Michael, Just a few comments: The Law of Attraction is the Supreme Law in the system of physical reality. But there is no contradiction to Astrology. Both the physical and non-physical realm are subject to LOA. That's exactly why astrology 'works'. Thoughts and thinking are also subject to LOA. A lo...

Michael, here's what Abraham said about astrology: "They [the stars] influence, but they are like a very small flea on the back of a very big dog compared to conscious thought. Conscious thought is so much more powerful. When you make a decision, and then you consciously, vibrationally harmoniz...

Re: How do you look at aspects? I use zodiac signs. So the aspect issue doesn't actually arise. Forum: Nativities & General Astrology Topic: How do you look at aspects? Replies: 24 Views: 9348 Mon Jul 28, 2014 6:39 am Jump to post

Michael, According to A-H, the creation process is very simple, you get back what you are sending out vibrationally. And by the way you feel, you always know if what you are sending out (and therefore what you will get back) is in alignment with your broader intentions or not. That's very precise 'i...

Waybread, Yes, attitude is a very important factor. I fully agree that interpretations should focus on the potentials. However, following the LOA logic of 'like attracts like' or, if we apply this to people, 'people of similar vibrations will be drawn to each other' (birds of a feather flock togethe...

How much of this is actual celestial influences and how much is just self-fulfilling prophecy? Forum: Nativities & General Astrology Topic: Describe your experiences: the previous Mercury retrograde Replies: 13 Views: 6239 Sat Jul 26, 2014 3:12 am Jump to post
Michael, What Seth says there seems to be in alignment with what I've heard Abraham-Hicks say about astrology. It's all about potentials and actually more about probabilities than possibilities. Do you know if Seth believes in the concept of souls? Forum: Philosophy & Science Topic: What do you say to people with bad and difficult charts?

Muchacho, Yes, Eastern philosophies generally take a non-dual outlook on reality. To you, this seems to imply that there is neither free will nor predestination. Let's talk about this further. :arrow: Michael, Actually, the question of volition has no answer. The question will just fall by the ways...

Waybread, I think we are on the same page here. Decisions do happen and things get done. To the question "Who done it?" the average human (from the perspective of MANY) will answer "I did it" and the master will probably just remain silent because from the perspective of ONE thin...

Hi Michael, Thanks for the welcome. I wasn't referring to neuroscience. I was referring to what Advaita and Zen and other non-dual teachings are telling us. And neuroscience, or science in general, or even philosophy can't touch that. It's beyond the grasp of the intellect/mind. You make a good poin...
