ZIP DOBYNS (Astrology) - Film Score Rundowns

If, however, you are a channel for the Infinite, you are an artesian well connected to the
Source where it flows through you and heals you in the process. You’re not depleted but
instead strengthened in the process of healing work. But it’s very important that you be
clear that that’s what you are doing, that it’s not you doing it. You are simply allowing
yourself to be a channel. That idea makes all the difference in the world.

…..You may be familiar with certain psychic phenomena in Tibet. It was one of
the traditions of Tibet that, in order to be accepted as a full yogi, you had to go out in the
sub-zero temperature in a frozen lake, break the ice, wet yourself and a sheet, put this wet
sheet around you in this freezing cold and dry it out with your body heat. And he had to
do that three times in a row. I talked with one man who saw a llama back in the upper
hills in China towards Tibet. This couldn’t speak English but he understood. The man
who talked to me was a naval officer and he was interested in these areas many years ago
in China. The llama was willing to demonstrate to him. So he went out into the middle of
a snow field, acres of snow hip-deep, dropped the blanket he only wore, and stood there
naked. Pretty soon the snow started to melt back away from him for several feet. We
can’t explain these things by physical explanations. We have to go beyond the material
world and material science and material theories to explain them…Such phenomena
cannot be explained by material science. So what do the materialists do about it, the ones
who only believe in physical phenomena? Of course they have to change the experience
because it doesn’t fit their theories. Rather than change their theories, they change the
experience and say it’s fraud, it’s coincidence, it’s an accident, it’s deception. You know,
they explain it away. Unfortunately, that is not a scientific attitude. The phenomena are
real, and to account for them we have to go beyond the premises of materialism. We have
to talk about the power of the mind: That mind can have power over the physical world
directly without intervening through the physical body and the physical senses.
So if psychic phenomena is a reality in the world, in some way or another it ought
to show astrologically. Astrology is a symbol system that portrays the world, that models
it, that corresponds to it in some way. I do not think astrology creates the order. It just
shows it. It’s like a clock that shows what time it is, but it doesn’t create time.
Personally I believe in reincarnation. I believe we create our own character in a
series of lives, and each time we come back where we fit to go on growing. So I think the
basic twelve sides of life are present in everyone but differently developed. Some people
come in with very strong talent in some area that they have worked on before. It’s not an
accident. It wasn’t a gift from God that “This one should have musical talent, and that
one should have psychic ability, and this other one should have mechanical skills.” I
think it’s something we worked for before and learned to do, and we come back to
develop it easily and quickly.
So what I am offering today is pure theory because we don’t have enough cases to
call it a scientific case for the phenomena. But I’m going to suggest some principles that
you can test as you collect charts of psychic ability, and particularly when you watch
periods when people are more psychic than usual. So not only do I like to collect charts
of people who have demonstrated unusual psychic ability but also I like to watch for the
periods in people’s lives when this is brought up into high focus and emphasized. I like
secondary progressions especially. I find them very useful for watching patterns at the
time when these phenomena occur.
