Guest guest Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Hi Mark, Talking to you is always a grace and betterment for one's understanding about life. Dear Shripal: See below: Shripal <d_shripal AyurvedJyotishYoga Sun, 6 Mar 2005 22:11:01 -0800 (PST) Spirituality_Astrology [AyurvedJyotishYoga] Re: 2-MARK, Q How to dissolve the confusion or tension of malefic planets and Are we getting influenced Hi Mark, Talking to you is always a grace and betterment for one's understanding about life. 1)What you said about tension and confusions,unnecessary worries all were there a year ago,I have left it there itself and came into a world with better understanding,deep thoughts,calmness,smile on a face,leaving anguish etc etc. A year ago I met my Dharma Guru,he became ascetic at a age of 17 years,he was millionaire or his father still has millions of rupees,But he left it all and become a Jain priest since last 25 years.I almost every sunday and discuss with him.When ever I am with him,I experience a shanti shanti and shanti.These people are having so much calmness,quiteness,silence that one cannot imagine.People wh has this, can make you feel too that what I understood after meeting him such a long. VEry cool experience, you and your Guru... For those who have not the opportunity to meet or interact with a physical, or live Guru, please understand....the Universe can be your Guru, if you let it! Enlivening Jyotish in you, for example, is like stimulating the Guru, inside of you... For me, my Guru, his Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, of transcendental meditation fame,... he's been a Guru, but one that most people do not get a chance to be with physically. But still, I have been unbelievably benefited from him because of his knowledge. Listening to the Knowledge of one's Guru, or mentor, and availing yourself of the perspective, and the wisdom of your parents, teachers and Guru's ....and even...... God,.... him/herself... has the great possibility of transforming the life... One of the greatest things I've learned from Jyotish....is.... all sufferings in life... all unhappinesses,... in fact, all problems... are due to 'us', mismanagine, or not understanding some aspect of ourselves, or the World... Jyotish is so clear and explains so precisely the whole reality of karma, that one finally can come to understand that what we're ever experiencing is...only the product of our own thoughts, and actions! This means if we're the one's that are undermining or sabotaging ourselves, .... there must be a good reason... And the good reason is because of the malefics in our charts.... The malefics represent our thought patterns,... which we're not either understanding or violate the laws of nature, in some way, and that's why Jyotish says, they're 'malefics'... And the 'Guru', physical person, or the Guru, of pure knowledge, has the great opportunity of helping us 'see' clearly.... helping us 'understand' better... and especially helping us dissolve and transform,...any of our malefic notions into their benefic counterparts... Shripal: Now, you mentioned being postively affected by the silence of this man... and that reminds me of the Vedic benefit called darshan....! the living presence of a saint gives us the direct experience of 'integration'.... they're alive, breathing talking, and living,...but... they're full of so much joy and silence,... that we're positively affected.... I know a number of Exalted Saturn friends who have that experience on me and the environment as well. In fact, Jyotish has helped me realize that I could find people who had strong planets, like Saturn, where especially, I have had weak one's and they're living example, might help me intuitively,...understand better that planet! Than looking back to my chart,I was making my jupiter more and more stronger and Mars too,as I was gainig confidence a lot within myself.And negative effect or Rahu and Saturn started declining slowly and slowly. Feeling more mature in terms of Understanding about Life. Yes, exactly.... a good example of the powerful, transformative power of life... and Jyotish and Vedic wisdom... I came to an amazing concept about this world,in reality there is nothing such as darkness or lightness.Time doesn't exist.No male or Female.As our mind is Rahu actually binding our Gunas,Soul to our Body that is why we are expeiencing a effect of planets. We should be careful here.... The World is real, it's not an illusion... though it may appear to be like a dream, to those that have awakened... it's realities, and affects upon us,...are very real..... and better understanding the laws of nature, out here, in the World, and inside of ourselves,.. allows us to awaken to the Light, more quickly... So every person is a mixture of sattvic,Rajasic and tamsic materials and these planets in different signs pratibodh or charges these ingredients that exist in our Body and Mind too.As our mind reacts to our Body. Mind is root cause of everything. My Guru says in reality when you reach Moksha Mind doesn't exits.There is only soul and Soul is everything.You are vidyaman or into a Universe or Universe is into you,one and a same thing.As I am a follower of Jainism He show me some photos, Universe is bigger than a person can ever think of.Our Mahavir Swami has shown us a path to that and also explanied How universe exist and Where we are in that and where we will go and where we should go.Mark I will just explore this part too,It will be really interesting. the spiritual dimensions