super natural atributes, through which we could identify.
But what is identity? Is it something we born with? Can we decribe simply people, by appointing them with some standertized conditions, which they embody and this way classify them like bugs on a needle in the natural history museum? Since the days of first documented human analyzis, man has spend plenty of time to generate archetypical symbolism. There are various of methods used by ancient philosophers, modern psychologist, mediums, criminal detectives, military strategists and so on. Starting from simple numerology, which corrensponds with the color map, which in itself corrensponds with the musical notes, the alphabet letters, the chacras, the electric frequinces and so on, we had open the Mysterium door of existence.
Some humans are curious and this curiosity is the very foundation of seeking answers, attaining knowledge through experience and perhaps wisdom at some point. Those humans, who still hold the child inside, unnattained, always seeking answers, they become the researchers, the astronauts, the poets, sailors and sometimes the drifting from society drunks, mad scientist, animal saviours. How did our great-ancestors discovered the connection of planetary bodies, cycles, stars and gave them names? How did they drew whole constellations in their caves, if they were naked and had no tools to develop further eye sight? Perhaps the absence of electricity, smart phones, drones and other games, gave them simple time for full awareness. Or an alien races educated them on the basics? Obviously originality is extracted from the origin of all, back to base major Tom. Perhaps originality stands for being in union with all non formal and non pretencious… and wild.
Show me the way to the next absinth cave
Perhaps the early drawings of Pleiades, sacrificing of animals and other mysterious rites, was after all ignited by spiritual herbal mixtures, jungle smokes and earthy dopes, involving one or more psychotropic worm, mushroom or herbal component. We know that taking psychotropic substances alters our state of mind, often done in initiation process, which requires to be naked in cave, in half a sleep state of trance, where one penetrates fear in order to meet his shadow on the other side. This is one story. For sure, our human mind has the capacity to expand or shrink. For sure the practices of observation wheather through telescope, absinthe, yoga or climbing, freezing naked in meditative pose for days, are giving us the possible answers, triggering our need for quest towards the higher realms and distant truths. This could happen also during near death experience, after great loss or even breathing technique. But we can be certain, that humans have since ancient days calculated, marked and worshipped the effects of the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus, which are our closes Planetary bodies. Amazingly they have also noticed the further bodies and not to mention that there are proofs that they knew and especially worship certain stars, constillations and even Pluto. The planetary cycles and other major events in the skies, were connected to human sacrificial ceremonies and other mystical rites. And they did not even supposivly had telescopes back in those cave days.
It is apparent, that humans were sacrificing and self medicating since day one. Was that born out of fear and because our ancestors were simple minded? No matter how advanced or impeded, they saw the World and the night skies and the life on Earth with honor towards the forces beyond their power. They honored the “Gods” and their Gods were the wind, the trees, the water and the clouds. The knowledge of the dark sky fathers, the ancestors who looked at us at day and night is as old as we can imagine. Perhaps this honoring and fear are most important values we have lost as mothern idustrial population. The knowledge that everything evolves, nothing is eternal and the gratefullness to be be alive, share and taste this life, humbly and respectfully. We have lost this with our distractions. Man became the all mighty or submitted his power to system, relligion and something that it is not that simple anymore.
What is Astrology? Do we need it? Does it work?
Was Astrology man made? Of course and of course not. All native people and tribes, have creation stories of the Gods. Astrology, Astronomy, Mathematics, Geometry, Physics and Chemistry, they are all projections. Humans projected all over the world same visions, which through the ages exchanged meaning and the story has its circles and waves, which takes us through labyrinth of self-discovery, which eventually eats its tail in order to create space for new discoveries. The ever expanding and contracting roller-coaster, whos dragon head wagon chaises its tail in spins. Dizzy yet? Astrology is like a map or game board. There are players and we are the observants. One should never become too attached with the game, but through playing one sees certain rules and when applying them, he can enjoy with less loss, maybe.
Who decided the meaning of Astrology, such as the Planets etc. Well, obviously it runs between humans, that they attribute and give meanings, which surprisingly maybe slightly vary, but in general seem to speak of the same celestial bodies. Everyone seems to be charging from the same collective big umbrella brain, calls collective consciousness, or sucking from the matrix tit, if you like. Don’t agree? Well, then how do you explain that the meaning of Venus in so many stories is almost same? How come all this archetypes described by the Greek mythological drama, fit to be same as the heroes from the Egyptian stories, the Sumerian and Etruscan, Nordic Sagas and Celtic druid stories? Who was the first to tell this, maybe the rest copied it? Well sure, but this automatically means, we are preconditioned, we have archetypes and there is no were to run wild in ideas, so ideas repeat. Hm.. Do cats ready astrology?
