Dearest

Friends:

 

           

This morning I had the most amazing dream. 

It was discovered through some strange secession of events that I

was worth over 1 trillion dollars!  The dream

continued with what I would do if I had all the money imaginable.  One of the

first ideas that came to me was to get

rid of all the pollution causing automobiles in the World! he he

 

 

           

Then, there were all the customary problems that come with

wealth.  Later, I created businesses and

enterprises to do the many things one might imagine one could do if you

had all the money you could possibly desire. 

Fairly soon in the dream was I found myself thinking: What would I

do if I had all the money in the world.  That's when I returned to my

original dream of making this great Jyotish & Astrology knowledge

available to as many people as possible.

           

When I got up and realized all that money wasn & rsquo;t quite mine

yet! he he, it was still quite a comfort to realize I was already doing

what I would do if I had all the money in the world!. 

The 2nd substantial idea I came up with this morning was

to start a new group for all those seriously interested in learning

Astrology.

           

Therefore, I & rsquo;d like to warmly invite you all to join this

latest group.  I & rsquo;m going to charge a

minimum $ 20.00 for joining this group to help raise money for our

emerging Jyotish business.  However, if

you & rsquo;re sincere about learning and finances are tight then anyone can

join for a minimum $ 5.00.  However, I have one

stipulation.  As soon as your study of Jyotish

increases your financial outlooks, then come back and finish with this

minimum financial contribution.

           

Now, that we have this out of the way; let & rsquo;s discuss an

Overview about the most important aspects of Jyotish or Astrology that we

all need to study.  Whether you & rsquo;re

completely new to Astrology or have a medium or even advanced level of

understanding the first most significant and fundamental quality of

Jyotish/Astrology is that our chart & rsquo;s fit us.

 

& ldquo;Our Charts Fit Us & rdquo;

 

           

This is by far the most significant and important principle in

Astrology.  Even if you have only studied

Western Astrology, Eastern Jyotish or even Chinese

Astrology the most important idea is that the symbolisms of Astrology fit

us.  All of us, then, are on a path of

discovering this fundamental 1 to 1 correspondence.

           

When you study your chart now, begin a new & ldquo;My Chart Fits

Me & rdquo; journal or notebook.  Next, even

before you continue or start with your study make a list of everything

that you already know about yourself.  I like

to call this the Personality Profile.  In

previous Astrology courses I & rsquo;ve taught I & rsquo;ve used this idea of

first writing down everything you already know about yourself. 

           

This gives you a beginning & lsquo;template & rsquo; of true

understanding that you will build on as you continue your Astrology

study.  Because this principle of & ldquo;Our

Charts Fit Us & rdquo; is really just an ever expanding insight or awareness

as to whom you are.  My first suggestion is

write down a list of the 20, 30 or 50 things that you know about

yourself.  At the end of this announcement,

invitation I & rsquo;ll write down a sample Personality for you.

           

The next step in our Astrology project here is to decide what level

of Jyotish study you & rsquo;re beginning with. 

If you know nothing really about Jyotish or would like to begin

with the & lsquo;Beginning & rsquo; then join the Beginners group.  If you know a

fair to midland amount of Jyotish

already then start with the Medium Group.  If

you know already quite a bit of Jyotish and you can find the Astrological

reason for every aspect of your life; then join the Advanced

group.

           

Even if you & rsquo;re already Advanced in your study you can gain

from joining this group because you can get involved in helping other

people learn their Astrology as well.  Also,

99% of the people I & rsquo;ve talked to who already have an advanced amount

of Jyotish knowledge still haven & rsquo;t learned how to change their stars

which is the 2nd most important part of true Jyotish or

Astrological knowledge.

           

Now, only is our Astrology there to help us know who we are but our

Astrology is truly there to also help us evolve. 

Our lives are not just about living a pre-conceived,

pre-determined, fatalistic or pre-conditioned reality.  We & rsquo;re starting

with some beginning and that

has been pre-determined.  But, contained within

that beginning is the true hope and wish to become more.

