Hi Vicki, I agree. it seems the universe is absolutely neutral and absolutely doesn't care about morality. I don't think the idea of karmic rebirth from Hinduism and Buddhism is correct either. Ultimately, it doesn't matter what we do, as we all end as dead meat. But it seems that even what we do is... Forum: Philosophy & Science Topic: Fear of Predestination: Are We Really Alive?

Vettius Valens' philosophy is interesting and so different from the rubbish that calls itself new age "thought", that the majority of people just accept as true. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vettius_Valens " Knowing that everything was already predetermined gave one a sense of freed...

Jazztaprazzta, there might be a confusion of terms here. Sometimes the sidereal zodiac is referred to as "non-precessed" and sometimes "precessed." The tropical zodiac precesses, the sidereal zodiac remains in one place in relation to the stars and constellations. Which method o...

Southern Hemisphere tropical vs. sidereal Ok I was thinking about this for some time. For the tropical zodiac, some astrologers(Dane Rudhyar for example) say that the signs are reversed in the Southern Hemisphere, right? Because it's practically season-based. But for the sidereal zodiac, they're not reversed, because it's based on the real ...

My husband was born on 22nd December, his brother was also born on 22nd December 4 years earlier. Their mother died on a 22nd December. My parents married on 22nd December. Due to subsequent traumatic and near fatal events in my own life I know that the theme of the winter solstice and the sacrific...

Trans-generational astrology Have you noticed any astrological and/or transgenerational links with members of your families? I see that sometimes there are astrological 'synchronicities' between people belonging to the same family line. For example, in mine and my sister's natal charts there are several. I'm born 8th february, ... Forum: Nativities & General Astrology Topic: Trans-generational astrology Replies: 4 Views: 3602 Sun Feb 26, 2017 6:15 pm Jump to post
Sorry for the offtopic... I hope science starts looking into astrology.. I am in a desperate need of some rational explanation about all these 'coincidences'. My maternal grandfather died yesterday. I had my solar return for this year (7 feb 2017, although my birthday is on 8 feb) placing Saturn exa... Forum: Philosophy & Science Topic: Fear of Predestination: Are We Really Alive?

As for "natural" disasters when thousands or even millions may die at once, yes that has troubled me also. However I have come to the conclusion that unlikely as it may sound, yes all those peoples' charts would indicate their deaths at that time, unlikely as it may sound. Everyone's deat...

Hi pankajdubey, Yeah I've read that both Schroedinger and Bohr were avid readers of the Vedas. I myself have also read quite a lot about Advaita Vedanta, Buddhism, Yoga (not just the physical yoga in the West), etc. BTW. Are you aware of any kind of philosophic school, or a Hindu theologian or a phi... Forum: Philosophy & Science Topic: Fear of Predestination: Are We Really Alive?

Hi Fleur, Everyone has been bombarded by new age "you can change your life" rubbish for decades, so people automatically think like that, To be honest, I wish for people to believe they can change their lives.

Hi amelia, thanks for sharing your views. my experience is the same as yours- everything is pretty much predetermined. Do you have any ideas about how such predeterminism may come into being? Is it just how the movie unrolls (i.e. starting conditions of the universe determine its entire fate) or it'... Forum: Philosophy & Science Topic: Fear of Predestination: Are We Really Alive?

Hi Vicki, thank you for the reply. What you say is both relieving and saddening. :( I've always wondered why mainstream science is so strongly opposed to studying phenomena like clairvoyance and astrology. They do work (if you find the right astrologer and psychic and have the right intention!) and ... Forum: Philosophy & Science Topic: Fear of Predestination: Are We Really Alive?
