New Age...Astrology... no longer based on the Sky?
Nungali replied to Fate's topic in Esoteric and Occult Discussion
Not really, not 'cosmic rotations', its a 'wobble' in the axial rotation of the Earth. Imagine a spinning top, as it slows down the point at the top starts to 'drop' and move in a circle, that is like the rotation of the celestial pole. The edge of the spinning top will tilt over towards the surface it is spinning on and that point will cicrculate around the tops movement, even thgough it is still spinning fast and any point on the top will be rotating quickly, the apparent point of where the top's edge is closest to the surface will prescribe a circle moving at a much slower speed. That is similar to the eqinoctal point (EP) rotating through the heavens along the path of the ecliptic. It, the EP, is heading towards the constellation of Aquarius . The modern terms are fairly meaningless, and only have 'meaning' within the context of pop astrology, so its hard to give a good answer to such questions. Eg. 'We' are not in Leo .... the Sun is in the sign of Leo, so astrologically, that is correct, but the Sun's location in astronomical space will be in a constellation and be mapped by an astonomical chart. not an astrological one. The Sun , like the Conscious Rational Ego, has taken more focus nowadays, like the silly daily asto charts ..... what's your sign ? etrc, all relate to the Sun and leave out the very other importrant astological aspects. However, many other types of astrology ( Indian, Tibetan, and others) and ancient 'astronomy' ( Australian Aboriginal ) are based on a 'real' position (in relation to the stars) So , the 'Age of Aquarius' is when the northern EP is moving into an through Aquarius .... it has some time yet to go before it gets there. This is the movement that makes sidereal ( stella positional) astrology and tropical astrology ( 12 equal 30 degree segements marked from the beginning of the moving EP - regardless of where it is or the stars postions ) not match up , so it cant change the 'ages' to sideral, as they alreday where sideral (based on stars positions) IMO it is amusing thaqt people that insist on using a tropical system can sprout about the significance of the Age of Aquarius - it seems an apples an oranges thing. No, its based on observations and ease of calculation with equal signs / houses , the number 12 and its 3:4 dynamic. If anything, modern astrology has become corrupt by giving overt foucus to the Sun in the natal chart. This used to roughly match up with the stella map (as it was known) around the time the 'tropical' tables where written up, that is; The Sun would have been in the sign of Cancer and the constellation of cancer at the same time ... roughly . Remeber that signs are geometrical constructs and constellations have changed over time as evidenced by the old star maps, when we look at an astronomical map today, the constellational boundaries are not something that makes any sense astrologically; a boundary will take off , out to a star, do 2 90 degree turns around it and come back, linking a star by a narrrow constellational boundary corridor .... so it all seems very arbitrary (or done for non-astonomical reasons ) .... abetter approach seems to use the asterisms themselves .... but what about the sometimes 'void' space between them ? eg; asterism; Constellations outlined by green line, asterisms linked by white line; A system can be nutted out where they match fairly good, considering 'recent' changes in the map that can be undone ... but a bit too much to go into here. There are two types of astrology ( I use the term widely - that is over time and location ... not just our modern localised view) One is based on the seasons and contains knowledge for hunting, foraging, basic survival. So that works well by basing a system on the Sun and the seasons and observing the EP. The other seems more based on the stars and 'mythology' and shows a journey of initiation / individuation (although in older socities both must be linked in some ways ) I have a system where the tropical astrology defines our outer side ( mundane world, what people expect of us, how we are supoposed to behave etc ) and the sidereal defines a more individual and personal or perhaps spiritual side of our personal evolution. In relation to this ; Not clear wether Cancer is your tropical or sidereal ? I am tropical Cancer .... but a sideral Gemini ( I will let you decide what fits best ) . But remember, it just isnt your sun that changes location, its the whole chart, so although some insist I do have Cancerian traits, the sidereal shift has moved my Leo Moon into Cancer, that is where the Cancer energy is they detect ... and so on. IMO a more significant infuelnce in achrat is the angular relationship between planets, and this doesnt change ... aslo the ruling planet and theme of a chart does not change .... so, taking the modern propensity to give Sol such focus, the changes may not be as drastic as one might think .... its more like different ways of applying the same formula. There are some good articles on it here .... Robert hand is quiet good (and it has free chart constructing software http://www.astro.com/ -
Urk! Sounds like a good sound track for 'The Cabnet of Dr Caligari' though

Not only that .... 'mass spreading hallucination : .... sometimes the ;'rational' explanation sounds more way out than the 'irrational' one ? Here is a good take on 'mass hallucination' ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_of_the_Sun

