Before I left for an outstanding work/vacation to Maine, I told you about Basic Attitude. The vacation part was absolutely outstanding. After a short visit with Barbara's folks we proceded to the Wells/Kennebunk part of Maine. This was right on the rock-bound shore. Our accomodations were an old hotel that was converted into condominiums. We were fortunate enough to have a second-story apartment overlooking the road which stretched along the ocean. The apartment itself was outstanding consisting of two bedrooms and a bath leading to a very large living room which opened out on the porch two stories above the street surface.
We were able to roam the streets of Wells and Kennebunk and pursue the shops and restaurants at will. And of course we got presents for the kids and took care of ourselves as well by consuming gobs and gobs of lobster and other denizens of the deep. But alas we also had to work.
Evenso, work was not work as I made a presentation, complete with slide projections on the wall, based on my 40 years experience in Astrolgy. There were nine people in attendance with three or four experienced in Astrology. I had been given six people, unidentified, mixed both male and female and only the appropriate details of birth. I described the potential of these six people and received the approval of the audience and was delighted by the response of those more experienced in the Astrological techniques. It is one of those techniques that I will describe for you today.
One of the areas that the Sabian approach to astrology explores is Mental Chemistry. This is how one Conceives things on the one hand and how he Perceives things on the other. I described this process in relationship to Consciousness back on March 25. 2010 in the post titled "Will The Real World Please Stand Up". Sensory inputs from the external world are taken in through the sense organs and routed to the proper centers in the brain. Here the brain does two things. One is the determination whether this is pleasure or pain and sends that signal out through the motor neurons for proper action(fight or flight). But it also compares it to its data base, if you will, for meaning and value. And it is this area of the brain, that we perhaps know as mind, that we make or conceive of relationships of things to all other things.
In Astrology, this leads to counseling in two areas. When the mental chemistry shows a quick and rapid perception and a sharp conceptive ability then the person can be impatient and impulsive and need constant mental stimulation with new and interesting things. When the mental chemistry shows a more deliberate perception with a slow constructive conceptive ability then the mind works with the pattern of things. This is reminiscent of the way a computer works. Once the pattern is recognized and established(program), the mind can reproduce that pattern tirelessly(output). This is the Gestalt(form) type of mental chemistry. It requires an induction period but then is quite effective in operation.
Let us hear from you. Commentary is always stimulating and educational.
