Guest guest Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Dear All, Today I recieved the following mail from a friend of mine (the same person asked a similar question after the Sep-11th event). This is very challanging for many God believers around the world and even more for the astrological community. Please read this short mail below and comment if you have anything of interest. My reply to him was simple: "I don't know - I have no answer to that as it is beyond me" Regards/Jay Weiss ===============Mail================== <jayhw (AT) telia (DOT) com> Tuesday, December 28, 2004 9:12 PM Over 60000 dead in Tsunami - all with the same horoscopic destiny ? Hi Jay, Didn't rest my mind since the September 11th disaster with regard to our "collective destiny" mail exchange, and now this horrible Tsunami in South-East Asia which took more than 60000 lives of people from different countries and nationalities; adults as children and babies alike. How can you or any of your astrologer friends explain this astrologically ? Did all those individuals have the same death sentence / destiny in their charts ? There is no way astrology can explain that just as there was no astrologer in the entire world who could predict and warn of such a disaster on December 26, which by the way suppose to be a Christian religious holiday. What does God (?) have to say to that ? Isn't it about time to discard all the astrological nonsense once and for all ? Can you produce a sound logical explanation this time ? I doubt it! I hope my harsh words will not affect our friendship. All the best R.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Dear Jay, Your friend has written something that affects me very much, and it is all the more powerful for having such a disaster backing it. However I do not believe that any such tragedy should be made into a case for suggesting that anyone's faith or practice must be given up, especially with demands for a logical explanation, that, as you have rightly pointed out, is far beyond us. Jyotish cannot be limited to logic, logic is just a form of its expression. I believe that such events are a call to go beyond sound logic, for that is the very last thing you would call upon when meeting such a disaster face to face, experiencing it first hand. Written with no ill intention, Respectfully, Michal.
