Chakras and auras are real. Valerie V. Hunt was a leader in demonstrating the human energetic system from a scientific point of view. Her book was Infinite Mind: Science of the Human Vibrations of Consciousness. Again: the Science of the Human Vibrations of Consciousness, the Science, the Science.
(a reply to someone else)
Astrology provides the models of the infrastructure of life, the math, the astronomy, and the qualitative interpretations of the symbols, matrices, and images. A question of the form “what is vibrating and through what medium” is partially requires an answer in the form of waves and frequencies, hence, the low and high frequencies of brainwaves, Solfeggio frequencies, the spinning of chakras, and the rising levels of chakras from root to crown and beyond (including beyond the body-bound chakras). One must bring in humans-as-energy-fields to the answer of these two questions. Life experiences create energy vibrations. For example, a teacher was having her aura photographed. Her aura was a strong green. Beyond the differences in color of our aura, in Life between Life studies, discarnate beings also have different colors. Given the various appearances of a human being, we have the multiple images of the person as there are multiple images in holograms and as we have the recurring patterns of fractal geometry. What is vibrating are the appearances of human energy forms through the medium of incarnate and discarnate life experiences.

Another useless comment from you. No substance.

Fortunately I had already generated my psychic shield and your harsh energies just bounced right off.

How redolent of Trump’s America. Never mind the suffering and death of people as long as somebody is making a buck.

Steefen:
I am an astrologer who uses Visual Astrology. Visual Astrology can be based on 1) the interaction of objects in the Solar System with stars in constellations (for example, “On the day you were born, when Mercury was setting, Zuben Eschamali was rising” and 2) the constellations at birth. Much of Visual Astrology interpretation is based on hundreds (thousands) of years of myths and so many people who have been audiences to these myths associated with constellations seen from Earth. There is a collective consciousness about these constellational myths built over hundreds (thousands) of years. // So,to your point about the last chapter of Alexander Boxer’s book, The Scheme of Heaven, what happens when a person is born on the Moon or born on Mars, or even born in another solar system? There likely will not be (in the cases of the Moon and Mars) thousands of generations that have agreed on the identification, icon, label, and myth of a constellation from this new/different vantage point. // Please note, there are heliocentric (Solar System seen from the Sun) astrological charts, not just geocentric (Solar System seen from Earth) astrological charts.
On the day you were born, when Mercury was setting, Zuben Eschamali was rising
But of course Mercury neither “rises” nor does Zubeneschamali “set”. These archaic ornaments of expression illustrate the problem. Astrology as a body of thought presupposes fixed, privileged positions in space.
But congratulations on using Beta Librae’s traditional name. Why give short shrift to the Arabs who passed on classical civilization while the West slept the Christian sleep? Zubeneschamali is a beautiful blueish greenish star in the constellation of Libra. A wonderful jewel of a spring night.
In order for the Constellation to appreciably change their apparent architecture the observer would have to move several light years. The Constellations will look the same from the Moon or Mars as they do from Earth. Of course the other component is time. The constellations will look as different in dim futurity as they did long.
There are no fixed, privileged positions in space. Why pretend that there are?
Lecture 4. Camus – The Myth of Sisyphus
Here is Camus’ vision of “the absurd”. The absurd is born, Camus says, out of our increasingly impersonal, abastract, scientific view of the world. Only truly personal experience can be ultimately meaningful.
= ==
Life IS the meaning of life. It’s not anything outside of life, nor a particular way of life.
Philosophical essay written around the time of The Stranger. This essay somewhat explains The Stranger.
Futile labor is absurd.
The rational human mind vs. an indifferent universe.
Steefen
Absurd (a metaphysical thesis) is a confrontation between the rational human mind and an indifferent galaxy, let alone an indifferent universe.
The rules of Astrology would say the galaxy is not so indifferent since it provides the infrastructure of human life.
Programs are indifferent to systems which operate from the program, i.e., the program of consciousness and lifehood can be indifferent to the billions of people who are sent running through the Astrological program.
Prof. Robert C. Solomon
We project onto the galaxy, our sense of justice.
Steefen
The galaxy, with Jupiter, gives us our sense of justice.
Prof. Solomon
What is absurd is that we have this demand for justice but the world [not the galaxy/the program] does not care.
Sisyphus gives the conclusion: futility; Ecclesiastes gives the conclusion: all is vanity.
Then there is objectivity.
Galileo – between life and truth, he chose life.
Back to objectivity, given a picture of the Solar System, we on Earth are pretty small. Now we have pictures of the Galaxy, we are even smaller.
Steefen
However, the galaxy and stars beyond the galaxy influence the lives of very small human beings. For all of that, we are.
Prof. Solomon
It’s worse when we turn to time.

We’re rational, so we ask Why?
The chain of justification has no final anchor.
Why is happiness an anchor? (Why … because I would rather be happy.)

Lecture 4. Camus – The Myth of Sisyphus, continued
How does Sisyphus cope with the absurd? What makes him an hero of the absurd?
Camus has two answers.
1
His rock is his thing. He puts himself into his labor.
He appreciates and finds a fondness for his labor.
So, he is happy for his moments.
Do not look at the clock and reflect.
The reflection (the role of reason) poisons the experience.
Reflecting on what does this amount to only yields the deeply unsatisfying answer of the book Ecclesiastes, all is vanity. It leads to nothing.
2
He does it with resentment. He resents the gods giving him this life.
Camus is an atheist. Why is he talking about gods?
Sisyphus has scorn and defiance for the gods, i.e., resentment.
The heroic rebellion of Sisyphus is to refuse to accept the absurdity imposed upon him by the gods.
Reflection leads to consciousness. However, consciousness is not a blessing, not necessarily an achievement.
Consciousness is a problem. Camus says, if his story is tragic it is because he is conscious.
To see the repetition and the futility is the tragedy.
The universe is absurd because it does not satisfy our moral demands.
Steefen
I agree.
Prof. Solomon
The universe is absurd because it does not satisfy our demands for understanding.
Steefen
As an astrologer, I disagree. And for other reasons, I do not agree.
Prof. Solomon
A passion for life can be a desperate gesture, then.
Later, we find with Nietzsche, that throwing oneself into life with a passion but with resentment against the gods, or secularly, one’s place in life, one’s life, one’s fortune, is a mindset that destroys itself.
Do not detach oneself and look at yourself objectively.
Steefen
Have the geocosmic perspective of astrology despite the heliocentric reality.
Prof. Solomon
What then is the role of reflection and reason? ? ? ?
93
Life IS the meaning of life. It’s not anything outside of life, nor a particular way of life.
Or to put it another way, “Life” is not a question to be answered or a problem to be solved – it’s an experience to be had.
Camus is an atheist. Why is he talking about gods?
Why does a medical doctor spend all her time talking about disease?
The universe is absurd because it does not satisfy our moral demands.
Why would anyone expect that it would?
The universe is absurd because it does not satisfy our demands for understanding.
Why would anyone expect that it would?
The universe is neither absurd nor is it not absurd. It is beyond all that. All is as it must be nor could it be otherwise. If it could be otherwise it would.
93/93
“The universe is absurd because it does not satisfy our moral demands…”
Nor does it satisfy much of anything else.
Peggy Lee’s “Is That All There Is” says it best of all.
And something else I wonder – why immortal longings if there is no immortality?
Stephen, you know me well enough by now to expect nothing academic whatsoever.
