Guest guest Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 Dear Shad & All: What amazes me is that modern science may have discovered 'karma', for atoms, "for every action, there's an equal an opposite, re-action..." is a Physics law, now, but somehow they just haven't been able to make a case for finding this same law in Psychology, or human life. This is encouraging however, but I think Jyotish can go a long way at helping bringing out this deep principle of 'causality', for other areas of life, too. Mark K. "Shad" <waterpowers Sun, 26 Sep 2004 12:38:14 -0000 liberation from karma... -> Mark K. - Sep 26, 2004 Dear Mark, Well, life isn't fair, but God is : ) I can guarantee you the teachings of karma are real! And believe me, I am no blind believer. Rather a scientific thinker, even an inventor on the field of quantum physics - blind belief would be abstract for me. The Bhagvat Geeta in my eyes is one of the best books, with which one can study and understand the law of karma and its interaction with the soul. But most important is that you are able to apply and realize this knowledge in your life here and now. Realized knowledge about karma is true knowledge. We may theoretically and logically understand things, but we really know things only when we have tried it and realized it in our very lives. The teachings of the Bhagvat Geeta are no myth, poetry or whatsoever universities and scientists call it – the Geeta is the jewel of science! The Lord promises Arjuna: `o Arjuna, tell everyone that my devotee will never fall, he eternally is under my protection.' Once we take shelter in the protection of the Lord, He guides our lives. No demi-Gods, karma, planets can harm us as we are protected! If we honestly worship God, chant His names and try to follow His teachings, living our lives according to those, the Lord will remove our karma, which might harm us on our way to self-realization. In Vedanta and Siddhanta is says: `The soul, our true self, cannot be cut by weapons, burned by fire, moisten it with water or dried by wind.' Krishna on the battlefield spoke to Arjuna, who was afraid to lose his relatives, beloved family and friends in the war: BG 2.12 na tv evaham jatu nasam na tvam neme janadhipah na caiva na bhavisyamah sarve vayam atah param 'Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be.' The Vedas teach us that the law of karma is made out of dualities, which will never make us happy and that we should try to free ourselves from karma and perform transcendental activities, which do not cause karmic reactions. Acting in akarma. Good karma might bring lot of material luck, but where there is material luck there also is material suffering. These two are married, such as husband and wife, one cannot separate them. Where there is one of them, you will find the other one. The true happiness and luck are deep in us. The soul is eternal, ful of knowledge and bliss. We have to free our true self, the soul, from karma, than our real nature and happiness will shop up, without any dualities. And no karma, bad karmic planetary positions can affect, demigods or demons can hurt or harm us. So, dear Mark, you are right, if no we act properly, in transcendental manner to the benefit to our soul and our God, no one can really hurt us, and we are really free, and will never again experience suffering or misfortune. Because God Himself will protect us, as He promises in the Bhagvat Geeta. Kind regards, Shad Dear Shad: I agree with your words very much. I only want to add one thing. And that is, if it's true that karma or our consequences are what we're truely experiencing, then, not only does that help us,.... from not blaming others for our situations.... If karma is true, and all we experience is due to our own actions,... from somewhere in the past.... then,.... if karma is true,....then the other side to this coin,...is that no one stands in our way! This means that no one can really hurt us, and we are really free to right now, beginning a new action, which will be our next futures.... Sincerely, Mark Kincaid ~!

