3 Most Overlooked Factors of Why Your Life is the Way it is

Leave a reply

The bulk of self-empowerment coaches and motivational speakers tell you that there are only two main elements that matter in getting what you want in life:

1. Taking positive action
2. Thinking positive thoughts (to attract what you want)

If it were only that easy. There is no shortage of those who do both and fail to live the life of their dreams.

Limited Viewpoint

Such an approach to life is based on a belief that your life circumstances are only the result of two things: what happens in your life; and your response to what happens in your life.

The latter is a presumption based on the idea that if you react the right way to what you encounter in life, you can easily create any reality you want. We are firm believers of the notion that you can make the most of your life, largely by how you handle and capitalize on your life circumstances, but there’s more to it than that.

The former can imply a type of victim consciousness. For example, if your lover cheated on you, would you consider that you (from a spiritual perspective) and the unrealistic expectation of blissful, mutually fulfilling, life-long monogamy may have just as much to do with the issue as she does, or would you take the most common approach (e.g., “poor me”) and blame her entirely?

Expand Your Horizons

If you want to understand more about yourself, why you are here, and how you can best serve the world and yourself, you must look beyond the scope of this single lifetime. Accepting the eternity of your soul, thus the theory of reincarnation, you realize that you have unfinished business (in “bad” and “good” ways) from multiple lifetimes and this is why you (your soul) have returned to Earth.

However, don’t worry about the possibility of being the villain in your past lives because everyone has played that role. As part of a tribe of conquerors during the Middle Ages, for example, you may have raided a village, unmercifully made the captors your slaves and weren’t very kind to them. However, you also saved many lives and helped to defeat an oppressive ruler. What goes around comes around.

Missing Keys

Our empirical research involving personality analysis, cyclical timing assessment (prediction and forecasting), past life regression, and predestination has shown us that there are three commonly overlooked facets to your reality:

1. Your karmic blueprint, which includes your past life debts and credits (whether you choose to believe in past lives or see them as symbolism, they still mirror and affect your reality today, as we’ve seen in countless case studies), as well as key, current life circumstances and personality characteristics, some alterable, and some not.

2. Your unique timing, which is linked to your karmic blueprint/life structure. Everyone’s timing is different, and everyone progresses (or regresses) through multitudes of cycles of various lengths, of which the energy may or may not be conducive to the fulfillment of their goals. Spiritually speaking, the goal is often less important than what is learned through attempting to fulfill the goal.

3. Your compatibility with others is reflected largely by your karmic blueprint and timing, which holds the keys to how you knew each other in the past, what needs to be learned this time, and more.

Everyone of significance in your life has an enduring cosmic link to you and you’ve likely spent time with them in multiple past lives, in various roles. How you get along now is a sign to how things were back then.

All three can be discerned in the comprehensive astrology and numerology charts and, or an intuitive reading, and handwriting analysis can be used to uncover subconscious character.

Perhaps the reason why these concepts are over-looked so frequently is because it’s complicated enough to deal with this life without seriously contemplating the spiritual reasons for life’s dilemmas.

But life becomes less complicated as you learn more about who you really are and your journey this time around. All the unimportant stuff melts away as you align yourself with your highest path and you can then capitalize on your timing to make the most of your life.

We readily agree that your attitude and proactive behavior can take you far, but there’s so much more to it than that, in our view.

Avoid Vedic/Sidereal Zodiac Astrology Trap


Leave a reply
Share Button

Avoid the astrology trap of using the Sidereal zodiac exclusively (or practitioners who do) or risk vast inaccuracies.

You’ve always thought that you had a Sagittarius Sun sign, but then you’re confused when a friend shows you a “cooler” form of astrology, one which totally changes what you thought you knew about your basic natal chart. You think, “How can I have a Scorpio Sun?” You don’t.

Sidereal zodiac (the zodiac of constellations) advocates will tell you, “…but Sidereal is the ‘oldest astrology,’ it’s the basis for Hindu astrology!”

While it is the basis for Hindu astrology, functional Chaldean and Greek predate horoscopic Hindu/Vedic/Jyotish/Indian, and evidence shows that Hindu horoscopic astrology borrowed heavily from these cultures.

You’re not alone if you’ve fallen for a smooth-talking Internet marketer telling you that she’ll help you fix all your problems if you buy her products and services based on the Sidereal zodiac. Her getting testimonials from big, recognizable names (who happen to use the same publishers in many cases) means that she has a good P.R. machine, that’s all.

