The asteroid belt was once a planet. The civilization there destroyed
it.
Because of that destruction. The Earth and Mars' orbits shifted-hence
Mars atmosphere and appearance changed to its current format over time
after this. Therefore;
"It definitely will be a diminution to the ego of this civilization
when it discovers the remains of its' past, where it never learned this
lesson (integrity), in the red ruins of the ancient "God of War", Mars.
From "Mars and The State of The Ego," Original draft EW 1/95
It reflects the natural aggression associated with the desire to be a
singular idea within the expression of "All That Is". There is nothing
inherently negative in the idea of ego expression. Once again, negative
ego expression is limiting and constricting based on the fear of being
ignored. It is the child with no restraint, foresight, planning (Saturn)
or sense of perspective (Pluto).
The need psychologically of Mars is to clarify, separate and prove the
self. This motivating energy is not good or bad-it is the catalyst
neccessary in the physical world to action-the expressed energy
of conviction and trust. Anger can be positively interpreted as the
distinction between what you are and what you are not.
But it (the negative ego) does not have to know every little detail in
order to function. It must learn to incorporate the higher self
(Jupiter) and unconcious knowledge (Uranus), when this is blended action
is based on integrity. The idea that you recognoize that you are as
powerful as you need to be to create whatever you desire in your reality
without having to hurt or malign yourself or anyone else in order to
create it.
All action in integrity creates a thread of synchronous accord (actually
ALL actions create threads of probability-even the negative ones.
Negativity has its own synchronicity). All threads lead to all other
threads automatically without effort. There is no reason to "strive" or
"struggle"-it is not a battle, YOU are the creator of your reality on
all levels.
Follow what it excites you to do and all the details will fall into
place when you act in integrity. Mars is the identity definition and the
thrust to manifest-use it! Action is the reflected conviction of belief
definition. We live in a physical world and physical action is a
"spiritual" experience. Thoughts are actions.
If a particle (such as a nutrino) is a "massless" particle-then it can
be affected by anything ELSE which is massless-including consciousness.
A sense of empowerment leads to integral action.
Everything is there for a reason.

million years or so, slammed into the Earth, tossing out enough material

Sorry, you're way off. All the planets were formed pretty much in the
same orbit they are in now. The asteroid belt is what's left of a planet
that failed to form, due to tidal forces from Jupiter.
Actually to say that something was 'formed in the asteroid belt' is a bit of
a misnomer.
The various planetary and planetismal bodies that orbit our Sun were likely
formed from a disc of dust and gas that shrouded it just after it's
formation. Dust is rather sticky, so protoplanetary bodies were aggregated
(read: made from the collision and combination) out of this mess.
Have you ever run a gravity simulator (or written one)? Every speck of dust
in the protoplanetary disk had an attractive force on it's neighbors
(actually on every other speck in the disk, and the Sun too). This mutual
attraction was small, but as larger and larger bodies were formed, large
gravitational interactions could occur. In plain language, gravity always
attracts, and the more mass a body has, the larger attraction.
Now, there was a very powerful attractive force in the solar system--the
Sun! The rule is, if you don't move fast enough, the Sun will pull you in.
The reason that there was all of that dust around the Sun to start with was
that it was spinning--like how a pizza crust is made. Every bit of dust had
a certain amount of velocity which let it orbit the Sun.
Some bits of dust orbited in more or less a circle, others in more of an
elliptical path. Dust that orbited in a highly elliptical manner usually
ended up colliding with some other bit of dust. Now momentum is always
conserved, so the path of the new larger particle would be less circular but
not as elliptical as the bits that it was formed of.
Fast forward thousands and millions of years. There isn't as much dust now.
Larger conglomerates of dust and rock now orbit the Sun. Large enough to
have significant gravitational attraction. Whenever two of these bodies
come near, if they don't collide, they will still deflect one another. If
you had two bodies, A and B, with A ahead of B in Solar orbit, A would tug
on B, accellerating it. With the greater velocity, B's orbit would extend
out further. However, B is dragging on A, slowing A. A's orbit ends up
lower. If A and B pass enough regularly in thier orbits (called a
resonance), thier mutual orbits can end up very distorted.
Back to the formation of the Moon. This happened early on in the Earth's
history. What likely happened, IMHO, is that the proto-planet that formed
the Moon was in a orbit near the Earth's.
Why? Because to shift the orbit of a body in the zone that we call 'the
asteroid belt' into a more elliptical orbit with a perisol (closest distance
to the Sun), you would need to slow it down. A lot.
Now when I run a gravitational simulator, I usually jack the gravitational
constant up a lot so I get more dramatic changes in orbital. What happens
in nature is that the changes in orbital velocity during a encounter between
two of these bodies isn't very spectacular--maybe dozens of meters per
second.
To deflect a body from the asteroid belt to an Earth crossing orbit would
take 1) a very large body in a 2) resonant orbit and 3) many many passes to
build up the total change in velocity need.
Watching my gravitational simulator, once in a while I'll get two bodies
that by accident end up in a spectacularly resonant orbit. On occasions I
have seen one of the bodies put into a long elliptical orbit, while the
other body dips further and further into the inner system, eventually
colliding with another body. The new body, in the inner system, ends up
with a more circular orbit--the result of the addition of the original
bodies momentum.
Just keep in mind that the early Solar system must have been a cluttered
place--compared to todays near pristine expanse of vaccuum. The proto-Earth
might have had several co-orbital planetismals that it might have interacted
with.
Hope this helps.

