[Bill Wrobel] ******************************** PREFACE This volume is the first to provide an encyclopaedic listing of diseases with their remedies and astrological indicators. These indicators have been given so that future researchers can verify their correctness from a large scale sampling of medical records related to specific diseases. These records should supply: (a) Patient's date and place of birth (natal chart) (b) Name of disease (c) Date of admission to hospital (progressed chart) 1 The computer sets up a natal horoscope given; the progressed planets and transits for the patient's date of admission to hospital. All aspects between the planets at fifteen degree intervals are analyzed and aggregated for each 1,000 cases of a specific disease. The patterns are displayed on a visual console and should be similar for each1,000 cases of the same disease. A similar aggregation of planetary positions in the signs is made for each sample to test the correlation between the signs and the parts of the body associated with the specific disease. DEDICATION This book is dedicated to Joan White who helped prepare the original bibliography in Baltimore and Philadelphia, and to Nina Anderberg(?) of Hamilton, New Zealand, who assisted with the final typing of the manuscript. Books in this Series. The MAAT Texts This is the fourth book of a series. 1. The Aquarian Bible of the Cosmic Christ. 2. The Aquarian Mandala : The Macrocosmic Universe in Man. 3. Aquarian Mythology :A Comparative Study. 4. Aquarian Astrology and Medical Diagnosis. MAAT is the Egyptian goddess of Truth which lies beyond all systems of thought but can be approached through the language of symbols. This series of MAAT texts is an attempt to integrate various fields of knowledge (such as religion, mythology, cosmology, evolution, symbology and psychology) by the use of an underlying series of unchanging symbols. 2 I have used the zodiacal and planetary sequences in an unvarying sequence to demonstrate the correlations between knowledge fields. This is the foundation for a new type of education based on the integrative consciousness of the Higher Self as distinct from the analytical consciousness of the Personality or Lower Self. The anatomy of man is directly influenced by the universe or macrocosm through the constant interaction of their energy fields. This is the basis for Medical Astrology. An Occult Catechism (A) Lift up thy head O Disciple; dost thou see one or countless stars above thee, burning in the dark midnight sky? I sense one Flame from which they come. I see these countless undetached stars as sparks from the oneSource. Thou sayest well. And now look into thyself and around thee. The star-light of the Monad which burns inside thee, dost thou feel it different in anywise from the light that shines in thy brothers and sisters? It is in no way different. We are led astray by the apparent differences of the vestures of the Soul. Our outer garments of the bodies delude the ignorant into saying "Thy Soul and my Soul." The radical unity of the ultimate essence of every atom -- whether in star or human being and whether in the spiritual, mental, emotional or physical realms -- this unity is the one fundamental law of Occult Science. 3 The Star-Monad reflects through the Higher Self of the Christ-consciousness into the Lower Self or Personality. The light of this star, when made visible to our consciousness is the ultimate fusion of the Soul with its Source in the Godhead. An Occult Catechism (B) The nature of the Ultimate Reality cannot be immediately apprehended by the Soul. It is necessary for us to adopt the qualifications for the Path of Discipleship. These are: Self discipline. Purity of thought, emotions, speech and action. Discrimination between good and evil. One-pointedness. Perseverance. Meditation. Study of the gnosis or Soul-Wisdom. Confidence in the teachings or teacher. Brotherhood and altruism. Love for all things and beings. Help, comfort and guidance to others. Harmlessness to all. Nothing but spiritual love and wisdom can serve as food for the Soul. We find the Soul when we turn inwards to the deeper recesses of our being. The Soul is a fragment of the Godhead here on Earth to gain the experience necessary for perfection. 4 The golden nature of the Soul must be refined by the efforts of the Personality so that it can be freed from the earthly dross of the physical plane and return to the Father which is in Heaven. This Father is the Star-Monad.

The universe is a created conscious and living entity known as the macrocosm. 2. The macrocosm is reflected into man, the microcosm. 3. The guidance and control of these energies is the function of the angelic hierarchies. 6 4. The main transformers of the energies are the seven Sacred Planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn) in the universe, and the seven chakras or psychic centres along the spine of man. 5. The evolution of the universe and man is towards a perfected state of being. 6. This evolution is achieved through the great cycles or Yugas in the universe, and through the process or reincarnation for the individual. 7. All actions of individuals create effects, either mental, emotional or physical. 8. These effects react on each individual as karma either in his current life or in a subsequent life. 9. Limitations placed on an individual from birth are created by his actions in a previous life. 10. Disease is caused by the precipitation of karma. 11. The nature of the disease and the timing of the onset of the disease is discernible from the natal horoscope. 12. The cure or alleviation of disease is intimately associated with cosmic radiations, whether planetary or stellar. The Aquarian Age and Ancient Philosophy "The question which we ought to ask ourselves is whether we are in the daylight with the light of truth rising above our horizon, or whether the day is with our adversaries in the antipodes; whether the shadows of error are over us or over them; whether we who are beginning to revive the ancient philosophy are in the dawn which ends the night or in the evening of a day which is closing. And this is not difficult to decide for these two schools of thought can be roughly judged by their fruits. "The one produced men who were temperate in their lives, expert in the art of healing, judicious in contemplation, remarkable in divination, having miraculous powers in magic, wary of superstitions, law-abiding, of irreproachable morality, penetrating in theology, heroic in all their ways ... they knew how to transform substances and how to live peacefully in society; their sacraments were inviolable... they were in communion with good and tutelar spirits, and the vestiges of their amazing powers endure 7 unto this day. "But as to the other, their opponents, I leave them to the examination of any man of good sense." Ciordano Bruno. Cena de la Ceneri. Paracelsus "The action of the macrocosmic influence stimulates the corresponding elements existing in man into action... because the latter is the son of the astral body of the macrocosm in the same sense as the physical body of man is a son of the earth. "There is an attractive power in the soul of man which attracts physical, mental and moral diseases from the Chaos. The planetary influences extend through all Nature, and man attracts poisonous qualities from the Moon, from the stars, and from other things; but the Moon and the stars and other things also attract evil influences from man, and distribute them again by their rays, because Nature is an undivided whole whose parts are intimately connected." Paracelsus. Labyrinthus Medicorum. "You should know that the constellations of the planets and stars on the sky, with all the firmament, do not cause the growth of our body, our colour, appearance, or behaviour; and have nothing to do with our virtues and qualities. Such an idea is ridiculous; the motion of Saturn interferes with nobody's life, and makes it neither longer nor shorter, and, even if there had never been a planet called "Saturn" on the sky, there would be people born having saturnine natures. For all that the planet Mars is of a fiery nature, Nero was not its child, and although they are of the same nature (the same kind of energy being manifested in either of them) neither received it from the other." Paracelsus "De Ente Astrorum," Paramirum, C.1.2.