of life, and even Jyotish are very tantalizing... but when I forget to pay attention to some aspect of the World, esp. my body,... then, I get less, integrated with that great inner value... So, mastering the World, and our Jyotish, can be a very beneficial, spiritual experience, as well. Back to my chart analysis,Just got carried away.So know I feel I am getting more influenced by Mars and Jupiter in Leo and they are the strongest. You told go inner,inner, you right about that.But when you are with your friends and they want ot have fun with you ,But you have a kind of a feeling to be alone, That time What you will do and you can't just go away from there. Ved says that the key to life and progress and evolution is being self-referral.... When you look within and you experience that you need to be alone, but.... the temptations of your friends are drawing you away from yourSelf... you still have a choice.... Jyotish has helped me perceive myself, and my realities sooo clearly, now, that I don't allow myself, to be distracted... However, friendships, are an intimate part of life, and the 11th house in Jyotish.... and there will be a place for 'them' in our lives... However, the central need is to honor and follow the realities of our own Nature.... You, too have all these planets in the 11th house of friendships, soooo, these friends will represent any malefic tendencies, and challenges in your planets there, too... Controlling about oneself can be done very well,But what about influences that we experince going out doing job,with friends.Those influences are very powerful to your chart and it does distract you a lot from your path too.So being myself ,How can I not get influenced by outside world,I am not talking in terms of listening to somebody and doing things.But I am saying lets take example, I don't want to go to party,But when people gather's around you around 4 to 5 and forcefully take you to party, Know that no one forces us to do anything.... Even those who come giving us a bill, are really just our karma, coming back to us... What will you do with a help of astrology to avoid such a situation. I think, first of all, it'll be very helpful to first understand that sometimes, it's good for you to go out and be with them,... but... knowing how to bow out, gracefully, is a very good thing.... and you're learning how to be successful in life, not...through associations and relationships with others.... but... by being more self-referral, and correcting your malefics, and that, alone, will really draw success to you... Balance in all things... accepting that there is a time and a place to go out with them,... and not doing it too much.... is also important... especially because Saturn's there in your 11th house,... you obviously seem to have the karma, of being drawn out, of yourself,... which is very symbolic of Saturn.... so learning to say, no, and be more balanced will really help your Saturn... but, being happy to go out and be with them, sometimes,...is still okay.... A million dollar question isn't it?.You don't want to create a bad relationship with them and that's why you have to go and need to do what they doo. But, if they're really true friends, understand that, they should understand your need to not be with them, sometimes... You're on a spiritual path, and have a great opportunity, to evolve through paying more attention to your own, personal, self-referral nature.... If you don't follow 'that' you'll be disappointed, later... Influence of surrounding people chart on our chart,I think is a very interesting concept in astrology and need to be explored.More examples... With all those planets in your 11th house, I see, now, from your words, and experiences, how they reflect those tensions in your 11th house... Saturn's malefic there,... Jupiter's verrrry positive there,.... Rahu's got it's challenges there....and Mars,....is very positive there too.... Don't allow your easy going, fragile Moon, be dissuaded from following your heart... You can be a good friend to them, but they need to be a good friend to you, too... Girls in INDIA not more outward than in USA,because of surroundings.I want your comment on this.Husband and Wife influencing each other etc.Father and Mother on children.Childrens in Big Family house. Whoa, lot's of different ideas here, hehhe. It's a good start to understand our relationships with these parts of life,.... girls, are a reflection of our Venus'.... Husbands are the Jupiter's in women's charts... Wives, are the Venus and 7th house, and lord in a man's chart... Our relationship with our father, is understood by our Sun.... and our relationship with our Mother, is understood by our Moon.... At some point, though, we can learn from Jyotish, and/or Ved, how to literally, transcend the limitations of our Sun, & Moon's in our charts, and even,... can find our true Mother and Father, in God... through Jyotish... When that happens we really get a chance to dissolve the binding affects of the limitations of the malefis in our charts... and that's a really wonderful experience.... Finally,... lots of children,...is the 5th house,.... lot's of siblings,...is the 3rd & 11th.... How many brothers and sisters do you have? I am the oldest of 6 in my family.... Always figured with so many planets in my 11th, there was no room for an older sibling... but my 3rd house, ruled by Jupiter, and Jupiter's in a good place in Pisces in my chart, .... I got 5 other, wonderful brothers and sisters! hehee take care fun as always....
