Min's Planetary Awareness Technique Chapter 11

CHAPTER 11
THE AQUARIAN PLANET Uranus is that caelestial aspect of
the tarot house of Temperance, in which Saturn co-rules
by his inferior radial velocity to Earth. Uranus orbits
on the outermost edge of visibility to mans unaided eye
at nearly twenty times the distance of Earth to the Sun.
Uranus is almost "rolling" along its 84-year orbit with
the Sun, since its rotational axis is tipped some 82.14
degrees from perpendicular to its ecliptic, or as astro-
nomers say "97.86 degrees retrograde" because the usual
west-to-east rotation of the planet is topsy-turvy. The
sidereal daily rotation of Uranus is about 17 1/4 hours.
At over 32,000 miles in equatorial diameter, this finds
the blue-green gas giant spinning around 5,800 miles an
hour near its outer methane gas layer with mostly hydro-
gen and helium in the denser clouds below. The moons of
Uranus now number twenty-seven with the tinier, fainter
moons being discovered over time as instruments improve.
While nowhere near the glory of Saturn's majestic rings,
Uranus does hold a relatively faint ring system, having
ten thin and narrow bands encircling an eleventh, which
is just as thin but a lot broader and more diffuse than
the outer rings--most of which are barely a mile across.
The caelestial firmament and its Uranian influences are
embodied in the eighth heaven manifest in this orbiting
sphere of extremes we call Uranus, who is named for the
Greek Ouranos, literally, the Earth's caelestial sphere,
all light that reaches the Earth from distant suns that
bears witness to the infinite vastness of light and con-
trasting darkness far beyond our own solar system, with
innumerable souls who populate this illimitable expanse
of cosmic proportions breathing life into worlds untold.
The extreme obliquity of Uranus' rotational axis to its
ecliptic reflects the "bipolar" characteristics of soul-
journers in this region, spending some twenty-one years
in each season between equinoxes and solstices. The tem-
peratures are so frigid at the cloudy surface of Uranus,
nearly -200 C or -320 F, that surface temperatures vary
little around the whole planet regardless of the season.
However, the effect on souls is most drastic due to the
extreme orientation of Uranus towards and away from the
Sun near solstices, and perpendicularity near equinoxes.
Rather this is the effect that souls have had on Uranus.
Really both causative and effective relationships occur
since neither planet nor soul could exist independently.
As with each of the ten heavens, there is much to learn
in the sphere of Uranus. Souls develop the sense of the
extreme, the free, unbridled and unrestrained--quick to
push the envelope of intemperance, thereby defining tem-
perance by testing its outermost saturnine limits. Just
how far can Saturn recede from Earth by radial velocity?
Beyond Saturn, how far can any soul go towards infinity?
What're the limits of intemperance? None that I can see,
hence the co-reign of Saturn-receding is very important
to the friends of Aquarius, the fixed element of Swords,
queen of Air and electromagnetic force of Consciousness.
Saturn teaches souls to yield to what is defined, while
father Uranus invites soul to strive for new beginnings
on the bass octave of the Moon, the beginning of heaven.
Because Uranus is the superconscious octave of the Moon,
Urania, the muse of astronomy, adds her eighth pitch be-
low the Moon's Aeolian sidereal mode on the A below mid-
dle C. This fixed sidereal mode of Uranus is then trans-
posed in the fixed synodic key of Aquarius, which is Bb-
minor under ruling Uranus or Bb-mixolydian under Saturn.
This innate sidereal modal resonance of Uranus with the
Moon occurs on the Moon's descending or superior octave,
because Earth's caelestial firmament is composed of the
light reaching the Earth from distant suns and galaxies
far beyond this relative "pinpoint" of our solar system.
Think about this. The mean geocentric distance of Earth
to the Sun is about 8 minutes 19 seconds at light-speed,
or about 0.000015813 light-years. Pluto averages nearly
39.5 astronomical units to the Sun or about 5 1/2 hours.
Bright fiducial stars like Aldebaran is estimated to be
65 light-years away. Spica 260 light-years. Polaris 430
light-years. Antares 600 light-years. Deneb +/- 3200 ly.
The nearest galaxy, Andromeda (M31), is roughly 2.5 mil-
lion light-years away (using conventional light theory).
