Astrology Class - Dispositors and Planetary Influence

by Robert Wilkinson

The sign any planet is in is affected by the sign of the planet that rules that sign. This is called dispositorship. So when Mars is in Cancer, it is heavily affected by the Moon, which rules Cancer. When Mars is in Leo, it will be heavily affected by the sign the Sun is in, since the Sun rules Leo. Mars in Virgo is more influenced by Mercury, and therefore whatever sign Mercury is in. Mars in Libra is affected by whatever sign Venus is in, since Venus rules Libra. When a planet rules the sign another planet is in, we say it “disposes,” or is the dispositor of that planet.

How Astrology Works Pt.1 - Belief systems and checks and balances

by Robert Wilkinson

Today's article is a response to a question a friend posited, that being "Why can't someone just rely on their intuition instead of astrology?" I suppose the short answer is that you can, but just be ready to take the consequences of acting with incomplete knowledge. We all make our decisions limited by our blind spots, our prejudices, and our wishful thinking. We all come from a family and culture with dualistic and inconsistent internal belief systems, and have been shaped by others in ways we barely suspect, by friends and foes, loved ones and strangers alike. In this sense it is useful to remember that all are our teachers, and show us how to raise our experience of life and response, human patterns in a forever changing reality leading us to our Higher Self.

Mahatma Gandhi and our Quantum Reality

by Robert Wilkinson

Though the world is gripped in violence and fear, I believe there are concrete signs of a better reality coming. We who seek truth, goodness, and beauty WILL outlast and outlive the barbarians presently creating so much suffering for so much of humanity. We have already seen signs of a greater awareness, and our understanding of time, space, matter, and energy have evolved to a greater degree than ever before. We now know we live in a quantum reality that morphs as we live it.

Einstein On Spirit, Natural Law, and Humanity

by Robert Wilkinson

While going through my archives, I ran across two quotes from Einstein that seem somehow relevant in this weird time of shouting heads. For your consideration:

"The harmony of natural law reveals an intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection."

Affirmations, Thought-Forms, And Changing the Negative Tapes In Our Heads

by Robert Wilkinson

A fan of both my sites asked me to offer some thoughts “on creating reality using affirmations to replace any negative tapes that may be playing in our heads.” This is a great idea, since if “matter follows thought,” and “thoughts are things,” then we should take time to train our minds to bring forth positive and useful thoughts rather than repeat the same old unhelpful images that are making us feel negative.

Visible and Invisible Planes of Consciousness, Perception, and Matter

by Robert Wilkinson

Today's offering from The Magic of Space, may help to clarify what is the true nature of the 7 Planes of Consciousness. From Chapter V, “The Enigma of Matter,” this explanation:

The ancient occult teachings have always insisted upon the presence of numerous planes of existence, of which our own particular plane is only one. And all of these numerous planes are equally within the realms of Nature – none is supernatural. There exists always a correspondence between these several planes of manifestation, and, under supernormal conditions, a certain degree of communication is possible between them.
