Why should Astrology deserve to be called a SCIENCE ?

[Guest guest]

I pick on your statement from the message below, new friend:

> We all learn from mistakes we make, lets make even mistakes

> systematically; and then only we can call astrology a science!

 

I have never dared call astrology as it stands now as "Science"! You

are jumping ahead too fast. I have explained in details in a very

early article I wrote why astrology is not ready to be called a

science. Science is not everything, nor the ultimate and human

being's end-goal is probably not necessarily science or scientific!

If Science were the answer, we would not have had so much confusion

in this world, ideological confusion, terrorism, dire poverty and

deprivation that drives violence, wars, deprivation, distraught

vacuuous emptiness and if north american/canadian newsmedia is

accurate a deplorable rape-club in the most prestigious university

on an island nation that is supposed to be the beacon of idealism,

honesty, pride, a veritable PHOENIX that arose from the ashes of the

world wars and attained materialistic acme that most other nations

dreamt of and a nation where all workers were taken care of and were

aiming towards an utopian excellence but even that PARADISE is

crumbling as we see now!!

 

I hardly take solace in the depressing fact that nothing, not even

that promised and touted piece of utopia in the pacific in this

desolate world was perfect and just had to wait its turn before its

inadequacies were revealed, so disparagingly!

 

In the end, what would elevate us would be transparency, loss of

ego, openness and the common realization that we are flesh and blood

human beings despite our shallow veneer that has made us try to rule

over our brethren egoistically and in false PRIDE over millennia and

only over the next 1000 years are we going to come to terms with the

reality. At least some of us!!

 

Astrologers can do better if we put aside our national and other

false prides and focus more on the heavens which do not belong to

nations but are our true source of being.

 

In all fairness, feel free to ignore me or what I am saying.
