This document discusses oppositions between different modes of thinking and perceiving truth. It presents a model where empiric thinking is opposed to intuitive feeling. Empiric thinking seeks truth through objective facts and verification, while intuitive feeling sees truth as more subjective based on personal belief and faith. This reflects the divide between religion and science in their different quests for truth. The document suggests these opposing modes can work together to resolve the conundrum of defining truth, with the center representing reconciliation between the elements.
The document discusses Plato's concept of Anima Mundi or "world soul" and presents Jung's diagram of the philosopher's stone depicting the four elements - earth, water, air and fire. It explains how the elements relate to psychological functions and how they are represented in the signs of the zodiac. The document then describes aligning the zodiac signs on the philosopher's stone diagram based on their elemental qualities and shows how this creates a pattern reflecting principles of bilateral symmetry.
This document discusses connections between the I Ching, the zodiac signs, and planetary rulers. It presents a diagram called the Anima Mundi that maps the I Ching lines to the zodiac signs and their traditional planetary rulers. The document analyzes each line placement and finds they correlate well. It suggests this reveals an ancient understanding of archetypal patterns in different esoteric systems.
Since I published my first presentations regarding Oppositions on the Anima Mundi I have understood them in greater depth. After a great deal of study I have decided that the original did not explain the opposition between Mercury and the Moon correctly. I have had a long time to contemplate this model and understand it in greater depth. This presentation also introduces consciousness and is visually more fun I hope. Enjoy. Not sure what category it belongs in. I would choose Philosophy but there is no Philosophy category listed. Maybe scientists would not approve so I have listed it under Spiritual. I think it's both.
Hello Everyone. This is it - a presentation introducing our home planet's intimate relationship with her cosmic environment in a way that I hope EVERONE will be able to understand.
This document proposes that astrology and the I Ching are not separate systems but different interpretations of the same phenomena of life. It shows how the basic structures of the I Ching and astrology are alike, with the I Ching's eight trigrams correlating to the twelve astrological signs. Through diagrams and explanations, it demonstrates how each I Ching trigram relates meaningfully to the astrological sign it is paired with based on qualities of ruling planets and the symbols and meanings associated with each. The document serves to illustrate the connections between these ancient systems of knowledge.
The document presents a model called "The Earth Alignment" that positions the signs of the zodiac according to their psychological qualities and properties of the four elements. When the sun's progression around the zodiac is applied to this layout, it creates a pattern of bilateral symmetry resembling the philosopher's stone, suggesting this reflects order in the natural world. This is proposed as a blueprint for how the physical properties of Earth provide a template for the development of human intelligence.
This document discusses the recognition and understanding of astrological planets and their relationships. It begins by recognizing the Sun and Moon as complementary forces representing life. Mercury is then recognized as representing conscious thought. Additional planets are gradually recognized, including Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. In the late 18th century, Uranus is recognized, representing revolutionary change. Neptune and Pluto are later recognized in the 19th and 20th centuries. Additional astrological bodies like Chiron, asteroids, and Earth are also discussed as being recognized and incorporated into the model over time. The document explores how this recognition helped develop an understanding of archetypes and complementary connections between the planets.
Yet another attempt to win recognition for this amazing New Age discovery. Here is the Bride, Part One. She will need a Groom to impregnate her with cosmic DNA - that will be Part Two. Then she will produce Intelligent Life which I will introduce in Part Three. Of course this has been happening for millennia, but we are only just now evolved sufficiently to understand what is going on and even now we have a big problem. Fixed ideas are blocking this information - we think we are so clever, so scientific, but this hubris has closed our minds to new ideas. I think this is sad. Follow these presentations and decide for yourself. We are free and if we are to progress we need to think for ourselves.

This document discusses a new pattern called "The Pattern of Evolution II" that was created by following an evolutionary narrative from the Sun to various planets and back to the Sun. Key aspects of this new pattern include two triangles similar to the original pattern on the zodiac. The document then examines how this new pattern maps to various parts of the human brain, with connections drawn between the planets in the pattern and structures like the cerebrum, corpus callosum, frontal lobes, motor cortex, and more. Various studies and research are cited exploring topics like creativity, memory, perception, and sexual behavior as they relate to the brain structures.
The document describes the origins and early history of the I Ching, or Book of Changes, an ancient Chinese divination text and the earliest of the Chinese classics. It details how the oracle bone method of divination evolved into a system using broken and unbroken lines that represented heaven, earth, and humanity. These lines were combined into trigrams and hexagrams that were given meanings and used for divination. Key figures who contributed to the development of the I Ching included King Wen, who composed texts for each hexagram, and his son Duke of Zhou, who added further explanatory texts. Confucius also wrote additional essays for each hexagram. Over time, the I Ching became an important philosophical and spiritual text in Chinese thought alongside the rise of
This is the first of three presentations concerning TIME. Scientists attempt to understand time as if it exists independent of consciousness. This Part One introduces the importance of consciousness and it seems that PowerPoint is the perfect medium to illuminate this importance. People who have already seen this presentation tell me it takes their breath away. Do let me know what you think as I am using this presentation only as an exploration.
Revelation Part Three is a study of the last two chapters, chapters 21 and 22. These are the chapters that alerted me to the idea that the brain model, the model based on the Anima Mundi, is also The Golden City described in this ancient text. Perhaps when we understand how integrated our intelligence is with Mother Earth and how dependent we are on cosmic forces we will gain some much needed humility, desist from pushing our weight around, learn to live in accord with what the ancient Chinese called the Tao, and get it right in the end.
Our brains supply the Hardware running the Software projected by the electromagnetic activity in our cosmic environment.
