Philosophical Constructs

Astrology is the study of the psyche and its connections to the rest of
the universe. Thinking persons can see that the UNIverse is all one
thing. We may not be able to MATERIALLY prove all these connections, but
that is what dis-covery (to uncover) is all about.

Most believe that science evokes or created critical thinking and logic.
This is incorrect. Philosophy is the "father" of logic and it is from
philosophy that logic is derived. All scientific theory and
investigation derives from questioning critically all accepted beliefs
and postulates.

Understanding comes from many paradigms. The well rounded thinker
blends, marries and harmonizes all truths in the search for knowingness.
Since everything functions in harmonious synchronous accord we can never
dismiss new ideas? What has been the historical norm? That what we
believed was true and has never changed? Intolerance is the enemy of
information and truth seeking. Is it rigidity and self sureness that
indicates intelligence?

"The only means of strengthening one's intellect is to make up one's
mind about nothing - to let the mind be a thoroughfare for all thoughts,
not a select party." John Keats

No, Edmo, it isn't. Surely a PMAFA should no
