Let the Good Times Roll

[Guest guest]

Note: Hello friends, I just want to say: I do not write to be "right" or

to get public approval, or any particular persons friendship. I really

do it because I enjoy knowing that I've shared what I know with others.

I feel that probably there are others who will like it and benefit, and

I know there are many who are above these conceptions both

astrologically, as well as spiritually/emotionally.

 

I mean that: I know some of you have greater attainments than myself in

areas of emotional and spiritual growth, and other areas of life.

 

I do not think that I am a great person. I do not think that. I think I

am gifted more than some, but that's just karma, and I'm not real

impressed with myself for that. I'm not impressed with myself much at

all. Those who think I am, are dead wrong. I am not in control of what

others say about me. It does not mean I personally believe it.

 

I can honestly say, that few people know me, perhaps none real well yet.

 

Lastly, I feel that I am being a good chap to sacrifice in this way, by

revealing myself so openly. I've done it alot. It's been a bit

controversial. I've received positive and negative feedback both in

large amount and with both, alot of power behind the urgings to either

stop or go on. So I end up on my own, with really good people on both

sides, like the Battle of Kurukshetra.

 

But I feel I'm being a sacrificer to do this. I like being a show off

too. I like performing. I'm a show person, musician, etc. But my show,

is bitter truth and spirituality. I'm not saying I'm good at it, it's my

show. It's this way for others. I'm not the only one. I love the subject

matter, and I'm a thinker, with a big needy heart, and a showman, and I

really believe passionately in Divinity, and in these subjects, like

Jyotish. So you put it all together, and you end up with my stuff.

 

But remember, through all that, I am just, inside myself, thinking that

I'm nobody special, but I like God, have a business, love it, part of it

is writing spicey thought provoking articles. I may not be where I seem

to be, the events I depict may or may not be true. I do not claim

anything. It's just written, and you read it, and don't think you know

me from it, and don't think it's me... I am "a writer" in some senses.

It's also an art, a hobby, a passtime, and a tempting mind manipulation

tool, with which I can know that I am going inside your head and telling

you something I want to say, or make you think about something I want to

make you think about. So it's a tool for mind control, writing.

 

Why would you want to say something to another mind, or for a moment,

take it over with pictures and messages?

 

Well, different people have different motivations. Mine is clear to me.

You can believe me or not.

 

I want you to be really really happy. And me too.

 

That's about it. That's where I'm at.

 

I've chosen certain things as true, and am doing my best, the showman,

speaking what he's found to be true, in as interesting of ways as

possible, hopefully as a service, and hopefully have a good life doing

it, and hopefully you liked this article, which hopefully wasn't a total

bummer to read, and hopefully, you'll let me go now, with good wishes

for me, which is to wish for nothing, because everything,

 

is already perfect.

 

 

 

 

 

Hello, welcome back to Radio Ram, it's time for the Jyotish Jam.

 

Today's quickee: Ding door. It's my Landlord, out of the blue, on June

4th, standing in my door. Hello Lee, I say, and he hands me my 30 day

notice and says "I need my house back, I wanna move back in". So I'm

like "OK, no problem". He says, "Since it's June 4th, you have to vacate

by July 4th, 30 day notice OK?"

 

So I say "yeah, sure, no problem".

 

So yes, I do need to move now, which is do-able. Hey, give me more work

Krishna, I can handle it.

 

So I look at the planets, sure enough, on July 4th Jupiter, my best

planet, moves into my 4th house, it's sign of exaltation.

 

That sounds good eh?

 

Another coincidence? No way. It takes 12 years for Jupiter to be there

at that point, which happens to be the exact start of my "house of real

estate", Cancer is my fourth house. It's no coincidence AT ALL that my

Landlord, who is clueless about where the planets are, is inspired by

nature, by gravity, to force me to move, on such a day. It is the

planets, showing that they are under the same forces that I am under,

and therefore, as above, so below.

 

The house (home I lived in) before this one I'm in now, when I signed

the papers to rent it, which I did NOT pick a Muhurtha for, when I went

home, and looked, because I noted the moment of signing, it just so

happened that my Moon position was rising exactly, and my Moon is my 4th

Lord, or the lord of "homes and houses" in my chart. So my significator

of real estate, my moon, was exactly rising, or 12 degrees of Aquarius

was rising, when I signed the papers, without picking a Muhurtha at all.

 

AND, the moon was in the 4th house in transit, in it's own sign. That

was the most beautiful and stately, and expensive, home I ever rented.

 

So, ever time I do something major, afterwards, I look at the transits

and I usually find the ascendent is transiting the correct house or planet.

