Origins

Introduction, Origins

A singular light burns in his glances when the great runic script lies before us and he stares into our eyes to see whether within us also has arisen the constellation which will make the figure of life-itself visible and comprehensible.

Novalis, Fragments, 1789

Portrait of Novalis by Franz Gareis, 1799

Here you are in the present moment standing at the portal of Celestics, poised to learn about it and how to apply it in your life. Fine, you’re good to go, but now fast forward to a possible moment in the future when you have learned the theory and technique of the system so that you can detect and interpret the source code, and verify how it works on the evidence of your life story, as well as by comparative data from the biographies of people of high achievement who lived before you were born. In short, you are savvy to how the Game of Life deals destiny and fate in the permutations of DNA, revealing the difference between WHO you are and WHAT you are. Which is what you ultimately learn by immersion in Celestics.

So, great, you’ve got all that down, your are confident with the method, and it happens one day that someone asks you, “Hey, what’s this stuff you’re into lately, taking up so much your time and attention? You seem quite passionate about this program or whatever it is… what do you call it, forensic astronomy? What is that exactly?” And you reply: “Oh, you mean Celestics.”

The long reply that you might give: “It is American-style rendering of the visionary program of 18th century German Romanticism upscaled to include the latest insights in the fields of neuropsychology and evolutionary biology and custom-designed for tracking epigenesis in human behavior with astronomical data displayed in the mythopoetic engrams of the Zodiacal constellations.”

The deep origins of Celestics go to ancient astronomy and divination of the skies in time before historical reckoning. Cave paintings, petroglyphs, megalithic temples aligned to the encircling heavens, Babylonian star atlases and cuneiform table of star longitudes — all that is the record of the oldest surviving hard evidence of this method. Fast forward to the rise of the Romantic Movement after 1750 and the rudiments of narrative theory come into definition. Come forward from there through all the schools of modern psychology — taking what works and leaving the rest — and finally it comes to definition,  the quintessence of the narrative critique of human experience, the art and method of forensic astronomy. That is the “great runic script”  of Novalis. Nothing more and nothing less.

The short reply is: “Celestics is a tool for rewriting your life-script to its optimal version of moral, intellectual, esthetic, and creative excellence. Technically, it’s the source code of human imagination.”  You might agree that even the short reply is pretty intense.

“The more poetic, the more true.”

The Seminal Concept

Elsewhere in the menu pages I have defined the prime algorithm and demonstrated how to us it to prompt  the manifold data. The generic form asset > constellation is actually an iteration of the seminal concept behind all schools of modern psychology. The research that supports this goes back to von Hartmann. Most of the trailblazing work came from Germans. Those who followed von Hartmann and others consistently used two German words, treve, “drive,” and urbild, “primordial image.”

So, the original version of the prime algorithm of Celestics source code is drive > archetype. It’s as simple as that.

Genomic

Concept for the theory…

To all newcomers, Celestics opens with the bold declaration that everyone has two lineages, two lines of inheritance. The first is a genetic inheritance, what you receive from blood-line ancestors through the encoding of chromosomes in nucleic DNA. This genetic blueprint is a variant and reworking of the DNA of your parental lineage. It derives from an extraction of 5% or less of the total content of the molecular entity of the species DNA, the human genome. Everything that you can learn about this inheritance — by investigating your genealogical family tree, for instance — tells you nothing about the remaining 95% of the genome you embody. In fact, experts routinely dismiss this remainder of code as “junk DNA,” having no relevance to your inherited traits, character, or behavior. It can be defined as the genomic component of DNA, contrasted to the genetic/genealogical component.
