CaduceusMercurius a dit:They come into the world with the full potential of their mission, but the way they develop is determined by their surroundings. The two go together, there's no causal connection. From a psychological or pedagogical point of view one might say there is a causal connection, but the astrological perspective turns that picture upside down because the type of parents and schooling one will receive is already visible when one is born. It's better to not dwell too much on causal relationships.
Part of us is subject to change, other parts are not. You can change and add certain software, but you can't replace the operating system. Crude example, but it's a useful metaphor.
True, but those complex multidimensional ways are still occuring in mathematically predictable ways.
Didn't we have this talk for so many times? I even think that every discussion we have is about matrix and the truth...I'm sorry for arguing so extensively. I'm allergic to determinisms and their empires Laughing
How can you predict something that doesn't exist? The future does not exist, it is a creation of the matrix. But this is another topic.True, but those complex multidimensional ways are still occuring in mathematically predictable ways.
I'll maybe travel to south America next year, would be nice Wink I'd like to meet your real friends....
I disagree that Nature includes the Matrix, except if you define the matrix as I do. Nature is not a system.
The astrological point of view turns things upside down because it shows the individual starts life with a certain personality (the operating system) and a certain future ahead of him. That personality and future influences upon it are not caused by the astrology itself, not caused by planets or anything, but indicated.Nomada a dit:Hey! you're telling me the astrological turns the causal scape upside down and at the same time not to dwell too much on causal relationships!
Exactly.I do agree that contemporaneity does not imply causality...
You first make a map of the entire universe as seen from the exact location and time of an individual's birth. You then progress this map into the future by using certain mathematical formulas. Even the symbolism used to interpret these maps obey certain mathematical formulas, for example the sign Aquarius is 180 degrees opposite of Leo, and the interpretations of these constellations are basically opposite. The same applies to the astrological houses (1st house is the self, 7th house is the other). In the end there's nothing mystical about astrology. It's just that life itself is so mysterious."True, but those complex multidimensional ways are still occuring in mathematically predictable ways."
How do you know that?
A system is a set that is defined by rules. Basketball is a system. Society is based on systems. I didn't say (resp. want to say) that the matrix is not a system, the matrix is indeed a system.that is correct if the matrix is a system. What is a system? and why is matrix not a system?
Pariah a dit:If a matrix is a bad thing what's the alternative?
Absolute freedom from systems? freedom from all human systems would be chaos, and gaining freedom from natural systems (is that even possible?) you wouldn't even exist!
The better systems give us reference, I would still say that freedom (if there is such a thing) needs to be in a balance with systems...
Or to put it another way (human systems at least) should be fexible - to recreate themselves when errors are detected, or allow some level of individual interpretation.
You also have to use matrices to realise your in a matrix: can you really claim that systems are inherently bad or an illusion from that?....

you are sayin what the Bible does...With out systems for people to adhere to, we would need decent people, People that could abstain from impure thoughts and people that can be trusted by themselves with out a self orientated goal for greedy gain. An elimination of fear and a sense of well being for everything would also help.
