A Cosmology with Consideration given to Astrology

A Cosmology with consideration given to Astrology

This is just a concept, an idea to think about. Over the years I’

thought about the different traditional ideas about the life

after, and

most of those ideas just don’t seem much fun. Most

importantly to me,

those different concepts seem to have too

many inconsistencies or are

out of date. Meaning that those

ideas seem to have been formed at

specific historical times and

with the progression of time many of the

weaknesses of thinking

behind those theories are clearly evident. For

example the

christian system is based upon the concept of “lordship”,

and

that allegiance and worship of a king is a necessary part of

package. This ancient feudal image is appealing to many,

however

democratic experiences have led many to realize that

whatever

divinity may be, “lordship” is not necessary.

There are endless comments that could be made about the

failings of

traditional religions, and that is not the premise of

this article. But

for me the one thing that is lacking is evolution

of thought. Just as we

see nature evolve, philosophy also

evolves. Psychology has enabled man

to understand our nature

and thinking process, yet most traditional

religions deny many of

the enlightening insights that have been gained

in the

psychological arena. And psychology and science too, continue to

reveal new information that can improve our lives. The big

stumbling

block that the major religions share is a belief is that

if the “word” is

infallible then it can’t change. And if the “word”

can’t change, than

those old outdated (hate inspiring) ideas can’t

change and we will

continue to see wars and terrorism. And yes,

if we ever come to a

time that a christian fundamental political

state should exist, it will

not be a happy place for many, many

different but wonderful people.

If religious leaders could imagine that just as the universe

expanses,

that divinity could also “expand” or evolve. Than the

“word” could

change with time. That actually was something of

the idea of the New

Testament. Except that religious leaders

decided that the “New”

testament is the absolute last testament

and no more editions or

updates are allowed.

The question “Why even bother considering the idea of a here

after?”

does need to be addressed. Some systems suggest that

an individual

must do something to earn a better place. I guess

this is a kind of buy

in plan, a plan to get a better seat at the

play. Good works, baptism

by dunking, efforts to clean up one’s

karma and I guess other things

one must do intentionally during

their earth bound years are required.

Its sort of funny the

baptists argue that you don’t have to do good

works but you do

have to get dunked, so you do need to do something,

but being

nice to others is not a necessary part of the buy in plan.

Although I am sure that they do believe in being nice to others.

But

on the other hand if you do not think baptism etc is

necessary than

why bother thinking about the question at all.

Some people believe

god is “Love” so regardless of what you

believe or do, if your a fairly

nice person you get into the after

play. I think that’s a nice view.

Maybe it’s a weakness, or somewhat built into the human

condition,

because most people everywhere seem obsessed with

the idea of life

here after. Life at best seems so short and so

limited that one

contemplates the possibility that there may be

more to life than what

is clearly visible. People from the

beginning in time have

contemplated this matter, and have drawn

their own conclusions. And

for those individual that have long

established and firmly held beliefs,

they can perhaps face death

without a great sense of disappointment

with the short life that

they lived. However if one is honest, at the

end of the day, at

the end of one’s life one must accept that we have

no real

knowledge and simple allow ourselves to be at peace as we go

sleep and as our known life comes to an end.

But I do have an idea, perhaps it is a crazy idea but I suggest it

is as

good as many and maybe better than some of the other big

life after

ideas. This of course is blasphemy to those with

firmly held religious

ideas. They believe that their book of

ideas is the only and absolute

truth, this is also why we have

religious wars.

A different idea

I suggest that mankind originated at the beginning of time. A

great

creative, explosive event created bizillions of moving

sparks. Each

spark a tiny but conceptual whole, containing

something like the DNA

of a vast consciousness. A set of

thoughts carried in an energetic

substance. Those sparks in

constant motion, driven and gravitating to

reconnect with one

another. Each spark representing a potential

human entity. And

I say potential, because although quite alive these

are not

physical bodied beings at this stage of development.

In time those living sparks connected and collected along a never

ending line, a circle in time and space. Actually many

overlapping

circles, and to be particular those places of meeting

are spherical in

shape.

Those sparks over eons of time have evolved to become complex

thinking entities, composed of complex energy network patterns.

