most excellent, and many thanks! you've rendered me a vista from which I can earnestly explore these branches- which I'd hitherto assumed to be historically vital yet ultimately outmoded. How might you describe the relationship between the paradigm you're presenting and Tychonic geoheliocentrism, which (according to wikipedia) reconciles "the mathematical benefits of the Copernican system with the philosophical and 'physical' benefits of the Ptolemaic system"?

For some reason I can't embed the video link here. I'll e-mail it but if you youtube search:

Craziest - Transom.org - that will be it.

Its about a scrabble player who divines the patterns of meaning from her scrabble games.

Brilliant. Your a translator between the die hard astrologers and folks a little more philosophically inclined. Astrology was always about commitment - as with any love. Which is of course ... Wisdom. I appreciated your distinction that Astrology was not knowledge but wisdom. Coming to PCC was always a little like going to a Southern Baptist church where in stead of Jesus, the method of salvation was archetypal astrology. The choices were clear, one either converted or lived in darkness.

BRILLIANT. Significantly more food for thought per minute than other philosophical lectures, packed with paradigm-shifting goodness, and all the more extraordinary for being delivered by such a young proponent. 8 out of 10 cats preferred it.