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 Dear Mark, and all, modern science rather occupies with symptoms than causes. Sciences bases on gross sensual perception, which is quiet limited, since our senses are conditioned. To give you a short example: in school you learned that vapor from boiling water is lighter than air and due to this rises up. They came to this conclusion by their sensual perception and logical thinking. And this is a relative truth, which is wrong. Now here a nice article from NASA and experiments in zero gravity which shows they were wrong... http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2001/ast07sep_2.htm Additional we must see that sensual perception is influenced by karma. Our karmic impressions in our psychological body 'color' our external sensual perception. Two people can look at the same woman, one can say she is beautiful and the other one will say she is an ugly wall-flower. What is the truth? Science does not accept the existence of the soul, as they only see the flesh, bones and DNA... approximately every seven years the scientific theories change and are re-newed. Jyotish in opposite sees the soul and spiritual and does not occupy with symptoms, but causes. Jyotish are the eyes of the vedas and true science, which will never change, as the speculations of so- called science do.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 Dear friend, One slight correction, if I may? It is generally scientists who say that there is no soul, etc. Science does not! Science only can say what has been examined and documented. It is a fine distinction. Like all other humans, scientists often say things that are beyond their domain of research. However, that must not be confused with what Science says or maintains! It is just like some jyotishis have their own views about science, diseases, other worldly and non-worldly issues. Those are their opinions, not the opinions or conclusions stated in Jyotish. Fine but important detail, methinks! RR , "Shad" <waterpowers> wrote: > Dear Mark, and all, > > modern science rather occupies with symptoms than causes.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 I guess science is not a *person* to state anything but whatever *it* has to state, is stated by the scientists :-) Scientists are the one who gave birth to science and science develops through them and talk through them. One may say that science existed always but that is not true. Gravity always existed but not the knowledge related to this. And the *knowledge* related to this is called science not the gravity itself. The disagreement among many astrologers is a lot different from the disagreement among scientists. There can *not* be as much disagreements among scientists as there are among astrologers. Some take 9th house for the fathers, some 10th. Some take eight karakas, some seven. These are basic disagreements. This is because the application of astrology and proof of the theories is sometimes very hard to prove. Astrology is an irregular area of study, there is no fixed course, nor there is any *standard* set of rules and not even an authority to decide who is an astrologer and who is not. That is why many crooks come up with their own theories and *establish* them same way. Science does not have this limitation. The problem is that science does not accept anything unless it is proved. So a true but not-yet-proved phenomena is meaningless to the eye of science. A scientist might believe in astrology but NOT science approaves it because it was not established scientific by any standard authority yet. Thus science rejects astrology though many scientists might believe in it. Tanvir. What can not happen, can never happen. Which is mine, is forever mine.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 This is what I want to say, simply, Tanvir: Even though scientists are the spokespersons for science, they are individually or collectively not science incarnate, nor are all their statements representative of what 'Science' accepts or approves of (factually). For example, different scientists may feel differently about astrology, spirituality, religion, etc -- things that science has not examined. Statements by scientists in such instances must not be muddled up (confused) with what mainstream science has to say. Science, in this case, represents the consensus amongst a body of people who are experienced in and experts in the area they are commenting upon! If scientists were to test and examine (after learning) astrology then I would take their opinions more seriously. Just as I would take the writings of Seymore, Eysenck and Nias for example. Science has had its share of crooks and fast-flyers and fly-by- nighters. Less so now because it is a tightly regulated and controlled body, for the most part. It was not like this always, just as astrology will not forever remain the loose, hairy-fairy realm as it seems sometimes! Science has also had its border-line phenomena, difficult to test (cold fusion, for instance) just as astrology has (a few mentioned in your post). One last point: Science did not become a tightly controlled/regulated body overnight or just by wishing, just as astrology would not, either. People would have to begin to speak up and challenge something that only a very few do, partly because they do not feel confident and have not invested the time and effort into astrology that most scientists doing science have. Astrology is resting on the uneven shoulders of dabblers and marginally or mildly interested few. I am sure the situation will change as more young people like you begin to speak up and challenge the holy grail status quo.