Even nearby stars at ten or twenty light-years are many
thousands of times further away than tiny Pluto is from
our Sun. Yet, averaging a mere 238,860 miles from Earth,
the Moon is infinitely further away than starlight that
hits our eyes and intercepts our psychic eye at Earth's
geocenter. The Moon, the closest heavenly sphere to the
Earth, is almost a quarter million miles away--up there
in outer space. The Moon's psychic influence is made by
each soul's heavenly experiences there, up there in the
Moon, not here on Earth. We see only a tiny fragment of
the total sunlight (including earthshine) that the Moon
reflects while viewing it from Earth, or from any other
position in local solar system space. What each soul ex-
periences in the Moon is remembered by the Moon, and by
each soul who's been there usually many times over. The
relative sidereal position of the Moon in our solar sys-
tem makes it innately the first heaven, and the natural
minor modality. Whereas the synodic or "light" position
of the Moon to Earth's geocenter is where soul's innate
experiences in the Moon are joined together with soul's
myriad discarnate experiences in the other nine planets
over the aeons since this solar system's inception. You
see, it's the system of our soul, ergo our "sol" system.
An "old" soul is simply a term used to describe someone
whose words and demeanor exude wisdom beyond his or her
years as often seen in a young child "because thou hast
hid these things from the wise and prudent" [Mat 11:25].
As the child grows and gets caught up in worldly things,
such heavenly innocence is lost. As the adult grows old,
the soul seeks to realign itself with the divine gnosis
in anticipation of returning to the heavens, out of the
white oblivion (ref. chapter 13). These natural oscilla-
tions between ones heavenly and worldly activity is com-
pounded by the planets "running and returning" by their
radial velocities to Earth in the heavenly sense and by
their rulerships in Earth's houses in the worldly sense,
as Atlas holds up the world for the Gods to exert their
rule through the collective power of their togetherness,
by mans inherent authority to adjudge the horoscope and
make it better within the sphere of the Earth's command.
The point is to remember that soul's experiences in the
heavens are interdependent, as each planet to the other
planets who together complete our sol-system. Like keys
on a well-tuned piano, the well-attuned soul brings the
diatonic modes of its experience into play hereon Earth
in the chromatic zodiac of the elements or astrological
forces to the Earth. But because the heavenly realms of
soul's disembodied sojourning are each at some distance
from Earth, the Moon about 1 1/4 seconds at light-speed,
or Uranus averaging 2 hours 40 minutes give or take the
up to 8 1/3 minutes accounting for the Earth's distance
from the Sun, so you see that the planetary light which
intersects our conceptual point at Earth's geocenter is
the same point shared by all the world relative to that
aforesaid planetary light--same light, but is unique to
each soul according to its cumulative experiences there-
in, hence how that light acts and reacts with the souls
on Earth, each whose body is born with tendencies based
on his or her horoscope which follows them through life,
progressing in real-time with the relative light forces.
In summary, the elemental ergo astrological forces func-
tion at light-speed relative to the Earth, on the Earth.
Soul's discarnate sojourns in heaven occur in real-time,
as does soul's activity in the living earthly body. See?
The planetary light is the relativity of force to Earth.
Being there is the ever-present consciousness of psyche.
Space-time relates force relative to the heavens beyond.
It's like deja vu, which is to remember the present--in
realtime. This awareness is subtle yet is very distinct.
A distant memory is separated by light-years, while the
deja vu memory is separated by nothing, by no spacetime,
yet is relative to the source of the light & sound that
we are remembering. It's analogous to taking a vacation
in Hawaii. Postcards just can't do it justice. You have
to be there to appreciate it...as with the Grand Canyon.
Heaven is like that. You can try to explain how amazing
and beautiful it is, but a soul must be there to see it,
to experience firsthand the embrace of the divine light.
So it is with the relative astrological forces, and the
gnosis of soul in the heavens then on earth in the body.
The twenty-two divine archetypes are outside relativity
of force to paraphrase Cayce [3744-4]. That's the major
arcana. The minor arcana are the courtyards and planets
of the horoscope, hence are relative to physical forces.
The superconscious is associated with the "aether", the
conscious essence of soul that's poured out on the sons
and daughters of the Creator, as water from a container,
each container one of the ten vast regions of the plane-
tary heavens who together compose our solar system from
the Moon to Pluto that is to say from the Moon to Earth.
We call the superconsciousness of spirit the psyche, or
soul, and so Aquarius is the house of psychic awareness
as a whole, since each planet has its own divine psyche,
one of ten and its own essential part of our sol-system.
