The astrologer knows and understands that different people must think and seek in different directions and so he does not criticize different minded people sharply or disapprovingly, because their conception of truth differs from his. He knows that their conception is the correct one to them, the exactly fitting one for helping them on in their evolution." C.A.Q. Libra.

"The numbers, the signs, the constellations, nature, they all are connected with the secrets of the Christian religion." Kepler

The following aspects of astrology may be mentioned:

CEO Carter says:
Philosophical:
"It endeavors to set forth a coherent and scientifically verifiable scheme of cosmic manifestation.

Ethical:
It traces the interactions between the cosmos and the human mind and soul, and studies the true nature of what are called good and evil. It gives understanding of others, and ourselves, and consequently broadens the sympathies and enlarges the outlook.

Spiritual and Religious:
It endeavors to understand the essential nature of the divine ordinances and the ministers of divine power, in so for as is humanly possible.. .

Practical:
By explaining the operations of cosmic laws it enables us to adapt our lives to them, and to advise and assist others to make the most of their lives, without waste of time and effort . . .

Our knowledge of astrology is very far from complete. It is still studied by comparatively few, and it is overlaid with the growth of centuries of ignorance and charlatanism....

Practical experiment will soon convince the most skeptical that the bodies of the solar system indicate, if they do not actually produce, changes in: 1. Our minds 2. Our feelings and emotions 3. Our physical bodies 4. Our external affairs and relationships with the world at large...."

Astrology is a science in itself and contains an illuminating body of knowledge. It taught me many things, and I am greatly indebted to it. ...Astrology is like a life- giving elixir for mankind." Unknown

"Psychology textbooks of future generations will look back on modern psychologists working without the aid of astrology as being like medieval astronomers working without the aid of the telescope. -Richard Tarnas

"The highest objective of metaphysics is to study the stars because the stars are divinities." Rob Hand

"Modern religion is a screen thrown over the mysterious universe." Rob Hand

"There is no universal objective reality. All reality is determined by the conscious that perceives reality and the above statement is implicit in astrology." -Rob Hand

"My primary motivation for studying astrology is that if astrology is true, the prevailing world view is not true. My life purpose is to overthrow what I consider as being an evil reality paradigm." -Rob Hand

"The same nature which delights in periodical repetition in the skies is the nature which orders the affairs of the earth. Let us not underrate the value of that hint. Mark Twain

"Real passion for me is always contingent upon mystery" -Rita May Brown

"Some books are to be tasted, others are to be swallowed, and some
few to be chewed and digested" -Bacon

Paul Councel

But the highest of all learning is the knowledge of the stars. To trace their course is to untangle the threads of the mystery of life from beginning to end. If we could follow them perfectly, nothing would be hidden from us.

The word ?temple,? related to the Latin tempus, ?time,? literally means ?timesite.?



Astrology without Wisdom is doomed to mere fortune telling or to narcissistic psychological obsession with one's idiosyncrasies. The way to Wisdom lies in the direction of the universal, not the particular. Wisdom is "The capacity for judging rightly in matters relating to life and conduct; soundness of judgement in the choice of means and ends.



The study of astrology expands consciousness.

It is the basis of astrology, which as Schwaller showed, profoundly influenced every aspect of ancient Egyptian life.

The serious study of ancient Egypt reveals a high sacred science. It is an absolute tragedy that our history books and academic Egyptology perpetuates the ancient Egyptian civilization ruled by a superstitious people. Ancient Egypt was regarded by Greece and Rome as the source of all Wisdom.

One of the real benefits of astrology?properly practiced is that it presents us with proof of things greater than ourselves?of divinity.

We cannot impose our wills on nature unless we first learn what her will is. Working without regard to natural law brings nothing but failure; working with natural law enables us to do what at first seemed impossible. Astrology is part of natural law.



An astrologer?s task for themselves is to seek the truth, find the truth, and then live the truth.

Regards, Steve
