RE: Rep. Brad Sherman calls for Crypto Ban; the opening salvo of the most epic financial war begins
Excellent points made here and I love your weaving your following of the planets into this. We see the cycles over time, something the ancients knew about, yet most ignore today.
As for the main point, I agree as you know. The horse is already out of the barn. We know how this dance turns out. The results are already in. We only have to watch the process unfold. You bring up a valid point about the crypto billionaires who have a lot of power. We also cannot discount the greed factor of those on Wall Street who want into this game. There are many who are looking to get to the top and over take the likes of Dimon.
They are like crabs in a bucket, pulling the others down to get ahead. Crypto will be their vehicle to do this.
Astrology isn't a comfortable fit for me. It wasn't as much of an issue talking about this in the past before my software put me on the map, but since about 2005 I've grown increasingly nervous having my name attached to this subject. The vast majority of people misunderstand the way I speak and what I am really saying. I don't believe that the planets are actually "doing" anything. It's just that I happen to believe that life is not random. I stated this on an article back in 1999 theory of geocosmic coincidence. In fact, it's not even close to random and much more predictable than modern science would think under Descartian reductionism. Life seems to be very much a mathematical algorithm and therefore predictable. The complications of life make this fact difficult to see.
"Astrologer speak" is like saying that the hour hand hitting the 5 on the clock face caused rush hour. The efficient cause is actually something else, material causes something else yet. Then in some forums like skyscript.co.uk they will argue about such things as "combustion" (planet being burned because it's too close to the Sun) and their arguments were completely ridiculous. This is why I liked Robert Schmidt's work because he was practically the only one in the field who was doing serious work trying to get to the bottom of how astrology got started and discovering the philosophical principles underlying it. Nearly everybody else in the astrology community was just "making shit up" with little regard to the overall effect on the field. Astrologers tend to do this in an attempt to make a name for themselves because if a "new technique" takes off (like Astrocartography) they are known for it.
I was at the point back around 1993 thinking I was going to leave this field behind (for music) after nearly 20 years of study, but Project Hindsight made this field interesting to me again. Now Schmidt is gone and I have my doubts that the field will progress in a meaningful way. Astrology will go on and it will make up fancy new techniques, but given who is connected to the subject most prominently, it makes me not want to waste as much of my time. The zodiacal releasing method of Valens is one of the few that gives me pause, because it works so well, that there might be something we modern thinkers are missing in understanding, similarly for profections, but the original insight whatever that was is buried in millennia of misunderstandings.
