What Good Astrology does!!!

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

I have been following this board from time to time but this is my

first post. It´s primary an anser to the thread "What good does

Astrology..." by Das.

 

First of all I think this is a very leading question from someone in

personal doubt of the validity and effects on people of using

Astrology. That´s o.k. but why not then consider some greater

question than this one first. To even ask the question you need to

define what "Good" is! Maybe you would say it´s what makes people

happier. My guess is then, that you will end up with enormous amounts

of different opinions due to how people define their own lifes and

it´s meaning etc. You can go on and on like this. So these sorts of

questions isn´t very profound, I think, if you´re not only out to

have some emotional response from the fellow-participants of this

messageboard. Let me ask you some questions;

 

What "Good" does one of the worlds leading companies Coca-Cola do?

Some people find it the best tasting drink ever, getting them going

when they are tired. Some people find it the worst one due to it´s

detrimental health-effects in the long run.

 

What "Good" does metaphysical philosophy do? Some people claim it´s

enlightening due to it´s profound ways of discerning what´s real and

what´s not, helping them out of their personal traumas and loneliness

by understanding the state of being where there is nothing to worry

or be afraid about. Some people will definitly find it as a way of

transcending moral values in a irresponsible way, at the cost of

economical and political solutions for the "larger" mankind.

 

So what "Good" does astrology do? Some people think that it´s helping

them to see a larger picture of their lives, and easing the terrible

insights that the frontal lobes provides us with (the ability to

forsee our destiny to leave this body into the unknown for example.)

Someone would say it´s a false way of creating a safety feeling,

leading to a disastrous distance from the "real" worldly problems

etc. etc.

 

See, we could spend hours just on this one. Why not except that we

are different, and certainly so in this worlds manifestations, and

act with this knowledge. Nothing is truly right or wrong, it´s just

different ways of using our inherent insights.

 

Personally I have used jyotish for some years now, as a way

of "helping" both myself and some clients. I have seen a lot of ups

and downs in this area, but I can´t say it´s generally either good or

bad. It´s useful for some and not so useful for others. Let it be

this way and I think these kind of threads won´t be up here anymore.

 

LOVE /Andreas
