Ohhhh IQH, I wanted to ask you about something. How do you see 'Karma'? The whole idea is something that has never sat well with me. I'm curious, whats your take on it? Thanks.

Here it is again:

I have tons of info on Karma but know absolutely nothing for sure
Except that Karma does have a huge impact and there could be some ways to circumvent it by righteous acts. The trick is if it can be done mentally and for all the lifetimes [past/present/future].

But I will put together all the speculations. Maybe this weekend. I already posted some to Salome a few months back, will go thur that and update.

Natural is always the best way. The purpose of meditation is to ultimately balance out the mind & body, but for this to happen we shouldnt place any restraint or restriction upon the images we recieve. Often, the mere act of placing liimits on our mind can induce a less than comfortable meditative process, which in your own words 'defeats the purpose of it'! The process should be enjpyable, relaxing, invigorating, and hopefully if you take it as lightly as I do - full of spontaneous laughter!

The Tao Teh Ching inspired me in my meditative approach, it said in so many words:- Seek to be as supple as a baby.
In other words, dont feel you need to impose strict rituals, dont limit yourself to one body position where you are afraid to move for fear of interrupting the meditation, and dont seek to impose a 'controlled' state of mind. Rituals imply less versaility and suppleness, Rigidity of body impplies less versatility and suppleness, Control of mind implies... well you guessed.

Meditation is essentially just time you spend with yourself. Allow any image to float by in your mind, give it a smile if you like! The images are essential, because when you become comfortable with their flow, you can then start viewing them in a detached way gaining more insight into their nature. You start to realise how each and every one of your thoughts came from, why they came. Its should be a fun process, after all, you are getting to know yourself better, and by knowing yourself, you begin to know those things outside of yourself.

Eventually, after you have been meditating for a while, the volume of images will decrease, this is only because you become more balanced, the energy is not 'floating around' up there any more, it is gliding like a river through your every pore. Yes, be like a baby, have a good laugh, make meditation creative and spontaneous - versatile intent will bring versatility.

I will have a look at your chart after I've slept, its been a long night!!

"Chakra rituals - haha!! I am SO unorganised! Evene though I have a virgo ascendent, I kind of take every moment as it comes. Im not aware of having any rituals, I dont light candles, set an atmosphere or prepare in any way. You see, sometimes my chakras will just start 'throbbing' at random times - like when Im watching tv, walking in the street, or talking with friends. So my chakra meditations dont actually LOOk like meditations to other people a lot of the time, because it can happen anywhere. There are times when I lie down and relax, then meditate, but a lot of the time I just take it as it comes."

yes this is "natural" meditation to me.this is what i do but then i doubted myself and experimented with more structured meditation and well, it was awful, for me anyways.
when i meditate i see images but also waves and waves of color.my begining image is always a mandala type image and then lightening emerges from the center and color sequences begin with random images.

I'm so sorry I have taken longer to come back to you than I first said, the last couple of days have been - wow hectic. I could really use some of that fun meditation right now, but things just keep coming! I've tried clicking on your chart, and it says its expired, could you post it up again, or leave your birth details please? Thanks I'll check back here later today, I'm very interested in looking at your chart!

Suddenly, the tears dry up and dashes off for the cricket highlights of an India Pakistan match....)

I think boys will be boys...

Meanwhile, just came across an asteroid named "Karma". The number allocated for it is 3811 which is very much reminiscent of 11:11, the much discussed opening of spiritual doorways.

Some very fascinating astrology lies hidden in mythical Asteroids. On Tsunami day, Chiron was not just exactly opposite Saturn but also an asteroid named MERLIN in 25 Cancer. KARMA was in the exact MC!!
Interestingly, the "Beast" Aleister Crowley also has Merlin in 25 Cancer.
Crowley also has my ultimate equation for mysticism/psychic powers:
(Heavily Aspected Moon) Aspecting (Heavily Aspected Pallas), being discussed in the Calirvoyance string. Not a bad fortnights work of spiralling eh, BG? We have gone from Chakras, IChing, Varuna, Golden Ratio, Astrological Correlations, Asteroids to Karma [and ultimately Football winning over a Massage!!!]

