DAY4 ReBLOGathon, free will: nano poblano finale & change challenge, astrology — Fiesta Estrellas

New blog post about the old post starts here:

I managed to blog all of November for 2020 Nanopoblano. Some of you might have been there for that. Today, I took a less thoughtful look at my blog (for my ReBLOGathon this year) and took a random post. This is celebrating time! There was a hiccup yesterday with posting comments on blogs and computer frustration, but it comes with the territory for the blogger.

“Neuroscientists identified a specific aspect of the notion of freedom (the conscious control of the start of the action) and researched it: the experimental results seemed to indicate that there is no such conscious control, hence the conclusion that free will does not exist.”

Free will is still an interesting research topic, just so you know. I originally found Annaka Harris on the Lex Fridman podcast about a month ago. I can see now that all the youtube channels that had links are now unavailable. So I will now link to Lex’s website:here where I ended up getting the podcast. I’m really not concluded on free will vs. not free will. However, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if we find out that free will is an illusion. No. Surprise. Here. She discusses the difference between “free will” and “conscious will.” I think her conversation with Lex is worth considering. She said it’s her game to break up intuition to find deeper understanding about the nature of reality. She’s a bit of a disruptor. Good for her. She means well. She does not talk about astrology. I don’t blame her 🙂 Be nice, she feels more comfortable writing than speaking. She still checks things with her intuition and is “a physicist at heart.”

This is my final blog post for the November Nano Poblano Challenge, and I’ve been blogging every day, all month! This was a challenge I didn’t think I’d take on with such a busy schedule, but alas, I did it! I’ll be linking all my blog posts here at the bottom. It’s also the day […]

One theory of why astrology works + some thoughts

On By Ka Malana - Fiestaestrellas.comIn Astrology, Read Me First1 Comment

Hello everyone 🙂

Astrology still remains by the mainstream a largely controversial topic, and it is greatly misunderstood. I thought it’d help to share Das Gorvani’s theory about, “The Physics of Astrology,” by linking to it here. This is just one theory, one that this man worked on developing to explain the physics for astrology.

Throughout the years, I’ve really found astrology to be a valuable tool for introspection–and, by consulting astrological charts throughout the years, it has lent itself to practical value.

I believe that what is beneath it all is tied up with existing metaphysical questions (and nowadays quantum physical questions, too) about consciousness, spirituality, and the design or “not-design” of the universe. I think free-will and not-free-will can exist simultaneously, simply depends on what we are talking about and if we have symbolic language to describe the phenomena.

Enjoy this. For me, “the truth is out there.” If physics can overcome the time travel paradoxes, I’d be happy to enjoy some time chatting with Kepler. I continue to be amazed by how well astrology works as a developmental tool and in understanding one’s own consciousness and connections with others, regardless.

I’m also “chewing on” this article in Stanford’s Encyclopedia of Philosophy called, “Quantum Approaches to Consciousness.” First published Tue Nov 30, 2004; substantive revision Tue Jun 2, 2015. As a person who is also studying Traditional East Asian Medicine (TEAM), it’s of interest to me to one day understand how consciousness and acupuncture work from a physics standpoint; it is certainly not a prerequisite to practicing it and experiencing the benefic results.

I don’t think that we can understand consciousness until we have a unified theory in physics. Still, we may never understand consciousness.