This presentation illuminates how this Hardware and Software are set up.
Understanding this is clearly a giant step towards self-understanding - but - if the question is, who set this up, and, why are we here, we clearly have a great deal more to learn.
It is the beginning of a New Age, the Age of Aquarius, a sign written as two wavy lines symbolising with compelling authority our modern fascination with computers and mobile phones.
Welcome to The Age of Aquarius.
This is the first of four presentations offering my interpretation of the Book of Revelation. I am not religious, but way back in 1984/5 I stumbled across a model of the human brain while playing with ancient archetypal ideas and was shocked to find this model described in the last two chapters of this ancient text. Over the years more and more of the text has revealed itself. It continues to offer more information as events play themselves out. The Apocalypse is scary but I promise all turns out OK in the end. This presentation just deals with information up to chapter 3. Revelation (Part One B) comes next.
This document provides biographical information about Lynn Koiner and summaries of her expertise in esoteric astrology. It outlines her professional experience and areas of specialization, including as a contributing author, international speaker, and instructor. The document then provides summaries of various esoteric astrology topics including interpretations for the signs, houses, planets and other astrological factors. Responses from Lynn Koiner are also included that further elaborate on some of the esoteric interpretations.
This document provides information on the zodiac signs, astrological houses, planets and their meanings in astrology. It discusses the elements, qualities, ruling planets and other attributes of each zodiac sign. It then provides details on the astrological significance and influence of each planet, including the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. It describes what each planet governs and how they impact areas like communication, love, passion, luck, discipline, rebellion, illusion and more.
1) The signs relate to one of four elements - earth, water, fire, air - which show the different layers of how we function in life.
2) Earth signs relate to practicality and material manifestation. Water signs relate to emotions and relationships. Fire signs relate to will, ambition and independence. Air signs relate to versatility of thought and communication.
3) The elements of the signs and planets indicate the realms we have most work to do in and how our energies will be expressed. Well-placed planets bring out positive qualities, while poorly-placed planets can cause issues.
This document contains an astrological natal chart and analysis for Deepak Sawant born on April 4, 1965 at 03:47 GMT +5.5 hours. It lists the positions of the planets, signs, houses, and aspects in his birth chart. It also includes the philosophy and interpretation of astrology according to the author, with a focus on the rising sign of Aquarius and how that impacts personality and life lessons.
1) Capricorn is symbolized by the unicorn, representing spiritual purity, transformation, and healing.
2) In ancient myths, the unicorn could only be captured by a virgin, relating it to the earth sign of Virgo.
3) Capricorn represents the striving for perfection through achieving the peak or summit, holding seeds of death and completion.
The document discusses the 8th house in Vedic astrology and its effects based on ancient texts. It states that the 8th house can indicate mental and physical distress, calamity, death, marital relations, occult matters, debts, inheritance, diseases of certain body parts, and more. It then examines the influence of each planet placed in the 8th house, such as the native having a charming face if the Sun is placed there. The document emphasizes that the 8th house is only a pointer and proper balancing of factors is needed to make accurate interpretations.

This document discusses the history and principles of handreading (cheiromancy). It explains that handreading views the hand as a microcosm reflecting the macrocosm of the universe. The hand is divided into three worlds - the elemental world of the palm reflecting the physical body, the celestial world of the lines reflecting emotions, and the intellectual world of the fingers reflecting mental faculties. Different parts of the hand like mounts and phalanges are associated with astrological symbols like planets and zodiac signs to aid interpretation.
This document provides a psychological analysis and portrait of Gustavo based on his astrological chart. It examines his sensitivity, affectivity, mode of action, intellect, communication style, goals, strengths, serious side, personality traits, uniqueness, inspiration, passion, and karmic themes. The analysis is based on the positions of the planets, houses, aspects, and other components of his natal chart.
Why Astrology does not work- A scientific view point- Dr Vijay SardanaVijay Sardana
The document provides a scientific critique of astrology, arguing that it does not adhere to the scientific method and its claims cannot be falsified or proven. Several studies are cited that found no correlation between astrological signs and characteristics like personality or life events. While astrology remains popular, the document asserts it can weaken critical thinking and encourages an external locus of control rather than empowering individuals. In conclusion, astrology is deemed an invalid pseudoscience but one that persists due to human psychological and social factors.
This document discusses the popularity and origins of astrology. It states that astrology has become a multi-million dollar industry with over 175,000 part-time astrologers in the US alone. The document traces astrology's origins to ancient Babylon and discusses how it later developed in places like Greece, India, and Central America. It provides an overview of the key beliefs and practices in astrology, such as the 12 signs of the zodiac and how astrologers assign meanings to the positions of planets and stars. The document also notes that while astrology was once considered a science, modern scientists have rejected its principles. It concludes by stating that both the Quran and hadiths condemn practices like astrology and
Raman Suprajarama will be presenting two new techniques for making precise astrological predictions. He says, "The patterns and rules laid out in our classical works, cannot by applied verbatim in the current times. We need to upgrade our understanding of the subject and move into a new era - Jyothishya 2.0. With research and use of computer aided calculations, the beauty of the classics can be made relevant to the modern times.". Raman Hora is a great technique to effectively understand the best source of income for any being. Ashtakavarga Graha Dasa helps precisely calculate the time of marriage with an accuracy of about 15 days.
This document appears to be an excerpt from an astrology book that discusses sun signs and how they relate to personality traits. It provides an overview of the 12 zodiac signs and dates for each. It also discusses how to understand sun signs and what a natal chart is in astrology. The document aims to help readers better understand how astrological signs can provide insight into human behavior and personality characteristics.
