Good Vibrations?
How many times have I heard people
who are really into all the "New-Age" stuff, talk about
vibrations and energy flows when, to be honest, what they are
referring to is hardly as etherial and spooky as they often
paint it! Despite many sceptics, in particular astronomers,
stating that there is no reason for astrology and it is just a
sharp way to make money, astrology does come up with a lot of
interesting insights into personality.
If there is some
sort of connection between where the planets and stars are and
what we, as living beings, do in our lives, just what could
cause that effect?
There is an interesting point to note
that even people who have no interest in astrology, even those
who say it is total rubbish, are none the less typecast by the
date of their birth. A person's "Natal Birth Chart" does
indeed carry very interesting insights into some areas of
their personality that they might not wish to broadcast, or
even admit to. What these astrological charts in fact point
out, is that there are facets of a person's character that
should be used and others that are to be guarded against. It
does not make sense to take the whole thing at face value as
if it were written in stone, it is merely a guideline.
There are so many things that are the subject of
scientific argument, particularly when there is a medical risk
perceived in some process or form of technology. One such
argument that still rages on is the question as to whether
radio frequencies can harm us. Well, to any of those who have
any doubts about that, put a piece of meat in a microwave oven
for a little longer than advised and find out for yourself!
How did the microwave oven come into being? Simple, some poor
engineer was next to a radio aerial and the damage caused was
quick and fatal. OK, so those high power transmitters can do
damage that is instantly obvious at close range, but what
about lower power or greater range? A prominent doctor in
Australia has some interesting results that would suggest
there is a very real risk but, as usual, bigger money has
bought different results. What I do draw from this is that
there is an effect on the human body caused by electromagnetic
radiation. The amount of radio emmissons required to cause
instant, serious physical damage may be quite high but the
body's nervous system actually works on electrical impulses so
minute, we do not have the ability to measure them. The tiny
charges that make up the sense of feeling and taste are to all
intents and purposes nonexistent, that does not mean they
don't work though does it?
Where am I going with all this? Well now we have to take a
look at the way we have managed to understand our own solar
system and the stars and galaxies in the universe. In addition
to the telescopes that give us visual images, one of the ways
that much has been learned about the wider universe and things
like black holes, is the use of radio telescopes that have
been able to detect things invisible to sight. The whole of
space is filled with radio frequencies and here we are, on our
little blue planet, absolutely wide open to them. Our own sun
is quite capable of putting out massive amounts of radio
interference that plays havok with communications on Earth. So
maybe then, as a young brain takes in its first impressions of
this world, there will be a certain level of background radio
interference mixed in with it. (and as we all know, first
impessions count don't they?)
Now you might begin to see
that the star (sun) sign is a basic reference point but the
Natal Chart plots all of the various close objects, thus it
makes some sense of the periodic changes in the radio
frequencies reaching Earth and imprinting a slight pattern in
the way a baby's brain begins to function on its own.
The
fact that all celestial bodies would seem to have huge magnets
inside tham as well, means that they will have even more
effect on this mass of radio noise and thus for a given point
in time and space, there will be quite unique patterns. I
would not expect any computer to be able to extract these
differences, much as it is not possible to emulate the human
brain. The human brain is, however, quite capable of making
far more complex calculations than any machine ever built and
although momentarily influenced at birth, goes on to make its
own decisions based not on astrology but on choice and
experience. What I am suggesting then, is that a presonality
has some attributes that are patterned at birth. What happens
after that is not governed by the stars, merely that given an
original starting point, a person might make decisions based
on that point but more vastly influenced by life and personal
experience. So by all means, use astrology to understand why
you are who you are but do not think that it can tell you what
you should do, because that really is taking it a bit too
far.
It is better to rely on free advice from a good
friend, than to pay for a "forecast" from someone who has no
idea who you are and charges you for the same BS they sold
someone else last year!
