2-Simon & All re. Saturn..... from Mark K. 4/8/09

[Guest guest]

Dear Mark,

 

I am learning what the Saturn grind on ego is about and, for me, how this feels.

 

Dear Simon: I know what you mean. This, of course is part of Saturn's malefic or un-

comfortable side. Always remember however, that Saturn has a benefic side too.

 

He does, however, have the rather thankless task of always giving us, our most difficult

karmas and negative consequences!

 

 

For me it is so painful it brings me beyond cries, into twinkly

admiration. But I find that right now he is making medidtation, or

diving deep and easily inside, so very difficult and sometimes even

closing my eyes to meditate is seemingly too uncomfortable, but I still

go through the motion of it,

 

Just remember, 'HE' is NOT doing 'it', this or whatever negative, difficult karma we are

going through.

 

WE are doing things, and 'he' is only bringing back to us 'our' karmas!

 

This is very important. HE doesn't bring to us ANYTHING, but what we haven't created

for ourselves. We personalize, 'our' karmas, and say Saturn is causing this.

 

But, this is not truth!

 

The truth is we act, make decisions, stay up too late, work too hard,

get ourselves out of balance and 'who' brings us all this negative

karma?

 

That's right, Saturn!

 

So, if we want to change our Saturn karmas, all we need to do is start creating more

positive, balanced and integrated actions! And, suddenly, or slowly, but definitely, our

karmas and actions & re-actions, or consequences will suddenly become brighter, more

happy and profound!

 

If things are difficult, however, take heart in the fact, that it took you awhile to create the

imbalances that you're experiencing, so it may take some time to re-create balance.

 

But, take heart, that as you do this, learn to every day, live more and more in-tune with

your own, personal Saturn, your life will continue getting better and better and better!

 

 

 

 

WHen I ask "Why would Shani want to delay the very thing he loves best,

more silence," should we just forget and think "well he has good

reason" or is there a secret to this that I may not have wanted to hear

before?

 

Again, 'HE'S' not delaying. It's you and your karmas that have made it even difficult to

meditate. Better to think this way, than that 'anyone' is obstructing YOU!

 

I heard Maharishi say one time: "no one can bring to you anything but is your own creation."

 

At the time I felt kind of depressed about this. 'Oh, it's my own fault!'

 

Then, later I realized, if its really true that no one brings to us anything that isn't our own

karma, then, this means WE'RE the only one that stands in our way!

 

In other words, if we take complete responsibility for everything we go through, then we will

step into an even bigger part of us, a more powerful and self-referral part of us, that is

instinctively more powerful, progressive, and self-determining!

 

Just accept the time it may take to re-create balance for yourself, and keep going!

 

Jai Sani!

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Mark K.
