I think we need to stop trying to break things into constituent parts and start looking at things holistically. Science and spirituality are not two halves of a hole, but an integral whole. You might as well try and up root a tree with no earth and keep all the roots intact.

I could make an argument, have actually, that ancient humans met aliens, and aliens tried to tell them about the alignment of interstellar events and how we are all one. Something got lost in the translation. Humans started practicing math to figure out the heavens. Energies and alignments influence flow. All ancients were practicing a version of a Cargo Cult.

NASA revealed in a scientific paper Super Space Highways. The landscape of spacetime is like a bed. Make up your bed, it's smooth. put some marbles on it, the marbles settle. Put a bowling ball on the bed, marbles will shift towards and away from the bowling ball based on the ripples in the fabric. This is happening in real time within the solar system as the planets move. Essentially corridors, or conduits, open up and objects shift. Theoretically, if you could predict one of these highways, you could get to Mars in a couple of hours, just like sliding down a hill on a snow board, with very littler energy out put.

If this is true inside the solar system, it is true for the galaxy. as above, so below. If objects have been seen moving with no energy added to it just because the landscape of spacetime changed, then you can bet energies can be increased or dampened. We know this is true, too, as evidence by gravitational lensing.

Maybe astrology took the influence too far into metaphysical. Maybe science strayed too far away from seeking truth because of they're afraid of woo. Just being afraid of woo is antiscience. Seriously, we have subconscious- so why aren't more scientist practicing dream recall given the number of inventions and discoveries from dreams? Why aren't more participating in Ouija Board sessions? why aren't more at least exploring, statistically synchronicity? There is woo enough to at least increase curiosity, and that has driven humans to do science more often than not. Science was born out of spiritualist wanting to measure the invisible.
