THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN BIRTH, DEATH AND THE TRASCENDENCE by Udo Rudolph |
Part 1: General remarks on the subject
The sad lack of knowledge on transcendental worlds and the purpose of life is due solely to the fact that we have hitherto devoted too little attention to these subjects. The fact that there are people who can make meaningful statements on invisible
force fields in the human body — the
chakras — and that telepathic communication
between the living and the dead has been proved to take place should make us
stop and think again. Here there are points of contact with the
transcendent world. Reports of children who can recall their past lives are
also facts which have increasingly been observed in particular among the
highly gifted “indigo children”. it is an established fact that people are becoming increasingly aware of
their desire for an answer to these questions. Leading scientists have also
worked towards finding answers to these important questions concerning life,
death and transcendence in recent decades. In their published works, the
physicists Fritjof Capra and Hans-Peter Dürr have drawn attention to the
need to shed more light on these subjects. In his book “Wendezeit” (“Time for change”), Capra writes on the subject of birth and
death: “The encounter with
birth and death experienced in the course of a psychotherapy often
constitutes a genuine existential crisis, as it compels people to seriously
consider the meaning of life and the values underlying it. “Birth
and death appear to be the beginning and end of human existence, and any
psychological system that fails to include them must remain superficial and
incomplete."
Citation from Graf, p. 420 in Capra’s book “Wendezeit”. Hans-Peter Dürr, former head of the
Max-Planck-lnstitute of Physics, writes in his book “Physik und
Transzendenz” (“Physics and transcendence"): In order to be able to
act, man needs a knowledge that goes beyond purely scientific knowledge — he needs transcendental
guidance. The fact that everything is seen in the light of natural
science and that we are directly experiencing breathtaking technological
advances clouds our view of the transcendental and its necessity for our
life. Yet this shortcoming becomes increasingly tangible as the danger
to mankind grows. The calls for a clear direction to follow are becoming
louder in the confusing diversity of an increasingly complex and complicated
technical world. People today are becoming more aware of their desire for an
essential “Etne” or, as Werner Heisenberg called it, a “central order”
behind this increasingly ramified and crumbling world of thought.” The following statement was made by Albert
Einstein: “Mystic experience is
the deepest and also greatest emotion of which we are capable. These citations from individual famous scientists are “calls for clarity in the desert of human ignorance on the subject of transcendence” and should be taken seriously. I believe that the discovery of as yet unknown “transcendental worlds” is one of the fundamental issues of our existence today. If we are capable of sending men into outer space and to other planets, then our scientists should also be capable of investigating the inner transcendental worlds. We will remain at the mercy af the forces and energy of these worlds for as long as we do not acknowledge them, make a serious attempt to investigate them and reconcile ourselves with them. Only when that has been done will we be able te see the "central order” mentioned by Werner Heisenberg in his book “Der Teil und das Ganze" ("The whole and the part”).Astrologists are studying the problem of
human lite between the "mysteries" of birth and death. Unfortunately, the
transcendental aspect will continue te be largely disregarded for as Long as
birth and death remain mysteries for us. Yet these mysteries could be solved
if we were to incorporate the theory of reincarnation in our view of the
world. This "key" makes the meaning of life clearer. The recurrent
incarnations on our planet Earth are essential evolutionary processes in the
development of our consciousness. They should lead us to perfection as is
written in the Bible: “You shall! Become perfect as your Father
in Heaven is perfect”. That is impossible in a singie lifetime and
can only be achieved in the course of many incarnations! Sir George Travelyan, the wise old man in the Findhorn group, is
considered the pioneer of a New Age. In his book “Eine Vision
des Wassermann-Zeitalters” (“A vision of the Aquarian Age”), he wrìtes: “The inner being in each and every one
of us is immortal and cannot be touched by the death of the physical body
containing it. The conclusions arising from this knowledge of the spiritual
nature in man are immense. We are a creation with body, soul and spirit - the spiritua! being inside us, our true
self, is
immortal.” “The scholars say that “man begins to die with the momenf that he is born". We, however, believe that man is constantly being born and particularly in the moment of so-called death. Our understanding of the reincarmation is inherent in our attitude towards death. People call it death, yet it is the real birth. The transition in full consciousness is particularly remarkable.” These
few words contain clear statements on the terms birth and death and show
that the reincarnation is the link between the changes in
existence and form at birth and death. Man is governed by an eternal cycle
between the visible material world in the here and now and the invisible
immaterial other world which we enter as we pass through the gates of birth
and death. Astrologists develop important knowledge providing useful answers
for a better understariding of life for all those in search af such
understanding. lf
we realize that the “transcendental world” is the spring supplying us
with energy, then we should face this “spring of life” with respect and
gratefulness. Astrologists work with transcendental planetary forces and force
fields which obey a higher order and affect all areas of life on Earth. It
should then also be possible to show not only the vìsible person as the
entity of body, “soul and spirit”, but also to portray the invisible
immortal part, the soul and spirit, the “life element” in our
astrological constellations. Carl
Perch, one of the leading teachers of the “Hamburg School”, has
investigated the subjects of birth and death with particular points. He did
not restrict himself to the sum of
which is considered in the Hamburg School as representing the “entity of body, soul and spirit”. Perch undertook other changes which made it possible to address “soul and spirit” purely with the haif-sum . A
condition in which the life element is separated from the body, as may
briefly occur during serious accidents and major operations, but which is
final when death occurs. In all these cases, the lite element separates from
the body. Numerous investigations with these points for birth and death have
convinced me that they are effective and can be applied as hypothesis for
further irìvestigations. However, these can only be successful if the
meridian Is “flawless”. If
this hypothesis is confirmed further, it will open up a new and larger field
for “spiritual astrology” which will bring us to a close relationship
with the transcendental worlds.
