Dear Friends & Subscribers:

I wanted to share with you a recent dialogue I had with one of the new members of our New Transits Newsletter.  I don't want to make you feel bad if you haven't joined yet; he he but I did want you to realize in addition to following the Transits we'll be connecting with all the other aspects of our Astrology as well.

Sincerely,

Mark Kincaid

ps.    Hope to see you.   See below for the web address of our new group.

Hi Mark:

I have a profound interest in research in consciousness. My inner
experiences at the level of my nervous system tells me something of the
nature of the interaction between the physiological that allows us to
know cosmic consciousness. I think this is the essence of Jyotish.

Hi Edward:  Nice to see your Introduction here.

See below in blue!

Oh yes, glad to hear of your connecting consciousness to Astrology.
We'll find as we pay attention that the more we strengthen or enliven our
consciousness that will have a very positive and life-affirming influence upon our experiences with the Transits!

Our own "light" within will show us the "way" to the in knowing.
Moreover, the daily experiences with the transits I sense and feel on an intuitive level offers me some form of this knowing on a very personal, both with benefic and malefics, at the level of awareness.

 

I know what you mean.  As I’ve meditated that experience has not only changed my consciousness but it has also changed the way I perceive Jyotish!

 

Knowledge
that is presented to me comes as if in waves during waking and sleeping
states. So, consciousness is 24/7. Now, the question for me is, how to
work with both? Especially the malefics.

 

Well, you’re better off then most people because you’re already growing in the most powerful Vedic remedy called meditation.

The ‘affects’ of that Vedic technique for you will give you the power to change whatever malefic you focus on!

I’m sure you’re heard the expression:

“Where there’s a will there’s a way!”

Well, where there’s a will we have the best chance to make our way!  Without a strong enough will we can barely manifest our survival much less our progress and prosperity in life.

Ah,…you’re reminding me of a great article that’s been in the back of my mind.

“Will, fulfillment of desire, and the Sun!”

As it turns out the Will is a reflection of our Sun’s! 

Those who have bright and powerful Sun’s have strong self-confidence but also strong and successful wills.

Without a strong inner Self, Sun light we can’t find our way!

The will is a reflection of our Sun’s light.

So,  you having spent years enlivening your consciousness, Self, Sun, your will should be stronger then before!

This is not only fortunate for your sense of Self, but it’s very fortunate for all your undertakings, plans, goals and dreams.

Your ability to Transform any of your Malefics depends greatly on your Strength of I, Self, Sun!

Daily these waves are felt each day, and even hourly I personally
listen to and respond to them. The shift of the power and energy of
transits reflects how and when the physiological (central nervous system)
responds to these planetary powers in a particular way or fashion, that
repsond to, let's say the moonish feelings in Libra for instance, nice
feelings that are sweat and emotionally good to know.

I agree and as you get more and more clear you’ll notice these Transits ‘out there’ are the vibrations of the Universe coming to us from the Stars!

There are however, two other aspects of Jyotish or Astrology we need to discover.

Second, are the Dasas.  These represent the subtle currents and shifts of our specific karmas coming to us at every moment.

These, however, are perceived differently then the Transits.

The Dasas often times can be perceived as the subtle shifts in our feelings or emotions.  When you watch the Dasas long enough you’ll be aware that your emotions are ruled by the positives and the negatives of your chart.

These Dasas represent the various shifts in the positive and negative karmic components of our charts flowing to us at every moment.

That’s why Jyotish says pay attention to the Dasas!

If we do and see a very good Dasas period is coming up then we can take better advantage of it!

Of course, we can also see difficult or malefic dasas coming and have the time to deal better with these as well!

Nothings worse then getting swept away with either some period of the Transits or our Dasas.

These planetary powers are also part of our own system within that correlate to the physiology of consciousness directly related within and throughout the
cosmos.

 

I agree, and when you learn to perceive your own personal Transits and Dasas you’ll really feel like you’re supposed to be going through this and that.!

 

The key, of course is learning how to #1 Take better advantage of our Benefic strengths and #2 Change our Malefic problems…also into strengths!

 

So, how to work with them is the point of our interaction.

Saturn for instance; the task master, timing is of essence, meditation
is the best. Befriend this goodness that this master wishes for us to
know, and he will let us know.

 

So, let’s take this as a great focus.

 

Go ahead and identify any quality or flavor of let’s say your experiences of the Dasas, and then lets see if we can

#1 find that flavor or karma, positive or negative; in your chart!

 

Then, we can experiment with Jyotish and Vedic Remedies or Remedial Measures to se if we can change and improve that experience!

It is an art, as it were, to listen to the cycle or rhythm that brings
us here. Karma says that we have come to unfold in our own special way
during the life course. Jyotish will help us to see within, and see our
own Dharma that is to be fulfilled in this life time. This Light within
will show us the way. This is the way it is natural for us human being
to see the light, and to naturally want more of it.

 

Well said!

 

And so that is the promise and the direct experience that is extremely possible due to doing great Jyotish!

 

We want to know who we are!

 

As it turns out, ‘it’ is something Astrological!

 

We are Astrological Beings, living in an Astrological Universe!

 

Voila!

 

Learning to Know this is one of the great, wonderful lessons that we can gain from the study of these Transits.

 

These transits too will help us see ourselves, or our charts more closely next

And then we’ll really begin to get the real Purpose of our Lives!

 

As we discover our true, life purpose; what Jyotish or Vedic Knowledge calls our true Dharma, then we’ll begin finding our self living the life that we were truly meant to live!

"The lamp at the door" will show us the way. Anyone got a match?

He he,… and the match is the pure Wisdom of Jyotish.

It sparks and immediately we see some light!

This is what happens when one has a good, powerful Jyotish reading.

The real role of the Astrologer is to light our match!

If we’ve done that well, then the person feels enlivened!

They feel lit up!

They even may feel blissful, closer to themselves,…

Later we can begin to learn to light our own candles!

Each step where we light our light of pure Jyotish

Within is such an amazing experience.

Now, 19 years later I can honestly say it’s the best thing I’ve ever learned!

I say, best, well maybe meditation is right up there too.

But, when I added Jyotish to my meditation experience;

Now that was an amazing complementary thing!

 

Jai Guru!

Edward
