Theos-Talk Archives (December 1995 Message tl00321)

TO ANN B.:
I usually don't talk about astrology because a lot of people aren't interested.
But many theosophists take it not literally but as another symbolic key like
the tarot or the kabala et. Thanks for pointing out that Uranus will be moving
into Uranus in Jan. 1996. This will modify the influence of Capricorn on large
social issues as is the want of the outter planets I'm told. Uranus will be
moving into his own sign wow! I think this will be the dawning of major cyle
of Aquarius in our present cyle but not the age of Aquarius according to the
precession of equinoxes of course.

I think the interent will continue to be a world-wide social influence on the
scale that rock music was in the sixites. It wil be a linking of the great and
small minds of the world. It will create an electronic nervous system or
noosphere for humanity and humanitie's mentality is part of the noosphere of
Gaia. Will it be used for political scheming and crass comercialism? You bet!!
But does it have the potential for increasing the sprititual and mental
vibrations of the entire planet? Yeah I think so? What we are doing is being
expanded and will continue to offer new ways for people to link spiritually. We
percipitate letters seemingly easier than the Masters did. No need for
cabinets in India at al with Windows 95.

Have other people tried all the "spiritual"? software out there? There are
all kind of programs that attempt to put the iching tarot kabala numerology
meditation and many other things on the computer? I think they are mostly toys
but many are quite informative and fun. What would a practical theosophy
program look like? New Age music mandalas meditation history and quotes
from Blavatsky and maybe a few vegetarian recipes?

Don DeGracia has a good brief "Introduction to Theosophy" as a WIndows help
file type program. There was talk some time back about having a Sega type
theosophy game remember that? Kind of like Master of the 07 Globes in Spiritual
Immortal Kombat or something. But would KH make a goood action figure?

But seriously something tells me that the computer mulit-media really could be
used in some ways to have a positive spiritual impact the way TV rap rock and
violent computer games have a negative spiritual impact increasing violence
rape and a variety of negative thoughtforms. Generation X seems to be as
interactive as the baby boomers are passive remember staring blankly at all
those episodes of "I Love Lucy"? well the computer games demand attention and
movement

I'm kinding of brainstorming as you can tell. Has anyone gottten results with
Blavatsky's Diagram of Meditation? If I remember it is in full color and
attempts to focus the mind in buddhi-manas while rooting or suspending the other
principles. Now that might be an interesting project! The computers could be
perhaps used to draw one into deeper levels on one's spirituality as the current
games have levels of physical conflict. I have used the video tapes of the
Mandelbrot and Julia Fractal Sets as an open eyed meditation. Someone is going
to come up with something with Uranus in Aquarius.
