Are Not Sun-Ship Spheres Different In These Matters?

They are differentiated in their predominant expressions of the Sun-ship as you may learn from the "tablets" on the wonder wheel. Taurus people are very "determined," Leo people "lordly," Aries, "independent," etc. All Sun-ships have equal power, when circumstances demand, and the will is exercised. "Where there la a will, there is always a way." This is the line on which church people have attempted to teach, but by ignoring the ancient landmarks, known as astrology, they are unable to play upon the proper string of the "harp with a thousand strings"(Human nature), and so each case is treated alike, and only the few are benefited by the suggestions of the church. Jesus of Nazareth spoke of this in the parable, "A sower wont forth to sow." Churches ignoring astrology have lost the power to distinguish the differentiations of man's Sun-ship, hence, like the sower, they take chances; scatter their suggestions in haphazard manner, and let such as will take root. We are impressed, to say that astrology, for a wise purpose, has been kept in the background by some church magnates. while others have run wild without it. The time is not far distant when astrology will rule the world In both church and state: "Thy Kingdom Come; Thy Will Be Done, in Earth as It Is Done in Heaven,"

Questions And Answers Relating To Astrology 167

Why Should We Depend On What The Ancients Declared When They Were Unprovided With Instruments Such As We Today Possess And Could Not Have Known Of Some Matters As Known Today?

Facts which the ancients discovered and which have not been disproved belong to the credit of the ancients and not to the credit of our time. Because Galileo thought the Moons of Jupiter were planets should we discard his law of motion. Because Copernicus supported the motion of celestial bodies as uniformly circular, and had not discovered the true path of the earth, should we discard his other findings that have not been disproved? Because neither of them knew the laws of gravitation, should we declare them ignorant in their as-trologic findings? On the same principle should we maintain that prior ancients were in error on the subject of astrology, because we have been led to think that they believed the earth flat with the Sun moving around it. and especially should we maintain this unjust assumption when by demonstrations of the present day, it can be proven that the astrologic law remains unchanged, whether the earth be a cube or a globe, or whether the Sun goes around the earth or earth around the Sun? We do not think the prehistoric ancients were as ignorant of these laws of Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler and Newton, as we suppose them to have been, but they were not as well provided then as now with means to demonstrate their knowledge, hence by using such means as were convenient, the after world, known as the dark ages, lapsed into a recognition of the means employed, as exact evidences of what the wise men knew.

Even in this age we find that the popular minds do not understand truths as scientists understand them, and yet books are too often written by popular minds with truths distorted, while the real truths are grasped only by the minds of the few. Take the subject astrology today, and not one. of those who oppose it have yet learned what it is. Those who know what it is could not oppose it. They who contend against it are contending with distorted and perverted astrology and we contend with the same, hence it is very difficult to reach an honest mind with true astrology. Kepler found hard work to present the truths which he knew, so when he offered his book with views contrary to those entertained in his day, he said: "It may well wait a century for a reader, as God has waited 6000 years for an observer."

So Kepler Believed The Earth But 6000 Years Old?

Yes. Great men are ignorant on some points, but Kepler's ignorance does not destroy the truths of "Kepler's three laws." A professor of a college once attempted to fasten a door with a button. He put it on the door and then cursed the button because it failed to do its work. Another, a learned judge, threw a dictionary into the waste basket because he could not find the word "gnome."He was looking in N. Only recently I heard a reputable Harvard graduate declare that a "couple of twins"born at the same minute, and developing different dispositions and other qualities, disproved the truths of astrology. When evidence is wanted of twins being born in 60 seconds I marvelled over the advent of a "couple of twins,"in like time. All learned men may be authority in their own respective lines of study, but no learned man is authority concerning astrology unless he has studied the astrologia sana advocated by Bacon, and no student in this line ever yet denied the truth of astrology. Rev. Dr. J. Butler, in the 18th century, studied astrology for the purpose as he admitted "to throw dirt at it"It cured him of his ignorance and he wrote a "Vindication of Astrology," succeeded by his "On Human Nature," which it is admitted constitutes one of the most important contributions ever made to moral science. Locke Was an earnest follower of Bacon and Descartes, both of whom were noted astrologers. Locke. Butler and Bacon gathered their knowledge of human nature through the science of astrology.

Do People Generally Express Themselves From Their Sun-Ship Nature?

Very seldom. We are all more or less hypocritical. We must summer and winter a person to get at the Sun-ship nature. Of itself, the Sun-ship nature is always good, but its mode of expression on the Moon plane is what creates all troubles, all sorrows, all sickness and all deaths. For instance, Aries, Taurus. Leo or any of the other qualities found on the tablets of the wonder wheel are all good. The evils of life depend upon how those qualities are expressed, in association with others, for as we express them, is precisely in accordance with the Moon forces, as they reflect through us; provided, we do not continually exercise our will power in mastery of the soul over the senses. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty."True Christianity is non-resis-tance, coupled with complete self-control.

When Should People Engage To Marry?