The stars created the Planets and the Planets created us. Really? The Constellations gave birth to the Zodiacal signs and the Signs gave birth to the meanings of this comedy-drama called life, by introducing us into six houses of play, which are then duplicated to create double vision reflecting another 6 houses, calculating all together 12 houses. After all, our own duplicity in the body creates division. Two eyes, two hands, two legs, two ears, two sexes, two brain hemaspheres, just as the Earth has two as well. This division creates all this wonderful pendulum of on and off feelings. Black and white dance of the negative-positive, weaving the carpet of life’s wonder through negative exposure. You can never see all of this carpet, while it is simultaneously been waved. But you want to find out, who is playing behind. Who is making this carpet? Or is it projection of your own imagination? Maybe you believe someone is making all this. And this is holographic image of whats happening elsewhere? The curiosity, the need to have explanation and to progress mentally, by giving an answer to all by discovering who made us is madness in a way. Do we need reasoning in order to proceed and feel secure in life? And yet, there is logic in all. The logic lies in the rhythm, the rhythm of the sound of the drum. The universal drum, which is roar of creation. Each celestial body creates sound. Each sound collides, resonates and merges with others. Each merging alchemical reaction makes a key, which is a symbol. An opening for a door.
This is the secret of the celestial song. It is the symbiosis of the coexistence of all. The dark matter surrounding. The light projection creating matter. The egg incubating and from the darkness reborn into matter. All vibrates, dances in certain rhythmic steps, flowing into chaos, distortion and melody to bring things in order again. It seems that, the whole Planet would have been going on in this frivolious mysterium dance, but we the humans had to get smart and create our own movements, which don’t match the vibration. Now we have over ruled ourselves. Checkmate, maybe. Maybe it is not so good to know it all. To put our hands and minds behind the curtains. To ask too much. That is why this occult knowledge, was named that way in first place. To keep us playful kids hands out of the candy jar. Too much candy can cause sickness, for those who’s stomach is not prepared to swallow the plastic. Sugar feeds the hungry ghosts. In the wrong hands, knowledge could cause sickness.
Information is power, but awareness is selective transmission shield needed
And yet, if we don’t empower ourselves, like the first humans did. They were communicating through the dark space, making sounds, drawing elks, building stone circles to resonate cyclic energy, making pyramids to accumulate earth magnetic flow and were even howling on the Moon light as woolf would. Maybe. There was a common symbol language written throughout many caves around the World, which people used for communicating. This means, people were connected even before language and before cars and before internet, they were broadcasting same feelings. Now we can build AI, but we have had always within us the possibility to use telepathy. We just lost the tunning. We still make offerings to the Space-Lords, aware of the cyclical times dancing in trance in techno clubs on neon light, dressed in vinyl. So nothing changed. We still shoot rockets in space and write tales of comets destroying the earth. We are the actors now. We just play and speculate. We are so much more advanced. We have robots, so we don’t need to connect with the nature, but nature serves us.
We all know that things in life are not linear and that the recordings of these cycles, are clear evidence of our human evolution and the corresponding changes in our history, which are strictly connected to astral fenomens. Yes, this records have amazing significance in how accurately the point out certain changes. Unfortunately most were burned, some saved and others belong to rare colelctions of the Vattican library, where no one can enter. We sit on the verge of great history cross-over bridge to a new era. We are becoming more and more aware of this surrounding mysterium and many people have awaken in thirst for that knowledge. We dig back into the dusty books, we listen to bold old man, who have over half life of style into the mathematical numbers and circular charts. Some prefer the thick accent dark skinned Vedic story tellers, others like academical approach with their astral coffee news, third enjoy hairy legged yogi mamas, who have embraced the stars as their chakras, reading cards, lining up precious stones with symbols on a mango smoothie carpet jungles. There is a revival of astrology, herbalism, holistic way of positivism and this is natural reaction of the clear misinformation, mass fake news, earth polution and rise of internet. After all, astrology is about connecting the dots, the stars and your skin moles. Everything has its sacred geometrical resonating meaning.
And then come the skeptics and paint it all not black, like burning witches on a Sunday afternoon, but simply claiming that Astrology is a shitty pseudo science. This are also many resonable logical people, who feel they are in power and are affraid astrology might open their mind to somthing which could change them. Just because mainstream media still does not want to give people the power. The power to be self-educated, self-reliant, more aware, more naked, less corrupted by the ideologies and falling apart structures of systems, which so much support their believes, pay their bills and create socialism, capitalism and other isms. Astrology has nothing to proof. It has predeceased all of us, it is flexible, it tells you how important is to realize you are mortal and yet part of series of life incarnations. It teaches you respect for all forms, understanding of the dark and light play and how all is interconnected. You can see the patterns and decide what kind of a rug would suit you best with the given colors.
Even if you don’t buy this incarnation story, it can teach you on self-empowering and how you can use the potential of your time. Forcing you to be the mathematician of your life’s formula. Reveling the secrets of paths and crosses, where you realize how timing is the most important occurrence. Everything has its time. You would appreciate much more your life and see that everyone has struggles. You would understand how to deal at best with those issues and be prepared. You would see the mysterium string waving all your life connections towards greater appreciation of this gift, that life is. Understanding that, you will discover when to do what and surprisingly you would safe energy and resources and achieve more. Being the architect of your dreams and participating honestly in the creation of empowering common dream, which is less imprisoned in false solutions. Nothing coming from technology, politics or other money-ideology born idea, would be as valuable after realizing the mystery and appreciating the knowledge of cycles. Living more healthy life and experiencing all as it is, is just one side of astrology. You might forgive those who had hurt you and might appreciate more the hardships. Seeing the changes with greater wisdom and letting go of upset why some people are not on your wave length. Everyone vibrates on their own journey. But collectivly, we have also the further planets which connect this journey into the big boat. This is the cruise, which marks generational changes and bigger wheels of evolution.