How to Escape This Trap

We recommend using the Tropical zodiac (and practitioners who do) instead as the primary zodiac. This is the zodiac of Western astrology and it’s what you’ll find at most non-Eastern astrology sites.

While we’re sure there exist talented astrologers in India who rely upon the Sidereal zodiac and have shaped their systems to be efficient in the real world, we have yet to encounter an American, European or other Western astrologer who uses the Sidereal zodiac exclusively and offers even consistently semi-acceptable accuracy rates.

If the practitioner who uses Sidereal is very psychic and, or has developed their own unique, reliable system using it, then perhaps they might be able to obtain consistently high accuracy. But our experience since the 1980s tells us that they don’t exist in America or anywhere else in the Western world.

Your “Real” Signs

It must be said that you won’t find your “real Ascendant/Rising sign” (or “real Sun sign,” or “real Moon sign,” etc.) by using the Sidereal zodiac.

Make no mistake: you won’t find out “…what sign you really are…” using the Sidereal zodiac (basis for Hindu/Vedic/Jyotish/Indian astrology), and it isn’t the “…true zodiac.” Don’t fall for this nonsense.

Sidereal Zodiac Origins

Usage of the Sidereal zodiac is from an era when practitioners had an inadequate understanding of the realities of our planet and solar system. It was already developed (in a very rough form) before the origins of horoscopic astrology.

The origins of the actual precise astrological horoscope (horoscopic astrology), which includes the Ascendant or Rising sign, etc. is traced back to Hellenistic Egypt (about 330 BC – 30 BC). Prior to this time (when the Hindus adopted horoscope astrology), our findings show that Hindu astrology was essentially an ambiguous spiritual philosophy, without distinct means for explicit delineation and prediction.

The Hindus borrowing the functional horoscope, which includes the Ascendant/Rising sign, from other cultures is certainly acceptable, but using the Sidereal zodiac in conjunction with it results in some technical concerns, as outlined below.

The Sidereal Zodiac system is based on fixed stars, hence the problem. We attach importance to the fixed stars, but we don’t like how the Sidereal system links the degrees of the Ecliptic to them.

The True Ascendant

The true Ascendant (Rising sign), in our opinion, is where the Eastern horizon intercepts the Ecliptic. This is so in the Tropical zodiac system, but not the Sidereal. Using that system, due to the current 20+ degree difference between the zodiacs, you’ll likely have a different Ascendant, Sun sign, and Moon sign, among other differences.

Precession

Due to precession, there exists the current 20+ degree discrepancy between the Tropical and Sidereal zodiacs, but it’s only a concern with transits and other superficial timing indicators. The natal calculations are absolutely valid under Tropical, in our opinion. Anyway, you can always adjust Tropical zodiac transit charts, lunar return charts, solar return charts and other methods that are altered due to precession.

Complicated Forms of Astrology

Furthermore, while the techniques of Hindu, or Vedic astrology are said by some proponents to be “more complicated” than those of modern Western astrology, they aren’t more complicated in the least than the collective methods of ancient astrology, including those of Chaldean, Greek, Egyptian, Arabic, and others.

Real Astrology Symbolizes Personal Fate

The more deeply a practitioner objectively explores the science of astrology, instead of trying to find ways to manipulate life to one’s desire (e.g., “getting astrologically unstuck and finding and keeping the love of your life”), what is really discovered is that the comprehensive charts symbolize immutable fate–predestination. Although you can’t turn your charts into a magic genie who will grant all of your wishes, self- understanding, thus acceptance is obtainable.

We accept Sidereal zodiac astrology as an alternative, yet we believe the Tropical zodiac is optimum for precision. We recommend you seek out astrologers who are well-versed in the Topical zodiac, which is the basis for Western astrology. Also, due to proven, more reliable methods, you’re better off hiring astrologers who favor ancient rather than modern astrology, as we’ve detailed in many articles.

6 More Spiritual Protection Tricks

Leave a reply

Cosmic debris is everywhere, and if you’re not careful and don’t protect yourself, it can interfere with your life and cause havoc. Capitalize on your spiritual and mind power and make the most of your life within the framework of your unique destiny and karma by employing potent spiritual protection techniques.

Since we encounter other-dimensional energies, some positive, others not so positive, on a regular basis, we have learned how to interpret the level of benevolence and protect ourselves to avoid disruption and interference.

