2- & Manu, from Mark 12/27......re... How to learn astrology? and the Dummies Groups.

[Guest guest]

Dear Manu:

 

Sure, there are many natural obstacles that we all have encountered.

 

But, one of the greatest things I learned from Jyotish, is that it's a lot

easier.....facing one's fears and weaknesses.....quietly.... inside....

reading a book, then.... when someone yells at one, or receives negativity

or feedbacks....in the outer world!

 

And once you begin to see yourself....in a more balanced way.....

 

I have these weaknesses....but I also have these strengths!

 

I also found it a good practice....to focus on the good things first....

 

Everyone's got some good qualities....

 

And one's chart....will explain those as well....

 

The thing is....we should also not forget that Jyotish is just one of the

many Vedic sciences, or paths of knowledge that can be enjoyed.... in the

context of an overall, great....wholeness of Knowledge....

 

Vedic Knowledge is primarily about enlightenment,

or unfolding one's full potential....

 

The primary wisdom of Ved is that 'I am the Self'....of the Universe....

 

and not only 'I'....but....'thou art that'....as well....

 

and in fact,....'everyone else..'...'all this is That'....too!

 

 

When you learn this first..... then,...the details of one's small,

individual, jiva chart.....is not so overwhelming!

 

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

Mark Kincaid