           

Astrology is a lot like planting a seed. 

When we take a seed we begin the life of this tree with certain

pre-created conditions.  This seed has to be an

apple, orange or guava tree.  In other words

once we & rsquo;ve planted this seed we & rsquo;re going to get an apple

tree!

           

Our charts represent our initial birth seed. 

What we & rsquo;re starting out with is the direct result of all the

details of our birth chart.  That & rsquo;s our

initial seed. However, after we & rsquo;ve planted that seed, we just

don & rsquo;t leave it for that poor tree to grow up on its own.  We, in fact do

whatever we can to make that tree

grow up into the strongest, most powerful and successful tree

possible!

           

So, it is with us.  We are a seed from

the past.  We & rsquo;re coming in with a

specific & lsquo;seed & rsquo; of Astrological conditionings.  These are the

qualities and characteristics of our

seed.  We have strengths and we have

weaknesses.  However, unlike the physical trees

that can & rsquo;t from their own side work to improve their lives; we

can!

           

Therefore the most important aspect of 2nd principle of

Jyotish is self-improvement or self-development. 

You are probably aware of Jyotish & rsquo;s idea of Remedial Measures

or Remedies.  There is a long history and

precedence in Vedic Astrology to look to specific and important things we

can do to literally strengthen any planet or neutralize or balance any

negative situation, karma, Dasa or Transit period in our lives.

           

So, in addition to learning our charts, how our charts fit us

we & rsquo;ll also begin immediately learning how to apply any number of

positive and uplifting Jyotish or life-remedies and remedial measures

which will go to the heart of strengthening and improving our life

& lsquo;seeds & rsquo; or charts!

           

Jyotish or Astrological knowledge by the way is itself the #1

Jyotish or Astrological remedy that we can begin with.  There is an amazing

improvement that will

immediately come to you as you learn your Astrology. 

This is because the very act of learning how your chart fits you

immediately creates within you a powerful and life-changing aha or voila

or eureka, wow; or however you want to say it that will self-empower and

completely change your life.

           

This is because self-knowledge is the great aphrodisiac in the

entire world.  As you know your Self you gain

power to live and to direct that life.  In the

West one of the most fundamental of ideas; stemming from the ancient

Greeks was the idea from the Greek Oracle: 

& ldquo;Know Thyself & rdquo;.

           

I was just writing about this last night and the entire idea was:

& ldquo;Know thyself - and thou shall know all the mysteries of the gods

and of the universe. & rdquo;  This is an even

more important idea.  Because in discovering

who you are you will gain the organizing and practical skills to do and

accomplish whatever you want in this life.

           

& ldquo;To know the mysteries of the gods and of the

universe & rdquo;, in ancient times meant you could accomplish

anything!  So, we need to inject this old

notion back into Jyotish & Astrology.  As

we grow in self-knowledge we will automatically gain more practical

mastery over the world.  Though we may first

want to start with increasing power and mastery over ourselves, even our

own bodies, and minds, emotions and intellects; very soon however,

we & rsquo;ll even be able to move the world!

           

What a miraculous seed it is that we are. 

Not only are we meant to be an apple, orange or guava tree we are

the kind of tree that has the highest of life & rsquo;s possibilities.  If you

connect Jyotish with all the other limbs of

the Veda, or sciences of Vedic Knowledge Jyotish becomes a tool for the

unfoldment of the full potential of human life.

           

I was very fortunate when I came to study Jyotish, (over 19 years

ago now), I came already from a Vedic self-improvement background of 18

years of Vedic study of meditation, Ayurveda, and Yoga.  When you come from this

direction you find yourself

already believing in the principle of self-development.  All these other aspects

of Vedic knowledge are

about improveing ourselves, in the direction of full Enlightenment.  Therefore,

why shouldn & rsquo;t Jyotish, too, be

about self-development.

           

In fact, it & rsquo;s supposed to be. 

