Now there is a University for advanced astrology degrees in Seattle! In this recognition I have written an Astrological Mission statement (below) and explanation of the New Astrology. Go to Kepler College for more information about this new University.

Goal Overview
Part 1

In 1970 I began studying Astrology essentially as a skeptic. A traumatic series of injuries lead me to question life deeply. This introspection lead me to questions about existence and the nature of life in general. The more I studied metaphysics and astrology, the more evidence I was able to find for its validity by applying it.1 Because I had studied animal life extensively to this point (including a mastery of the art of falconry at age 14), it was easy for me to see that metaphysics was simply a more expanded and inclusive version of physics. However, there was a major drawback to these studies. Because of the "disbelief" (please see "The Decline of Astrology and The Christian Cult") in these subjects such as astrology, I had to begin a program of "unbrainwashing" myself and perspectives I had acquired from early on, because of the religious brainwashing of my ancestors. Astrology and metaphysical subjects were still framed in the linguistics and negativism from the era from whence we stopped regarding them as relevant. Now, it is our world's focus on commercialism and the industrial/territorial perspective that has lead us away from man, "God", and nature being one and the same. This is the result of profoundly delusional collective ego focus, and the duping of the populace for purely materialistic concerns over all other considerations. This focus was adopted with the perspective "deus ex machina," wherein the deity or God exists separate from nature; and is a psychological delusion of grandeur in no uncertain terms. This psychosis of mankind is the effect of a runaway ego based on the premise that manipulation, "accomplishment", "achievement", and domination, are the only signatures of intelligence (and why it has taken us so long to acknowledge cetacean marine life as "intelligent"). This is why we make sports figures "heroes." This relates to the egocentric Greek/Roman perspective (which much of the societal structure of the US is founded upon) that Man is the measure of all things. Man is not the measure of all things, man is but a minute part of the all.
With this basic understanding in mind, it became my goal to update and revise in as modern as possible terms, the knowledge of astrology primarily, and of metaphysics secondarily (Tyl and Bashar, 1972 and 1985 respectively) that removed the objectionable value judgments that allows some in academia to continue to ridicule these profound, valid and ancient subjects. It is obvious to anyone with a thorough working knowledge of astrology that there is a strong and possibly empirically provable connection between astronomical mechanics and psychological affect (if the proper design can be devised to operationalize and test it). It is through psychology that I am pursuing an accurate working model of modern psychological theory and astrological premise based on the tremendous work of Noel Tyl as a starting point, Mr. Tyl a Harvard graduate who's work in this area is the most impressive to date (but in my view incomplete). I am creating a model that demonstrates the truth behind the concept that we do indeed create our own reality and that nothing is truly outside of our consciousness.
There has been one major difficulty. All of my beliefs about reality have been, and are having to be modified. I have studied Albert Einstein's theories of relativity to some extent and have found a great correlation of the relativity premise to describe psychic material and its relation to physical experiential reality. In essence, that we create our experiential reality relative to the beliefs and definitions we hold psychically about reality.2 There is no empirically existent external reality per se, except for the agreed upon simultaneous perception of shared experience that we collectively create and label "the" reality (please see my "Nature of Reality" references, Bashar, Darryl Anka, Seth, Jane Roberts, John Mack, Harvard Psychology, and Amit Goswami, Physics).
Obviously these holistic recognitions lead to a questioning of the "health" of the premise of multi-interdisciplinary subjects and understandings long presumed separate and non-integrated. Science is a useful tool, but when made the "deity" it destroys holistic and holographic integrity (that the whole organizes the parts). Therefore, to reinstate this lost cognition, I wrote an article (Saturn Opposition Saturn, 1986) introducing the concept and astrological mechanics of how we create our reality from early environmental schemata, and demonstrated through actual case histories, the astrological mechanics of this truth.3 In this article I demonstrated how the natal astronomical position of Saturn reflected certain fears and beliefs acquired as schema, reflected in the early environment psychologically, and delineable through the astrological significators that define the parental structure. This schemata was then shown to be experienced as a crisis (belief materialized) in maturity at or around age fourteen. This (Saturnine quadrature) concept was also introduced and discussed in Tyl's work (1972) and originates in Grant Lewi's Astrology For The Millions. This internalized schemata revealed through astrological analysis, has been demonstrated as an unconscious belief internalized and repressed early on, catalyzed by parental interaction.
The critical aspect of this publication is that two things could be demonstrated with a high degree of reliability; that there was indeed a correlation between astrological significators and behavior, and that the reality experienced at a later date was the effect of the patternization of belief and an experiencing of the self and its definitions. The only confirmation of an empirically existing external reality from my research in this area, has been that the physical experience existed as a set of props; as a learning aid for the individual and as the effect of definitions held and that the parental schematic patterning of the child's beliefs were meant as a catalyst of developmental tension. Physical reality was demonstrated to be a mirror to allow the individual to examine the schemata held.
Thus, one of the primary goals of my academic work is greater exposure to, and incorporation of, a wider range of beliefs and paradigms based on my recognition that all must fit holographically, and to blend this diversity with astrological cognitions. Also, to incorporate and integrate the existing educational structure's guidelines of accepted knowledge formats, and bring them into a cogent structure of the existing knowledge I have of other disciplines in metaphysics and the natural world. These other disciplines in return add credence (or clarify) and reference to things already known to myself to be true. "The" truth is the composition of all truths (Bashar). It is impossible for there to be a "one truth" other than this truth.
I have referenced current accepted academic paradigms in a manuscript now complete that is an integrated guide to self- empowerment. A guide that will allow individuals to reference commonly accepted formats of the educational structure while it introduces the student to astrological principles and the psychology of reality creation. A fuller comprehension of cross-disciplines adds more flexibility, power, and understanding of how the whole organizes the parts.

