2-JR] Which Planet To Blame ? And Why ? 2/27 from Mark Kincaid (Garbage)

February 27, 2006

Marc -- you raise an important aspect which is not jyotish-specific.

It is about the 'Doom and Gloom" mentality that western astrologers

have chuckled about a lot, and broken away from even in their

framework.

It is not very different from the practice that exists in many

nations where garbage is neatly packed and left at the kerb on a

weekly basis and gets picked up and most 'owners' and "creators" of

the garbage do not even know where it ends up, whether it gets

landfilled and in some cases even shipped out of the country to a

neighbouring nation, etc.

The 'blaming' and scapegoating in puritanical astrology (any and all

kind) is very similar to this kind of 'garbage' disposal. The only

problem is that where karmic garbage is concerned, often one packs

up the garbage nicely, puts it in a timely manner at the kerb but

the garbage truck does not show up and the garbage remains at the

kerb despite all our best practices (fast, mantra, tantra, feeding

sparrows, or dogs - blah blah blah!)

This is because some of the garbage -- the "city" does not pick up

and becomes the owner/creator's responsibility to dispose.

I am sure this analogy is making sense to some individuals!!

Dear Rohini Ji,

"The 'blaming' and scapegoating in puritanical astrology (any and all kind) is

very similar to this kind of 'garbage' disposal."This how you would like to sum

up(and answer why?)

krishnan
