Cosmic
Psychology.
The science of diagnosis whereby the
maladjustment of the individual to life can
be treated by correctional thinking. It does
not concern itself with prediction,
fortune-telling, life readings, or any other
form of appeal to curiosity, mystery or
superstition. It deals with reactions
developed in the individual by virtue of
growth and development during his first day
of life, through the law of adaptability to
cosmic ray frequencies then present in the
Earth's magnetic field; and with experiences
resulting from environmental stimulation of
a preconditioned pattern of emotional
reactions.
The
new school of Cosmic Psychologists
eliminates from its practice everything that
cannot be scientifically justified, applying
what remains to an analysis of the
psychological conditioning to which the
native during his first day of life adjusted
himself by the Law of Adaptability to
Environment; and the repetition of this
cycle on successive days with minor
variations, which variations ultimately
create new cycles. It discards the entire
system of symbolic Rulerships and Dignities,
as well as the Progressions; leaving only
the Sun, Moon, planets, and the Ascendant
and Midheaven, and their inter-relationships
and modifications by virtue of Sign and
House position and aspects; and the
Transits. These embody the three recognized
forces, Momentum, Gravitation and Radiation,
that condition and stimulate bodily growth
and functioning, and mental and spiritual
perception. The individual psychological
reaction pattern thus represents Effects
diagnosed from an identifiable pattern of
Causation. While the therapy administered by
the medical practitioner or the
endocrinologist is based on a diagnosis of
Effects and seldom attempts to reason
backward to Causes, the Cosmic psychologist
diagnoses from Causes, and reasons forward
to probable effects in an effort to
administer preventative therapy. Thus the
Cosmic Psychologist does not treat the
disease the patient has, but treats the
patient that has the disease. He is not
content to palliate, but seeks either to
prevent or cure, on the premise that health
is a product of right thinking, or as
Emerson puts it "A sick man is a rascal
being found out."
The
Cosmic Psychologists adhere to a code of
ethics modeled somewhat after that of
Hippocrates, the most revered of physicians
and the first Cosmic Psychologist: "I
will not give 'readings', 'tell fortunes',
or make predictions to satisfy the morbid
cravings of the curious, nor will I seek to
astound or mystify; but will give
consultations only to those who have a
problem regarding which they know they need
help and seek it; and instead of prophesying
a prognosis, I will endeavor to instill the
right thinking that will contribute to
avoiding or mitigating an unfavorable
condition which I see in operation,
interpreting such in terms of influences
rather than of events, and at all times
teaching a philosophy of Free Will and
emotional self-control that is the
antithesis of Fatalism and Predestination.
"I
will not give counsel contrived to assist
any person in working injury to or taking
unfair advantage of another.
"I
will never make an utterance or inference
that will reflect in any degree upon any
other practitioner; nor will I treat a
client of another practitioner, except as
called in consultation by such practitioner.
"I
will never relax in my efforts to add to my
knowledge of the science, to impart it to
such as I deem worthy to follow in my
footsteps, and to devote my efforts without
stint toward the improving of human
understandings and personal relationships,
and in rendering service to humanity and
society.
"And
may the Creator who placed the planets in
their orbits as His means of guiding the
Destinies of men, preserve and sustain me in
proportion to the fidelity with which I
exemplify the laws I am ordained to
teach."
