2-All re. Relationship between Meditating, Consciousness and Jyotish

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends: Many of

you may be aware of the Vedic Science called Jyotish or Eastern

Astrology. It's one of the Vedic disciplines that's also there to help us evolve. I first became aware of Jyotish after about

18 years of meditating. By then I had become a TM teacher and

later Sidha so I was pretty used to Maharishi describing many of the

different aspects of the Ved. There's yoga, meditation,

Ayurveda, Yaguas, and then Jyotish. I remember when Maharishi first

started coming out with all these non-TM disciplines. I think

it was in the late 1970's. I remember him reviewing the progress of

themovement at the time. He said: " In review it seems

everything is going well. Consciousness is unfolding.... "

Then he paused, and then took a small breath and then said:

" Now.... I'm wondering if there anything else from Vedic science that

we can use to strengthen our progres....? " That for

me was the beginning of all these advanced techniques in consciousness. For many years I thought they were not as vital as TM but now,

I'm beginning to think they can be just as important. For

example, having learned Jyotish since 1988, when I talk to

" meditators " and hear them say: " I don't know why I'm

still struggling. I've been meditating way too long to have to....

think? " I immediately think: " Well, what's in

your chart? " Most meditators have heard of Jyotish.

Though I'll often hear: " Ahh, I'm not sure. "

But, when I look at 'their' chart, I see exactly why they're going through

what they're going through. " Well, you know you're still

in Saturn dasa period, right? " Or maybe I'll say, " Well, a

year ago you just entered Sade Sat....? " You know for

everyting we're going through there is a good Jyotish or

Astrological reason for it. Over the years then, it occured to

me: " Those meditators who also understand their Astrology seem

to be doing better then those who don't know their Jyotsh... " Mmmmmmmm Now, I realize it's probably true for all

the other Vedic disciplines. Those that do their Asanas, go to

the clinic, practice their Ayurveda, orrrrrrr now, practice their

Jyotish! So, I thought it might be helpful to tell you all a

little bit more about Jyotish. In the future Jyotish is going

to have the most powerful effect on the whole world! This is

because " Jyotish... " as Maharishi has said, is the

" eye " of the Ved! Contained within Jyotish are all

the other Vedic sciences. For example, in the 5th House in

everyone's chart is the House of Education, including mantras.

So, people who have good or spiritual 5th Houses along with other

influences, are attracted to mantras. Then, there's Ayurveda

which is looked at by the 6th & 8th Houses. Then, ther'es

the Guru, and God, themselves, who is found in our 9th House's! And, finally there's the 12th House which represents the transcendental

reality.....and experience... So, think of adding the study or

utility of Jyotish to your TM practice! It will change your

life... Sincerely, Mark Kincaid markkincaid
