Guest guest Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Dear Inder: I know what you mean. However, I'll respond in this way, see below: Consciousness & Jyotish > Mark Kincaid 5/19 Reply Reply to Sender Recommend Message 5 in Discussion InderVohra Dear Mark, I have following to say: 1] In the state of Pure Conciousness, astrology or planetary configuerations are not relevant. In Samadhi one is in the state of ZERO or merged with entire Universe. My point here, is that the experience of inner expansion of awareness, can have a very real and powerful effect on ourselves, and our Planetary configurations. My Guru told me, in India, "don't take your chart's like they're written in stone, they're just the state of Physiology at birth." I've thought about this for a very long time, and now, I understand that the Planet's and their configurations, represent the present status of our nervous system's and our evolution, at birth, and at every point of our evolution. Being able to go to that transcendental field, as meditation, and consciousness expansion, is probably the #1, Vedic remedy that can help us in the deepest way imaginable. My experience is that, 'that' experience, can help people with all the trials & tribulations of our 'Astrological' situations. 2] I am not sure whether Saturn believes in fate or Jupiter. But very funningly here in India 100% of people believe in Bhagya or fate. And it was Jupiter ( Pundit ji or Gurus) who spread this to all of us as part of religion or culture. I'd certainly agree with 'that' that India believe's so much in term's of fate. But, this is my point, that this inclination is a problem Again, my Indian Guru, of Transcendental Meditation movement, His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, has spent all of his adult life, teaching and bringing out the virtues and benefits of all Vedic Knowledge. However, one of his central points is that India has fallen into this viscious trap, of fate, and lack of understanding about Life's possibilities of Transformation. (Check out his translation of the Bhagavad-gita for a wonderful explanation as to the "loss & revival" of Knowledge which has been going on in India, and throughout the world, for millenium. This tendency, to not believe that one can change one's future or fate, is at the heart of a deep lethargy and misunderstanding as to the nature of Reality. 3]Freewill versus Destiny is a question which haunts so many people. I dont know why. We should rather explore it, if we can but should not get perturbed by it. It should 'hanut' or concern us. Because depending upon how we see this very important aspect of life; determine's our vigourousness related to life and evolution. Personally I've found a strong quality of Saturn in those people who tend to see, 'that' aspect of life. Whereas, those who believe more in opportunity, change and possibility of growth; have stronger Jupiter's. 4] In my opinion with our existing concepts of Conciousness -Time - Space, this puzzle is unsolvable. I would agree, to this! heehe. I've seen so many people argueing their points of views, and without any resolution. I just thought it would be interesting for people to hear, from my experience,.... what happen's when you begin to add the possibility of inner, consciousness expansion. Not only does one start to experience, that more free, un-caused, inner Consciousness reality, but then, one's interaction's with the World, full of all it's causal relations, does become better! 5] So we should try enjoy both Freewill and Destiny, as much as it is available to us. I'd also agree, that both these aspects of life exist. And, even though the human intellect does have a hard time, sometimes, wrapping around this concept, in truth, it may be that these are both true qualities of life. Freedom, and causality,....being and becoming... Absolute, and relative... Unbounded,....and boundries.... Nice talking with you, Sincerely, Mark Kincaid "InderVohra" <indervohra "The Astroexperts" <TheAstroexperts Fri, 20 May 2005 03:49:44 -0700 "The Astroexperts" <TheAstroexperts Re: Consciousness & Jyotish > Mark Kincaid 5/19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
