StarCenter is a repository for the ideas of myself, Robert Tkoch --- the expression of a lifelong journey into wonderment, intelligence, and folly. Hopefully, the better part will be expressed here.
There are approximately three major sections of my thought:
1. Philosophy --- my preferred area. As I become more and more aware of the immensity and infinitude of the physical, mental, and spiritual cosmoses --- that we are sub-infantile thinkers in a virtually-unexplored thought-universe, and that our every here-and-now perception is actually an idea based upon an earlier idea, seen through the lens of an imaginary everyday reality --- I have learned that I know almost nothing. But I can at least point to more philosophical natures than my own, and perhaps you will be amazed by them too.
2. Astrology --- my interface with the world, and also my livelihood for over forty years. Since I have researched and discovered a lot of material in this field by myself, I feel that I can claim some expertise here, or at least that I have an interesting, self-made bubble to share.
3. Health and well-being, both physical and social --- a secondary focus, developed recently. I am a bit fascinated by the idea that our down-to-earth human life can be greatly improved by the practice of a dynamic balancing of all knowable factors, a sort of consciousness-judo on a wobbling skateboard while accomplishing anything under the Sun. I am just a beginner at this, but I can share some useful findings made by others.
I will not attempt to always keep everything ordered within the above three categories, for that is not how my brain works. But I thought that you might find it useful to notice these three classes of my thought as they appear and merge and disappear again, like various schools of brightly-colored fish darting around everywhere.
This site is in a state of change. It began in 1996 with astrology only, and is now beginning to melt into philosophy. I am not sure where it will go from here, but it is certain to reflect my own changing beliefs.