CH2 - Archetypes of Wisdom Douglas J. Soccio Chapter 2ssuser3d3158
The document provides an overview of early Greek philosophers known as the Presocratics, who emerged prior to Socrates. It discusses several key figures and ideas:
- Thales was considered the first Western philosopher and proposed that everything was composed of water. He inspired rational discourse through argumentation.
- Anaximander reasoned that the earth stays stationary at the center of the cosmos due to balance. He claimed things emerged from an infinite substance called the apeiron.
- Heraclitus viewed the world as governed by an underlying order or logos and believed that change was fundamental yet constant.
- Parmenides argued reality is one unchanging being, while appearance and change are illusions
A Theological Assessment of the Alien Abduction PhenomenonSimon Penney
This document provides an overview and analysis of a Master's thesis that examined the alien abduction phenomenon from a theological perspective. The thesis included research on reported alien experiences, comparisons to religious and mythical themes, and consideration of potential theological responses. It discussed topics like the extra-terrestrial hypothesis, comparisons between alien encounters and fairy folklore, potential religious interpretations of the phenomenon, and the development of religions connected to beliefs about aliens.

The document discusses the relationship between cognitive neuroscience and culture. It explains that research has shown the brain has two hemispheres - the left and right - that process information differently. The right hemisphere is associated with emotions, relationships, creativity and a holistic view of the world, while the left hemisphere focuses on logic, objectivity and linear time. The author notes their experience immigrating revealed tensions between eastern and western cultures that mirror the differences between the brain hemispheres. Western culture emphasizes schedules, rules and competition associated with left brain functions, while eastern culture values spontaneity and relationships linked to right brain traits.
This document provides an introduction to the astrological concepts explored in the book Secrets of the Zodiac. It discusses how astrology began thousands of years ago and has developed different systems around the world. While astronomy studies the science, astrology perceives all things as interconnected and that by understanding how the universe operates we can learn about ourselves, as the macrocosm reflects the microcosm. Modern astrology incorporates psychological concepts from Jung. The birth chart captures the potential of a moment, but we and the charts are not static - astrologers study planetary cycles correlating to life stages and individual development.
The document discusses different perspectives on religion. It begins by questioning whether people truly have a choice in their religious beliefs, as most people inherit the religion of their parents and culture. This can lead to religious conflicts and violence when people fight over beliefs they may not have intrinsically chosen. The document then has a discussion about the different images and concepts people associate with the word "religion". It notes that being in a new environment away from home influences can allow one to freely choose their beliefs. In the end, it expresses a view of religion as a guide for morality and virtuous values.
Put your Hands on the Plough: And Never Look BackPeter Anyebe
Given a paradigm shift in which there are four, 4 realms of existence that include spirit, soul, mind, and matter rather than the current one, 1 realm that includes only matter; the possibility of causal openness and closure become apparent.
Thus energy exists in all four, 4 realms, but in different forms, to describe an open system that allows the free movement of energy between the realms.
In the spirit it is an idea, in the mind it is objectivity, in matter it is procedure, and in the soul, power.
But the system is also closed, to the extent that it obeys reciprocity, continuity, and conservation, for maturity.
Esoteric astrology looks at the soul and causes rather than just effects. It uses the seven rays - streams of energy from cosmic sources that condition all life. These rays, along with astrological influences, help describe the qualities of planets, signs, and people, allowing understanding of their interactions. Determining one's ray structure involves reflection on virtues and vices associated with each ray. Esoteric astrology provides insight into relationships on human, planetary and other levels as the science of all sciences.
Introduction to Greek and Medieval Philosophy SchoolsAhmed Elkhanany
This document provides an overview of early Greek philosophy, focusing on different thinkers' conceptions of arche (origin or first principle) and their relationship to being and becoming. It discusses the views of Thales, Anaximander, Anaximenes, Pythagoras, Xenophanes, Heraclitus, Parmenides, Empedocles, Democritus, and others. Key points of discussion include whether the arche is a material substance like water or air, an indefinite principle, numbers, God, or indivisible atoms. The document also contrasts empirical and rationalist approaches. Overall it traces the development of Greek philosophical thought regarding metaphysical questions of origin, being, becoming, and
This document discusses various philosophical arguments that have been used throughout history to provide rational justification for belief in God. It outlines logical proofs put forth by thinkers like Aristotle, Aquinas, Anselm, and others. It also examines criticisms of these types of arguments, noting issues like ambiguous premises, dependence on outdated scientific assumptions, and the inability of logic alone to prove empirical claims. The document aims to provide context around the development and critique of different theological proofs and approaches to reasoning about God's existence.
The document discusses the Egyptian concept of Kuklos Anankes (the inevitable cycle or circle of necessity) and how it relates to spiritual development. It describes ancient crypts and catacombs in Egypt and Chaldea where mystical teachings were practiced, focusing on the symbolism of serpents and conches. Esoteric students are guided to reflect on how these symbols represent the spiral nature of cosmic processes and individual evolution through multiple existences over cycles of rebirth.
THE QUEST FOR THE HOLY GRAIL: Closing the Circle of SpirituaityWilliam John Meegan
This paper analyzes biblical and other religious scriptures to understand how they describe "closing the circle of spirituality." The author realized these sources were describing the same psychological and spiritual processes using different symbols. Analyzing the first word of Genesis, "BERESHITH," the author finds it represents the cooperation of the conscious and unconscious minds. Bringing insights from Carl Jung, the author argues the ancient scriptures understood the psyche in a way comparable or greater than modern psychology. Comparing scriptures could lead to new understandings of religion, mythology and the human psyche.

