Astronomical Overview
How to use the Astronomical Information in this book.............................................
Astronomy is a valuable tool to understand and cultivate our relationship with the material
universe. The accumulation of astronomical knowledge does, of course, not guarantee a
higher energy and awareness level. The information presented may help you create a
direct experiential link between where you are living now on the earth and the heavenly
energies of planets and stars. Only when this direct, experiential contact is made, can the
study of and meditation on the universe improve your quality of life.
In this chapter, we will summarize some basic astronomical facts. They are meant to
increase your understanding of the world of stars and planets. If we study some basic
astronomy and use it to expand our awareness, our intellectual mind will be more satisfied
and will be able to function as a vehicle that can travel beyond time and space. Together
with the accompanying pictures it is presented to give you some specific connection points
during the meditations. After you have studied the information, simply put the picture in
front of you and take it in deeply. Empty the mind of all other activity.
Then close your eyes, expand your awareness and travel with your intention in space.
Be aware that the physical objects you are connecting to are just the materialized centers
of an energy field or belt. It is the frequency and the energy in the belt that you are tuning
into. So, relax.
Keep your hands on the Tan Tien and keep the energy deep inside. Repeat this pro-
cess 4 to 5 times until you start to feel the connection. Use the meditation techniques as
described in chapter XI.
Formation of the Solar System...............................................................................
Planet earth is a small planet that has an annual cycle around a middle-sized star, the
sun. There are nine planets in our solar system. Together with the planetoids, satellites,
comets, meteors and some gas and dust formations, they form our solar system.
The sun is 10 times as big as the biggest planet in our solar system, which is Jupiter
and more than 100 times larger than the earth. Since the mass of the sun is 330,000 times
greater than the earth, its gravitational force holds the earth in a fixed yearly cycle. Many
believe the birth of the solar system was introduced by the implosion of a cloud of gas and
dust. The reason for this implosion is still a mystery, but meteor analyses shows that an
exploding star or supernova might have caused this.
