Since I was in my teens. I always heard my Aries dad talk about stuff like "Nah he's a Libra, he wants everyone to be on equal terms with him" or shit like that.

It's not until I was in my 30s that I learned there's more than sun signs. I still don't know much about astro though and need to google conjunct, square and shit lmao.

That's interesting. I didn't know there was an astrology influence in your country. The only thing my parents vaguely followed was the Chinese zodiac, but I figured it had more to do with the year someone was born as they didn't really keep track back then.

A lot of Filipinos read horoscopes, we have Cosmopolitan Philippines after all and I remember reading my older sister's bedside astrologer when I was in 4th grade. Morning talk shows always have segments on Chinese Zodiac and predicting your lucky color, lucky number etc for the day. You won't find a lot of Asians who dive deep into Western Astrology though. We still lean towards the Chinese zodiac, luck superstition etc.

@Jan12girl.. there is a sort of mysticism or universal order to it, isnt there. It draws from a model of the 4 seasons, the human body, the number 12. Getting a bit davinci code there. Its not unlike an ancient philosophy, it *is an ancient philosphy. A way in which to try to know the world. If only Pluto was a planet and we had 3 more to complete the cycle.

Anyway, back to cat lady astrology.

RIGHT BEFORE I read your post I was thinking why do I remember that I was Gemini…ALWAYS!!!..though in my country nobody really cared…nor practiced except cartomancia.

But we had read Chinese Horoscope and my aunt was an amazing cartomancist and since I remember dreams interpretation and ouija boards…

All the birth charts and ā€˜composition’ charts I first started to research at age of 42.

But it been packed and ready forever…

Yes it seems there is . I had said somewhere here that world runs on some sort of universal mathematical program. There is some code there . Unfortunately my knowledge is very limited but as and when I get a glimpse of things my mind automatically interconnects. I wonder how much more can be broken down in knowing things when we have in-depth knowledge of things.

Since u mentioned numbers , I had previously spoken about Belford law , Fibonacci numbers . How the numbers always function in a certain manner . Not just one number and it’s basic maths rule but how if things are broken down in numbers they behave in exact pattern. As if they are not just digits .

That’s why so many intellects of prehistoric times and even modern times had knowledge of multiple subjects and they were so much into universal mystical aspect of things . Because one knowledge leads to the other .

If the world is running on some sort of program, there’s a chance we all exist inside a simulation. An interesting thought.

Well those are some of many ideas that the thinkers have explored . My thought process is that i am not existing in some one’s stimulated world . I think we are very much there in flesh and blood , very much tangible . But yes I never rule out that I could be wrong and anything is possible .

When we speak about code , why do we think it’s human or human like intelligence created . From what I understand every scientific invention is derived from nature and workings of it . Humans programmed using codes but that was also derived from scientific knowledge of universe ( the extent to which we know ) . And what is science ? Physics , chemistry , biology - natural factual order of things and their primary nature . Everything follows a rule and we learnt to apply it.

I don’t know if I made sense šŸ˜„

It does make sense. However, just see human code as a kind of language expressing some existing fact. Describing the same fact in different languages doesn’t change the fact in itself. So even though we have human code the fact it represents could very well be alien for example.

I had to read it a couple of times to get it .

Anyway Yes . What you said and how I understand is in sync with my idea of it all. The fact is same , the logics are same . The underlying principle is same , no matter what the language is .

Also when u say alien do you mean pertaining to alien extraterrestrial life or alien ie. Just something unfamiliar to humans . They could be same or different. For eg a higher power that we all refer to as god may not be a life form but still alien . Now if we are created by another life form then what code did they need to exist ? So my understanding is that it’s not just human code but universal code . A universal system that follows principles of maths . These principles are not just followed by us but everything in our physical world . ( more I said it more it feels like a virtual world to me lol)

An eg. If we think of karma . Karma to me is some sort of program that links our inner self to the outcome. No one is sitting up there and keeping a journal of our thoughts and actions. It’s like a program code is followed .

Something like

Action 1 - outcome a

Action 2 - outcome b

Action 3 - outcome c

Action 1 & 3 - delayed out come b

We see action 1 and wonder why there is no outcome A but we miss seeing there was also an action 3 .

This is the only way it makes sense to me šŸ™ˆ

Any civilization that’s way more advanced than us can appear god like. Imagine medieval times compared to today, having airplanes and such. Now imagine an alien life form that’s a thousand or more years ahead of us.

That said, I don’t know if there’s a steering power behind all that or not. Even if something has just a tiny chance to come into existence, like life on earth, if you’ve got a universe vast enough the dice of chance might lead to such result even though that outcome isn’t probable at all. I agree though that there is some kind of mechanic behind it. If everything was pure chaos we couldn’t describe it in mathematic laws and with logic.

I don’t believe in karma really. At least not that it works like, you do something wrong and get punished for it. Even more, I do think all laws and rules we follow are man made. There is no law in the universe that demands those. It’s just some kind of agreement, like the Ten Commandments are basic laws to allow for a nomadic civilization to become a city based one. They define a code of conduct.

Everything you do, even things you don’t do, influences your surroundings. It could alter the environment, behavior of others, etc. It’s like a tiny wave that can lead to a bigger chain reaction. But I don’t think someone monitors you and judges your intent. And sometimes evil gets punished for deeds as a matter of cause and effect, and sometimes it simply goes unnoticed.

I had been obsessed by that idea ever since I first watched a show called Ancients aliens. And then promethous movie took me more into that . I still believe most names we know as gods who visited earth were advanced outer space beings . Advanced in many ways not just technologically but even in wisdom .

šŸ‘†šŸ»Agree with every word there .

About karma . I don’t know to be honest . It’s just that , it is the only way we can find some logic behind suffering. Although no logic makes suffering deserved in anyway . There is another aspect to it ..karma can also be a fuel that keeps the cycle of life going on . Another way I look at it is karma could also be self inflicted . We think we deserve something and a deeper us takes us in that direction , even if it’s painful .

ā€œ And sometimes evil gets punished for deeds as a matter of cause and effect ā€œ

Isn’t that the underlying principle of karma . Sometimes it is as simple as we rob a bank and go to prison for that . While othertimes it is indirect , someone kills a person and gets away but the the guilt never sets them free..even that is a form of punishment .And may be it seems to get unnoticed but nothing gets unnoticed . Not that someone specific is noticing. But the cause has its effect. May be not visible and obvious then and there. Also the concept of karma is interlinked with us having a life beyond one .( that is another absolute unknown territory, truth to which no one knows)

Been thinking about what you wrote regarding karma. Guilt doesn’t seem to be a very good tool to punish someone for the biggest offender might be wired that way they don’t feel any remorse while someone else feels guilty about every minor thing done. In general the response to such depends a lot on the human in question.

Suffering is often something we bring upon ourselves because we would like things to be different from what they are. But of course there is also suffering that’s induced by sickness or such. Now, if one was able of accepting of all there is life would be much more peaceful probably.