Apply the 6 methods below to make your life more Light-filled, peaceful, and hassle free.

Purifying Fireball

Imagine a massive, searing, white Light fireball slowly moving up from your feet through your energy field, and beyond your physical body above you. Allow it to take with it all the dark energy and cosmic garbage you might have picked up during your day.

Protective White Light Force-field

The concept is similar to the one above, but this stays with you and provides a protective barrier. Just make sure to allow positive, loving energy in.

White Light Downpour

Allow a concentrated, broad laser-beam of white Light to pour down on you, filling every living cell with purifying energy. It’s so potent, it even makes the ground under you glow.

Cut The Dark Cords

Imagine any and all harmful emotions and energies with and, or connected to you as dark cords leading to the original source. Meditate and imagine, along with a protective white Light surrounding you, these threatening cables being pulled together and lined up in front of you, miles into the distance. Then manifest an enormous guillotine of white Light coming down from the sky, severing the festering mess like a knife through butter. The cords will writhe and thrash about, losing their energy force (which was sapping your power), as you cleanly pull the gory roots out of your energetic body (particularly from your gut/solar plexus). Immediately fill the space left by the cords with brilliant, healing, white Light. Some of these negative cords were with you since you were a kid, some are new, and many are links to those from the past and are no longer needed. Get in the habit of staying cord-free.

White Light Sword

After a radio interview we did last year, that night, while in a meditative state, Scott was approached by an aggressive demon. The figure appeared to be warning him to stay away from the new friend, the radio host. Scott was more annoyed than fearful and successfully employed the white Light sword technique to fend off the aggressor.

Keep this multi-purpose spiritual instrument ready on your hip. It extends as far as needed, even many thousands of miles, and you’re always prepared to bat away, preferably to the Light, any spiritual interference or use it to help those in need (if they have your permission). But remember to only use it in defense, and not in a harmful way (unless they’re really asking for it- joking!).

Forest Meditation

Here’s a brief exercise you can use to become more grounded, protected, and aware at the same time. Focus your energy at your breastplate or third eye area. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths in through your nose, then exhale through your mouth. Visualize yourself walking down a path in a beautiful forest full of huge redwood trees. Stop and sit with your back against one of these majestic trees. Feel the tree’s energy. Notice how the tree climbs way up into the sky, and is also grounded deep into the

Earth with its roots. Now feel the sun’s rays shining down on you, surrounding and protecting you. Bask in the sunshine. Feel the warm breeze. Now notice how you’re surrounded by beautiful red, orange, yellow, pink, light blue, dark blue, and violet flowers. If you’d like, imagine a friendly animal approaching and giving you an insightful message–feel or listen for their thoughts/words. You can visit this peaceful, safe place any time you feel the need or desire.

Get creative in developing your spiritual protection devices. Remember, your imagination and the power of belief will make them real. Make a daily habit of it and you’ll stay free of cosmic junk.

Psychic Protection Tricks

It’s always a good idea to remember to spiritually protect yourself. Just as there is filth in the physical world, spiritual debris is everywhere. Thoughts are things, they create your reality within the framework of your personal karma and fate, and you can capitalize on this mind dynamic to your great advantage.

We both frequently encounter lost souls and other various other-dimensional energies, most often when we are in semi-sleep or meditative states in our respective homes.

Spirit Visitations

Stephen recently moved into a new home and has been visited by several lost souls, some harmless and some not so nice. One of them thought it was funny to slowly drag the covers off him on three separate occasions in the early morning hours. Since the home was new and never lived in, he wasn’t expecting so much spiritual activity. But after learning that the area was full of crack houses 5-10 years ago, it made sense. He later found out that two neighbors have also experienced unusual activity in their homes, such as hearing heavy footsteps on wood floors in the middle of the night, door handles rattling, and their cats appearing to have strong reactions to unseen energies.

Addictions Keep Spirits Earthbound

In our experience, drug and alcohol (or other addictive or fear-based activity) infested areas attract earth-bound and dark energies who are looking for the related fix. They were addicted before they left their bodies and stick around looking for more instead of going to “the light.”

This theory, along with weakened defenses due to excess, explains why some addicts can have multiple lost souls feeding off their compulsion. Personality changes, hearing voices in or outside of your head that offer off-putting, even destructive ideas and having sudden cravings that you didn’t have before are some clues to spirit attachment (which is common) or spirit possession (which is rare). An extreme case of possession would be like the Exorcist, which was exaggerated (head spinning around, etc.), but who hasn’t been involved with an ex who behaved this way (kidding)?

