I think Nader is mapping traditional planetary influences to known areas of the brain that supposedly control those influences. Of course the jury is out on astrology because scientists are terrified that if it is thoroughly research it may well have some value. I wouldn't worry much about opinions here though. I often sit with people who think astrology is bunk and with people (with science backgrounds) who think it has some merit. Line on water. Um, why would a scientist be terrified that astrology has some merit? Because they fear being discredited. If you prove that astrology is a good explanation of human psychology or destiny you'll get a Nobel prize. I think there have been many thorough tests into it and they obviously drew a blank or it would be part of the mainstream. That's how it works. "I think" doesn't cut it. There haven't been thorough tests. For one thing you have to know astrology to put together a proper test. Most researchers don't know astrology or enough about it to do a proper test. Then there needs to be funding. Sorry, there have definitely been thorough studies of astrology. But feel free to demonstrate its power here any time. The main thing that's really stupid about King Tony's ideas about astrology and the brain is that he only uses the planets visible to the naked eye. If you get a bit objective about it you'll realise that's as good a disproof as you'll need to treat the rest of it with immense suspicion. If the guys research standards are so low..... For one thing the planets visible to the naked eye have centuries of observation. The outer planets don't and may not have that much influence. Some of these were discovered when perturbations in Saturn's orbit were noted that couldn't be attributed just to Jupiter. Western astrologers speculate up what they think Uranus, Neptune and Pluto do. We live in a sea orchestrated by planetary influences which we humans are subservient to even if they are subtle and not readily apparent. They are more like weather changes. So the all-knowing ancients didn't include them in horoscopes because they thought the effects were too small? Don't make me laugh. King Tony can't connect them to anything in the brain because he'd have to invent new names for them which would be an admission that the vedas are wrong. Or maybe he's so brainwashed he didn't even think about it..... All of his ideas stink to high heaven, his book of "discoveries" is surreal in how much it's divorced from reality, but I actually wish the universe was like that so I could go see an astrologer and get some yagya's that work. But I can't, not without throwing my money into bottomless pit of delusion. I've seen too many people do that not to know that it's all bollocks. On 05/27/2015 11:39 AM, jr_esq@... mailto:jr_esq@...
