Re: Vedic Astrology readings for free by me [Re: lillysweet18]

I have always been really curious about why when there are intellectual pursuits which actually have significance why some people waste their entire lives studying archiac shit which will never yield anything of value.

I have heard all the arguments but my sister is an astrologer and she couldn't predict jack. I have known many jyotishis.  I was part of a community of hundreds of meditators of which many of them developed the first jyotish software.

My point is, why waste your life?  I am talking to the OP.

How is it more of a waste than doing anything else?

We are all here using up our moment in the sun.  If that makes him feel good and happy then I don't see what the problem is.  Just don't ask me to believe in that stuff because I don't. :tongue2:

It's just that it is bullshit. If someone likes picking their nose because it makes them feel good we do not allow it.

At the outset astrology lack specific quality or quantity for prediction.  We say, oh one astrologer is intuuitive and accurate and another isn't. Fact is, there can be no accuracy ever under any circumstance because if a person's own intuition isn't working for them nobody can live their life and fix it for them.

It's really mental masturbation. Hey, I masturbate so I can't cross examine the OP if he likes mental masterbation. I just want him to understand he's a jackoff.

I don't care what the rest of the woowoo world says in support. It's a big fucking mental circlejerk.

My real point is that a person could be suing their mind to pursue a musical instrument, arts of love, invention or a whole bunch of things which aren't mental masturbation.

But he likes it Mikey.

You seem a little worked up about this dude.  It's not the end of the world.  (yet) :haha:

Hey, I'll be the first to voice my approval of music, art, love, and a whole bunch O' other things, including mental masturbation, but do you really think it's smart to sue your own mind? What if it seeks retribution? :confused:

About this dude? Or about this, Dude?  I am not worked up about this dude. I am not really worked up in spite of the strident tenor of my hen and pecking. I spent a long long time studying the mystical and magical and have found some experiences and answers. I get a bit frustrated seeing other people chase their tails like I once did though, because for the most part the most spiritual answers I ever found were the most boring and mundane.

You know Icelander, it gets harder and harder to reach people!  I mean even in the work situation. For instance I am a chef. It uszed to be people aspired to learn the routines and methods for becoming a good cook. But now every wanker straight out of culinary junior college knows every fucking recipe ever invented, all from their grandmothers. Forget training. If you tell people to chop holding the knife against the flat of the knuckles at a slight angle away from the body, you come back and they're picking their ear with a chef's knife in front of a swinging door.  (real situ)

That's what studying astrology is. Picking your ear with a chef's knife in front of a swinging door.  Not as dangerous you say?  Fact is, death is rushing towards us all. Each thing you choose to spend your mind on is draining your resources.  Ecologically speaking resources are limited.

I am imploring the OP to use their mind in a way which is advantageous.  I am trying to give solid advice.  But nobody will hear until - what? They stab their ear and then it will be to late for them to hear anything.

:smile:

To late or not to late...that is the real question, ladies and gentlemen. Why should I late their blood-drenched ear when I don't even know how to late?

The only problem with your little rant is you expect us to believe that you know what is important and what is not. What drains your resources and what does not. What is advantageous and what is not. (just like dozens of others here)  And the plain truth is you don't.  You are guessing and speaking for yourself. 

And even if you're right you're not going to stem the tide.  It's not going your way. (or mine) :haha:

Yes, I always thought Nelson put a wonderfully-psychological twist on his bullying.

I don't know what's right or wrong for the OP but I do know astrology is bullshit. But some people like bullshit. If they're from Texass.

Haha, haven't logged in for a long time. Thanks for your input Eve.

I did a good amount of reports on here for a short amount of time, but I got burnt out long ago. I'm no longer doing them. It was just something I did for fun and thought others would find interesting. By no means was I saying astrology is some holy grail. Nor was it a focus of my life. Far from it. In fact you may find it surprising that even I do not take it seriously.

It shows the body/minds constitution in this current incarnation. I don't see anything spiritually liberating about it. In fact its just a practical guideline. Who you are is beyond any thought/interpretation or constitution.