The story teller of your story, Astrology is the birth, life and death map, which holds numerical coordinates, color biorythm diagram of your life symphony. How you would use to navigate, through your life with the colors, is question of choices made. It takes clear mind to be able to read. One can know more, but if the mind is clouded and the heart has no pure intention, it could bring “wrong” direction.. suffering, roadblock. This means hygiene in way of experiencing life is required for one to be able to make great use of the star knowledge. You are the driver of your own ship. The numbers are just Morse code from the Gods. The translation can vary, depending on the language. That is why most favorable is, to learn interpreting the meanins by yourself, so no one would read or “describe” it for you. It is important to “hear” it with your own ears. There are astrologers out there, who take themselves too seriously and sound like they know it all. But being able to work as a medium, serving simply as pure metal wire, through which one can channel synthesia of sounds… It is the art of becomming the Astrologer with theremin like instrument. Navigating knowledge should come from inside, invisible touch, tasting the weather with tongue… this kind does not born from book shelves alone. It takes years of practice, just like any other work, but most of all it requires wisdom, curiousity, gift of playful observation without attachment and purity in hand.
So should one believe in astrology or not? Whatever. It is not important. Astrology works with or without believe. If you think that one will react and change his life accordingly to an opinion, then people must be helpless, brainless creatures, who have no power and instinct to think for themselves. This is not true. Some people can get tricked. Of course. Ever since man existed, there are trickster too. But perhaps its just one part of our subconscious playing the shadow game. So we can trick ourselves into all kinds of conclusions. But they are in the end our own pearls. If Astrology is charlatanism, then any political, economical or other ideology should be considered as such as well.
Then why NASA still claims Astrology is for fools and it is pseudo science, if most of the ancient astronomers like Kepler, Newton and so on, were firstly Astrologers. How come all ancient monks who dedicated their lives to write scriptures, the civilizations which carved stones and megaliths according to positions of the lights above, where not considered as astrologers or astronomers? Did not Astronomy emerge from Astrology? Did not Modern Medicine emerge from Astrology? Was not Paracelsus, the man who once claimed:
All things are poisons, for there is nothing without poisonous qualities. … The dosage makes it either a poison or a remedy. Man is a microcosm, or a little world, because he is an extract from all the stars and planets of the whole firmament, from the earth and the elements; and so he is their quintessence.
Do we need further validation of the value and potential capacity which Astrology has given to the humanity in the way to understand the things in life, which all together are not separate sciences, such as psychology, mathematics, astronomy, chemistry, physics, humanistic studies, social and historical studies. All this separation has only brought the humanity in to cycle of unfortunate events. The main separation of technology-science and religion has caused major disruptive thinking about life. We have to decide between good and evil, between reason and hypothesis, between the invisible and visible, between the heart and the mind. Why? When they can all work together hand in hand and explain the world and life to us and our children in most marvelous ways. Why are we not willing to teach children the magical process of life, without disecting it through science studies?
The magical song of the Spheres is the message from the far out distant spaces, where sounds translate life in new levels of understanding. Or the need not to understand and know all. But just to trust our inner clock, our body machines were designed to be the perfect astronomical clock. But we have forgotten to listen to it. If we want to, we can simplify in numbers, colors and waves. We can ride on the speed of sound. We can embrace the images of the star lights, projecting invisible trajectories, webs through which we connect with our milking mother breast. The stars are the grandparents and the galaxies are the relatives. The Milky Way is only one vein, one capillary, one cell of the rest. And the rest is in it. Does this knowledge help us? Yes. It makes us feel small. It makes us feel at the same time living a significant moment of life, which is in the spam of cycles a hair drop in the ocean. And yet, with our vibration we effect the movement. We might be grain of stardust sand, but we are part of the bigger “we” and together “we” form dunes of life.
Jim Morrison did not believe in Astrology. He was himself embodying the Godly Pan figure, riding the snake, being the demon, the lover, the everything which the shaman can transform into. His immaculate star, inspiring ancient visions in his fan dreams, is forever living through his music. Jim maybe was not original after all, he was just a passing comet, who appreciated art, love and booze. He had speed, he had charm and cinical glory. He definetly lifted curtains, opened the doors to the mysterium cabaret, exploring the dark tunnels of human psyche. Those who still breath fully from this star dust, inhaling the music of the Gods, will always be reading and studying. They know that the story flowers between archetypes and madness and never forget to stop gazing at the blooming processes. The flower itself, is small galaxy to be discovered.
