Guest guest Posted July 21, 2000 Report Share Posted July 21, 2000 In order for doing anything seriously, particularly something as deeply ingrained into our total experiencing of this reality as jyotish is, it has to be spiritually nourishing. Sometimes spirituality is confused with religion or something else as if it is separate from other life experiences. This need not be so. When a mother serves her child (out of love -- what else?) it is a spiritual phenomenon, though sometimes not experienced or realized as such. This does not mean that jyotishi needs to follow any rituals necessarily but merely to join and become one with the spirit of astrology. When planets and rashis and other factors do not remain external bodies or separate from ones total awareness, jyotish lights up the universe (within and without).

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2000 Report Share Posted July 22, 2000 Hello, I'm learning Jyotish, but feel it's best to have some deep spiritual experience also, and after my DSN course, im totally transformed. A lot's of good things happend with me and this will happend in the world also as we know. The course is one key that make it speed up i think. Following; you can read about the course. If it's not for you just delete this one please. This is from Art of Livings daily e-mail list.. Love Geir Ove Eide Dear Everyone, Nitin and crew perpared this write up on DSN - if you want to know what it is, read further! GURUJI'S NEW COURSE! DIVYA SAMAJ NIRMAN WHICH MEANS CREATING A DIVINE SOCIETY What is it? When one is full and brimming over with happiness one automatically wants to help others. When we experience something good, we want to give it to those we love. When we spread joy, we get more joy. Those around us feel closer, the whole group unites in connection and a great power is generated. The power of love is transforming. How does this happen? We connect with our inner wisdom, courage, purity and truth. We are given the opportunity to let go of fears, attachments and aversions. When this happens a vast freedom and deep trust dawns. Love, compassion, tenderness and humility arise in great thankfulness, and an awareness of Grace shines through the events of our daily lives. When this is experienced by a group of individuals, a bond of love and acceptance becomes the driving power to bring light. Lethargy, fear and anxiety give way to joy, energy and enthusiasm. This is the motivating drive behind true transformation in society. From this source the intention of action is supported. Our plans become focused and are accomplished with ease. Our intrinsic abilities blossom. Like a flock of birds migrating south in winter, we fall into our natural direction of life and radiate our inherent special gifts. In this way both society and the individual are enriched. THAT'S CREATING A DIVINE SOCIETY! What are the benefits for me? 1. One experiences the limitlessness of one's being not as a concept but as an experience. 2. Through our past experiences we tend to gather so many barriers, limitations, false conclusions about ourselves and the world which do not allow us to experience this limitlessness. In the DSN course, we get the opportunity of recognising and dissolving all these mental and emotional barriers. This sets us free to be. 3. Many people who have gone through the course report that they had never experienced such transformation in their lives before. Experiences of people who have done the course - - It's not very often when someone is giving you it's own heart, experience and knowledge about life! No many chances in life to be freer of yourself without hesitation and holding back. I love the course; its what I was looking for. There are no more struggles left in my life, no more disappointments about myself as well. Elena - I don't know what happened on that DSO course. I can't remember half of what happened. I was challenged, I was sick. There were times I wanted to walk away. But afterwards, and right now, I am happy, Very happy. I don't know how it happened, but it did. Matthew - My life is transformed. I am very happy. Events have not changed, but my attitude has changed. I feel grateful for the events. Sue - The course has raised my self-awareness and has lifted a lot of weight off my shoulders. I am eating a lot less and am focussed on helping others. Hiren - Physically I feel much better and lighter. Cravings have gone. Ila - It was a beautiful group atmosphere. For me, the course was about realising my barriers - it made me confront myself. Chris - It was the best course I have ever attended in my life. I have never felt so close and intimate with people in the group. I am going through a roller-coaster because I confront my past and that is tough. It was a course which everyone enjoyed. It broke so many fears. Misha - The course has expended my horizon and I feel so grateful and lucky for having had the chance to do the course. It made me realise that a;ll of us are the same deep inside and I feel a connection with everyone around me. Archana - I feel very happy, especially meeting people. During the course I was overwhelmed with love and gratitude. Bhavini - It has made me more aware of myself and the surroundings. It has given me a deep realisation that we are nothing and yet we are everything. Ajay - I am a student and after DSN I've had to do my coursework - somehow I didn't feel like I had to put in much effort since everything seemed to flow. I've got exams in 2 weeks and I am walking around in a stressed and gloomy atmosphere at the Uni with a big smile. Anusha - By doing the DSN course I felt very good - it is a great feeling. I don't have any words to say. I just want to tell you all to go and do it and have great feelings. Bharti - I experienced and realised a deeper part of my consciousness which I didn't know existed. I could sense the connection between my consciousness with everyone else's and came out with a tremendous sense of belongingness with everyone. It is so simple- we all are one. The course was the best gift I received in my life yet, which is immeasurable and indescribable. Rakesh - I have always believed that one's goal in life is to realise one's own true potential and certainly I believe the DSN course will have a profound impact in encouraging me to look deeper in the quest of my soul/inner light. Mehul - I am transformed. The circumstances/events remain the same, but my attitude has changed. What used to bring me down now appears like an opportunity, even a blessing to see myself more clearly. I get to see my buttons/attachments/judgements/desires/aversions/cravings and consciously let go or offer them. Life becomes a big game of energy - shifting, burning, dissipating, intensifying. And underneath or throughout it all there is this incredible stillness that roote me and connects me with everyone and everything. Awareness becomes so keen and sharp, yet expended and enveloping. I see myself in such a different way - I feel so much more open and softer as there is nothing to lose, and fear is falling off, and what comes to the forefront is a deep trust that I am loved, I am not alone, that all my needs are truly taken care of. I have become aware that my life is a gift to others. Each moment is an opportunity to contribute to those around me. And instead of this being a burden, it is the most amazing and liberating joy. And in doing so, I feel stronger and brighter and have even more to give. I see the beauty in just being available to the moment to be of service, letting that intention move me through the events. Life looks like a big set up for me to grow! I feel so grateful. Su DSN COURSE At the Ashram Saint-Mathieu-du-Parc AUGUST 10 TO 13, 2000 To all members of the Art of Living family GREAT NEWS!...
