Scope of Astrology (autobiography ALERT!!)

[Guest guest]

UH OH!!

 

Now I am in big trouble! The last time my big brother said exactly

those words was when I was about 10 year old and during playing with

his 8 inch loudspeakers (he was a ham radio buff! I was just trying

to ape him, pretending to be this big radio scientist who knows

everything about speakers and radios!!) actually managed to leave

my 'fingerprints' on it! More like the hole in the diaphragm through

my fingers poking around things where they did not belong! It was to

be a fateful day in my life! Dada asked me point blank,"Did you

destroy it? Tell me the truth and I will not punish you!". I paused

for a few seconds that I still remember and then I confessed! He let

me go --with a wise expansive look in his eyes that I captured in my

young mind then that I think I understand today and still try to

live! He was 21 years old then and I can imagine, my little

thoughtless experiment in 'empirical' science must have really cost

him a pretty penny back then, in the cash reality!-

 

But can you imagine the impression such a positive outcome from a

simple testing of faith can leave for a lifetime? Maybe longer?

 

It might have been a predestined moment but I could have lied and I

would not have been telling your proudly this story today 40 some

years later or benefitted from that predestined moment that forced a

10-year old to choose between this or that! Life is a collection of

significant moments that are significant if you are paying attention!!

 

It could have as easily gone the other way ...

 

Don't knock the power of choice!!