Just

as optical data on ones computer hard drive can coalesce

into

beautiful images, somehow a network of complex energies

comprise

these conscious living sparks. And do not imagine

these "sparks"; as

finite sparks as one might see shoot from a

fire. Those sparks, like

the universe, may comprise a size that

can not be imagined. This is

just a crazy idea, maybe just to

much new age nuttiness, but if it were

to be true I suppose light

and sound come in different radio

frequencies, and I would

imagine that the fragrance of a beautiful

flower is really a

complex set of compounds, really gaseous atoms

arranged in

complex sets, and actually not just an arranged collection

compounds but the result of the energetic interaction of those

compounds; altogether creating a fragrance. And I would guess

that

matter and energy are about equal in value and that matter

really

reflects underlying energy. Also, I would suspect that it

is possible

to have a complex unit of energy with very little

physical evidence.

That’s a lot of guessing, and I’m not a

scientist. But I think it is a

reasonable as the concepts of karma

and rebirth and all the other

religious ideas. I would like to

suggest that science has much yet to

discover, and the world we

are a part of is not limited by our

understanding.

We come to the fun part. In this story, these living sparks of

life,

actually humankind, are connected mentally and over great

expanses

of time created an imaginative dream like world. I

suppose I need to

come up with a term or phrase, you see I am

using the words “dream

like world” because these living being I

suggest connect in a world

that seems real but has no physical

properties. Actually that world is

real, but like the sparks of

life has no discernible physical properties.

This dream like

world has been created, evolved by mutual agreement,

over great

eons of time. This dream world is an energetic medium that

allows communicative interaction between the living sparks. It

is of

course a mental exchange, but intentions and feeling are

there, so

maybe that makes it as real as any possible experience

might be real.

What is important about this dream like world is that this is the

medium in which much of the reality we experience is/was

masterminded. Perhaps one might imagine the dream like world as

giant banquet with a great deal of discussion and at many time

consensus is arrived at. Within that collective world, all

agreement

and action is by consensus.

There is one limitation however, although all the personalities

involved

can communicate ideas they can not test ideas. Although

as real as the

energy that connects electrons, protons, and

neutrons, the full

complexity of the atomic body as we know it

is absent. Actually I

guess in this story these impressive life

forms function within an

energy system that is yet to be defined.

Of course all religions are

operating within a system that has no

scientific basis. Individuals do

however often have mind boggling

experiences that suggests the

reality of a greater depth to life

than can currently be defined by

current scientific knowledge.

It is my suggestion that when an

individual has such an

experience it is defined within the believe

system that is

understood, thus one persons ghost may be another

persons angel.

Over time these great congregates of living sparks have with the

use

of their natural energy drawn together within the center

space of the

empty sphere upon which they dwell, great mass of

matter equal and

exceeding the energy they represent. Over

time we can not

understand, as their imagination evolved they

were able to create a

momentum of change upon this spherical

world, and that spherical

world itself evolved.

As this is true in the world upon which we dwell, it is true upon

all

visible worlds. Stars being an exception, and another story.

You may

wonder why life form is not detected on all planets.

Now this may

really be just a bit of additional crazy

imagination, but just imagine

that each planet has a different

frequency represented by its

distance from it’s primary star,

and by the unique mass of each

planet. And as each planet is a

different wave frequency, it’s life

form also functions on the

basis of different frequencies. Now just as

you can only tune

into one radio station at a time because the

frequency must be

set. We can’t tune into the life activity of all

planets because

they are innately operating on wave frequencies

different from

our own....with the exception of those planets that are

on a wave

frequency similar to our own. Just as “mi” follows do and

re, and

the earth is the third planet from the sun and so many miles

distant, other planets at equivalent distances and mass may have

similar frequency; someday perhaps life on those planets could

detected.

These beings have over time evolved in their ability to be

receptive to

sensory experience. Having a nature contiguous

with light and sound

waves, their vision and auditory receptivity

is highly developed.

Touch however is not experienced. And the

opportunity to interact

with a touchable reality was not an

easily accessible experience. As

these sparks of life interacted

and prompted the movement and

evolution of physical matter

within their spheres, the hope of creating

a means of

transporting themselves to those physical spaces was born

throughout the universe. In their own dream like world ideas

could be

postulated but to actually see cause effect results was

difficult,

although possible over vast periods of time. On our

particular sphere

the development of a complex creature form

was encouraged, a

creation form that the beings could enliven,

actually give life to and

experience life as matter rather than

energy. That form evolved with

one very unique feature, a brain

uniquely receptive to language,

actually so well made for

language receptivity that I might be

suggested the human brain

actually was designed for language.

The earth is of course set within a system of related planets.

Because

the apparent location of the other planets in relation to

the earth are

always changing, a unique planetary configuration

occurs at each

birth. This configuration creating a harmonic

impression on each life.

Thus we can see the holistic functioning

of this cosmology, a whole, and

all the parts interacting and

relating. Each spark of life that becomes

a human child seems to

have a mission or life conditions that can be

easily understood

with a short study of the Astrological chart

depicting the birth

time and location.