But, in , for a long period of time, it & rsquo;s most recently

become forgotten how to easily and naturally get on to enlightenment.  Instead,

it has become thought that it was hard and

needing much self-effort, discipline or control and concentration to

accomplish this greatest of human goals.

           

However, the & ldquo;times, they are a changin & rdquo; to quote an

old Bob Dylan song! (I think).  Anyway, I come

from a very different perspective.  I & rsquo;m a

meditator, a seeker, an enthusiast, interested in Enlightenment

who & rsquo;s also stumbled into Jyotish.  As a

result, I & rsquo;ve found a natural integration of the powerful diagnostic

tools of Jyotish with the healing and self-regenerating tools of the other

Vedic sciences to produce the most amazing combination.

           

In the future Jyotish will get back to its original purpose of also

being a technique of self-development and enlightenment.  Right now, we & rsquo;re

in only the beginning.  But, any of you who have any experience in any of

these other self-unfolding disciples of Vedic knowledge can already attest

to their healing and life-improving possibilities.

           

In my own experience, I & rsquo;ve realized that Jyotish itself is

already the ultimate self-improvement technology. 

Because, contained within our charts is not only the most perfect

and precise, clear and individualistic understanding of who we are; but,

our charts are also precise and perfect formulas for who we & rsquo;re meant

to become!

           

For example it & rsquo;s already well known and documented that our

charts contain the most developed appreciation of who we are, what our

strengths and weaknesses are in starting out in this life.  In Western Astrology

this distinction is simply

called Strengths and Weaknesses.  In Jyotish

this classification is called Benefices and Malefics. 

From our Benefices comes all the goodness in our lives.

           

All our natural talents, gifts, and positive human attributes can

be readily identified with one or another of our Benefic planets.  On the other

hand everything uncomfortable,

unhappy, sad and disappointing in life can be found directly associated

with one or other of our Malefic planets.

           

One of my greatest contributions to the field of Astrology will be

that the & ldquo;Malefics in our lives, not only express our problems and

challenges in life; but they also represent the very personal and unique,

precise solutions to our life & rsquo;s problems. & rdquo; For example, if

Mars is one of the active Malefics in our charts. 

Maybe it & rsquo;s in the First House, or 4th, or

7th, or maybe it & rsquo;s with our Moon, Sun or Mercury.  There are a number of

Jyotish classifications that

deem it a potential first rate Malefic!

           

However, the ultimate judge of our Mars & rsquo; malefic ness depends

only upon its practical consequences.  If

we & rsquo;re the kind of person that #1 has accidents, or fights,

disagreements, excessive anger, pitta, fire or any and all criminal

behaviors then these consequences are seen as a natural

& lsquo;proof & rsquo; of Mars & rsquo; malefic status. 

However, contained within this classification is its opposite

reality.  Not only is Mars the

& lsquo;bad & rsquo; planet or one that & rsquo;s literally responsible for our

Mars problems; but it is the very planet that needs to be and is supposed

to be strengthened!

           

In fact, one step in doing this will convince anyone of this deep

and fundamental principle of Jyotish.  Someone

goes to an Ayurvedic doctor and he & rsquo;s got a fever, or any number of

other so-called pitta signs or problems, excessive heat in digestion,

indigestion, ulcers, etc. and the first thing the doctor does is feel his

pulse.  Ayurveda teaches that the pulse is a

natural barometer of the health and ill-health of the complete

Psycho/Physiology.

           

When the Ayurvedic doctor feels the pulse he & rsquo;s looking for

the pulse signs of imbalance.  As it turns out

when someone has excessive heat or fire in them the pitta pulse is found

to be aggravated.  The Ayurvedic doctor,

however, does not launch into one of these long diatribes about how

& ldquo;I & rsquo;m sorry, you & rsquo;ll never be able to get out of

imbalance, or I & rsquo;m sorry this condition will last for the entire 7

years of your Mars period. & rdquo;  No, instead

he immediately begins prescribing practical and time tested formulas for

self-improvement.  These may be dietary

changes, including pitta rasayanas or pitta churnas which are by the way

designed to lessen or diminish the excessive heat that & rsquo;s in the

body.

