Modern Physics and Eastern Mysticism

 by  Kate James Romania has declared witchcraft legal as a profession. Things have come a long way for the practice since the days that witches were burned at the stake for practicing the profession. However, some who practice witchcraft are not happy about the change. Why are people upset that Romania declared witchcraft legal? Apparently people who perform witchcraft services will now have to pay taxes. The government is actually cracking down on tax evasion, and witchcraft is joined by astrology, embalming, valet parking and driving instructors as new groups that must pay taxes. It is not surprising that governments are looking for ways the increase revenue during the poor economy, and declaring certain jobs legal professions seems to be a good way to collect more money. The legalization of witchcraft has been hotly debated in the region, and many witches have protested. Since Romania declared witchcraft legal, one witch named Bratara has plans to retaliate using black p...

By Antonia ffoulkes-Shippy, Yahoo! Contributor Network It is a respectable estimate that zodiacs are found in 80% of medieval churches. This may surprise modern Christians warned against what the Catholic Church calls the "new paganism." The trouble is that  even churchmen of old, dedicated to stamping out heathen custom, could not deny the presence of stars and planets and the more scientifically suspect idea of their influencing the motions of animals, vegetables, and minerals. The old adage "God rules the stars; the stars rule man." supported the idea that God alone had the final word when it came to celestial influence though such influence did exist. The other factor in the puzzle of Christian use of zodiacs is that to people living without the organizing guidance of clocks and calendars, zodiacs imposed a system of organized time. Not only were months and days assigned to planetary ruers but the regular slices of time we call hours. Hence the "horosc...

Mumbai city-based NGO, Janhit Manch, had started a debate on  the issue " Is astrology a science or an art of making money " in the Bombay high court on March 2010. A public interest litigation (PIL) filed by the manch and its convener Bhagwanji Raiyani, along with his associate Dattaram Kumkar, has questioned the validity of predictions by well-known astrologers, including Bejan Daruwalla, and unknown babas like Brahmarshi Shri Kumar Swami. The PIL urged the authorities to ban articles, advertisements, episodes and practices promoting astrology and its related subjects like vastu, reiki, feng shui, tarot, palmistry, zodiac signs and rashifal. Now on 28 April 2010, Astrology is a “4,000-year old time-tested science” and banning it is unjustifiable, Central government said in its affidavit that was filed in the Bombay High Court. Advait Sethna, advocate for the central government, argued the Supreme Court had accepted astrology was a science and many universities included ...

DALLAS (Reuters Life!) - Although most Americans are Christian and many are devout it hasn't stopped some members of the flock from believing in astrology, reincarnation or the ability of trees to trap spiritual energy. A poll by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life shows a surprising number of U.S. adults claim to have had supernatural experiences such as ghost sightings or hold beliefs associated with the New Age movement or Eastern religions. And some of them claim allegiance to more traditional faiths such as Catholicism or evangelical Protestantism. "American religious folks hold a variety of views and there is overlap among their beliefs and practices. Many do not fit into simple boxes," said Pew researcher Alan Cooperman. The poll released on Wednesday showed that three-in-ten Americans say they have felt in touch with a dead person and 18 percent say they have seen or been in the presence of a ghost. Other Pew surveys have shown that relatively few Ame...