Real Energy Systems, Spirits, and Substances to Heal, Change, and GrowCelestial Light
Energy. Psi, prana, mana, chi, divine power, the tao, reiki, or "vibes," every system of magic and mysticism calls the energies that power its practices by different names. Whether questioning the power of prayer or a healing session with a Reiki master an underlying question exists of whether this energy is all the same or if they exist as distinctly different "wavelengths" of some universal power?
When New Agers, occultists, spiritual healers, metaphysicians, artists, and Neopagans talk about the "energies" they use, what do they actually mean? Now, for the first time, a single book discusses the vocabulary, magic, metaphysics, art, and science of energy from a multi-model, 21st century perspective.
Lessons included will cover:
Physical vocabulary of energy
Metaphysical vocabulary of energy
How the laws of magic affect energy
The Importance of Focus
Real Energy will then take these lessons to the next level giving you direction on how to understand and begin working with different energies. Half of the book is dedicated to showing you how to work with specific energies, including: the four elements, crystals, plants, animals, your own body, nature spirits, ancestors, and deities to accomplish your goals and enhance life experiences. Specific energy work practices are also covered, including: Reiki, The Huna System, working with "Pure" ESP and PK, Feng Shui, and the Tantra System.
With tips from scientists, artists, magicians, and spiritual teachers, Real Energy will give you a solid introduction to both the theory and practice of energy work.
This document discusses how individuals have used their own expression to philosophically change the world. It explores how inner vision and leadership can move others towards new perspectives through voice, action, rebellion, and living stubbornly for one's beliefs. While the power of ideas and belief can inspire hope and philosophical questioning, that same power can also be abused to manipulate others through fear. The conclusion argues that the most important trait is an individual's ability to change their own perspective and reality by opening up to new possibilities.
This document summarizes the author's creative journey over several decades from a career in physics to focusing on art and self-exploration. It describes her shifting interests from a value of rational thinking to valuing social engagement to finding fulfillment through nature, painting, and exploring concepts like chaos theory, individuation, I Ching hexagrams, and theories of psychological development. The author immersed herself in various creative pursuits and used art to express insights gained from her readings on topics like Jung, chaos theory, and Dabrowski's theory of positive disintegration.
This document contains several quotes discussing the relationship between geometry, consciousness, space, and the divine. Some key ideas discussed are:
- Geometry arises from primordial energies and helps bring about recollection of eternal soul ideas.
- Our sense organs respond to the geometric properties of stimuli rather than just their chemical properties.
- Geometry allows the imagination to access eternal soul ideas and brings about divine recollection.
- Space and consciousness are identical infinite entities, and space can be seen as the body of the divine cosmic Christ.
PRECESSION OF THE EQUINOXES: How the Ancient Astrologers learn of itWilliam John Meegan
The document discusses how ancient astrologers could have learned about the precession of the equinoxes through observation and symbolic/iconographic thinking rather than just literal observation. It introduces the concept of the "Matrix of Wisdom," a symbolic representation of the soul and psyche that is said to be the foundation for many religious and esoteric traditions. Calculations based on coloring and numbering cells in the Matrix of Wisdom produce values close to half and the full precession of the equinoxes cycle, suggesting this was how ancient astrologers envisioned and calculated the precession.
Cosmic Software explained in easy to understand visual presentations.Chrissy Philp
The document discusses the ancient Greek concept of the four classical elements - earth, water, air, and fire. It explains how these elements were thought to represent both physical substances and symbolic or psychological attributes. The elements are explored through the writings of philosophers like Empedocles and connections to modern fields like chemistry and astrology. Diagrams mapping the elements and astrological signs illustrate how these frameworks can provide insight into human consciousness and the relationship between mind and matter.
This document provides information about the astrological ages and zodiacs. It discusses how Hipparchus studied the stars in 190 BCE and how the sidereal zodiac represents the patterns of visible stars. It then explains how the tropical zodiac divides the sidereal zodiac into 30 degree segments to accurately track planetary movement. Various diagrams are included to illustrate the relationship between the tropical zodiac, horoscopes, and the movement of the sun and earth. The document also summarizes how each astrological age influences and builds upon the previous age over approximately 2,000 year periods.
This document provides information about the astrological ages and zodiacs. It discusses how each new age emerges from the previous age and incorporates its influences, like tree rings. The four ages discussed are Taurus-Scorpio, Aries-Libra, Pisces-Virgo, and the coming Age of Aquarius. Each age is associated with prominent female figures, major developments in areas like religion, law, and education are traced back to the symbolic influences of the ages and zodiacs. Diagrams show the precession of the equinoxes and how this relates to the changing astrological ages over long time periods.
- Pluto was reclassified from a planet to a dwarf planet in 2006 after the IAU decided its orbit was not cleared of debris like the other planets.
- The term "plutoed" was coined to describe being demoted or devalued in the same way Pluto was reclassified.
- Pluto's orbit within Neptune's orbit between 1979-1999 led to its reclassification as its orbit is not like the other planets in the solar system.
1) Everything is constantly changing due to the movement dependent on the available energy. Too little or too much energy can cause problems.
2) Light propagates as electromagnetic waves at the constant speed of light, but the wavelengths differ and carry different amounts of energy. Red light has less energy than blue light.
3) Time and change may be an illusion created by the continuous updating of moments in our consciousness, similar to the illusion of movement in a film created by changing pixels. What exists outside of our awareness of the present moment is unknown.
Every now and then a new idea emerges that changes our understanding of ourselves and place in the universe. The human brain is incredibly complex software that converts light, sound, and symbols into pictures, words, and ideas, and allows for communication between minds. While modern science still struggles to understand the brain, some researchers have found insights by combining the symbolism of Chinese and Western astrology with psychological theories, illuminating a new model of the brain's workings. This discovery provides a new perspective on how the universe supplies the software that runs our minds.