Parade of Entities and Souls

Before Scott’s neighbor relocated about 1.5 years ago, he would regularly see a parade of spiritual activity through his bedroom late at night. It seemed as though the spirit hitch-hikers who were with this respectful and pleasant, yet hard-drinking neighbor would get bored and wander over. One happened to be a slouching, depressed-looking, slowly wandering-by youth with what looked like dyed blond hair who may have been a suicide victim. Energetically guiding the soul to the light with a telepathic message “there’s nothing to fear” appeared to help the soul move on. Many others shielded their eyes with dark sunglasses to mask one of the blatant marks of sinister energy: shadowy, ill-looking, and dark, or red eyes.

We expect that many of you have similar stories, especially if you are spiritually sensitive and, or your spiritual disciplines keep you half on the other side most of the time.

Along with using a healing audio to keep the space clear and himself protected, Stephen began using a new technique to guard against any stray souls who wandered in during the middle of the night. The following, along with some preferred by Scott, are techniques that can work for you too. The more often you visualize the images, or just trust that they are there, the easier it will be to do and the more real it will become.

4 Psychic Protection Tricks

White Light Tornado

Every night before bed, visualize or feel a huge (always clockwise) white Light tornado filling your bedroom, home, and car, taking away dark energy, sending it to the Light, and leaving behind a clear, peaceful, and energized space.

Posts of White Light with Crystals

Visualize or feel posts of white Light with crystals in each of the four corners of your room and home, with white Light walls connecting them. Then do the same for your bed. You can even ask guides (of the Light!), Archangel Michael or Archangel Raphael to stand guard for you. After doing this for several days you may actually feel the crystal and Light barrier around your bed as very soothing yet energizing and healing.

White Light Metal Detector

Visualize a protective white Light metal detector similar to the kind found at airports, to scan and screen all energies entering your home or personal space. Ask for spiritual security guards of the Light to help make sure only positive energy gets through.

White Light Pentagram

At least twice daily, draw a huge pentagram in imaginary white Light under you and around you. Due to the power of your mind, belief, and repetition, this powerful force-field will become real. In the very least, it will engage your subconscious mind to help you avoid attracting negativity.

You have free will to use the above techniques or generate your own unique spiritual protection methods. It’s within your power to protect yourself from other-dimensional trash and be clear, calm, and happy so that you can make the most of your life, within your fate.

Modern Astrology Folly, part III

Leave a reply

Imagine, an astrologer (who is widely known and seen as an “authority” in modern astrology circles) tells you, “You have potential to be a famous actor. But if you don’t strive to become one in the right ways, you’ll wallow in obscurity.”

Translation: that astrologer is hedging his bets and making his refusal or inability to do accurate assessment of personal fate your problem, unfortunately.

No legitimate professional in this field boasts 100% accuracy. The best an analyst or reader can do is offer their perspective and if they happen to be wrong once in a while, that’s acceptable. But to shroud one’s advice in New Age political correctness to the point of making it impossible for anyone to get direct answers to their questions is irresponsible.

Our empirical studies tell us that if someone is destined to become a famous actor they are fated to become a famous actor and will become a famous actor. Also, if someone is destined to serve in a modest support role in the play of life, that’s what they will do, this time.

We’re all for using modern-focused methods such as transits, secondary progressions, solar and lunar returns, and the more funky, creative, newer techniques (even though we’ve found many of those to be pure nonsense), as a means to firm up an existing comprehensive analysis based on tried and true ancient methods. However, to put the bulk of the emphasis on the modern methods and philosophies only invites vast inaccuracies, our research has consistently shown us.

You Only live 100,000 Times or More

If you look at your life as the result of multitudes of lifetimes and not just one (“You only live once”), it makes more sense why some seem to “have all the luck” and some don’t. It’s how you view and handle your circumstances that really matters.

Don’t worry about missing that one right “choice” that could potentially make all your dreams come true. Fate doesn’t work that way. You can relax, because if it’s meant to be, it will be. Keep forging ahead, make informed decisions, follow your heart, do what you need to do, and you’ll get to where you’re fated to be.

