Taoist Astrology and the Structure of the UniverseIn the Taoist view, their highly advanced insights could only come about through the
growth of the higher centers and glands which allowed them to perceive and understand
the reality of the universe beyond the normal material and visible manifestations.
Of course, astronomy provides us with a great deal of interesting information. It has
recently become clearer that astronomy parallels all universal law. We should realize that
these laws can be further enhanced with the aid of high powered telescopes. Taoists say
“without leaving the room, you can know heaven and earth”.
The Newtonian view of the universe which uses a mechanical approach to reality by
way of an exclusively rational concept at the expense of our body, our ability to sense and
use our intuition and feelings, has gradually and increasingly disconnected us from the
realm of the spirit and the living cosmos.
Strangely enough, the more we attempted to know the universe through observation
with a telescope, the more we became separated from its subtle origin.
This is so, as the rational mind tends to move horizontally and may find it difficult to
enter into the realm of the spiritual laws. Unless of course it is the rational mind of a
spiritually evolved person. Each time an astronomer reaches further into the universe,
finding new information, some scientists try to use it in a concept of how the history of
nature formed and the universe must be. But these fundamental questions cannot be
solved within the realm of time and space. It is good news to see that a growing number of
modern scientists are becoming more open to the paradigm that the universe has a time-
less and spaceless origin.
“As above, so below”, we look at ourselves the same way that we look at the universe,
even if we are not concerned about the direct connection between the two. If we try to
understand the body, by way of observation with a microscope and chemical analysis, it
may help us to see how the laws of energy and Chi manifest in the realm of matter. It may
increase our ability to enhance the fundamental questions of life which lead to greater
freedom and happiness.
Many scientists who previously subscribed to the Newtonian view now agree to the
following: that the essence of the material world are frozen energy waves that appear as
matter to the external senses.
Many scientists believe that by the year 2030, the computer will be able to take over
the complete human brain function. This idea is well accepted in modern science but
shows at the same time, the very limited understanding of the true quality of our intelli-
gence and the human mind.
Centuries of religious repression have discouraged people’s sense of responsibility
for their lives as well as the search for freedom and spiritual independence. Hence, sci-
ence, astronomy, religion and many other fields of experience can be useful in our search
for spiritual achievements. All of these schools of thought merge into one, as they recon-
nect to our true origin.
Working with planetary and star energies gives us an access to the ground layers of
our emotional, social and mental tendencies. The rational mind and emotions, higher
mind and spirit are related to the planets and star/world. Star energy and higher mental
energy have a higher frequency than planet and rational mind/emotional energy. The