1) Local time tells us where we are in our daily lives but cosmic time, based on astronomical changes, illuminates where we are in our lives as a whole.
2) Cosmic time is measured using the zodiac, which acts as a cosmic clock with the planets as hands moving against the backdrop of the 12 zodiac signs.
3) Though local times may differ in different locations, the positions of the planets are the same, showing that cosmically it is the same moment of consciousness.
The perfect natural intelligence systemChrissy Philp
This is an AI system based on an esoteric model of the brain called the Anima Mundi. This presentation was specifically designed to give an AI graduate, who had difficulty accepting archetypal language had any intrinsic value, the opportunity to prove the whole idea a load of occult rubbish. He failed. He pronounced the system a 'perfect natural intelligent system'. Since I believe the model upon which this AI system is based is the archetypal design behind the evolution of brain I was not surprised. .
Ancient astrologers could pick out seven planets, seven moving points of light in the night sky. They awarded them the attributes of angels, or gods. In this presentation I interpret the arrival of the New Kings chapters 17 to 19 as the introduction of the new planets beginning with Uranus, discovered in 1781. This takes us up to the present day and describes our sad insensitive destruction of our beautiful planet, so obsessed are we with consumption, and gaining absolute control of our environment in the interests of greed and fear.
This second presentation, Part One B, takes us up to chapter 3:18. This completes the letters to the angels and sums up their content. After this, if you are still interested, you will need to look at Part Two. Part Two deals with the introduction of the New Kings which, according to this interpretation, began with the discovery of the planet Uranus in 1781.
And I am wrong about copper being an alloy of brass and zinc aren't I? What I mean is brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. Silly me.
Electromagnetism, gravity and consciousness, is there a connection?Chrissy Philp
More illumination drawn from the wonderful Anima Mundi. This is one extraordinary model. Add the Zodiac - the map of the heavens - our cosmic clock - and it seems to describe everything from the layout of our brains to the workings of the universe! If you think 'this can't be true' I wholeheartedly agree, it can't be, but it keeps throwing up more and more amazing information. All I can do is pass this information onto you and leave you to make up your own mind on whether it's worth serious study. Do let me know what you decide. Sorry, I can't decide a category. I shall leave that to you too.
Squeeky is a greenfinch. His best friend is Goodasgold. He thinks this presentation is much better than any of mine and I think I agree with him. Watch and learn.
This opposition concerns the search for truth. Empiric thinking seeks truth through facts and evidence, while intuitive feeling sees truth as more subjective and based on faith. Both are valid but incomplete on their own. True understanding requires respecting both approaches and the middle path between them. The second opposition examines structure, with Capricorn seeking rigid boundaries and Saturn rules, while Sagittarius favors flexibility under Jupiter. Again, a balance is needed. The third opposition contrasts endurance through physical persistence for Taurus with creative beginnings and progress through change for Aries. They each temper the other's excesses. The final opposition involves regeneration, with Scorpio's compulsive power and decay represented by Pluto opposing Libra's romantic attraction
The document describes the Anima Mundi model, which represents the four classical elements - Earth, Air, Water, Fire - arranged in a pattern. It explains how this pattern can be visualized as a tree when rotated 90 degrees, with Air and Fire rising and Earth and Water falling. Photosynthesis and osmosis are used as examples of how the tree of life draws up and processes the elements. The model is also said to represent psychic energy flowing from source to manifestation. Finally, connections are made between the Anima Mundi, the tree of life described in Revelation, and constructing a tree model from the elemental arrangement.
The document illustrates two models - the Tropical Zodiac representing cyclic change through the sun's movement and seasons, and the Golden City representing archetypes arranged in space. On the Zodiac, the sun's alignment with the earth creates the seasons; on the Golden City, the archetypes' arrangement follows gravitational pull. Applying the DNA-like zodiac sequence to the Golden City creates a clover-leaf shape mapping intelligence and converting code into form, like tRNA. The models describe consciousness as being present in the now through a focus of all archetypes.
Astrology is considered unscientific by academics but remains popular. Richard Dawkins argued it should be seriously opposed. Early astrological studies failed to prove it scientifically due to oversimplifying its complexity. The presenter argues astrology works and aims to provide scientific credence. All sciences deal with phenomena beyond complete facts or understanding. Forces like gravity and magnetism were once invisible but astrological influences may operate through forces like the Earth's electromagnetic field. The zodiac maps planetary positions and the equinoxes/solstices mark astronomical transition points, like signs in astrology. Complex wave interference patterns could underlie astrological correlations.

1. Oppositions active in the
Anima Mundi
The Philosopher’s Stone.
Oppositions essential to the functioning of the
brain cause conflict in society. Understanding
these natural oppositions will allow us to utilise
them positively and construct a more
enlightened world. Yippee!
Astrologers familiar with ancient systems will recognise the
opposing signs in this model are semi-sextile therefore ‘disjoint’
on the Zodiac.
2. These are the Opposites on the ZODIAC
On the Zodiac positive signs
oppose positive signs, negative Mutable Water

Aries warrior fights for peace.
Earthy Virgo is anxiously aware
of Pisces chaos whereas
watery Pisces has a quite Virginal antipathy of anything crude.
On the Zodiac Water opposes Earth, and Air opposes Fire. Since Wet Earth is
fertile (sensual feeling), and Fire’s fuel is oxygen (intuitive thinking) you can see the
opposing signs have qualities that work together.
3. Liz Greene introduced me to Jung’s book Aion in 2005. Prior to this I had no idea
that the model in her book Relating, within which the new model was discovered in
1984, had such an exalted provenance.
