We, at Cosmic Technologies (CosmiTec),...
On this page, you can find some information about this web site and about Cosmic Technologies (CosmiTec): how it all started, who we are and much more... Cosmic Technologies (CosmiTec) We, at Cosmic Technologies (CosmiTec), ...well,....uhhh, it's to say,.... in fact,.... it's just that it's not we but me, Luc De Jaeger, at Cosmic Technologies (CosmiTec). It's me, your webmaster, astrologer, astrocoach and advisor and astrological researcher (and a lot more)...
Cosmic Technologies wants to broaden your outlook and consciousness. It's also about tomorrow's unique and groundbreaking technologies and technologies that are far more powerful than human technologies. Astrology is one of these supreme technologies. But every 'energy' and technology that causes or promotes health, wellness, happiness is also part of it... It's about Oenetic Sciences and Cymatics.
About me  My passion for astrology started in childhood - there was no specific reason for it - it just happened to be my passion...
Not that I 'believed' in astrology, I just was magnetically attracted to it... Of course, during the years my understanding of astrology evolved and my insight grew as I, too, grew older - ...and wiser ;-) The more techniques I learned from schools all over the world (in Dutch, German, French or English), the more my (initial) reserve and skepticism re astrology shrunk away. With the benefit of hindsight I can tell that there is a lot of rubbish and nonsense in astrology, but the real essence of astrology is about cycles, life cycles, planetary pictures, geometrical patterns and archetypes (compare this with the DNA-structure and snowflakes: they all look the same, but their crystalline structure is different AND geometrical). Astrology is about reading a clock with more than 10 hands (the planets and points) -- and every hand has its own speed, cycle and meaning. No doubt human brains (and linear thinking) cannot cope with such complex patterns, making astrology difficult to understand, difficult 'to prove'... and far A LOT easier to 'disapprove'... Due to some life experiences I also became more interested in other occult topics (palmistry, fortune-telling by cards etc.). When I was about 20 years old, I went to an occult and fortune-telling (trade) fair. It was an exposition of fortune-tellers by cards, clairvoyants etc. who were giving (paid and free) consultations the whole day long. I went to this trade just for fun and out of curiosity. I couldn't resist consulting a fortune-teller by cards. As there were many of them, I chose a lady who did free consultations because I didn't want to spend money on something that seemed quackery to me. However, this consultation became a most shocking experience to me. That lady gave an overview of my whole life, starting from childhood till "death". She only mentioned real life events without psycho blah blah. It was not a "psychological" reading as I expected. She predicted childhood events that really happened and that nobody in the whole world could ever know... I was stuck by her reading. She went on and on. It was weird. However, from that moment on I started to visit other fortune-tellers by cards to know more about these predictions and their opinions/predictions. I think I went to some 40-50 other people and wrote down their predictions very carefully. It were 40-50 totally different readings, most of them "psychological" ones and often most contradictory too. I had the impression that it was quackery indeed. However, looking back on the predictions and forecasts, I can tell that the reading of that lady, my very first consultation and encounter with fortune-telling by cards, is still the only reading that was extremely accurate and hit the nail in a mind-boggling way. As of today, almost everything she predicted came out. The other readings were mere quackery, indeed... It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From this very own experience I know that, aside from astrology, fortune-telling by cards CAN be a MOST accurate tool in forecasting real life events in the future, ON CONDITION that you consult an experienced fortune-teller. They are really very hard to find though!! I'm still not sure how one can separate chaff from wheat and perhaps only one's own experience can tell. Click here, if you want to know something more about fortune-telling by Tarot cards. Anyway, now you will understand why I'm not going to say anymore that fortune-telling by cards -- as such -- is quackery! That's why I think the other occult "sciences" can be a valid aid if practiced by reputable and highly experienced people.
For the time being, I have a most busy fulltime job as a nominated Jurist at a municipal administration in a big European city and it's a pity I cannot spend more time to astrology and astrological research. But, my life is not all about astrology... I have some other passions too: photography, graphology, homoeopathy and Information Technology (ICT). In fact, when the personal computer became a real 'personal' computer in the 80's I started programming my own programs on a Sinclair ZX81 and, some years later, on a Sinclair ZX Spectrum. My programs were published in the English Magazine "ZX Computing":
Another passion is drawing cartoons. When I upgraded from a Sinclair Spectrum to an Atari 260ST (Atari was re-inventing the MAC PC with a mouse then), I started to design my cartoons by computer (the Atari was in fact a cheaper version of the well-known Mac's). My cartoons became more publically noticed when I still was a law student. Due to my studies, my passion for astrology, interest in ICT AND an enormous lack of time, I could not continue with this. Indeed, combining law studies, astrology, programming and drawing cartoons was too much of a good thing... I dropped the cartoons and programming for a while. But instead my astrological knowledge grew.
 I have been a correspondent for the 'Internationales Horoskope Lexikon', a bilingual English-German scientific publication of the Institute for Astroenergetic Studies (IAS), Ireland, and have written an article for The Mountain Astrologer (TMA) that was published in the free Urania supplement of the June/July 1990 Issue under the name 'Classifying aspects'. I'm really proud to have witnessed how this magazine grew and expanded.
