Myself when young

did eagerly frequent

halls of great learning

and heard much argument

but evermore

went out by that same door

wherein I went!

-------------------------------

All thought is conscious.

Consciousness functions through duality.

Ergo it is the wrong instrument to define God.

As Jung said: the longest journey we have to make is from the mind to the

heart!

Why do u suppose he carved a child on the Bollingen Stone?

The way inward lies in uniting opposites. Sym-bolos.

Think of physical conception. Sperm/egg n the mathematical sequence of

mitosis.

Yin/yang symbol lies w/in a surrounding circle. The empty circle = unmanifest

Spirit. So perhaps the mystery of sperm/egg is the unmanifest mystery of LIFE

manifesting...........the pook! :]

In re: Newton. He was also an astrologer. When rebuked by a fellow scientist,

he replied: " Sir, have you studied the matter? I have! "

-----------------------------

If one views astrology - as Jung did - one can see that it is a symbolic

language of archetypal processes. Verbs. These unite science and religion.

During

the Age of Reason both science and religion cast it out. In so doing, IMHO,

religion lost its proof and science its sense of the sacred.

So astrology was reduced in large part to the role of a fallen woman

associated w/Madame La Zongas, superstitious twaddle for nincompoops, which is

what I

myself considered it until I was 21. For wh I am grateful bec I can fully

understand a sceptic!

I have spent 61 yrs now trying, along w/others, to restore it to its rightful

dignity. Theoretical physics may well be the way, according to Capra, to

reunite science n religion. I co-taught w/Capra on a ship going around the

Mediterranean. I have the highest regard for him n for Rupert Sheldrake who is

the

author of MORPHIC RESONANCE, a challenge to Darwinian theory. Met him in Bombay

n ag in Calif. Now the two have co-authored a bk, I think.I think ? I was told

that at a Musuem of Science there is an inscription on a wall detailing the

History of Science and Astrology is the earliest listed - at least 4000 years

old. It has also evolved thru time.

For anyone interested, e-m privately n I cn send a copy of an article I wrote

n is published titled " In the Beginning was a Verb: On the Stratification of

Archetypes. "

I think in the end we need endophysics rather than metaphysics. Everything we

seek is in plain sight but we need to consider the obvious! as Jung shouted

at me in my dream.

" Heaven is spread upon the earth but men do not see it. "

" Having eyes, we do not see. " Nothing is hidden. We are blind. Yet there is a

way of seeing. Jung could see.

It's like popcorn. Once you've popped, you've popped!

Think of looking the wrong end of a kaleidoscope - chaos!

Think of the wrong side of a patterned sock - that's the way we see ourselves

- a tangled mess - aha! but Spirit wears socks right side out - there's hope

for us all!
