ON PSYCHOLOGY AND ASTROLOGY
When you think about it, how is it
possible that the signs of the zodiac can be so accurate so often? How can an exam like the Myers Briggs
personality test break every single human being down into 16 basic personality
types? That doesn’t make any sense to
me. If we’re all individuals, with our
own brains, there doesn’t seem to me any way they can predict that with any
sort of accuracy. Yet corporations rely
on tests like the Myers Briggs for their human resource departments all over
the world. Astrology has countless
devout believers. How is it that when you
meet someone new you already know them because they are so much like someone
else that you’ve already known? It feels
preprogrammed and NOT at all random.
It’s like the automotive industry; the car companies only make so many
different models. Humanity seems to be
the same, when it comes to personalities.
What are the implications of this phenomenon?
Before I continue I must preface
and declare that I don’t completely believe these hypotheses or theories and
some, if not most of the people who will read this will scoff, some might even
grow angry. This is simply an
interesting idea; so relax and play along if you will. I came across a concept recently that has had
me pondering this and then it dawned on me.
The important thing in this
hypothesis is to consider another definition of sub-consciousness. In this context, “you” are a small fraction
of the greater you that exists on a higher plain of existence; as a vital part
of the multiverse. Your subconscious is
actually a frequency being broadcasted by the universe. Think of the Internet, your brain cells act
together like the components of a computer with a wifi connection. Think of your present body, more specifically,
the microtubules in your brain cells, are receivers, like antennae or a
satellite dish, they pick up a signal and they amplify a version of your
greater soul or self into reality; basically expressing “you” in the physical
world. It almost makes our bodies
avatars. But while we’re existing in our
bodies we think we’re individuals. But
really everyone who is your personality type is receiving and broadcasting the
same cosmic frequency as you. The
larger self that is you has been dispersed across the planet or maybe the
universe. The signs of the zodiac could correspond
to the origins of the broadcasts? Capricorns are tuned to a station that
broadcasts out of that constellation. But
could be the origin of the broadcast is the fabric of the universe itself. The personality types were part of the Big
Bang, and are expanding outward from the initial explosion. Along with all the energy in the universe,
there came consciousness. Now what about
aliens? Their physical brains could be
tuned to another set of frequencies; ones our brains don’t have the range to
pick up, though some could have our basic personality types. There are only so many of these frequencies
that us humans can and are tuned to. The
things that make us individuals are our experiences; so nurture makes us
individuals but nature offers finite options.
There are rare, higher frequencies that enlightened people can tune to, but
most people have the 300, with the sports package. While some just have basic cable and then a
few poor souls can only get the local channels with rabbit ears. It explains where inspiration comes from. It explains the idea that there is cosmic knowledge
out there to be tapped into. The higher
the frequency the more of this cosmic knowledge or wisdom one can express and
broadcast. Sounds far fetched? Certainly there are things this idea can’t
account for? True. It’s also difficult to imagine that I am not
just me, but a whole group of people, sharing the same soul. That’s almost depressing in a way. It takes away ownership of your soul. This idea doesn’t line up all the way, but
it’s something to consider on a drive to work or at a cocktail party.
But keep in mind just how much of
“reality” we are not able to detect.
The light spectrum. The sound
spectrum. We have instruments that help
us see more of reality than our poor human bodies can detect, but still it’s
only a fraction of what’s really out there in existence. Science tells us there are several more
dimensions than the four we know of and there are also quite possibly several
other universes. I’ve speculated about
the universe being a living organism in the past. What if consciousness is woven into the
fabric of the universe? What if it
doesn’t reside inside of us, but comes from out there somewhere? It’s an intriguing thought at least. Who knows?