AION is a Greek
word, it means
AGE.
How „THE SELF‟ is expressed in the experience of the individual?
And: The psychological significance of the Christian Era.
4. Here are some quotes from Aion.
‘The lapis (the philosopher’s stone)
consists of the four elements or has
to be put together from them’.
Morienus, from Tractatus Aureus, Aion,
p 236-237.
‘And as a man is made up of four
elements, so also is the stone, and
so it is dug out of man, and thou are
its ore’. Ibid, p. 168.
‘It is what is called ultimo exquadra circulae, the square in the circle,
or the circle in the square. It is an age-old symbol that goes right
back to the pre-history of man. It is all over the earth and it either
expresses the deity or the self;’
Conversations with Carl Jung and Reactions from Ernest Jones. Richard I.
Evans. Publisher: D. Van Nostrand Company. Princeton, NJ. 1964.
5. And here is Liz’s diagram from which I decided the positioning of
signs on the Anima Mundi. On the brain model empiric-thinking,
Air-Earth, is at the top.
Greene, L, Relating; An Astrological Guide to Living with Others on a Small Planet,
UK, Thorsons Publishers Ltd, 1977.
6. Just to remind you, this is how the astrological archetypes are arranged
when this model is applied to the brain.
Earth Air
Right Left Empiric-thinking Left Right
Intuitive-feeling
Water Fire
7. THE OPPOSITIONS
Empiric-thinking
Sensual-feeling Intuitive-thinking
Intuitive-feeling
8. And here are the oppositions on the new model.
Earth Air
Water Fire
9. ‘Mostly Harmless’
The problem is that our egos have the run of
this world of the inner psyche with no empiric-thinking
restrictions imposed. Our awareness
wanders. We concentrate on certain areas at
the expense of others. Our culture actively
encourages absurdity as conceptual fashions
bias us in favour of one direction or another.
Our birth charts predispose us to imbalance.
Imbalance can of course be creative – think
hammer - but not when it‘s a tool in the
hands of an idiot.
The present bias is towards empiric-thinking.
It’s easy to ‘see’ why – business and science
produce wealth. intuitive-feeling
‘Mostly harmless’ is the entry on planet Earth
in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy?
„Through the mixing of the four elements inequalities arose which caused
uncertainty and so necessitated decisions or acts of choice‟.
Paul Anton Lagarde, Clementina, from Aion, p. 56
10. I shall now apply a single word to each of the
signs of the Zodiac.
Of course each sign carries a world of
meanings but in this presentation, for the sake
of simplicity, I have chosen just one word.
11. The words I have chosen illustrate something about the
foundation significance of the specific astrological archetype.
Business Science
Practical Intellectual
Physical beauty Theoretical beauty
Death Birth
Mother Father
Mysticism Philosophy
Negative Signs Positive signs
12. COMPLEMENTARY CONNECTIONS
These words graphically display the complementary meaning held by paired signs.
‘Complementary’ means ‘to make complete’. Father without Mother is incomplete, etc.
Complements join the signs that share rulers on the old Ptolemaic Order.
Business WEALTH Science
Practical WORK Intellectual
Physical Beauty Theoretical Beauty
FORM
Death TIME Birth
Mother LIFE Father
Mysticism SOURCE Philosophy
13. Between Birth and Death, a connection I identified as representing passing
‘Time’, and Physical and Theoretical Beauty, which I have interpreted as ‘Form’,
is a point at which the lower and upper sections meet.

14. Familiar with the Hermann Minkowski space-time diagram I named this
central position ‘the present’.

PAST

15. Back to the perspicacious ancients: ‘Reduce your stone to the four
elements, rectify and combine them into one, and you will have the whole
magistery. The one, to which the elements must be reduced, is the little
circle in the centre of this squared figure. It is the mediator making peace
between the elements’. Tractatus Aureus, Aion, p. 239
This is an IMPORTANT statement.
16. These ‘complementary connections’ also correlate
extraordinarily successfully with the meanings
carried by the lines of Yijing (I Ching) in
Hexagrams I and 2.
This is the subject of another presentation.
17. You can think of our conscious awareness as like the Sun
shining on the Earth. Although Sydney and London exist at the
same time in space the Sun can only shine on one city at a time.
When it is daytime in London it is night-time in Sydney. It is the
same with these oppositions on the new model.
Now we will view the oppositions one by one.
The first opposition I have chosen to think about is concerned
with our search for -
TRUTH
Always remember:
„… the little circle in the centre of this squared figure. It is the
mediator making peace between the elements’.
18. „Where “truth” or “true” is defined, it
will be to the effect of “that which is a Empiric Thinking
fact” or “that which is verifiable …‟
William J. Shields, Wikipedia, Truth.
TRUTH
On Faith and Truth …my faith does not
require another to believe it. My faith is
rooted in what I believe is the best path for
me, not for you. If we are all one as I believe,
then there is no right or wrong, for how can
one part of the whole be right and another
Intuitive Feeling part be wrong? Curtis G Schmitt.
19. Subjective truth vs. objective truth.
TRUTH
This is the religion/science divide. John Templeton has left a $1.6 million prize for
any scientists prepared to ‘broker a partnership’ between this warring pair’. (New
Scientist, 2 August, 2008, p. 52) Here the scientist opposes the mystic yet they are both on
the same quest: both have an imperative inner desire to resolve this conundrum.
Scientists seek ‘truth’ through empiric-thinking, earth/air. They explore a world that
can be seen, felt, and touched. They poke it and prod it, slice it, measure it and
weigh it. With Saturn’s help (the earthy side of empiric-thinking) scientist’s achieve
spectacular results - quantitative methodology has won collective respect. It has
brought rewards but it is clearly failing to answer our deepest needs.
