Introduction to the subject of Quantum Physics and the vast worlds now open to us, has not been the only benefit of increased understanding of the ancient writings. New disciplines are re-discovering important knowledge leading to new disciplines such as Chronobiology and Astrobiology. Both these disciplines are widening our understanding of the connection between our bodies and our universe.

Tropical and Sidereal Astrologers alike, will enjoy the validation by Science of what they have known all along.
Jyotisha, a Vedanga, is one of the six primary ancillary studies of the Veda, recognized the world over to be in excess of 5000 years old. These writings hold vast knowledge, covering areas just discovered in the last 150 years, thanks to the understanding of the information they offer. The subject focuses on advanced astronomy, the effect of energies on individuals, societal development and more. Inherent in Jyotish is the notion that consciousness is primary. Their claim has been validated today. Validation does not guarantee acceptance.

Retirement has given me opportunities to play and explore. Now it’s time to share what I’ve found. Never more than once a week, I will send you something to think about. Topics will include Astrology, Politics, History, Religion, sex, aging and dying. All the stuff that we’re not supposed to talk about. The length of each article will vary and a copy will be on my website https://phyllischubb.com/ in case you miss it today.

Consider this…
The major difference between Tropical and Sidereal systems has nothing to do with the accuracy of either system or their appropriate application.
This is the first, in a series of articles which will present a wide range of topics, directly and indirectly, associated with the use and application of Tropical and Sidereal astrology. Other related disciplines and branches of science, such as Physics, specifically non-locality, and current findings due to the expansion of scientific thought, such as near-death-experiences (NDE). Let’s begin.

The barriers to merging Tropical and Sidereal (Jyotish) astrology are similar to the barriers of understanding consciousness. The arguments used to define an expanded view of consciousness are the same as those needed to understand Jyotish. Basically, consciousness is not tied to matter, it is greater than matter and exists both within and outside matter. Consciousness is energy and energy cannot be destroyed, hence the great value of Jyotish.

Once again, we are seeing the teachings of the ancients being reconfirmed. This morning an article came in the mail. The article started with a definition that warmed my heart: Chronobiology is a branch of biology that examines periodic phenomena in the body and how we adapt to solar and lunar related rhythms.

The relationships between beliefs, judgments and actions matter. The fact of the matter is, beliefs are linked to judgments. Judgments shape actions toward all subjects, including different forms of astrology. Within any culture there are ideas and beliefs about creation, the existence of good and evil, expectations and responsibilities. What these ideas entail is vitally important and need to be reflected on from time to time.

Religion contributes to life within any culture by providing an explanation and reason for existence. Religion also brings people together under one umbrella while providing hope, and sometimes confidence, for a positive future. Religions shape the way people see themselves, others and the world around them.

The second source to confirm ancient knowledge is a collection of literature. The collection comes from the Vedas, the Upanishads and the Puranas of India. These volumes hold remarkable science, some of which our present cultures are only beginning to look at. For example, the Upanishads deal directly with levels of consciousness at a considerably higher level than can be dealt with today. A short explanation of what these works deal with will help the reader to understand the significance of the knowledge they contain.

There are two sources of ancient knowledge. The oldest first-hand information available about the ‘science’ of the ancients is preserved in astronomically aligned structures like the pyramids and monuments such as Stonehenge etc. The second source of ancient science is called the Veda, the knowledge from an ancient Vedic culture. These two sources of information remind us our ancient relatives were much more than uneducated thugs and cave dwellers. Nor can we continue to assume the roots of all knowledge rest within the last 5000 years.