I searched for the energies IQH and myself talked about ealier in this thread. It is not especially common to find these energies (I dont think I have any in my chart) because they fall on such exact measurements.

But, in your Mercury cycle, you have your Sun in the 54 energy, 5th line, the strongest position - This was the energy that we talked about in reference to 'the realising of potential'. It is symbolic of a coupling of inner yin/yang forces to actualise a more heightened sense of awareness and reality.

One of the reasons I have stressed the rarity of the I Chings 'yin/yang balancing aspects'. is because I believe the IC is from a place where all energy is unified. In this place, there ecists no such concept as 'opposition' and 'polarisation'. Quantum physics have been searching for the holy grail of unified energy for nearly a century. The I Ching is a representation of the separation of this ONE-NESS, and explains the interaction of the resulting polarised fragments. So its basically saying "I am whole, although these are the fragmented pieces of my whole, this is how my whole dynamically interacts, can you put me back together again? "

So these particular aspects of yin/yang harmonisations (like the 54 5th line you have) are like a catalyst for the re-integration of the fragments .. to merge back into the whole. In scientific terms, this would be like the unification of all known forces, qauntum energy would no longer be polarised but be liberated in creative joy, and in spiritual terms it would be like saying a more heighetened awareness because your being is functioning on higher levels.

I'm not saying that people with these particular aspects will achieve higher awareness, I'm just pointing out what they represent in our psyche, and those who possess them MAY have a more intuitive understanding of the potential they can achieve in this lifetime.

BG, I was into asteroids last week. I just discovered something cool about us. We both have Osiris and Isis asteroids conjunct.
Mine is 27 Leo and yours at 22 Leo. However, in your chart, it is even more cool because this conjunction sextiles your True Node perfectly (TN 22 Libra)

In general, could this aspect lead to a natural inclination to study the Divine Feminine?

More from your chart:
Asteroid Atlantis in 4 Virgo trines Chiron in 4 Taurus.
Asteroid HORUS in 8 Capricorn sextiles Uranus in 8 degrees Scorpio.

If you dont mind telling us, was January 2005 very stressful or life changing in a drastic or intense way? It was for me and the asteroid Karma was conjuncting my True Node in that point of time.

In a few months, Karma will be transiting our Natal Karma.
March for me, April for you and for Accoustic God it will be transiting True Node in April!

And I am gonna be the guinea pig

Found another superb link: http://www.caduceus.info/archive/Astrology/ast_archive2002.htm

Issue 54 is the one.

The asteroids Isis and Osiris are conjunct in Capricorn, and sextiled by Uranus. The asteroid Karma has just completed the transit. Natal Venus is exactly opposed to Natal Karma, so this transit of asteroid Karma beyond your Natal Venus and just over these two "Soul Mate" asteroids is extremely significant.

Did you find anyone recently who could turn out to your be Karmic Love/Soulmate ? Or were some issues completely sorted out so that you are on your way to finding love?
Full moon to transit your Natal Moon in Leo tomorrow. Your next few days could be the focal point for studying asteroid transits
Please share any good news!!!!!!

Also transit Chiron is exactly conjunct PALLAS, an asteroid linked with psychic powers and inner wisdom. Your inner wisdom is going to be healed and definitely enhanced.

Karma! - Karma is something that I've never 'quite' agreed with in its traditional form. In spiritual circles, Karma is one of the major principles or talking points. Okay, lets clarify what Karma actually IS - The idea that every action we have has a 're-action'. It is very much like causal determinism in old newtonion science - causal determinism means that an 'effect' can only arise from a 'cause', hence if anyone has seen the movie 'The Matrix', you will hear the french guy talking about 'cause and effect' a lot So if we consider the term 'bad karma', it would mean that you would not want to actively do anything bad to another person, otherwise it will come back to you as a loop - bad karma brings bad karma. And therefore, people say the try to balance their bad karma with their good karma, which is just another way of saying 'I will do good acts to balance my bad acts'.