           

Some day Jyotish will be done like this! 

We & rsquo;ll get someone & rsquo;s date of birth information.  We & rsquo;ll look at

their chart & lsquo;pulse & rsquo;

and immediately see what & rsquo;s supposed to be their imbalances.  Then,

we & rsquo;ll talk to the person to hear

whether those original birth imbalances are still bothering them.  Did you know

you can hear in everyone & rsquo;s

speech exactly the planets that are bothering them?!

           

Someone says:  & ldquo;I & rsquo;m worried,

anxious, upset by this or that & hellip; & rdquo; and immediately you hear the

Moon speaking.  Someone else says:  & ldquo;I have no self-confidence, I feel

defeated,

listless and have no will power & rdquo; and immediately one hears the

Sun.  Another says: 

& ldquo;I & rsquo;m tired, exhausted, full of stress, miserable,

unhappy and on and on & rdquo; and immediately you hear Saturn. 

           

With each planet there & rsquo;s a unique and predictable script of

qualities and characteristics which are the true signs of each

planet & rsquo;s health of ill-health.  However,

don & rsquo;t think of them as permanent conditions; instead think of them

as temporary imbalances of the body and mind & rsquo;s different

planets.

           

With the clear identification of the planet that & rsquo;s likely to

be acting malefically, then immediately launch into remedial measures and

remedies to bring health and vitality to that part of our human,

astrological natures.  This, in fact, will be

the 2nd most important thing that we do in this group.  #1 we & rsquo;ll grow in

our daily appreciation of

the Astrological reasons why we & rsquo;re the way we are.

           

We & rsquo;ll even find the reasons why other people treat us the way

we do; in our Stars!  However, the solutions

even, for these kinds of so-called & lsquo;outer & rsquo; problems are also

the growth and improvement of our inner planets. 

There is an old expression:  & ldquo;The

World is & hellip;.as we are. & rdquo;  I find this

to be a very literally true idea.  Even modern

day scientists now, understand that all we & rsquo;re ever experiencing is

what our human nervous systems can experience.

           

Through our specific, predictable nervous system our eyes see only

a very small wave length of the light of the world. 

Our ears only hear a very small fragment of the total range of

sound.  Taste too is very specifically limited

to a certain narrow range.  Add the total

details of our human astrological nervous systems and we begin to

understand that what we & rsquo;re experiencing is a Direct result of our

charts.

           

Therefore, if we want to improve our inner, mental, emotional or

outer, physical, social and business, family life; we only need to improve

our Astrological planets.  This is where the

old adage comes from:  & ldquo;Know

Thyself- & all the gods and goddesses will line up to be your

servants. & rdquo;  Actually, this is a slightly

Eastern take on that old Greek declaration.

           

In addition to studying Jyotish, in this group we & rsquo;re also

going be studying all aspects of the Vedic knowledge as well.  If you & rsquo;ve

never really discovered this

amazing knowledge you & rsquo;re in for a treat. 

The Vedas means pure Knowledge.  Pure

knowledge means pure or perfect knowledge and wisdom of reality.  One of my

favorite Vedic expressions is this:  & ldquo;I am That, thou art that and All

this is

That! & rdquo;  This of course refers to the

knowledge of Brahman.  The #1 Vedic idea is

that everyone contains a limitless field of pure wisdom, consciousness and

potential deep within them that is their truest nature!  The purpose of life,

according to Ved is to

discover and unfold this perfect Knowledge and wisdom.

           

Vedic meditation directly goes to experiencing and unfolding that

infinite state of consciousness called Cosmic consciousness.  Ayurveda & rsquo;s

goals are to create a state of

perfect balance of the mind and body till Enlightenment is gained.  Even yoga,

you know, those cute and fascinating

little postures; bendings and stretchings that are so famous now

throughout the Western world; even those have an ultimate goal for

liberation!