The houses or courtyards are as facets of a perfect gem-
stone refracting the planetary light into its component
colors, processing the light and sound through elements
of crystalline memory preserved in the thin rocky crust,
held by Earth's gravity with her craggy tectonic plates
clinging fast to the molten interior like skin to flesh.
Just as Saturn's superior house is king of gravity, the
creative force of the world signified by Capricorn, the
inferior house of Saturn is queen of spades, sustaining
consciousness through psychic awareness--which is a bit
redundant since to be psychic is to be aware, and to be
aware is to be psychic. Psyche is composed of awareness,
ergo "I AM" of the Gods who created us in our own image.
The exaltation of the intellect, analytical Mercury, is
in the key of Aquarius. Recall from Min's Light & Sound

In the midst of Aquarius Saturn-inferior, Mercury in Ge-
mini likewise, Mars in Scorpio & Jupiter in Sagittarius,
their superior ensigns. Mercury empowers skill with num-
bers and symbols, which is the astrologer/mathematician,
the skillful orator, communicator & messenger of Gemini.
Speaking of which, the Magvs a.k.a. Judicial Astrologer
knows that soul's discarnate sojourns in heaven is what
empowers the astrological forces, or as Cayce says "the
entity's sojourn makes the impulse for activity, rather
than the position of these" [398-2, Min's Light & Sound,
chapter 7]. You see, it's being there that empowers the
astrological forces individually for each soul, and col-
lectively for every soul born of this vast solar system.
Why, you may ask, do I drive this point home repeatedly?
Because today's astrologers have been repeatedly misled
by those who were similarly misled for many generations.
It's like they were taught for centuries that 2 + 2 = 5.
So you can ask any modern-day astrologer some questions
about astrology, like "what's two plus two?" and you'll
inevitably get the same answer, "five". While it's easy
to sit back and criticize such gullible simpletons, the
truth is that for anyone to acknowledge the egregiously
traumatic memory of being banished from heaven and cast
into hell is not an easy thing to do--not for any human
being on Earth. That's the position, the point of entry
from heaven into hell. And Yes, that's the second death
written about by John the revelator, in his apokalupsis.
What and where hell actually is has been a longstanding
point of contention among the orthodox. Of course there
is Hades, the realm of the dead beneath the ground, and
clear down to the center of the Earth where Pluto rules.
Then there is living hell, which describes the lives of
certainly hundreds of millions of star-crossed souls in-
carnate in a sea of bad karma, and probably most people
who've ever lived have met with some hellish misfortune
at one time or another. But if you haven't, then you're
either very fortunate, or you've led a very boring life.
There's a third kind of hell, which is the interface of
the previous two--what we mortals call the spirit world.
This is where the departed make contact with the living
and vice versa, or sometimes vis-a-vis between the dead
and the living--both equally surprised to see the other.
The spectral world of the supernatural supports a whole
range of apparitions from archangels to horrific demons,
and just about everything in between. Encounters with a
ghost are usually very frightening. Even visits by arch-
angels inspire fear in the hearts of the bravest of men.
And when demons of Tartaros rise up from the abyss, the
terror can be so unnerving as to scare any one to death.
Thus begs the question, "where does hell end and heaven
begin?" I've always believed that if a diehard debunker
wants to spend the night all alone in a torture chamber
deep in the heart of some super-haunted medieval castle,
then let that brave debunker stand forth and be counted.
Imagine yourself all alone, down in the deepest hold of
the Queen Mary from sunset till sunup, and on the night
of a full moon--no one else on board. The cargo hold is
locked from the outside. There is no escaping till dawn.
No cameras, no microphones, only a dictation machine in
your pocket in case you have anything to report. No one
is around to hear your cries for mercy. Or stay in Char-
leville castle with similar preconditions, or you might
prefer the immense dungeon of Chillingham castle? Spend
the night in any torture chamber in the Tower of London.
Devil's Island is said to be awfully haunted. You can't
go wrong by camping out in one of the brick huts at the
Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration-execution camps--alone,
at night, not a living soul around to hear your shrieks.
A plain old-fashioned haunted house would be acceptable,
provided it has earned a reputation for being extremely
haunted, like one of the "scariest places on earth". As
long as you are willing to try it, you should go for it.
Make sure a major broadcaster like FOX is there to back
you up, so the whole world can know you actually did it.
But it'll never happen since debunkers are all talk and
no action. The risks are too great and the challenge is
too demanding. All alone with no way of escaping and no-
body around to rescue you from whatever--whoever--makes
contact with you from beyond the grave. Those debunkers
don't believe in spirits, so what are they so afraid of?