It is my opinion that the world monetary structures are undergoing and will continue to undergo, a tremendous destructurization (starting in force after 2000, because our values are), wherein not only will our basic aspects of daily life be revolutionized, but our fundamental philosophies of the nature of existence will be questioned. My goal is to educate and provide an outlet for the fulfillment of what will appear to be disaster (de-structurization), but is in "reality" the best thing that ever happened to mankind. The re-cognition that the deity is all one thing and that no "part" can be outside of that whole. We will transform by taking back power we have given away in this illusion we call external reality.

Goal Overview
Part 2

In part 1 of this goal overview, I discussed some of the primary aims of my research and integration of academic applications. In this section we will discuss some of the factors that make up the overall inductive argument that has been the premise of my writings. That is, that the detriment of science is its dogmatic adherence to ignoring the organizing power of the whole, and that the dissection of the parts (which science does) cannot validate or discount the whole by itself. These assertions and factors I incorporate follow in a semi-outline form and reflect the layout of my manuscript; "The Integrated Astrological Guide to Self- Empowerment."
1. First and foremost an accurate clarification of definitions (or redefinition for clarity) that will be used in any discussion is a requisite, i.e.; The word dis-ease is commonly interpreted to mean a malfunctioning of a system of a plant or animal. However, a more accurate definition is that the dis-ease is within the organism as a whole as a state of being, and is what predisposes an individual to the malfunctioning of the system. In other words, the inability of the individual to welcome developmental tension as a precursor to identity validation and fulfillment, creates the state of dis-ease (from old French desaise). This state of being is the effect of living in a state of hell (parts artificially separated from the whole). If we trace the root for this word in old English _helan_ it becomes much easier to see that I am not being flippant. Helan means to cover over, or to hide. Now, from a psychological point of view, there are different levels of psychic material i.e., the unconscious, conscious, superconscious. To the psychologically aware, it is not a great stretch to recognize that a consistent and prolonged hiding of unconscious trauma and/or guilt/belief patterns could be reflected in an individual's day-to-day conscious mind functioning, allow for application dysfunction, (sexual, mental) create insecurity, or in an overall sense a state of dis-ease that allows the organism to be vulnerable to physical system malfunction and bacterial or viral invasion.
Therefore, the importance of definition clarification allows us to proceed from clarity of understanding, and that other systems and disciplines can be successfully integrated because of their inherent cogency once understood clearly. There is really little difference between varying discipline's discoveries and their cross-relevance, which most often reflect point number 2.
Heuristics ("to find out", aiding or leading on toward discovery). Which, through implied meaning, allows us to re-cognize (rethink) the original intent, remove mystery, and dis-cover (anti-helan) the integrated nature of the universe by dis-cerning (Latin to separate or distinguish) the difference between a repressed unconscious pattern or belief projection we may have been taught, and analytical clear-sightedness. How can this be achieved? It can only be through the knowledge of self. Through the awareness of the functioning of these levels of psychic material, which are responsible for the subjective interpretation and creation of the experience itself.

It is only possible to accurately interpret the universe when we recognize our union with it. All-that-is (God) is all one thing. All things within it can only be all of the possible ways that all-that-is has of creating itself into being (Pantheistically). Therefore, all patterns that are recognizable must be integratable through this logic of derivation (to descend from a source). Which is the 3rd point.
What we do with this recognition of derivation is point number 4.
As outlined in part 1 of this overview, astrology provides a psychological format that leads to a discernment of psychological momentum and belief patterns that is essential to the above outlined awareness. Once these belief momentums are recognized, what do we do with this awareness? My suggestion is that as an extension of all-that-is we are responsible for the creations in our reality (conscious and unconscious) and that fate is simply unrecognized choice. Release from hell is through conscious creative choice and awareness at any given moment. Knowing what will "happen" as most psychics and astrologers believe, is basically irrelevant to the control mechanism of what will happen.
Many models and comparisons are used in my manuscript to illuminate to those so open and willing, that an absence of evidence, is not evidence of absence, but is basically reflective of the insecure state of man, his unwillingness to "uncover" his psyche (from fear) and hence the consequently difficult and arduous release from "hell."
