Astrology and the Science of Numbers ( Numerology )

Astrology & Gemology

About Astro-Gemology , Manley Hall writes in the "Secret

Teachings of all Ages " that " The rays of the celestial

bodies, striking the crystallizing influences of the lower

world, become the various elements. Partaking of the astral

virtues of their source, these elements neutrallize certain

unbalanced forms of celestial activity & when properly

combined, contribute much to the well-being of man". This is

the rationale of Planetary Gemology.

Astrology & Yoga

Union via Action ( Karma Yoga )

While acknowledging the fact the the One Universal Substance

which compose the differentiated parts of the Universe is

all this , one should indulge in selfless service and love

for Him. Man has two duties - Duty unto Caesar means we have

to do our wordly duties & Duty unto Self or God means we

have to do selfless service to our brethren so that we

fulfill the divine humanity in ourselves.

There is a poetic verse which says that trees exist for

altruism, that rivers exist for altruism, that cows exist

for altruism and hence this body is for Altruism or selfless

service. The basis of all service is Love. When we love, we

serve. Service is divine and service is one of the means to

exhaust one's own Karma . Karma is defined as action and all

actions have reactions. The Grand Law of Causation, the Law

of Cause and Effect, the Law of Retribution is called

philosophically as the Law of Karma. So we as composite

creatures have done both good and evil and good & evil

karmas haunt us. But in order to attain to

Self-Actualisation, we should exhaust our karma. As far as

karma is concerned there will be backlog and it will be

difficult to exhaust karma all of a sudden. But absolute

surrender to the Divine is the only remedy and while we

tread the Path Celestial, all karmas get burnt up.

In Silence, we have to climb from our own earths to our own

heavens, rendering to the Caesar of the outer world the

things which are lawfully his, and at the same time

fulfilling the Law of Wisdom which will set us up and

distinguish us from the ranks of other men. it is true that

many adversities and opposition we may have to confront. But

these are merely parts of the process and tests of fidelity.

Some people on this Path Eternal complain that they and

their friends also are visited by misfortune. But we have to

understand that they are wages and Initiation is a process

of intensive culture and accelerated evolution. It is our

Karma exhausting itself.

We have to understand that the Divine Will is leading us,

through every circumstance, towards the Final Realisation.

This faith will give us equanimity.

Astrology & Occult Vibratory Chemistry ( Tantra )

Vedanta deals with Absolute Being or Sat. Tantra, on the

other hand, deals with Tat, which is both Absolute Being and

Relative Being, or Being absolutely Relative and relatively

Absolute. Creation is the play & display of Cosmic

Intelligence and this Intelligence is defined as Tat in

Tantra.

Astrology & Quantum Medicine

Quantum or Holistic Medicine emphasises that the Whole is

greater than the sum of its parts and that the patient who

has the disease is more important than the disease of the

patient! It is linked to Astrology in the sense that both

deal with the Universal and are branches of Universal

Philosophy. Quality content about Western Holistic Medicine