Between brackets: The Mountain Astrologer (TMA) is now worldwide one of the best astrological magazines you can find! The content is high. Studying law was pleasant but not quite satisfactory. Even if I got my degree, I wanted to spend more time to all my real passions, though I could not earn my living with it. With the upcoming internet, a new world opened up. Aside from my full-time job as a Jurist I could try to live my passions.
However, I only received the 1998 edition, not the 2000 edition... So, I can't tell you if I am included in that edition. Moreover, when a member of the Board of Advisors tried to reach me ("that nominated Jurist"), at work and by phone, just during a moment of my absence (because I attended a meeting), a colleague - who did not speak English in a fluent way - told this member that she didn't know of any nominated Jurist... Needless to say that this kind of misunderstanding caused that I never heard anything again from that Board of Advisors. As to me, they must have struck me off their list...
Due to a lot of life-events, that I prefer not to disclose in public, I felt obliged to take another important decision: starting my own business accompanied by the building of a web site. But how?? I searched the internet and tried to inform me as much as possible. What about social security and taxes, how to build a web site....? How much would it all cost? Was Frontpage better than Dreamweaver,...? I had no knowledge of HTML... Then, I came upon Site Build It! (SBI!) delivering an all-in-one package of webbuilding without any previous knowledge of HTML, webhosting, submitting to the search engines, giving a lot of statistical informations, etc... I found their price rather high for my budget and looked further. But soon, I discovered that SBI! was in fact EXTREMELY inexpensive, compared with other solutions and packages. It really was what I was looking for.... Click here to compare Site Build It! with its competitors. I wanted to give it a try and bought Site Build It! (SBI!) .
I was all astonishment when I encovered the SBI! Manager, this huge database, the way it worked and in which I could find the right keywords for building a successful web site (so the advertisements told me...). When I bought SBI! I could not imagine how this all looked like. But in reality, it's most amazing. Ingenious. The brainstorm module is just incredible. This all had one 'disadvantage', though: I had to RE-think EVERYTHING: all that I previously had in my mind about building my web site, I had to let it go. I had the wrong concept in my head, the wrong ideas. I needed more than a month brainstorming and letting new ideas pop-up, changing everything and starting all over! If I didn't have Site Build It! (SBI!)
I'm not sure if I was on the Net now.... Because of my full-time job I could not get this web site ready in a short time. It was going to be a long (and winding?) road. But doesn't the manual (Make Your Content PREsell (MYCPS!)) say that patience is a virtue and that you WILL need A LOT of patience to get results....... But it became clear to me too that, if one is not going for one's passion, one will not succeed. Never. Building a web site on your own still is a huge work, especially if you have not much spare time! Take your time to plan everything carefully! SBI! contains some templates that you can use, but I wanted something more individualized, so I preferred to design my own layout, logo etc... with my own drawing software. This was more time-consuming and as I could not afford the cost of a new webeditor (like Dreamweaver etc...) I decided to start with some simple HTML-tags in the text blocks too. Guess what? Day after day, I got more and more interested in HTML (really!), because I wanted to put my own heart and soul in my web site and try some things differently from the templates. It's funny how you see things grow and evolve by trying some HTML-tags and codes. Though building a web site with SBI! is easier than I expected, it was not all plain sailing. So, it happened that I lost 1 full week(!!) by trying to upload my own designed .jpg topimage. I always got an error code and after much trial-and-error it occured to me that I tried to upload the file with the jpg-extension in capitals .JPG, which SBI! didn't understand.... The more I got used to write my own HTML, the lesser I used the text blocks/links, and the more tags and stuff (tables, links,...) I incorporated in the text blocks. This goes faster and with copy-paste instructions from any text-editor to the text blocks, this works wonders. In the future I hope to design another template myself and buy Frontpage or another HTML-editor to change the look of my site into something more appealing and business-like. Just click here for a fast step-by-step demo of how SBI! works. They also offer a whole lot of valuable and totally FREE e-books that you can download: I owe SBI! a lot and I'm very happy with their marvellous product(s), without which I would never have this site. Don't forget that as of today I have around 1,200 unique visitors DAILY. Not bad for a beginner, hey?!SBI! also launched Search It!, a most strong and ingenious Mega Search Tool to help you start a business (brainstorming and competitive research, domain naming, even legalities), add new ideas to an existing business (research keywords and sites to the nth degree, find new information and resources that you didn't even know existed, probe your competition, etc...). Just stunning. In the mean time I'm very slowly but steadily building two other web sites too, one about Astrology Forecasts and another one about Oenetic Sciences and Cymatics, the relationship between the Inner Cosmos (the brain, mind, spirit) and the Outer Cosmos (the material world) and the way we can expand the human possibilities and consciousness. On average, our site is updated once a week. We only list our most important updates and milestones here. All (small or big) updates will be featured in detail in our monthly Love Letter (Newsletter). So, what's new?
Our site was especially selected to feature as the Astrologywizard recommended Site of the Week, starting December 2, 2003 at Paul Wade's Web site Astrologywizard. You can read the review by clicking here. We also received a graphic award in recognition of our achievement and of our contribution to astrology's development on the Web (december 2, 2003)

I was also selected for Inclusion in the 2000 edition of the International WHO'S WHO of Professional Management™ (Ericson Publishing, Inc./Gibralter Publishing Inc.).
Because of my busy full-time job I had to study the user guide and try out all the tools (SBI! Manager and Brainstorm module) in my spare time.