Excuse me, Edmond. You started this thread on alt.astrology.metapsych
and alt.astrology, with a cosmological statement concerning the creation
of the asteroid belt. You can hardly complain if people wish to
continue in the same vein.

You are perfectly welcome to continue it in sci.skeptic. Those who wish to
continue it I am sure have the energy to trigger the small amount of nueronal
activity it takes to subscribe to sci.skeptic and post there. And if I wish to
I will do the same.
Now HERE what astrological method or procedure would you like to discuss?

You started the thread on a.a.m., Edmond. Taking your ball away? ;)
If you search dejanews in sci.astro for around September/October last
year, you will see that quite a lively discussion developed from the
last time you made this "asteroid belt as exploded planet" claim. Tom
Van Flandern proposed a theory of this kind back in the seventies, but
apparently hasn't been able to muster much support for it. He is
pinning his hopes on Ida having a debris field, which is predicted by
his theory (but is also predicted, IMO, by the normal "asteroid belt as
bunch of large asteroids that tend to bump into one another and fall to
bits" theory.
I'd like to continue the thread which you started in alt.astrology and
alt.astrology.metapsych on your ideas about the origin of the asteroid
belt.
You stated:
"The asteroid belt was once a planet. The civilization there
destroyed it.
"Because of that destruction. The Earth and Mars' orbits
shifted-hence Mars atmosphere and appearance changed to its
current format over time after this."
What evidence can you present for the above statements?
No. A comet is a tiny object that will not alter the orbit of a planet in any important
way. Even the largest asteroid that exists would not change Earth's orbit noticably.
Anything larger would smash the Earth into little pieces rather than knock it from the
asteroid belt into its present orbit.

To borrow one of your phrases: You question is "begging the question
fallaciousness."
What evidence can you offer for the above claim?
The subject matter is relevant to sci.astro and sci.skeptic as well as
the two newsgroups to which you originally posted. Why do you find this
so difficult to understand?
Now what evidence, if any can you supply to support your statement? (to
remind you):
"The asteroid belt was once a planet. The civilization there
destroyed it.
"Because of that destruction. The Earth and Mars' orbits
shifted-hence Mars atmosphere and appearance changed to its
current format over time after this."
Why? You clearly thought it was relevant to alt.astrology.metapsych when
you made the posting; my response was on topic and well within the
charter of the group.

Au contraire, Edmond, it is your personal attacks and evasions which are
disrupting this attempt at discussion.
Now either continue the discussion or quit being a nuisance.

How about if BOTH Sherilyn and Mr. Wolfman take their debate over
appropriateness of a cross-post to email, or at the very least restrict
the debate to the specific group involved.
As someone who doesn't believe in astrology to begin with, I find having
to wade through a discussion of what is appropriate on
alt.astrology.metapsych to be especially annoying when I'm reading

I was about to write a post in which I was going to ask Sherilyn and
others why they persisted in astronomical discussions in your
newsgroup when it was not the subject of the group. I was going to
ask them to consider your repeated request.
But then, reading over the posts, I see you made the statement that
the asteroid belt was once a planet. Since this is your claim,
wouldn't you feel it was worthwhile to discuss various opinions on
that subject? If it was in any way related to astrology, I would
think you would appreciate some astronomical input, perhaps even
solicit it. If it *wasn't* on topic, then why did *you* make the
statement?

