Spiritual Astrology: Self-Cultivation to a Higher Level

Astrology is a spiritual science that is inseparable from the supernatural abilities developed through the cultivation of the human body.

Why were ancient astrologers able to detect so accurately the human body’s correspondence with the planets and zodiac signs?

That’s because famous ancient astrologers such as Nostradamus generally had supernatural abilities. In being passed down to today, astrology has lost its supernatural component and has only retained the mundane horoscope techniques.

In the past, astrologers used their inner eyes (and supernatural abilities) to grasp the hidden workings of the universe. They understood Pluto as the god of the underworld, death, and wealth before the discovery of Pluto in 1930. The ancient Greeks even wrote extensively about the meaning of Uranus, Neptune, Ceres, Juno, Pallas, etc. before the discovery of these planets and asteroids in our modern time.

That’s because through the inner eyes, ancient astrologers can see the hidden qualities of the planets in different dimensions. There are many levels of the inner eyes. Astrologers whose inner eyes have reached a particular level can only see manifestations at that level. They can’t see the truth beyond that level, and neither will they believe it.

Astrologers whose inner eyes are well-developed can predict the rise and fall of a nation; or if the inner eyes are particularly advanced, they can see the laws of change governing all of the cosmos. The power of knowing fate is possible because there are orderly principles at work regarding the movement of matter.

Nowadays, some people believe that if they can’t see something with their physical eyes, it isn’t real. They think only visible things are valid. They do not believe what they cannot see.

In the past, such people were considered to have a poor level of enlightenment. There are many things our physical eyes can’t see, such as air, microwaves, X-rays, ultraviolet light, and emotions. Just because something is invisible doesn’t mean it isn’t real.

Your body has a field in a particular dimension. This field corresponds to the universe, so a mirror image of anything that exists in the universe could appear in it. This means that you can see the changes of the universe in your field, even when this field merely reflects the real thing.

Hence, ancient astrologers can map your whole body with the planets and zodiac signs within it, since the two correspond.

Ancient astrologers understood the principle of correspondence: “As above, so below; as within, so without”, that your human body is a microcosm of the universe, and the universe is a macrocosm of your human body. All trees, animals, oceans, mountains, rivers, stars, and galaxies are within you.

Understanding the True Nature of the Universe

To understand the true nature of the universe, space, time, and even the human body, you must follow a true Way and become truly enlightened. As you grow in wisdom and improve your moral character, you will be able to rise above the human level. Only then can you begin to see the real nature of the universe and the beings that exist in other dimensions.

You should be familiar with the term “self-cultivation”. Self-cultivation means assimilating yourself to the fundamental qualities of the Way that underlie all of existence: Zhen, Shan, Ren, or Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance. These are the essence of the Way. What you cultivate is a Great Fa, or a Great Dao.

The Fa is taught by Mr. Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa (Falun Dafa is translated as “The Great Way of Spiritual Perfection”).

Mr. Li states that “One day, if you yourself have the power of knowing fate, you will be able to see the class we are holding here today, as it will still exist there; it is already there now. Right from the moment of birth, your entire life already exists elsewhere, in a special dimension where time as we know it doesn’t exist. And for some people more than one lifetime is there.

It might be hard for some people to come to terms with this, as it would mean that their striving to achieve things and to change their lives for the better amounts to little. But indeed, the hard work that people put in can only change minor or little things in their lives. And in fact, it is precisely on account of all those efforts to change things that you may have made karma for yourself.

If people’s efforts truly didn’t impact anything, there would be no chance of doing wrong in life, and it would be impossible to incur karma. When you force things to go your way it will be at someone else’s expense, and so you will have done wrong.

This is why in spiritual practice it is always stressed that you should let things unfold naturally. You might end up harming people if it takes effort to get your way. You will incur a debt to them if you, through your efforts, end up seizing what was meant to be theirs.

Ordinary people can’t change their lives in any significant way, try as they may. The only exception is if they do nothing but evil and have no moral boundaries. But while that can change one’s life, what lies ahead is utter destruction. We can see from higher realms that the soul doesn’t perish when a person dies.”