 

Talked to an awesome person on the phone recently. An extremely smart

guy. It was very healing for me. Also found some other people around the

country who I befriended and they opened my mind to new views, which

helped alot.

 

We have our own stories, our own dramas, meanwhile, the universe is

functioning absolutely perfectly, so it's in us, the problems. Desire

verse reality, surrender verse aversion.

 

Oh yeah, the chap I talked to on the phone, we just like, hit it off

imeediately, so similar in thinking, so similar in general. It's great.

I found a real friend. We cross polinate each other's thinking, and we

think so similar, the conversation flies.

 

So what's up?

 

His Jupiter, in a trine like mine, in a fire sign like mine, exactly

aspects my lagna. My Jupiter, aspects his exactly.

 

My first Lord, is exactly on his Moon. He has Moon with Rahu, I with Ketu.

 

We have the same rising sign.

 

Is it an accident? He picked up on the vibration looking at my website.

I picked up on his vibration as soon as he spoke, and when I saw his

picture, it's like an old friend. The planets put us together, because

the vibrations jiggle us to the same point on the Samsaric ocean. Or to

put it in the more religious greater sense, the same divine forces that

cause the orbits, are also working on me, so by reading one, you can

know the other. And it works!

 

I put an ad in the paper in Eugene a couple years back for this class on

Jyotish right? I had this class OK?

 

So some people came. One lady, when she saw the ad, which had my picture

in it, she said to herself spontaneously "I know that guy", even though

she didn't. When we met, we hit it off very easily and naturally, like

sister brother.

 

Same thing in the charts, cross polination sortof of the same good

planets, complimentary rising, etc. Same sorts of things.

 

Whereas, in that class, and I did all their charts, the people with

charts inimical to mine, we didn't mix at all. It wasn't that we didn't

want to, we just didn't, because we were too dissimilar and we could

feel it, and in fact, you just aren't friends with everyone. Even if you

want to be friends with someone you think is cool and would be nice to

know, there's no guarantee they will like your vibrations and movements,

smell, thoughts, speaking, etc.

 

I met a girl on the internet. The picture looked ok, the specs, the

email, all fine. When we talked, her voice was very unusual to me. It

was OK, but the point is, each subtle portion and part of a person

interacts with our minds and other body parts on various levels. There

must be compatible waves, or there will be defense, depletion, tension,

and ultimately destruction of various things, usually the people themselves.

 

Compatibility is best between people who share the same elements

strongly on the key planets. Elements are important because they set up

mood. The mood of a fire person, is so different from say Earth. It's

hard for them to get along. It's good to have the same elements, in my

opinion, because it means their daily habits are more likely to align

and be comfortable to each other. The nature of a fire persons jittery

and impatient habits, will drive a solemn and slow Earth person crazy,

and vice versa.

 

Thinkers, are not happy around Earth persons ultimately, so Air and

Earth is difficult. Eart and Water is in my mind more compatible, but I

may be wrong. Fire and Air somewhat, they at least interact to increase

fire in general. Fire is surviving. Fire survives, fights for life, so

it gets alot of applause in society in general, ie, sports stars, rock

stars, killing movies, bullets, guns, war, CNN, etc., everybody is

amazed by fireworks.

 

Water adjusts, so it's not as fantastic, more humble, so gets less

notice. Earth does not do much in an amazing way, so same thing- less

attention. Air is above, and can look down, and fire is fire. They get

more attention. They have more latitude, they are both higher than earth

and water in latitude, which are settled, and lower down.

 

So don't fight it. If you want to be happy and have peace, hang around

people who don't mess up your doshas or bodily makeup natures. It's too

stressful.

 

So it's true there are no events which are not in unison with all other

elements, nothing operating independently, rather, everything operating

interdependently to the absolute 100%.

 

Therefore, karma is simply the waves and eddies you stir around

yourself. It's just like saying, you'll arrive at the destination you're

walking to, and, your boomerangs will come back to you, not me. It's so

easy to understand actually. We are all paintbrushes walking in paint

mud, and we're painting the picture with our movement, which we feel our

our's, but obviously are one with a greater, so there's a duality in

reality, unless you can accept that as a witness alone, you are tripping

on the unfoldment of all around you, and identifying wrongly.

 

To reverse that means to see it's all a matrix of interactivity,

preprogrammed material nature, and become a well wishing witness,

meaning, wish nothing for yourself or anyone else. That's well wishing.

Wishing is a lie. Wishing is in vain. So well wishing means, to not wish

at all.

