Forgiveness

Why that is so difficult to forgive someone after our growing up?
Why we can not be like children to forgive who treats us bad?
Why we just remember the bad/negative side of a person and we do not see his positive/bright side?
Why we have to give our revenges back to who treats us bad?

Do not let any emotion stay in our inside bodies when something impacts us.
It is going to be a burden if we let emotion stay in ours.
Some will have ideas of revenge if they have the negative thought.
The only way to let emotion go is forgiveness.

When we can forgive someone, our hearts can be opened for the new world.

**********
 Prayer for Those Who Suffer:

For those who suffer,
and those who cry this night,
give them repose, Lord;
a pause in their burdens.
Let there be minutes where they experience peace, not of man but of angels.
Love them, Lord,
when others cannot.
Hold them, Lord,
when we fall with human arms.
Hear their prayers and give them the ability to hear You back in whatever language they best understand.

Political changes in some countries, violence, war, conflict, accidents/crash, food shortage, disease, sad, severe jolts to the financial market we may expect.
The natural calamities (magma from volcano, earthquake, fire (natural/human made (explosions)), storm, flood, tsunami , tornado, etc.) we shall keep a watchful eye on.
Some countries will be drought and some will be in flood.

China may have the problems related to trading companies, food, and money.

Lending a hand

Mercury moves in Virgo from September 13th to October 1st, 2012. There are good opportunities for Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces ascendants.

Releasing the inner pains

Releasing the inner pain is one of the steps of letting the ego go away.

From childhood to now, we may face many times to get our inner hearts/feeling hurt. "You are not beautiful." "You are so heavy to make the car sink." "You are not better than your elder/younger brother/sister." "Why do you not accept me?" ...

At the end of the day, we may usually response "Not too bad" or "I am survived" when someone asks "How was your day".
It looks like that a good day means you made it without getting hurt.

We usually protect our sensitive parts, hide them, close the heart down, and live behind our protective shields though our physical bodies are not attacked. The slightest little thing causes you to overreact.

Our psyche are built on avoiding the pain and it will be create our fear. Our behavior patterns are base on the avoidance of pain and the heart is that you feel the pain from. 

We may think "The dog does not like me any more." if we have a bad day, call the dog to come, and the dog does not come. Why do we feel the pain on whether the dog comes or not? We feel the pain because we have a bad day. Why do we feel a bad day? Because co-worker did the actions of misbehavior to me. Because my girlfriend/boyfriend did not answer my call. Because ...

We need to understand what points block our spiritual growth. What parts we protect and not want to free.
We will never grow if we try to protect ourselves perfectly.
We have to expose them It is no matter how much pain creating we will catch, we are willing to pay the price to free ourselves.

The days to do fast are every Saturday, sunrise Saturday to sunrise Sunday, from July 21th to Nov. 3rd, 2012.

You may do Saturn fast if you are in the difficult time, or in Sade Sati.

There are two fast ways. One is half fast that we should not eat anything and drink water, juice, and fruit if needed during daylight. Eat a simple vegetarian meal without meat, fish, eggs, chicken, grains, and salt after Sunset. Avoid alcohol. Another is full fast. Only water, fruit, and juice can be taken. Avoid alcohol.
If you are unable to do fast, you just eat pure vegetarian and avoid alcohol.

Don't worry about what people think of you. Think about what people experience through you.

from Spiritual Awakenings.

Reflection

Have you ever stood in the front of mirror? How do you think a person in the mirror is? You like yourself or you are so afraid you watch a person in the mirror.  Do you like your appearance? Do you like your voice? Do you know you are self abased? How do you think yourself ?


Someone said "People around us reflect what we did or our actions.".
What smart words they are. When I was young, I did not really understand the meaning.


When you are in blue mood, you think people around you are unhappy.
When you are angry, you think people around you anger at you.


Why do we not like some individuals?
How do we feel about ourselves in the presence of those persons?
Ask ourselves what emotions come up inside of us.
It will be so evident that those persons make us feel a certain way we do not like.
They just reflect ourselves/what we did/our actions.
They can not make us feel anything negative because they do not have such the power.
Who has such the power? Ourselves.
If you feel the negative emotion, it is because that emotion is already within us.

June, 2012

A partial lunar eclipse happens on June 4, 2012.

The Sun and Venus will conjoin at 18:59 EST on June 5th, 2012 (Some countries will be on June 6th, 2012.).

Mercury moves in Gemini from June 4th to June 21th. This is a relief for Gemini and Virgo ascendants.
Jupiter will conjoin with Ketu on July 2nd, 2012 (in true) or June 27th, 2012 (in mean). Those two days may not be good for Sagittarius and Pisces ascendants and they shall go off past issues and move forward.

Mars will move in Virgo from June 21th to August 13th, 2012. Aries and Scorpio ascendants shall have proper plannings to move ahead/forward.

We may think our roles in the material world. We may have the desire of simple life. We may have some unrealistic ideals. The government may need to listen some financial advisers.

Love is the essential reality on earth

‎

‎"Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it.. to experience love in ourselves and others.. is the meaning of life. Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us."

Garaha Jupiter

Jupiter in Sanskrit is Guru or Brahaspati. Brahaspati is the teacher of the Gods.

Jupiter is the lord of Sagittarius and Pisces, which are Dwiswabhava (common) signs. The element (tattwas) of Jupiter is Ether. Jupiter is exalted at 5 degrees Cancer and debilitated at 5 degrees Capricorn. The day of week ruled by Jupiter is Thursday, Guruwar.

Jupiter is the planet of truth and not lack. A strong Jupiter is looking for a better quality of life. People of Jupiter (Jupiterians) have the ability to speak words after they have considered. Jupiter is also linked with the higher forms of knowledge.