Psychology, Consciousness, & Modern Whimsy

Modern astrologers say they are excited about the astrological developments during the last century or so. They name Jungian psychology (being mixed into the science of astrology) as “groundbreaking,” yet we’re convinced it’s largely a way to sidestep real issues, like personal adversity, including poverty, and other life concerns connected to personal fate. Don’t get us wrong, we appreciate psychology when it’s approached constructively, but not the way many modern astrologers abuse it. You can’t interpret the charts through fuzzy psychological thinking and expect valid results.

“Progression of consciousness…” is a way of claiming that times have changed to the point where “…multi-dimensionality alters our realities beyond stoic fatalism…” We feel that this view is completely false and a poor excuse to deny that predicting personal fate is possible. It’s pure subterfuge and typical of the sort of skewed creativity modern astrology promotes to mask the original purpose of astrology (prediction of personal fate), which isn’t as marketable and profitable in the New Age.

Herd Mentality and Modern Methods

Furthermore, having 1000s of practitioners of modern methods, some of whom periodically gather for conferences through the organizations to which they belong, means very little as far as credibility goes. They may all pay $50 or more each year to belong, but it only means that they all share similar beliefs (e.g., denial of personal fate), and that they all largely go along with one another’s radical astrological creativity.

There is an abundance of people who favor modern methods, just like there is an abundance of modern astrological entertainment, excuse us, literature, on the shelves of book stores (next to the trashy tabloid magazines). Why? Because they’re taking the easy way out, at your cost. What sells well doesn’t have to be valid, it only has to be appealing and poetic or sexy, according to the whims of modern demand. No wonder the New Age has a bad reputation.

In conclusion, we recommend you maintain a sharp sense of discernment in dealing with modern, New Age methods and have the courage to go against the grain of conventional thinking. In doing so, you’ll have a huge advantage in your quest for spiritual awareness.

Modern Astrology Folly, part II

Astrologers enamored with modern methods claim that astrology must “…promote human freedom…” and that ancient astrology “…is not aligned with modern times…”

Instead, our findings tell us this: modern astrology’s psycho-speak, trippy subjectivity and softened-up-reality-to-the-point-of-distortion drives you to cloud and misjudge reality and tells you what you want to hear. The escapist and fly-in-the-face-of-truth inspirational babble of modern astrology makes it easier to sell books and drawn-out counseling sessions through its exclusive application. This is by design.

Ancient astrology calls it like it is, pointing out the hard, cold realities of life and giving you infinitely more clarity.

There’s nothing “limiting” about ancient methods involving astrology (and numerology) other than helping you limit delusional thinking.

The revered astrologers and number mystics of days of old wouldn’t be amused if they learned what has become of these ancient esoteric sciences.

There is no room for political correctness in delineation and prediction, and you have to wonder about those who promote such programs. Distorting the foundation of a body of science (based on empirical observation) to make it sexier, more appealing to the masses, and adhere to a sales target and philosophical agenda is a crime against those who worked so hard to develop the practices since the dawn of humanity. This tragedy has been occurring during the last 100 years or so. The truth will eventually come out, and we are happy to be a part of the process.

Although, thankfully, the world is moving towards equal rights for all, not everyone is born with the same levels of ability and the same amount of karmic reward in life. Your soul (not your personality in this life) may have chosen steep adversity in any number of life situations, yet being promised a magic solution, an imaginary escape through feel-good astrological poetry, is preposterous and snake-oil marketing at its worst.

Most Core Life Experiences Are Fated

The Led Zeppelin song “Stairway to Heaven” notes “…there’s still time to change the road you’re on…” and there is in some cases (which is likely fated too in our view), but remember our theory that at least 75% of all life circumstances-the main stuff, the core events of your life-are predestined.

Some have asked if it’s possible to use that remaining 25% to create whatever you want, no matter what, and if it would alter the rest of your personal fate. While we do believe it’s possible to “create” within the framework of your fate, we’ve noticed through empirical research that no one, no matter how aware or spiritual they are, can change the major conditions that are fated (and predictable) in their life. You certainly have free will, but it will not allow you to sidestep destined experiences. “Creating reality with your thoughts” only goes so far.

Outrageous Claims by New Age Marketers

We understand that our convictions contrast with some of the “experts” on the best-seller lists, such as those who claim “anything is possible.” Without having actually done the intuitive/psychic work and, or work involving comprehensive charting with astrology and numerology to test the “anything is possible” belief–we’ve found no other ways to properly examine the idea that immutable life circumstances exist for everyone-you must ask yourself how any ethical person in their right mind can make such wild claims as “infinite blessings are available to you–all you have to do is read my book, pay for my seminar,…” et al.