No mind no moral no rules: Coming back into the mind, perceiving consciously the subconscious mind - how easy it is to go on a killing spree
Nungali replied to 4bsolute's topic in General Discussion
Stop projecting your problems on to everyone else .... this statement does NOT apply to me or many others. I am not prone to violence at all , actually, many many times I have diffused it ... and I have had plenty of sex and intimacy, mostly because I am non threatening, casual and easy to be around for many women .... I can make them laugh and they like that too. A man that is happy and laughing is less likely to be violent to a woman ... and many women like that. I dont associate with women that want to be beaten or abused in some way .... I have in the past but they get bored with my 'non-compliance' and even more frustrated at my lack of adverse and immature reaction to them Oh dear ! (Maybe I misread the whole thing somehow ??? -
Wu Xing and Tibetan Buddhist/Other Elemental Theories
Nungali replied to Fate's topic in General Discussion
Since IMO the 'elements' are not things but concepts then the meaning and arrangement of them changes according to the conceptual use. One use I see as 'hierarchical' - not so much that each is 'subordinate' to another, all interact, but there is 'order of manifestation'.- is in the comparison to 'parts of the psyche' : Very simply; Fire - inspiration, Water - 'feeling' assesment, Air - 'mental assesment', Earth - putting the above into action. Many do not understand fire, inspiration, individuation, connection to spirit , also with water ; emotions are unclear, confused and clouded, misunderstood, etc. This leaves the mind to be head of the hierarchy, and many systems teach about the dangers of that, and how the mind needs to be regulated or trained. Of course, without the earth action grounding at the end, the whole exercise was a pipe dream and never manifested.. With out regulation from air - intellect, mentation, calculation, planning, assesment, inspoirations or feelings dont manifest, or without intelligent critical ability ... all sorts of phantasms are chased , asserted and believed in. If water is lacking so is feeling, a deeper connection, things have to 'feel right' sit right in the unconscious, some even say to 'sleep on' an important decision. What is this but 'running it through' the unconscious? . And of course, without fire we have no individual inspiration or good and original ideas in the first place. So most of us chug along, with mind trying to run the machine. Mind is not the 'ruler' , it has a job to do and should do it in its place of 3rd regulator. Of course, mind being used to thinking it is boss will rebel at this concept ... its up to us to persuade it and get it to see 'reason'. Air is interesting in that is also 'pnuema' breath , animating breat and spirit. So air can be 'spirit' or 'element' . Metal ? I dont see how it fits in , I have never really looked into the systems with metal included. From here, it looks like it is a result of the above 4 ( metal not appearing commonly in nature, it takes human ingenuity and the above 4 principles to make it - in the form we use it. I dont see a gender hierarchy , each element is receptive to the one 'above' and gives its energy to the one 'below'. The 'units' exist in polarities . -

Mother, females in general, nature, the environment, our 'creative expressive soul' are all related and, at the moment ( in this culture) are all casualties. -
Chinese Medicine practitioners/Healers in Melbourne, Aus?
Nungali replied to Aeran's topic in General Discussion
Try to look up Dr Peter Koestler - last I heard he was in Melbourne. he is qualified in TCM and western medicine . he was my doc for years ... pretty switched on guy ! He stopped me getting sicker and I recovered from Hep C with TCM , did amazing stuff with me with acupuncture and other stuff. Look for the one ( ? their might be others of the same name > ) that used to go on mountaineering expeditions, is tall, big beard long hair and has a dark suit covered in fluorescent coloured musical notes -

Nungali replied to 4bsolute's topic in General Discussion
I think that is one perception (or finding of ) one type of energy in one type of 'motivated unconscious'. The OP seems to consider it is the general makeup ? Not everyone has a 'sociopathic unconscious' . The only reason to expose such base motivations is to heal them. If they can be healed. I think it points to some unresolved repression or lack of expression at an early age. Otherwise .... yep, it could be heading for a long time in a small toilet room. -

Nah ... Ware, nor of good nor ill, what aim hath act? Without its climax, death, what savour hath Life? an impeccable machine, exact He paces an inane and pointless path To glut brute appetites, his sole content How tedious were he fit to comprehend Himself! More, this our noble element Of fire in nature, love in spirit, unkenned Life hath no spring, no axle, and no end. His body a bloody-ruby radiant With noble passion, sun-souled Lucifer Swept through the dawn colossal, swift aslant On Eden's imbecile perimeter. He blessed nonentity with every curse And spiced with sorrow the dull soul of sense, Breathed life into the sterile universe, With Love and Knowledge drove out innocence The Key of Joy is disobedience.