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Dear Shad & All: I believe, actually, that good Jyotish is not that different really....from.......good science. What I mean is when we have our charts, 'read' or study our own Jyotish, we look inside, and 'feel' if that statement or expression, really fits us... And if it does, we go....'wow, you're right'.... In this way, we are like little scientists, testing and validating,....the ideas, principles, rules and expressions of Jyotish or Astrology. The main difference I see, is that Jyotish is much more comprehensive, and contains the knowledge of the mind as well as matter. Though the Western science, of Psychology, has not progressed, nearly as far as Physics, for example... But, Jyotish contains the wisdom of both Psychology, and Physiology. In fact, all branches of science, or areas of life, are contained within Jyotish. The physical body is contained in the lst house, Mind or psychology is captured in the 4th house... early life including education is contained within the 5th house,... health is contained within the 6th house... So, profound is this knowingness from Jyotish, that even our dna, or genetics, what diseases willl we be prone to..... all these things are contained within our Jyotish chart.... I guess one could do Jyotish in a non-scientific way,.... not objectively,.... not testing out the ideas and opinions.... but, we kind of do that anyway... Someone tells us something about our charts, and immediately, we do that,....we look within, we want to verify the validity or truth...... And according to Vedic Science,....it's the true, 'Knower' within, that's the ultimate judge, or evaluator.... So, we look within,...and we say....yea,...or nay..... Shad also said: What is the truth? Science does not accept the existence of the soul, as they only see the flesh, bones and DNA... approximately every seven years the scientific theories change and are re-newed. Jyotish in opposite sees the soul and spiritual and does not occupy with symptoms, but causes. Jyotish are the eyes of the vedas and true science, which will never change, as the speculations of so- called science do. You're right science does not accept the existence of the soul,... but some are beginning to study 'it'... What is the soul? According to many modern thinkers,....consciousness....is the soul... And we are consious... We may not know everything about that 'consciousness'.... but it is real, and true! It does exist....because we 'are'.... We experience,...being conscious... What I especially like about Jyotish, is Jyotish has the amazing ability to decipher,.... within that abstract field of consciousness.... It is true, we all, are conscious,...but the flavors of 'that' consciousness,...are multi-fold... Some have a gemini, flavor, some...more cancerish,....some Leoish...while some Aquarian.... As Karl Jung said: 'Astrology helps us understand the many archetypal forms of the mind.' I believe 'god' him/ahhh...herself...' created this period of modern science, so humans would gain the ability to start verifying truth.... Pre-science people argued about everything including whether the World was round or flat! Science then, got invented, came along, so people could test their beliefs... Okay, we believe that the Universe is basically 'astrological'... So, let's prove it to people! First, prove it to ourselves! Then, le'ts help others discover these wonderful truths! Jai Guru Mark Kincaid Founder Starlight Unlimited, a business, promoting Jyotish into all areas of life. Nature's Astrology: / a , looking at the best of Western & Eastern Astrologys, and how we can encourage a development of a true, modern day Science of Astrology and new : kincaidmark/ for those who want more formal Jyotish. "Shad" <waterpowers Sun, 26 Sep 2004 16:51:36 -0000 Re: 2-Shad & All, > Mark Kincaid....9/26, re. liberation from karma...&sciene of 'karma' Dear Mark, and all, modern science rather occupies with symptoms than causes. Sciences bases on gross sensual perception, which is quiet limited, since our senses are conditioned. To give you a short example: in school you learned that vapor from boiling water is lighter than air and due to this rises up. They came to this conclusion by their sensual perception and logical thinking. And this is a relative truth, which is wrong. Now here a nice article from NASA and experiments in zero gravity which shows they were wrong... http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2001/ast07sep_2.htm Additional we must see that sensual perception is influenced by karma. Our karmic impressions in our psychological body 'color' our external sensual perception. Two people can look at the same woman, one can say she is beautiful and the other one will say she is an ugly wall-flower. What is the truth? Science does not accept the existence of the soul, as they only see the flesh, bones and DNA... approximately every seven years the scientific theories change and are re-newed. Jyotish in opposite sees the soul and spiritual and does not occupy with symptoms, but causes. Jyotish are the eyes of the vedas and true science, which will never change, as the speculations of so- called science do.