With Jupiter’s involvement (Jupiter is the fire side of intuitive-feeling) the mystic
seeks answers through introspection. We are alive! This is an amazing fact.
Something, a mystery to the empiric-thinking self but clearly part of a greater whole,
is operating.
This enigmatic source is full of yearning. Without respect for its opposite this
position is responsible for a plethora of dangerous delusions.
So science is the enemy of religion and religion is the enemy of science. History
supplies us with endless well-documented examples. The Church vs. Galileo,
Evolution vs. Creationism.
Mysticism, when it unwisely attempts to commandeer the surety of empiric-thinking,
results in megalomania. Conversely, arrogantly discounting the enigmatic source
puts science on a course set to destroy our world.
Only respect for both methods of gaining information will supply us with an accurate
picture.
20. Empiric Thinking
TRUTH
Inconsequentiality
‘… to see the world and

between the elements’. Merleau Ponty, The
Tractatus Aureus, Aion, p. 239
Phenomenology of Perception, xv.
„Philosophy is not the reflection
Relativism of a pure existing truth, but, like
art, the act of bringing, truth into
being‟. Ponty, Phenomenology of
Perception, xxii
Intuitive Feeling
21. ‘Opposites always entail each other, and can only be separated abstractly and
at the risk of upsetting the rhythm of life by treating them as really inseparable.
Enforcing order produces disorder. Attempts at overt control on behalf of one
half of the dyad at the expense the other half, whether such manipulations be
political or otherwise, simply makes things worse.’
Daodejing, Ames and Hall, p.168, 2003.
So to sum up … Both the mystic and the scientist are seeking truth but while the mystic has
faith in the idea that intuitive-feeling as ‘the way’ to find it, the scientist has concluded that
empiric-thinking - thinking with facts provided by the senses (which clearly requires
experiments carried out on the ’real’ physical world) - is the only reliable method. Either way
they both miss out if they do not give credence to the opposing side.
When Christian ideology ruled intuitive-feeling won, lately it has been the turn of science.
That either should win is a disaster because in both cases they fail. ….Indeed it can be
seen that the entailed opposite gains the upper hand. …
What about the little circle at the centre? Between Time and Form, is the upsurging ‘reality’
of the moment - the ‘absolutism’ of being here right now.
In terms of entailment this axis illustrates the discontinuity between ‘awake’ (Uranus is
called the awakener) and asleep (Neptune is the dreamer). You can’t be both at once.
Descartes said ‘I think therefore I am’. That’s OK as far as it goes. But this model points out
that I also sense, intuit, and feel therefore I am. Should anyone of these modus operandi be
excluded the I am is never going to get a grip on the total situation. …….
24. STRUCTURE Here we are looking at the opposition between the
Capricornian businessman and the Sagittarian philosopher. What use can the
businessman see in the student, pack on back, off to see the world?
Saturn, Capricorn’s ruling planet, stands for boundaries, for stones and bones, walls,
teeth and skin. The danger in Saturn is crystallisation. Capricornian/Saturnian
structures are necessary but are by nature inflexible. Secular law is cold and
unforgiving. It has literally ‘no give’. Yet Saturn ruled the Golden Age - civilization
depends on society following the rules. Imagine a city where nobody drives on the
correct side of the road and nobody stops for a red light.
Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, optimistic king of the gods. Sagittarius is flexible. The
philosopher seeks the structure in experience. The structure of moral law takes
account of subtleties: ethics are forever reviewable. Sagittarius is intuitive
‘knowledge’. The world is Sag’s oyster, a wonderful place promising adventure and
requiring exploration. The demands made by this position are grow, learn and expand.
Life is regarded as an adventure. The weakness is over-optimism and irresponsibility.
Juno/Hera, Jupiter’s consort, was not a happy wife.
When corrupted by its opposite this position produces fundamentalism.
The Government, the police, the Law Courts, these are Capricornian institutions. The
structure of Sag is ninth house. Universities were set up by the priesthood.
This is also the opposition between Fear (Saturn) and Greed (Jupiter). Perfect
structure, like truth, is in the middle.
27. ENDURANCE Sensual-feeling Taurus attempting to conserve
physical values opposes pioneering, intuitive-thinking creative Aries. Taurus is
concerned with safety, security, and dependability. Its ruling planet is Mother
Earth, its house the 2nd house of home.
Aries is spring. It is vibrant. It stands for beginnings when all is young and fresh
and full of potential. At its best it is progress through change. Its house is the 1st
house of birth.
I learnt about this opposition through a news broadcast. It described a conflict
between conservationists and the building of a new bypass.
A Taurus image is the oak tree. Taurus endures through strength and
persistence.
An Aries image is the warrior. Ruled by the planet Mars it is brimful of vitality,
courage and heroism. Every year it brings a new spring. Mars is intuitive-
thinking. It is made up of the elements Fire and Air: Fire feeds on oxygen.
Martian desire is hot.
Taurus, left to its own devises, in spite of its strength, could not endure. Its dark
side is ‘materialism’. Aries, like a military tank, left to its own devises would
carelessly destroy everything in its path. Its dark side is vandalism.
They are both necessary. Together they modify the expression of the other so
that life endures.
30. REGENERATION
Scorpio, ruled by Pluto, king of the underworld, is
compulsive power. Scorpio is negative and therefore physical. This compulsive
power can be seen operating in the sexual act . It is carried out in secret.
What is more physical and compulsive than orgasm. It is the power of the
contractions that give birth to the child – even if the birth kills. Libra, partnership,
ruled by Venus, is romantic love.
