Guest Michael emrys Posted August 9, 2000 Share Posted August 9, 2000 I made for many years a concerted study of astrology (both the Western and Chinese varieties), numerology, the Tarot, the I Ching, Geomancy, Feng Shui, and many other similar practices. My conclusion was that there is something in each of them in the hands of a wise and sensitive practicioner. But then a lot of wise and sensitive practicioners can do quite well without the props. So it all depends. There are many strange and wonderful things in the world. No, I will not tell you my sign, but I will give you a hint: I love to twit people, but I am not mean. There!

Guest Michael emrys Posted August 9, 2000 Share Posted August 9, 2000 Oh, one more thing. Anyboody interested in pursuing Hitler et al's fascination with the occult might want to check out a book called The Occult Reich. I forget the author's name, sorry, but it may still be in print and therefore not too hard to track down. Not sure if it's 100% accurate, this kind of thing gets sensationalized a lot, but it is a place to start. There was another book called The Spear of Destiny, but so far as I know turned out to be mostly bogus. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevbo Posted August 10, 2000 Share Posted August 10, 2000 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Dallas: Two things... Firstly, I am thinking that the HitlerJugend division was comprised solely of those born in 1926 because 1926 is the year of the Tiger in Eastern Astrology. The Tiger is the most aggressive and spirited sign in Eastern Astrology. If I was forming divisions, I would definitely use Tigers given the opportunity. I think Himmler thought this as well. Their subsequent battle history speaks for itself in terms of ferocity and tenacity (if not intelligence). My mates think it was just Himmler scraping the bottom of the manpower barrel but I am thinking otherwise... any thoughts? Secondly, I would like to conduct an Eastern Astrological, Western Astrological and Numerological survey on those who frequent the board and thus are interested in wargaming. If you also would like to see the results, please post your date of birth in mm dd yy format and I will collate, interpret and post the results. If the response is good enough for a decent sample, I think it could make very interesting reading.

Don't take it personnally. If they are making fun of you then they haven't read on Hitler that much. 02/19/72 A lot of people still aren't aware of the extent that Hitler ,Hess , and Himmler used astrology to help them judge what to do. Hitler even had all fortune seers rounded up and killed any that gave readings of a German loss in the war. Loki, I don't think Hitler believed in anything but himself. If he killed astrologers it was because of their anti war sentiments. I think he killed everyone who was overtly pessimistic about the war. As to the significance of the day Hitler killed himself, I think it was because the Russians were in the streets above, killing everyone in sight pbem setup is on the way. ___________________ Huns_1 Day after his wedding?

I'm not trying to 'convert' anyone to my way of thinking. I'm not interested in 'proving' to anyone that this stuff is useful. You don't need supernatural powers to collate and interpret data, statisticians do it all the time. Your powers of logic and reasoning don't intimidate me because they are not present in your post. Good point about the $10m. Why don't I chase that money? I think it is because I cannot prove that this stuff is valuable to anyone. People have to see the value themselves. I haven't looked at the proof required but my guess is that they will require 'scientific' evidence. These areas of knowledge are not scientific in nature and therefor cannot be 'proven' in this manner. I am certainly not deluding myself, and I have no desire to delude others. I agree totally that people who lie and decieve others for profit are not nice people. I hope you are simply misinterpreting my motive because if you are not misinterpreting then you expose yourself as an intolerant and blinkered personality much in need of the spirituality and self awareness contained in these subjects.

Echo Posted August 10, 2000 Share Posted August 10, 2000 "you expose yourself as an intolerant and blinkered personality much in need of the spirituality and self awareness contained in these subjects". Dallas, I have no need of spirituality or self awareness derived from something which in your own words "I cannot prove that this stuff is valuable to anyone." Ive been a magician for over 23 years, and I have tolerated people of your "faith" (for faith is all it can in truth be labeled.) since becoming wise to it. I can produce volumes of material, books, videos... and even demonstrate, superhuman, arcane powers of the mind, body, and spirit. It truly is enough to start a whole new religion. Whilst demonstating it, of course it's all tongue in cheek. And the people whom I know understand I'm deceiving them for fun, and are a great deal entertained. However, If I tell some strangers I am in contact with the demi-god Zu'll, and will help them become "spiritualy aware", or put them in contact with their deceased grandparents or spouse, all for a nominal fee of course, its a bit different isnt it? In India they are called "street fakirs", in Africa, "witch doctors", in Jamaica its voodoo, in America its "dial a psychic", and its all the same thing...garbage. Its all catered to the gullible masses for profit or power. I have mountains of evidence it doesn't exist. That being it has never been felt, smelt , heard or seen, nor will it ever be. My self awareness comes in the fact that I am cognizant of my own surroundings, making intelligent decisions based on reality, not being uduly influenced or persuaded by pipe dreams, myths, or fables. "These areas of knowledge are not scientific in nature and therefor cannot be 'proven' in this manner." Nor can they be proven in any other manner.