 

Instead, we spread acceptance and surrender, alignment, yoga, linking,

cooperating, learning the lesson, seeing the whole as our teacher,

seeing the lesson in what happens around us, not being attached because

we know that is futile, serving the impersonal one whole God by leaving

the world of duality, or serving the personal one Supreme God by

devotion to His and Her pleasure in all things as you so called move

about in material nature.

 

So Bhakti, by it's nature and definition, is a gift from God. Because,

if you can do it, then it was allowed for you, since all is under the

nature of this place, ie, the flow, which implies due to our limited

duration and size, "predeterminism", said in another way, we just always

have to shut up and get in line and be patient. That's it. That's the truth.

 

So Bhakti, or anything, is a gift. You can only be a devotee, if nature

allows you to be a devotee, just like anything else, just like

everything else, it is not different. That's why we can see these things

in charts, as well as everything else. It's no different. That is why

Parasara had sex with the Boatwoman at a funny moment, because it was

the RIGHT KARMIC UNIVERAL MOMENT for Vyasadeva to be impregnated into

his mother person. So Parasara Muni grabbed the nearest woman and made

her pregnant with his semen. Then he undid the penetration by magical

intervention of his abilities, and Vyas was born, and on the story goes.

 

The point is, scripture is FULL of proof of my point. NOBODY is above

the law placed by God. Nobody. Not even Brahma, the greatest in this

realm. Certainly NO HUMAN we see. Certainly NO LOWER GOD of all the

world religions. ONLY the SUPREME claims to be Supreme, in every

religion, and only the Supreme is Supreme.

 

And ALL THINGS that take place here therefore, are in the one, in

Jyotish, in the light, a part of the dance of the light and Shabda

Brahma or divine sound that is at the root of this place, the breath of

God, the desire of God for our creation. Nothing is above this. No ring

can change it. No gem is outside it, therefore the time, quality, price,

and everything about any gem is a preprogrammed part of your karma as well.

 

At least the astrologers should know this truth emphatically and

clearly. Do not be afraid of having the duality of reality live in your

head. It will not crack open. I can attest to this. Relax.

 

There is both. Full Predeterminism, and Free Will. Both. It's not a

matter of sharing.

 

This is because Free Will is a PERCEPTION that is intended and GOOD and

created by God. In scripture and Hinduism therefore it is known as Maha

Maya, or the illusion of this place, the main illusion, which is that we

are these bodies, and that we are the enjoyers of the fruits of our

works and senses. Both of these ideas are false, and so, it is called

"Maha Maya", which means, "Great Illusion", because it makes a person be

in illusion their entire lives usually. That's what make's it a "Great"

illusion. It's REALLY powerful over us.

 

By believing in this way, that you are free, that you are choosing for

your body which is yours, which you are driving down the street, which

you are dressing, which you own, is yours, which decides things FOR

ITSELF and is therefor creating it's own reality by itself...

 

By believing that way, you take responsibility, and learn from your

mistakes. These emotional impressions build up over time, completing you

as a whole being. When you are near full, you begin to see the entire

story, to prepare for exiting. Do not be afraid of this area. There is

no force. It's open, you can even go back, but who wants to?

 

But when one enters the higher planes, I believe, one sees that all is

in God alone, and that there is only God, but within God, there is this

diversity, so there is dualism, and non-dualism, both, just depending on

what you want to focus on.

 

Ultimately, the Vaisnavas point is that, if you are going to completely

die into impersonalistic reality, which is true, the oneness side of

God, the all is one, where you dissapear as a separated being, then

since this is like suicide, why not instead do the same thing, but by

not caring that you have become a complete and total piece of property

for Krishna?

 

Since you're willing to die, why not die and live?

 

That's the personalistic approach to Hinduism. At least that's what I

was taught. It's positive spiritual evolution, rather than negation alone.

 

That's one of the Vaisnava's idea's I heard from them, but I'm not a

Vaisnava. Not qualified. Simply not. We all can't have everything.

 

You know, as a rule, Catholics don't really believe in Astrology,

because it too much goes against their paradigm. This is well known.

 

So I don't know if others see it like I do, but I just find it total

proof of astrology, simply that so many of them are having sex.

 

Poof. No other words required.

 

Why?

 

Because it simply proves a salient and root point.

 

Despite our best hopes, wishes, dreams, desires, egos, lies, evasions,

cover ups, and so on...

 

They still just HAD TO STICK IT IN.....

 

and not only that...

 

 

but now EVERYBODY KNOWS IT

 

 

 

So they were SO NOT THE CONTROLLERS

 

 

AND

 

 

THEIR RELIGION DIDN"T HELP THEM

 

 

 

So this proves that their religion is false, because what they vowed to

not do before their God in good faith, they did anyway, and yet, they

say that they are the masters of their lives, that they can choose?

