Guest guest Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Hello Sundeep, When people saw that MOUNT EVEREST was not yet conquered, teams upon teams started trying to conquer the EVEREST . They adopted different routes from which to start climbing. The north, south eastern western etc are faces of EVEREST which are being used to climb it and conquer it. The aim is to reach the peak which is the highest point in this world. When a team or teams or individuals set out to conquer it, they know that some one will make it and some one will not. Most of the times, people lose their fight against natural forces .Some times they lose their lives and chances of failure are more. People can say that , EITHER THEY WILL BE SUCCESSFUL OR THEY WILL FAIL. so does it make mountain climbing exercise a Failure? Just think.... Tatvam-Asi Ps. A journey to unknown is always fascinating. Should we stop embarking on the journey as routes are unknown or full of pitfalls??? vedic astrology, "vedicastrostudent" <vedicastrostudent> wrote: > > > Dear all, > Has it occurred to any of you that whether Bush or Kerry wins, > astrology will lose, and in fact has already lost?

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Dear Tatvam-Asi, Are you saying that making election predictions is the "Mt. Everest" task of astrology? As yet unmastered? Then where are the "Mt. Kilimanjaro" (a 19K ft mountain in Africa as opposed to the Everest's 29K ft) tasks - the ones that are already mastered and everyone agrees on? In mountain climbing, you build faith in teams climbing an as yet unscaled mountain by seeing their prowess in earlier climbing successively higher mountains leading up to the unscaled very high one. I see pretty much all predictive tasks in astrology seeing equal amounts of disagreement among Gurus. Please dont misunderstand me. I am merely trying to hint that efforts at the SYSTEMATIZATION of astrology seem to be going nowhere. On this group, there seems more focus on individual genius than getting all the Gurus to agree so that the knowledge is systematized and can be easily disseminated - which I would assume is, or at least should be, the goal of the SJC. Why arent Gurus able to review each other's analysis BEFORE the event, and come to a consensus using intelligent debates BEFORE the event. They may use different techniques but the end goal is the same, so they should be able to critique each other's usage of techniques (critique, not criticize). What after all is the use of having an SJC like center? I am more for building a systematic understanding of the scriptures than using SJC's lists as a bulletinboard for popularizing individual astrologers' predictions. That is all it does right now..

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Hello Sundeep, You missed the point . Each individual's horoscope/life is an unchartered un-explored enigma. As astrologers people try out different methods to chart out his/her life to the best possible perfection. Does modern science has any so called foolproof method to accomplish a single scientific task ? Same science has not still understood HOW A SIMPLE CHEMICAL CALLED ACETYL SALYSILIC ACID OR ASPIRIN WORKS Even with the most sophisticated tools at their disposal. For your kind information all individuals are basically bundle of complex chemical engineering. Hope this would put you to some thoughtful exercise.