For those with some knowledge of astrology, you may understand

that

“transits” refer to planetary position at any given current

or future

real time. Some Astrologers can suggest life events

and life changes

at future dates from measuring the positions of

transits. These

transits and the geometric angles between the

planets create a

harmonic statements, each planet a different

complex frequency and

those frequencies modified and blended

with the frequencies of

planets create unique harmonic

statement at each birth. The data on

the specific locations for

the planets can be found in special

publications, thus future

configuration can be determined for any

particular date, time

and location.

So these sparks of life or beings of light are born to a limited

physical state. At birth a road map of potentials and conditions

seems

to be suggested by the birth chart. Conditions

established by the

exchange and harmonization of complex

frequencies represented by

the family of planets within the

local planetary system. The is

evidence that some of these being

of light have experienced many

historical births.

This road map or birth chart can also be a tool for continued

study.

The historically colorful archetypes offer a broad and

great depth

for understanding life purpose as well as the

resolution of life

conflicts. Exploring these archetypes can

suggest practical direction

in ones current and future life. This

study of the birth chart should

be from a holistic perspective

with consideration of both the visible

and not so visible sides of

life. One must consider the possibility that

astrology can offer

a practical link between the collective and earth

bound realities.

From the perspective of the sparks of life, that period of time

which one may actually have a physical presence and be bound

to a

planet, in our particular case the planet earth, is actually a

very a

very short episode. To participate in this planetary

experience,

regardless of the setting or circumstances one might

be born into, has

far more intrigue than any pain that might be

expected.

Consider what a fascinating story is unfolding. That these

sparks of

life, which originated at the beginning of time, for

short period to

time transform into human form. That over eons

of time these beings

diligently worked to create not just this

sphere called earth, but many

planetary bodies. By carefully

nudging nature to evolve, life as we

see it developed. That

these sparks actually enliven or are born into

these amazing

creative/creature bodies. Some of course might refer

to the

sparks of life as souls or spirits.

Can we communicate with these being? I can only suggest that

encounters with angels, ghosts, spirits or other such mistaken

entities

are probably experiences in which an individual is

sufficiently clear

minded to be receptive to some encounter with

a representative of

that creative world. Most likely encounters

like this are colored by

preconceived ideas about the nature of

such creatures. For example,

someone who may have some idea of

a ghost as a scary dark entity,

probably when they actually

perceive the “ghost” respond with some

degree of fear. Whereas

another individual with religious ideas might

look for or believe

in Angels. When they encounter a so called Angel,

they might

respond with feelings of elation. There are many historical

references to such encounters, and people today continue to

claim to

have such experiences.

There are of course so many thoughts to consider in relation to

this

concept. For example: Now that the world is in such

disorder, we

might ask did these beings intend for the world to

come to this state?

What objectives do they have, and are they

participating in any way

in any clean up effort?

But back to the original inquiry, what happens when one sheds

this

earthly skin? In this story line, when our humanity is shed,

we return

to a pure form of energetic life. In such a state there

is no need for

punishment or special reward. We return to the

nature that we have

known from the beginning of time. A great

collective that operates

with consensus. However, we do have

something new to share with the

collective body. We return with

experience, knowledge of feelings,

emotions, all the different

reactions and cause effect events that we

experienced in our

short time in a physical state. Those experience

are viewed

quite dispassionately, and considered not unlike something

that

might be seen in a laboratory test tube. These collected

experiences offer information that may help the collective

actually

nudge humanity toward a more productive and healthy

evolved state.

Our current world mess is viewed as a

developmental event, an event

that with maturity mankind should

transit. However, the intensity of

this current situation is of

tremendous alarm especially considering

the damage being

inflicted upon the natural world, a world that

evolved from much

effort and a great expanse of time.

I believe I’ve covered the primary points to this little story.

But if

you are hooked, or maybe you are certain that I’m crazy,

following

are some further thoughts to consider.

The world wide web is certainly an earth bound model of the

great

collective of sparks of light. I suspect that potentially as

the

hardware improves we might actually come to a time when we

can

communicate directly with the collective through this

technology or a

similar technology.