So people in spiritual circles will advise you to smile upon the hatred of others - in being hated, do not hate back. They will advise you to forgive those who do wrong against you, because then this person will not have to 'repay' karma to you in this life or the next. Or they will simply advise you to love everyone, otherwise you will have to 'repay' karma to others in this lifetime or the next.

I seriously think Buddhas teachings about Karma were misunderstood.

First of all, if we return to the subject of cause and effect, or what science terms 'causal determinism', then this law is no longer functional in our scientific world. Newtonian physics has been proved completely wrong by modern advances in quantum physics - the world isnt like a perfectly balanced set of scales - if we add a teaspoon of sugar on this side of the scales, then to balance it we should add a teaspoon of sugar on the other side! It doesnt work like this! This is the mechanistic view, its like viewing the world from the perspective of a giant clock, everything has to be 'ordered'.

Quantum physics has recently shown that ALL atoms in the universe are interconnected, consciousness is not something that is derived from neurons in the brain, but consciousness is like a universal mind. The new physics isnt perfectly balanced and symmetrical, instead it is dynamic and assymetrical, it is a creative caludron of energy that is reactive to our very thoughts! Therefore, the 'laws' of the universe only exist as they do at the moment (gravity, orbiting planets, limitations of the speed of light) because we EXPECT them to behave like this! We still dont realise the potential we all possess to influence the universe around us.

Now, heres the nagging point of Karma for me - From my experience, people try to 'balance their karma' because they do not want 'bad karma' in their own fate. So when they forgive some for hating or doing wrong to them, then they forgive them because they want to eradicate the effect of a karma return; they dont forgive because they have understood the situation well enough to have an open heart to offer a benevolent hand. And when someone is nice to another person, they do this because they do not want 'bad karma' to accumulate, and run the risk of future karmic events in this life time or the next, so AGAIN they will offer a warm hand to their fellow man, but this warm hand is from the motives of self-preservation, rather than a moment to moment impulse of good spirit. So what are we left with? Well, we are left with a bunch of acts that do not reflect the true feeling of the moment, instead they are masked over with falsities in the name of 'good karma'. In essence, Karma invokes FEAR in people to do GOOD to one another - where is the love and spontanuity in that??!

I'm not saying ALL people who believe in Karma think this way, but MANY do, this is one of the reasons why the wonderful religion of Buddhism is in such bad ways. The wisdom Buddhism contains is immense and profound, yet the application of this wisdom is sorrowful and morbid - they are focused on a path of serious contemplative reasoning, rather than spontaneous joyful adventure!

You see, the truths we are now finding out in science are mirroring the intuitive feelings that many people have felt all their lives. There IS a universal consciousness, there ARE such things as telepathy and telekinesis, science can now explain these as a reality. You do not need to know a single gram of scientific mumbo jumbo to understand everything science has discovered - because most people who are spiritually inclined have been FEELING all of these things for years, yet science has just observed them logically - but still, the correlations between the mind and heart are already beginning, there is a merging of our consciousnes beginning now, and its exciting times!

Karma Question:- If we are all connected to one another, if all matter in the universe is indeed ONE, like a giant organism, but with different expressions... then WHY do we have to 'repay' Karma to a specific part of that whole. Imagine an ocean, and everything in the universe IS that ocean, then that would mean we could release our worries, our 'bad karma' in ANY part of that ocean, because... it is STILL THE OCEAN, everything is interconnected, so all parts touch all other parts. Why have we adopted the idea that for karma to be 'balanaced' then we have to search for a specific fish in that ocean, and then repay the deed to the fish. Looking at it from this perspective - this is saying the fish is SEPARATE from the ocean, and therefore the fish is not part of the universe.

