Why the label "Sabian"?
That's what Marc Edmond Jones chose to call them.
He didn't trademark the name most likely for the reason that he never thought that such a thing would be necessary.
But then again neither are such terms as the ''English Alphabet" or "Arabic Numerals'' and if I were, for an example, to start posting that the following is the "English Alphabet",
#%&*~/\, or, for another example, that the following are the "Arabic Numerals",
, would they then be just as valid?
But as to the truth of the matter, it has something to do with Marc's knowledge of a very ancient, and lost, culture that knew of these symbols but they were lost when that society vanished. I have spent a bit of time, when I have the chance, to further my own knowledge pertaining to this subject, but haven't gotten very far with it...mainly for the reason the internet has very little to offer on the subject...and I don't have that much time left to me to spend on the matter.
I could have done the research on the on the matter as to come to an understanding of as to who, what, where, when, and why Marc was involved in the study of but to be honest, as I know that these symbols are valid, and that they do work, that is all I really need to know. Just as I haven't studied the origins of language and philology etc. to feel confident enough to write, or speak, a sentence or two,...or to write a book or give an hour long speech, in the English language, as I know that people will understand what I have written or am saying. ...at least well enough to understand the gist of what I try to get across...as the subject of English and grammar where two subjects I hated in school.
But, I think that serves as an excellent example as for the reason I never studied astrology in the "Traditional" school of astrology...yet, I was able to produce the birth chart of Yeshu'a/Jesus without having done so...and I recognized it for what it is...and has a single astrologer so schooled in the "Traditional" school of astrology yet come forth and declared that they can see it too, for what it is, and why?
So, what does all that tell you?
There is someone presently alive on earth that has far greater potential to straighten out what all is wrong with "Traditional Astrology", perhaps someone that has thoroughly studied "Traditional Astrology"...who knows it all from A to Z. ...and I so truly pray that that "someone" does eventually come along, cause it ain't me.
You must trust me as for what I have presented and demonstrated that does work, and the same as to what doesn't work, up to this time. ...and be oh so wary of those that try to dissuade you.
It is possible that there is someone alive presently that knows everything there is to know about how astrology truly woks, knows the Sabian Symbols are verace and is capable of phenomenal results in utilizing it... but... where is that person, and if such a person is presently alive are they going to come and out themselves and reveal to everyone else their knowledge?
...My assumption is, that if so, they likely won't...because the world as it presently is ...is a desperate place and everyone is trying to get a leg up on everyone else. It is presently a "dog eat dog" world.
I share everything. I keep nothing for an advantage because I am a servant of God...and God would like to see that no one has such an advantage over anyone else.