Consider how we operate for just a moment

What is “mind”? “Mind” is not our brain. In our physical state,

our

mind depends upon the brain. But “mind” itself is a complex

structure

containing morals, emotions, historical references, and

acquired

knowledge. Mind also encompasses our developing and

ever changing

identity. Interestingly our emotions play a great

role in how we

respond. A feeling, with no physically related

component, can offend

or uplift our mind. And with an

emotional experience this mind can

instantly cause a

physiological response, anything from anxiety to a

fatal heart

attack. And consider the speed of emotions. To think

through

an idea requires neurological activity sending messages or

signals, at the speed of light. But an emotional response can

occur

faster than any other response. An emotional event, a non

physical

event, can cause a physiological response faster than a

cognitive

function that operates at the speed of light. Some may

suggest that

emotions are chemical responses. A chemical

response may follow

emotions, but emotions are completely

independent of chemistry. I

would suggest that emotional

responses occur outside the physical

body. These very emotions,

feelings, actually motivate our mental

processes, the kinds of

thoughts we entertain. And positive feelings

operate at a

complex level equivalent to the functioning of the sparks

of life,

or our own pure life form. When I refer to positive emotions

feelings I am not exactly referring to ideas like those expressed

by Dale Carnegie or similar advisors. I am referring to an open

minded state in which a high degree of receptivity and exchange

fine energies or frequencies exist. At a very high level of

mind, when

our feelings are positive, I’d suggest that we think or

can think with

very little brain activity. Only a few individuals

develop the mental

skills that operate at this high state. And for

those individuals an

activity in the brain is a reflection or

response to mental activity that

actually takes place on a pure

energy basis carried on in the medium

of positive emotions.

Is there interaction, communication between the sparks of life

and

those in physical form?

I believe I recall a biblical passage that states that “we are

surrounded by a cloud of witnesses,” certainly that is a

wonderful

image of the concept of these living thinking complex

beings. But what

interaction if any might exist between these

being and those of us

present on the earth? Of course there are

limitations because they

lack a definable presence. However, I

do think that those who have

refined abilities to think with a

very refined level of energy, much

like the energy or frequency

field that those beings exist within,

those individuals may tap

into the frequency field of the collective.

I’d suggest that

there is a complex exchange between the two levels of

life, and

without that exchange life as we know it could not continue.

The archetype sign Pisces is represented by two fish. These fish

represent the two levels, the collective and the physical life as

we see

it on earth. Christ, as a fisher of men, attempted to help

people

connect with the collective using the knowledge that was

available at

his historical time period, the beginning of the age

of Pisces. In many

ways christ represented the age of Pisces. I

would suggest that much

of the wisdom of christ was politically

derailed, that those early

followers of the gnostic perspective

probably had a thorough

understanding of his work. Amazingly

today scholars are recovering

much of the early gnostic

wisdom. We are however now moving into

the age of Aquarius.

This dramatic harmonic change of frequencies

will I suspect

allow new insight and experience in common in the

connectivity

between man and the beings of light. Aquarius, the water

bearer, will allow for more fluid manners of thinking, and

evolutionary

changes will allow greater appreciation and

participation with the

collective.

Maybe all the above is just a story, so much new age make

believe.

Maybe we are here by the evolution of chemical design

and change.

But on the other hand maybe we are really beings of

light, angels in

disguise. I’d like to think that there is more to

the world than can be

seen and that a greater story is unfolding.

Many people on a daily basis have experiences that suggest a

need to

be open to a vast and creative universe. I suspect that

as a rule many

of the unusual experiences people have are

interpreted in light of

their own belief systems, following is a

short illustration of this

phenomenon.

Many years ago four different people felt a call to walk to their

village plaza. Each of these individuals were profoundly

spiritual.

Each of the individuals walked from a different point

on the compass.

As they approached the plaza each were over

come with awe as a

lovely vision was experienced. One, a pious

catholic woman saw a

vision of the holy mother, standing on the

neck of a great snake, a

more holy vision she could not imagine.

Another, a student of hindu

training saw krishna in full armor in

a great chariot roll over a

serpent. The third, an old man a

student of nature, that believed in

natural healing saw a great

eagle destroy a nest of snakes. And the

fourth saw an angel with

a scroll, on on that scroll was the image of a

burning snake, that

scroll surely spoke of the justice of allah. Each

person had an

experience, at the same time and location yet each

experience

was different.

We live in this great universe with vast untouched resources.

Resources that we can share for continued development and

enrichment of all humanity. However, although our evolution and

genetics tell us that humanity is family, we have divided into

squabbling tribes. These tribes steal from and destroy their

brothers

and sister in other tribes.

It is my hope that humanity will one day have a common hope and

deep sense of our shared humanity; and also that humanity

discovers a

divinity that is within all, that all humanity are

beings of light. Maybe

it’s not about becoming something else or

doing something to erase our

badness, maybe it’s best to simply

discover the wonder and underlying

goodness that we have as

sparks of life.