 

Their answer is "Satan Tempted Me". Since we can't see Satan, what us

realists believe from this statement is that the priest was thinking

about sex. That's for sure.

 

So his mind slipped out of his control. His earlier vows became lies as

lust overtook his mind, which arose from within him, not from Satan,

that's placing blame elsewhere. It's in his head, because he has a

penis, and has testosterone telling him to mate, just like every other

man feels. They are no different.

 

The only way to overcome this is to not think about it. That's why in

some Vedic areas, the celibates do NOT see woman EVER. It is carefully

kept so. The saying is "Out of sight, is out of Mind". Keep things out

of sight which you don't want to dwell upon, and that is one part of

Brahmacari Sadhana, the renunciation, for just some years, of talking to

girls, thinking of girls, etc.

 

So, the priest's mind slipped. That's what really happened.

 

Then he dwelled on it. That must have happened. Then he acted on it.

That must have happened too. Then it was discovered, and now we're

talking about it.

 

So it all started with a thought in his head, which his vows, and

earlier hopes of being Jesus Himself could not stop. Maya, the illusion,

was stronger than his religion, his faith, his devotion. She is strong.

If you deny her at all, she will come and reveal herself to you as pain

in some way.

 

Only when we recognize all of reality, which includes recognizing the

control maya has over us, then we will have to suffer. We cannot even

control our minds, so how can we think we can control something outside

our bodies.

 

If you say that you have free will, and are in some way helping God

manifest reality by your choices, and by how you build houses, make

churches, have babies, whatever... if you think you are the doer, then

you are not recognizing what actually happens in the above scenario.

 

And such a scenario is going on inside all of us everyday, whether with

dieting, or talking too much, or excercising, or sleeping or relating

wrong, or whatever, we're all struggling with things about OURSELVES

which we DO NOT LIKE and which will NOT GO AWAY despite how much we hate

them, pay for them to go, wish they would go, pray that they would go,

work on making them go....

 

The cancer instead, just moves forward slowly, and ultimately wins. The

Cancer of reality, that is.

 

So when they say that they don't believe in astrology, they are saying:

 

1. The as above so below principle is false. This means they deny

physics. That will get them nowhere. That will kill the religion even

more. Which is fine with me.

 

2. That astrology does not work: They're obviously wrong there. Just

burying their heads, they want to remain ignorant.

 

3. That astrology is not good for religious people: This snobbery is

implied in their avoiding it, since Priests are the icons of religion in

human form, they are saying, that whatever they choose, is religion. In

fact, did you know, that when being consecrated as priests, one of the

"powers" they are given is to marry and so on... right? They believe

that "what they make on earth is made in heaven". That is stated as

partof the faith, and comes from the Vision Peter and other of the

apostles supposedly had of Christ, telling them to build a Church etc...

 

So there's this conception that priests can actually bless articles, and

thereafter they have some holiness upon them somehow. And that God

agrees with what they do, or what they do is gods will, so that's why it

is also "sealed in heaven".

 

So, by saying they don't believe in astrology, with that kind of power

in their heads, they are trying to make a religious statement. It's not

like asking them what kind of music they like. No, hear, they are

condemning a science. They would just as well see all those books

burned. Ouch. It's true in so many cases. Scary.

 

But they're wrong again. I believe exactly counter. I think astrology,

Jyotish, done properly, creates religion, or spirituality and devotion

to the divine, in a person, very quickly and nicely. It's a great

vehicle and agent for spreading enlightenment.

 

I do not know where exactly the modern Catholic position on Astrology

came from.

 

I do know it's wrong.

 

 

And the fact that they are obviously acting out their karmas, to their

extreme humiliation, to me, is TOTAL PROOF that their opinion on

astrology needs a Papal Review... and a lesson in stopping denial.

 

I speak about these things not to find faults with persons over whom I'm

on better, and may be less qualified, still, I speak about these things,

for the greater good, which I believe is served when real astrology with

real spirituality is spread. That's what I'm sacrificing for. That's why

I rish apparently faultfind our Catholic Priest brothers in a

generalized way. I don't really live on that level. It's for the sake of

the impact of the point only. I do not hate, or faultfind. I love. I am

a hopeless lover. This is a service, and for the truth to be spoken, we

all have to make sacrifices. There are parts of what I write that offend

me. In other words, I don't always serve myself. Sometimes I say things

because I know they're true, which shame me, myself, because I'm not

living up to them. So the priests are not alone under the blame of my

keyboard. I'm there too!

 

Peace
