00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
Good morning ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my podcast.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Quickly wanted to share with you a perspective on astrology.

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:17,000
What is the science of astrology essentially providing you and me with?

4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,000
What is the essence of astrology really?

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:28,000
In Sanskrit the name is called Jyotisha, means the light of God, literally translated.

6
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:36,000
What it means as far as what I am getting now is, it's the unraveling of unconscious or subconscious,

7
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,000
or how we want to term that.

8
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:49,000
The unconscious or the subconscious within us is that buried energy, that hidden energy within us,

9
00:00:49,000 --> 00:01:00,000
which provides us with the sum total of all the experiences, unresolved energies, which is what is called karma basically.

10
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:13,000
It's unresolved energies which we are trying to unravel and bring it to light in this lifetime, in whichever lifetime this is.

11
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:25,000
So it's basically making the subconscious conscious, whatever is hidden you are bringing it to light for yourself to see.

12
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:35,000
This is why it is most important in my opinion to get astrology to be a participation of each and every individual.

13
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:42,000
It's not running to an astrologer but it should be studied by each and every individual for themselves.

14
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Because let's face it, everybody knows themselves only the best.

15
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,000
No astrologer can tell you anything about you better than you.

16
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:59,000
What is your experience of your own talents, abilities, subconscious, fears, doubts, worries, only you know best.

17
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Nobody reveals themselves 100% to anyone in the world.

18
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:09,000
Only about maybe 10% of you, you show it to the outside world.

19
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:16,000
90% of whatever you are, whatever you define as you is pretty much with yourself.

20
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Everybody in the world is a walking talking secret unto the world.

21
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:35,000
But they know themselves and it's that 90% which is hidden, which is subconscious, which you keep to yourself, your deepest secrets, your deepest worries, your deepest tendencies,

22
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,000
which you keep to yourself, which scares the jeepers out of you.

23
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:45,000
It's like, wow, really? I'm about all this stuff or I had all this stuff going on.

24
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Now this explains so and so about myself. That's the study of astrology.

25
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:56,000
It's you unraveling your own unconscious, subconscious to yourself.

26
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:08,000
And in doing that, in doing that exercise, in taking care of yourself in the best possible way, this comes in the area of self care.

27
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:19,000
In my opinion, if you are really caring for yourself, nurturing for yourself, astrology would make an invaluable tool as the beginning point.

28
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,000
It is not the be all and the end all of anything.

29
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Human choice in any given moment is always, always, always the absolute.

30
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:36,000
This is why lifetime's keeps repeating, by the way, because we tend to ignore the concept of free choice.

31
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Even if you know stuff, people will still continue to do the play out the same unconscious tendencies, continue to do the same kinds of things over and over again.

32
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:57,000
That's where free will and free choice comes. Do you step outside that unconscious once that jyotisha or once that light of God is revealed.

33
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Once you study your own astrological chart yourself, take some time to do some studies in terms of the nature, in terms of tendencies, in terms of fears, doubts, worries, in terms of challenges that you might face in life.

34
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:23,000
In all of these things, if you take time and go deep dive into your own astrological chart by yourself, even if you don't know astrology, take time to study it.

35
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Look at your chart and look at all the unconscious buried there. Look at where that karmic pattern is coming from.

36
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:45,000
And if you're up for a challenge, if you're one of those kinds, this is where it can get really interesting for you. This is where it can get revealing for you because you're making the subconscious conscious.

37
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:53,000
You're making the hidden bringing it to light of your own self. It's all about self there.

38
00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:01,000
All the other areas of life come and go, even your first breath ends in a last breath. So everything here is fleeting anyway.

39
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:12,000
One might ask, what am I doing all this thing for in life? Well, this is one of the things which will help you in bringing the hidden subconscious back to conscious.

40
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Everything else is relative. All the ascendants are relative. This is why knowing knowledge is very important.

41
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:29,000
But knowledge, how it is received, even sacred knowledge, even esoteric knowledge, it just depends upon who is participating in it.

42
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:39,000
For example, if I give a book with profound deep knowledge to a butcher, all he will think of is cutting the book in half.

43
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:48,000
If I give it to a businessman or a finance person who's inclined towards making money, he will think, well, what tricks, new tricks can I learn from this book?

44
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,000
That's their tendency. That's the Vaishya or the businessman.

45
00:05:52,000 --> 00:06:03,000
If I give it to somebody who wants to teach, who's a teacher by heart, he will look at the book and he will say, well, what can I learn new things to teach people?

46
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:09,000
If you look at the wise man, he will say, okay, what knowledge can I gain from this?

47
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:18,000
If you give it to the person who's inclined more towards worldly passions, well, he'll say, how can I convert this to attracting people in my life?

48
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,000
You see what I'm saying, knowledge is just a tool.

49
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:33,000
It's the consciousness that participates with that knowledge, touches that knowledge, who will use it according to their own hidden subconscious and unconscious tendencies.

50
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:39,000
That's what the twelve ascendants in the 27 nakshatras basically say, in a sense.

51
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:48,000
What are you tending towards? Where is your direction always seemingly wanting to go?

52
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,000
It's a push and pull kind of energy, right, within ourselves.

53
00:06:53,000 --> 00:07:05,000
The push and pull of the unconscious drives which bring forward from the creation itself those kind of situations people places through time, through our lives.

54
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:11,000
They bring us situations where this has got a stage to play out.

55
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:18,000
It's a stage like Shakespeare said, all the world is a stage and we are all actors in it.

56
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,000
Well, what is acting and why is it playing out like this?

57
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,000
Unless we understand this, how can we move past it?

58
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:35,000
See, the whole advantage of the shift which we must see, which is happening now, is we are moving in a completely different kind of energy.

59
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:40,000
And the rapid pace at which this is happening, we have got chance.

60
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:54,000
We have got a potential to unravel this and move forward in a more holistic way, in a more better way, in a way that is more compassionate, more kind, more inclusive rather than exclusive.

61
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:05,000
Less separatists, less trying to put blame or shame or guilt or anger or any one of these things around us, around the people, around nations and so on and so forth.

62
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:22,000
So we are trying to build or rebuild a civilization that is higher in its evolution, that is higher in its capacity to be a loving kind civilization.

63
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:28,000
But it begins with us as individuals really speaking, because it's always individual choice.

64
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:42,000
Each of us, if we make the choice to learn this science and to understand it just as an unraveling of subconscious, of the hidden unconscious patterns,

65
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:51,000
it will be better, you will make better decisions, you will make better choices in life, in whatever ascendant you are born in, it doesn't matter.

66
00:08:51,000 --> 00:09:01,000
You will feel more of yourself, you will feel more of what you are here really to do and the best authority on that is you.

67
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:09,000
Like I said, you only reveal 10% of who you are to everybody around you, doesn't matter which stage of life you are in.

68
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,000
90% of you, you keep it with you always.

69
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:18,000
Everybody is a walking talking secret, so you need to do it yourself.

70
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:27,000
This is a self-done thing, this is what my recommendation to you is, don't go running to astrologers, try to study astrology yourself.

71
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:33,000
If you want more stuff, I have put some stuff on my YouTube channel, you can go through that.

72
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:49,000
But this is the essence of it, alright? Take care, be safe, have a good day.
