051 EU Meetup September 30th, 2018
We’re happy to welcome a special guest today: Ema Kurent
(DFAstrolS, QHP, CMA, ISAR CAP) from Ljubljana, Slovenia, has been professional astrologer since 1989, consulting, teaching, writing and researching. She specializes in traditional astrology. She is the head of the ISAR affiliated Astrological Academy Stella. Her articles have appeared in journals worldwide. She has spoken at conferences in Slovenia, Serbia, England, India, Poland, South Africa and USA, and held workshops, mainly on the use of eclipses and declinations in personal forecasting and on horary astrology.
Her book Horarna Astrologija was published in 2015.

THE DEVASTATING POWER OF COMETS
Ema Kurent
“I came in with Halley’s Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don’t go out with Halley’s Comet. The Almighty has said, no doubt: Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together.” (Mark Twain)
A romantic view of life and death, or a spark of a genius mind? Incidentally, Mark Twain died on April 21, 1910, the day following the comet’s subsequent return. And as “freakish” as it may seem, my research suggests that his birth and death were indeed powerfully related to Halley’s Comet. Not because the years of both incidents coincided with the appearance of the comet, but because the places of his birth and death were aligned with some strong ACG lines at the crucial points in the comet’s orbit. But for the reader to understand the rest, I must first introduce my technique.
Before proceeding, let me say that I have always sensed that comets, like planets and fixed stars and asteroids and so on, surely must influence life on our planet. But how, when and where would those influences become apparent? Those questions remained unanswered, until I let my mind find the proper way of research, the right technique or “modus operandi”, so to speak.
Since then, I have spent hours and hours calculating the various comets’ positions at the crucial points in their orbit and relating them to events on our planet. My research on the comets’ influence upon Earth has been mind-boggling, to say the least. My findings suggest that comets “cause” (or are synchronized to) an incredible high number of natural disasters and man-caused accidents. They are probably related to happy events as well, but much more research need be done before any definitive conclusions are reached. At then present point of my “travel” on the comets’ highway, I only stare at the incredible possibilities of research and discovery that the study of the comets has to offer. This research is not of a philosophic nature, but is based on astronomical facts. These facts, combined with the astrological theory of how certain planets affect life on Earth, offer a meeting ground of both sciences for which the present age may be just ripe. Indeed, if the academic world would humbly take time and allow consideration for the planetary influences which have been so thoroughly researched by the astrological community, a huge leap in both sciences would immediately take place.
But for this to happen, the scientific community would first have to allow for the fact that if comets’ (as well as planetary) influence is to be researched and evaluated, they would have to stop observing the planets (and other bodies, including comets) just as some distant objects in the sky. They would have to acknowledge that the Earth can receive and respond to their passages through the sky only when the Earth-related celestial planes and planetary (comets’) orbits meet.

Materialism and consciousness
At the very core of mainstream science is the assumption that the universe is entirely materialistic. Consciousness emerges as a function of the electrial activity of a brain, when a brain evolves to a sufficient level of complexity. There is no meaning or purpose to life, apart from the imaginings of humans and their religions – there is only the more or less random evolution of material configurations. Richard Dawkins is the most vocal and prolific expounder of this materialist perspective, a perspective that mainstream scientists subscribe to without ever thinking to question it.
There is another model of consciousness that says consciousness is not embodied in the brain. Rather our minds exist apart from our brains, and outside the domain of physics. The function of the brain, in this model, is to serve as a kind of interface module, enabling the mind to interact with the five senses and the body. This we can call the metaphysical model of consciousness.
Evidence for the metaphysical model comes in the form of ‘unexplainable’ experiences. An unconscious patient, registering no electrical brain activity at all during a critical operation, reports later that he observed the operation from the ceiling, and is able to describe specific things that happened during the operation. Or someone has a near-death experience, and reports certain kinds of experiences that have also been reported in other near-death cases.