Ed updates the kindergarten tactic of "Well, HE started it!" after being
told to go stand in the corner. It didn't work in kindergarten, Ed, and
it doesn't work here.
Your dog eating your homework, as well, cannot be used as an excuse as
to why you have failed to specifically explain why you quote a number to
8 significant digits when describing the complexity of astrological
factors.
Ed, get off your low horse.
I wonder about that. We know the moon is nearly as old as the earth
(correct me if I'm wrong, somebody), and there is evidence for the
formation of the moon from earth material due to a collision of some
sort. If the asteroids are the remnants of an orbital system that once
included a massive body that disappeared at about the time of the
formation of the moon, then they must also be that old, not recent
formations. Is this borne out by observation? I seem to recall there
are a number of earth-crossing asteroids, suggesting that asteroids are
subject to quite heavy attrition over a period like 3 billion years,
being knocked into earth-crossing orbits and swept out by collision, and
so on. Could the asteroid belt be subject to replenishment from some
source? I searched the sci.astro FAQ but didn't find a lot about
theories of comet and asteroid formation.
I don't care, look at your headers please before you crosspost this to
half of usenet.

right! Therefore, either astrology works or Ed Wollmann is a big ol'
liar! And astrology sure don't work!
I like the defense he used, though: "I don't care"! Ranks right up there
with his famous "Well, HE started it!" defense!

this, as you have lost access before for similar behaviour.
Isn't it annoying? - Some of us can get _you_ booted, but, even
if you had a a little justification, you can't touch me at all.
Behave yourself. You're here under sufference.

Someone else said in this thread that the asteroid belt is a planet
which failed to form, rather than a planet which was destroyed.
I am interested in the symbolism of destruction of a planet versus
failure to create a planet. What does each scenario imply within a
symbolic interpretation of the psychology of the evolution of human
consciousness ?
Some astrologers have assigned rulership of Virgo to the asteroid
belt. I see no pupose in assigning it a rulership, because it cannot
be plotted on an astrological chart, only individual asteroids can be
plotted. What is the "meaning" of the belt as a whole ? What is its
essence, its essential nature, its esoteric significance ?
If it was ever a planet, it was presumably destroyed before life on
earth evolved. Its astrological significance lies in the way it
reflects our current perceptions and understanding. (Astronomical
discoveries herald and coincide with changes in human collective
consciousness, e.g. discoveries of the outer planets.) So discovery
of more about the origins of the asteroid belt would similarly
reflect a change in our perception of ourselves (albeit on a smaller
scale than discovery of a new planet).
If it was a planet which failed to form, is there something missing
from our solar system ? Is there a mythology of creation being
flawed from the beginning, as opposed to perfection (Eden) followed by
a fall from divine perfection ?

I see you're still saying "pretextural." What *does* that mean,
anyway?
So you don't think my post was relevant to the discussion? (It's
included above.) And you think yours is?
Or is this recent splurge of yours just a check to see who has
killfiled you? I don't have killfile capability. I still favor the
notion that you are jealous of all the attention Ed is getting for
kook of the month nominations.

I do not believe so, I believe the Moon separated from the Earth (its
mother) and in so doing was deprived of its atmosphere. This equated to
the symbol of the moon as the unconscious, when in non-physical form we
began to create the idea of a strict physically focused reality. This
separation was the equivilent of the separation of the unconscious and
suppression of unconscious material in FAVOR of the conscious mind
focus-hence the moon symbolically representing the reigning need of the
persona (through nurturance deprivation)-please see Noel Tyl,
psychological need theories, in The Priciples and Practice of Astrology.
Pangea was the remanant of the separation point and of course as the
moon moved out in orbit it slowed (also this explains why the spin is
synchronized with Earth) and Pangea then began to equalize the
continrental drift around the planet as a natural distrubution.
The moon has very little movement to have been thrust out from the Earth
from a collision. Although minutely possible, this seems highly
improbable.
Now we carry that archetypal event within our psyches because WE are of
the earth and reflect and express the nature of the system from whence
we arose-simple logic and insight. Even IF we carry remnant psychic
material from other systems and other incarnations.
Thanks for allowing me my .02 on the matter.

You are correct-obviously if the moon arose from its mother it would be
the SAME age.