I'll tell you what scares them and everybody else inclu-
ding me...malevolent spirits! That's what scares us all,
since that's where hell below and hell above are united.
Recall Peter's denial of Christ "thrice before the cock
crow" [Mat 26:34,75 ibid]. In a few words, talk's cheap,
show me don't tell me, faith without works, prove it or
else, do it first then you can brag about it later, etc.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Don't
say "I'm not afraid to spend the night all alone in the
Tower of London under lock and key", unless you've done
it already, or you plan to do it in the imminent future.
We'll see if you're serious, or merely fooling yourself.
You may be crazy enough to try it--that would be insane!
There are surely many cemeteries, mausoleums, catacombs
and other uninviting places in the world that rival the
Tower's foreboding allure. Old lighthouses, pubs, clubs,
restaurants, hotels, abandoned psychiatric wards, hospi-
tals, prisons, sites of murders, warcrimes, old bridges,
just about anything else you can think of that's likely
to be haunted by malevolent spirits--put it on the list.
If you think that you would not be afraid, you'd better
think again. They say the Colosseum built cir. 75 AD in
Rome is rated as the most outrageously haunted place in
Italy after dark, especially for the psychic sensitives,
those who get "messages" from the stone building blocks.
This ability is known as psychometry. The old monuments
where murders and torture were common tend to overwhelm
such individuals. Somehow, the crystalline structure of
the rocks enables & sustains the impressing of memories
upon them. How is best discerned among the alchemist or
mineralogist, the psychic medium or physicist, the rock-
hound or geologist, the astrophile or chemist, plus any
other neighboring supernatural or scientific discipline.
This crystalline memory is directly responsible for the
powers of Mnemosyne, mother of the music of the spheres,
to remember for many lifetimes into the distant past or
for geological aeons, depending on the age of the rocks
in question. This is the medium by which Earth's memory
remains intact. One would presume that younger volcanic
rocks have barely begun to "remember", beginning at the
moment the magma cooled and solidified into its igneous
formations. How quickly or slowly the magma cools deter-
mines its composition. Lava pouring out of a volcano is
cooled very quickly, forming finer-grained glassy rocks
like pumice, scoria, obsidian and most commonly, basalt.
Then there's underground magma that cools slowly before
nearing the Earth's surface, producing coarsely-grained
rocks like granite with its components feldspar, quartz,
mica, etc. Notably about sixty percent of Earth's crust
is made of feldspar, and most all igneous rocks contain
some variety of it. 80% of the Earth's crust is igneous
rock so it becomes the focus of crystalline psychometry.
Quartz crystals like amethyst are very popular, because
the ancient Greeks believed it can prevent intoxication.
Perhaps they meant that it can promote lucidity of mind.
Amethyst is the color of Aquarius, Capricorn and Pisces.
Diamonds are forever or so it is said. While diamond is
certainly the hardest naturally occurring rock on Earth,
and the most brilliant, it is nowhere near the toughest.
Weak atomic bonds along a diamond's cleavage plane make
it brittle, even breakable when struck by a hard object.
Jadeite, a metamorphic rock, has interlocking structure,
making it the toughest, but not hardest gemstone around.
Thus different types of rock make for different ability
to psychically connect with its memory. Mans attraction
to precious & semiprecious gems imply added suitability
as psychic catalysts beyond the more common stones. The
alchemist has made a science of such studies, and Edgar
Cayce's readings promote gemstones in holistic medicine.
On this foundation of metaphysics is judicial astrology,
for the planets themselves and our souls were formed by
the cardinal, fixed and mutable laws. Interdisciplinary
studies is the watchword of erudition, hence pattern re-
cognition crosses all bounds, and examines all sciences
in general. Obviously no one person can know everything
(although Leonardo Da Vinci sure gave it a go), so team-
work will produce better quality data than solo efforts.
Assembling such a team of metaphysicians would be ideal,
especially if each team member were a trained scientist
in a specialized field, having developed psychic senses.
Eventually, mankind will integrate his science with the
supernatural. When he does, comprehension will increase
an hundredfold, and understanding of death will be made
plain--just as Cayce said it would. Centuries will pass.
When you find the memory of your second death, then you
will appreciate biblical passages such as "and fear not
them which kill... but rather fear him which is able to
destroy both soul and body in hell" [Mat 10:28]. That's
the crux, a soul's point of entry from heaven into hell.
