Re: Astrology & Health

Read 'em both and they are great books...I agree that Science and spirituality are not mutually exclusive...although I do believe that there comes a point where things cannot be explained...enter the mysteries!

Ahhh...wu wei...'doing nothing'....how right you are that it does not mean 'inaction'...and often confused for such! But the Tao also gives great caution about 'words' and that the conceptual mind is not the True Mind...centered in the heart and arising from spiritual energy. One of the many paradoxes...that the Taoist cannon is emmense and that many Taoists were/are very gifted scholars! No..the pursuit of knowledge is certainly not useless! But studying about the True Mind...complete with psychic abilities, etc....is not a substitue for experiencing it directly.

Children don't lose their True Mind as a function of age...they lose it as their energies become dispersed in the world of this and that...the polarities. There are adults who maintain/regain this perspective and raise their children in such a way that they too, retain these abilities....although the numbers are probably far less than you suggested...in part because of additional influences of culture which do not support...but rather discourage them. Locating folks with a foot firmly planted in both worlds...science and spirit...is a rare treasure! I'm sure their are closet mystics in the scientific ranks...but do they dare come out of that closet and risk the ostracism of their colleagues?! The scientific community is hardly objective and open-minded about such things!

You say that you are acquainted with the 'notion' of the quiet mind...why not experience it directly? Prove it for yourself! ; )