This is a powerful opposition – Pluto means power. The Greek myth of Pluto and
Persephone, the Babylonian myth of Ereshkigal and Innana, they both deal with
this Scorpio Libra issue.
Pluto wears a helmet of invisibility when he comes to the upper world – he is not
pretty. Scorpio is that time of year when leaves fall. Pluto is shit and compost
heaps and rotting fruit. His dark side is despair. Pluto breaks down old forms so
that they can be re-assimilated into the system. He is also the seed inside the fruit
personified by Persephone and symbolised by the pomegranate she carries. He is
one end of the regeneration process - Venus is the other. She is the beautiful
flower that entices and attracts.
Pluto is responsible for fossil fuels which result from the regeneration process. So
far he has kept our world clean but he cannot regenerate Plutonium. This is a
modern issue that is waiting to be addressed.
Venus is attraction. She understands the other. She is beautiful and charming but
also manipulative. She knows exactly how to entice. Another name for intuitive-
thinking is imagination. Venus uses imagination to conjure up images of romance
in her famous mirror. Her dark side is romantic illusion.
Each is indispensible to the other but they are very different.
33. ORGANISATION Leo, The King, the Father, the boss, organises
the large scale: kingdoms, companies and families. The planets orbit the Leo
Sun.
Virgo the secretary, the nurse, the servant, organises the details. Virgo is
practicality personified.
Leo is vision. No sunlight and we would require no eyes. Leo sees. We ‘see’ with
our hearts. ‘I see’ means ‘I understand.’
Virgo looks. Seeing and looking are different and entailed.
Conscious awareness (unless it is in the centre) is limited to only one area at a
time just as - I explained previously - the Sun cannot shine at the same time on
Sydney and London.
Looking requires concentrated effort. Most of the time we get along with just
seeing. If you want to draw something accurately you are required to look.
Virgo, ‘complementary’ partner to Gemini, rules libraries, where ideas are stored
in a myriad words and pictures.
Virgo can be involved with detail to the point of neurosis.
Leo can be self-centred to the point of tyranny.
34. This is where we begin to see exactly how
these functions of perception act in the brain.
Remember, opposites always entail each
other, and can only be separated
abstractly.
35. When I was in art school our teacher asked us if we knew what a
post box looked like and we all chorused YEAH. So he asked us
to draw one and we failed. We couldn't remember the details.
He sent us out to look.
Virgo LOOKS out into the world. It deals with a myriad details.
Leo can see things with the MIND’S EYE. Cancer memory (water
retains heat) memorises Leo images so we can recognise what
we see. We cannot look and see at the same time. If you are
visualising your front door you will not see what is in front of your
eyes. Try it.

Thinking
We pat our hearts when we use the word me.
‘Me‟ is the centre of the throbbing mass that is my
body (the Receptive Earth). ‘I‟ seems to hang
out somewhere in my head.
SURVIVAL
We say:
I AM ME
Feeling
39. SURVIVAL Cancer is gut feeling. Gemini is the wits. They work for
our survival. The guts will throw up if anything endangers the digestive system,
this will embarrass the wits no end, on the other hand the guts would not survive
without the wits to work out how to get us the next meal.
Cancer is ruled by the instinctual Moon. This is the place of the physical heart.
Straight square great without purpose’. The heart pumps the blood around the
body, its ‘complement’, Leo, supplies the energy, the beat.
The dark side of Cancer is self-pity (this is not Neptunian martyrdom). Poor me.
… The dark side of Gemini is superficiality.
Gemini, ruled by Mercury, messenger of the gods, is a ‘flying dragon in the
heavens’. It is pure thought.
Gemini rules the journalist. Mercury is not particularly interested in facts - facts
can get in the way of a good story . It is not intuitive either so here we see it as
ruling pure Air on the philosopher’s stone. It is invisible but it has a profound
reality and is so important we have given it a name. We call it „I‟.
The Dao De Jing begins by defining this pair, ‘Desire nothing and you will know
the nameless’. ‘I’ can only be directly experienced when the mind chatter is off.
‘Desire and you will know the manifest.’ The physical body has needs that must
be satisfied. ‘They are the same and yet different, a gateway of life’.
Consciousness says ‘I am me‟. Our sense of ourselves is the product of entailed,
opposite, cognitive functions, neither I nor me but the result of the interaction
between the two.
We are back at the middle again.
40. And here another ‘entailment.
‘Hearing’ and ‘listening’.
After years of thought I have finally decided with confidence which word fits which
position. Listening suggests an innate understanding of the meaning held by a
sound. Grrrrrrrrrrr – the meaning in this is obvious.
?
My husband was watching
Wallander. It has subtitles – the
words were written on the screen.
‘I need to turn up the sound’, he
hearing said.
Ah Ha! He needed the extra
information given by the
intonations.
Much underlying meaning is
carried by the intonations. The
O Moon reacts instinctively to
listening dangerous intonations. Mercury is
concerned with understanding the
actual words.
To understand this entailment concentrate on the sounds in your environment.
When you do this it is difficult to also understand exactly what people are saying.
41. And here is further entailment concerning these two.
Cancer is Water – pure feeling. If you concentrate on how
your big toe feels or on listening to your heart beat
you will have to suspend thinking.
Try it.

42. Brain specialists equate the frontal part of the brain with MIND. The older
part of the brain is at the back. This is the instinctive brain. We can think of
it as Heart.
Nothing we have learnt from studying the archetypes on our model would
disagree.
MIND and
HEART
43. Here is the Philosopher’s Stone. again
I think that it is beautiful. I hope it helped you to understand the opposites.
