2-Geirovee.... Jyotish-Astrology is a Path of Enlightenment,......> Mark Kincaid 5/16

[Guest guest]

Dear Geirovee:

 

It was quite fun hearing about your experiences.

 

I, too have Moon in my 12th House, though mine is with Saturn, too!

 

I learned TM, meditation, in 1970, and have been meditating now for over 34

years!

 

However, when I stumbled upon Jyotish, in 1988, and began studying it, my

life really improved dramatically.

 

Maharishi says: "KNOWLEDGE is the greatest purifier", which I always found

a bit confusing, because I would have thought, the "expansion of

consciousness" was the greatest purifier.

 

Then, when I discovered Jyotish, and I came to "understand" all the many

subtleties, of myself, thorugh the eyes of Jyotish; then I began to really

understand my life.

 

And, that's really just the first stage.

 

Once we 'get' our Chart's, then, we can put even extra attention, on the

malefic areas, that are still there, even after Meditating.

 

Now, I understand that things like Jyotish & Ayurved, are great "advanced

techniques" that work well, with the development of consciousness, through

such things as meditation.

 

Fun, listening to your story, below.

 

How well do you know your chart?

 

I'd recomend you come to know it even more.

 

And, especially how to transform, any, remaining malefic influences, into

their more natural, and benefic, status.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

Mark Kincaid

I went on Internet yesterday to see if there was anything about the

coming period Saturn change... anyway.

 

This was an interesting reading for me. And I going to read it one

more time. I can say that my Saturn is so week in my chart that it

made and make lots of trouble. What is most irritating is that it

does not make me stable in may sadhana and practice.

I have moon in 12 house Capricorn, also kemadruma yoga, but

canceled, Aquarius lagna with Rahu, debilitated Saturn with Mars and

Venus in 3 house in Aries, aspecting my 12 house Moon. And DB and

combust Mercury in 2 house. But I do have Jupiter in the 9th house.

When I turned 16 I got into Rahu Dasha. Started working, no more

education and only suffering, wonting to kill myself at one point at

23 y. old.

 

At 24 y old I discover Transcendental Meditation and also Deepak

Chopras books. And later on, in 96 I took Art of Living course.

To have that community has completely changed my outlook and

inspiration in my life.

 

I went to India in my Rahu/Ketu period - doing nothing only stupid

thing mostly. But I did some meditation, and had a lots of hope.

One day I sat alone, doing meditation at a river up in Rishikes,

singing slow chant Om namha Shivaya out loud for 30 minutes, it

happens something wonderful to me. I'm not sure how to tell, but I

felt so very peaceful as I never ever had felt, I could really feel

the stillness and at the same time thinking whatever I wonted. Mind

was in a way bigger. It was real happening for me. From that point I

realize how strong this could be and how still I can be.

 

So today at 35, I see that it's not only bad to have moon in the 12

house because it gives feeling for spirituality, and where your

feeling is can grow.

 

Silence is the key to happiness, you can do a lot in silence. As my

Guru says:

 

Much is done in silence. If the communication is just on the level of

words, many questions will come, and answers are given, and many more

questions will come, and more answers will come, and many questions--

-it is an endless exercise.

 

He was asked about, what to do for helping Saturn? He said only:

Sadhana.

 

At the same time not be to strong with myself, take it easy....too.

 

Best. G.

bills.

> The bill is coming. Maybe it's a $ 20.00 bill, or maybe it's a $

200.00.

>

> It's inevitable. We bought that 'thing', and the bill is coming.

actions, and

to be

that that

for it,

200.00 bill;

very

>

> However, if we know the bill is coming, and we now, decide we're

going to

either, $ 500,

will not be

>

> Like that, we can save up, for any and all dangers upon the

horizon.

>

> The key, lies in our ability to 'shore' up!

>

mind, what

> The Key, to life, is the development of our inner resources.

> You've heard the fact, that human beings, normally, live only a

very small

>

> Maybe as little as 10, or 15 %!

>

> So, where is the rest of that potential?

>

there,

> Consciousness is a field of literally, infinite resources.

>

> What's been missing is the complete knowledge of self-improvement.

and

>

> Now, that experience is beginning to make an inroad, into the

field of

> Jyotish is a Path of Enlightenment

>

> Now, that the path of enlightenment has been re-discovered,

> For Saturn, Saturn was in the 12th, lord of the 5th & 6th, in the

12th.

>

> A terrible prognosis, indeed!

terrible, malefic

meditation, had

that 'grief'.

>

> My losses, that were more common in my pre-meditation, era, were

now less.

>

> I experienced, less 'loss', I experienced, less grief.

>

> So, why was there still any left?

>

could be

>

> But, then, another thought occurred to me.

>

> Maybe Jyotish can also teach me something about the intrinsic

value and

>

> So, I started on a path, of self-discovery, about the hidden, full

potential

>

> I already had a small, quick start with my Jupiter and Sun.

> However, Saturn, and Moon, & Mars, even Rahu & Ketu, were

obviously, still

>

> Then, I found myself, running into others, my friends, and even new

Moon's in their

>

> I remember one time, thinking, "hey, I can be like that!"

>

> This was in reference to one of my good friend's who had that

Exalted Saturn

>

> I realized in one moment, why she was the way she was.

> Her Exalted Saturn, was an expression of her deep, appreciation of

the

>

> In other word's her life's evolution had already leaned that

lesson.

>

> And, I realized, I had not.

>

> When I reflected upon Saturn I realized, I didn't like resting! I

didn't

>

> Instead I preferred activity, I loved staying up late, and I

loved, doing,

>

> When I understood, however, that Saturn represented the 'rest'

phase of

>

> And also, the appreciation of the fact that life, includes cycles

of rest &

appreciation of

>

tremendous

to live a

>

> Maybe I just needed to study the full knowledge of Saturn, more!