           

There was a saint who lived recently in named Tat wala baba who

was supposed to be fully enlightened.  His

path, by the way was only the physical postures of Yoga.  Another of my favorite

quotes from Vedic literature

comes from one of the Upanishads which goes like this.  This quote comes from

the & ldquo;Upanishads & rdquo;

by Juan Mascaro published by Penguin books. 

From page 12:

 

& ldquo;Brahman is

the Universe, God in his transcendence

and immanence is

also the Spirit of man,

the Self in every

one,

in all, is

Atman.

 

Thus the momentous

statement is made in the Upanishads

That God must not

be sought as something far away,

Separate from us,

but rather

As the very inmost

of us,

As the higher Self

is us above the limitations

Of our little

self.

 

In rising to the

best in us we rise to the Self in us,

To Brahman, to God

himself. & rdquo;

 

           

Perhaps this is what is truly meant even by the Greeks when they

said: & ldquo;Know Thyself & rdquo; and all us will be added onto you!  Maybe we

forget sometimes when we study our charts,

that we are NOT this small chart with plusses and minuses.  I think I forgot how

much I took for granted my

assumption that within me is the source of all.

           

Therefore when I look within, I try and look beyond the limitations

of my individuality or chart.  In fact,

that & lsquo;s been my experience.  I am my

chart, but I am also something much greater! 

My chart, on the other hand has lead me to the ahas, and

Eureka & rsquo;s, and the oh, my

God, & hellip;. experiences of my life.  We all

are both our charts and that Self which is truly beyond the

Stars.

 

           

Let & rsquo;s make a resolution then to first study the Highest

potential of who we are.  Then, as we study our

charts we can begin to see how close we are to that highest Self

within.  Also, we can immediately begin

experiencing the full potential of this Vedic wisdom and with each

day & rsquo;s reflections and meditations we & rsquo;ll be unfolding more and

more of that unlimited Self potential.

           

Then, we & rsquo;ll look at our Jyotish not as a limitation but as a

tool to help us literally, get out of the limited boundaries and small

mindedness that are so often associated with Astrology and certainly with

our malefics.  According to Juan

Mascaro:

 

& ldquo;According

to the Upanishads,

the reality of

God

can only be

apprehended in

a consciousness of

joy

that is

beyond

ordinary

consciousness. & rdquo;

 

           

Therefore we have to go beyond the ordinary dimensions and

limitations of our individual charts.  We HAVE

to transcend the boundaries of our malefics, certainly, and we also have

to go beyond even the limits of our Benefices! 

Though I know most of you will be happy if you just learn to

correct or balance your Malefics!

           

Let & rsquo;s however, consider the full potential of Jyotish

embracing the full potential of complete Vedic Knowledge and Wisdom.  Therefore,

in addition to studying Jyotish

we & rsquo;ll study how to connect Jyotish to the other most important

disciplines of the Veda.

 

           

Join me in this most wonderful pursuit of increasing Self-knowledge

through the study and learning of our Jyotish. 

Through this knowledge you & rsquo;ll gain the Self knowledge and

wisdom to do and accomplish everything.

We had talked in the beginning of creating first a

Personality Profile to begin our Jyotish study.  But, now as this

letter has evolved I think the first step is to describe a list of who we

are as seen through wonderful descriptions of Vedic and even Western

literature.  Both cultures have in places the most wonderful ideas as

to our true human potenital.

 

" The Spirit,

without moving, is swifter than the mind;

the senses cannont reach

him:  He is ever beyond them.

Standing still, he overtakes

those who run.

To the ocean of his being, the spirit of life leads

the streams of action. "

" Who sees all

being in his own Self, and his Self in all beings,

loses all

fear! "

 

When a sage sees this great Unity and his Self

has become all beings,

what delusion and what sorrow can ever be

near him! "

 

 

Jai Guru!