I do believe in Karma, though a slightly different form. I think Karma can be repaid anytime, anywhere, without rule, without limit, without fear!! We are our own creative masters. And if we are aware of bad things we have done in the past, then we dont have to seek out the people we have done them to, we just need to forgive ourselves, release the energy back into 'the ocean' and it immediately connects with the other person! No matter where they are in time or space... its very much like the entanglement and quantum nonlocality we were talking about before.

This is a small incident. Like this 100s of events occured. Whenever I pointed a finger or judged someone, I would go through what I pointed out.

It happens for negative thoughts too. If I was arrogantly proud and possessive about an object, happy that no one else had it, then such material would either break down, stop functioning properly or in worst cases would get mysteriously stolen. Conversely, when something would be misplaced or stolen and I had not anything to deserve that, a better product would arrive mysteriously as a gift or whatever. This has happened for objects as seemingly insignificant as pencils and erasers to complex calculators, computer peripherals and later in life to equipment costing 100s of 1000s of dollars. I think of ruining a competitor, my equipment fuse would blow. I think of helping someone, I get a huge bargain. Like clockwork it used to happen.

I did not know about Karma and Spiritual stuff properly till aged 27 so this Law clearly works on those who believe it and those who dont.

My research on a coterie ruling the world called "Illuminati" shows that these folk dont exactly get hit by Karma like commoners. Thats where some loopholes were shown to exist, clarified by some Tantra Masters. (I learnt later on that they do suffer. Kennedy family is an example)

According to them Karma works only when you Self Identify with your thought, words or deeds. Thus, a Master can even commit a murder but escape karma if he did it without his ego identification. Meaning, no emotion at all, no joy, no sorrow, no justification. THis is impossible for ordinary folk. I later read that these Masters used to supervise a better birth for such murdered people by sacrificing some of their positive energy. Needless to say, such murders are of lite leaders and done not through knives or pistols but through some very weird rituals on crtain astrological placements.

Beings exist who sacrifice millions for causing evoluion on Earth. They dont seem to have karmic burdens but from some Hermetic works, I could find that their escape from Karmic Laws is not permanent, but seems to be. If they mess up in the reasons for their acts, their punishments from their HIgher Selves are far more stringent, and their level of evolution makes them cheerfully undertake them.

Doing a good act just from fear of bad karma may add 1 point to the positive energy scale but doing so unconditionally might add 1000s of points. So the wise forget about Karma. For them, it rightfully can be said that it does not exist because they act self lessly and hence the Karmic burden cannot stick.

Many yogis teach methods of mentally burning accumulating the negative thought patterns of previous lives that lead to acting badly and inviting bad karmic consequences.

Karma does not work in the Level of God SOurc or the OCean of Reality, it works as a necessary Energy balancing tool in this illusion of Physical Reality which is necesary for God to Know Himself to His satisfaction. Similarly, in states of absolutely pure concentration when the mind is focused on the Wholeness of God, Cosmos and the Void, no karma is possible.

It is always like this, gifted people have to undergo additional mental trauma to toughen up and be ready to avail higher doeses of Energy from HigherSelf. Once you are on the Spiritual SuperHighway, it is only fourth gear and no brakes. You have to reach the finish line in one piece, no other options. But you wont crash because your HigherSelf is a perfect guide.

Bone Marrow transplants have a good success rate but the treatment will weaken your mother. She must try increasing Vitamin C intake for adding immune strength. I posted this link for Lady Macbeth's friend too who is about to take Chemotherapy.
http://www.vitamincfoundation.org/vitcancer.htm

I have taken 10 grams of Vitamin C in a day, no bad effects whatsoever. I am taking 10 grams today too, it heals sore muscles rapidly after my madman workouts, so imagine how much it would heal weakened cells of the entire body.

Your highs and lows are only because of excess Spiritual Energy. You need to ground yourself mentally. No suicidal thoughts please! Suicide will undo several lifetimes of good penance done to attain this spiritual state.
Yes, you are on the verge of utilizing psychic gifts. Your Part of Forune is in Aquarius so you will succeed in offbeat and inventive kind of work.