By declaring that the law of attraction alone was responsible for creating something, yet not having thoroughly examined if that something was already fated to happen, you must ask yourself, how can the author of The Secret legitimately make such claims? What about the many people who have bought the book or seen the movie who gave it their all in the context of The Secret guidance, but couldn’t manifest what they wanted? What is the author’s response to those people, besides holding them accountable, e.g., not “believing” enough, or ignoring an additional angle to The Secret that they must investigate for another $19.95?

Trap of Using Modern Methods Exclusively

Astrologers who move beyond modern methods eventually discover that a huge amount of information, past, present, and future, about your life can be seen in the comprehensive charts.

Those who don’t move beyond modern methods and philosophies speak of fate and destiny as two different concepts: “Destiny is just potential and fate is what happens if you don’t make an effort to reach your destiny.” In this line of thinking, the term destiny is made inspirational and fate is designated as something to be avoided at all costs. This is false and misleading, of course, and it’s the type of pull-the-wool-over-your-eyes, creative language that steers you away from truth.

Personal Adversity is Necessary for Growth

Such an approach inherently denies the necessity (spiritually speaking) and unavoidability of varying degrees of personal adversity. Destiny and fate show up in the comprehensive charts as the same thing, we’ve found, and we believe anyone who tells you otherwise may mean well, but ultimately is merely reading poetry to you instead helping you to constructively face and deal with the actualities of life through constructive analysis of your charts.

Predictive modern astrology and numerology commonly include transits (e.g., transiting Saturn in Virgo as we type this), secondary progressions, Universal Year (2009), solar return charts, and other basic cyclical timing methods that, by themselves, limit respectable levels of accuracy unless you have consistently strong psychic ability and use the esoteric sciences as touchstones only.

We’ve witnessed it over and over: Modern-method-favoring astrologers shroud their avoidance of predicting personal fate in oh-so-creative ballads, even pinning fate against free will (“Free will prevails if you have the courage to defeat fate”) to try and gloss over the truth that predestination exists.

It’s simple, we’ve found: free will exists, but you only have so much of it while incarnated on Earth.

Your soul makes certain choices in spirit form before you incarnate so that you must face key life circumstances that will enable you to grow spiritually.

Personal Adversity Exists

We believe this because our sophisticated systems of checks and balances involving innumerable cyclical timing methods, along with intuitive and past life regression work, clearly indicate that everyone incarnates with unique destined (and unchangeable), measurable levels of personal adversity.

Our credentials are the result of empirical research involving our work (clients, public figures, and people of all walks of life and real-world concerns) and we state our findings as theories; we (and anyone else) are unable to disprove them.

It’s Possible to Assess Life Circumstances

We’ve found it is possible to assess significant wealth, fame, abundant romantic life (and other areas of life), the opposite of all three, or anywhere in-between.

Modern Astrology Approach Example

Advising a client based on only one indicator, such as natal Mercury conjunct your Midheaven, is typical of the modern-astrological-method-based astrologer. They’ll say, “Mercury is conjunct the Midheaven, so that means livelihood involving communication, but it’s purely up to you if you’ll become an hourly employee or a $50,000 per speech famous orator.” They say this because exclusive reliance on overly-simplistic and subjective modern astrological methods doesn’t permit them to look more deeply into a person’s fate.

Then there are the modern astrologers who say things such as, “Let’s look at this from an ancient astrology perspective: Your Jupiter is very well-placed. Therefore, you are ‘royal’ and should enjoy high status and will win most of your life battles…” This type of surface and erroneous approach, misrepresenting the ancient science of astrology, would be laughable if it weren’t so destructive.

The Myth of “100% Free Will”

Relying exclusively on surface astrological and numerological methods could easily allow you to embrace the mistaken notion of having “complete free will (after incarnating).”

Worse, if you have the bad fortune of being advised by someone who embraces new and innovative modern astrological methods (read: destructively creative nonsense) and they use only these in their practice, you could easily, and incorrectly assume that you have 100% free will and nothing is destined. Your astrologer not being able to interpret personal fate doesn’t equate to you having “100% free will.”

We’ll be clear: no amount of “coming into your true path in life” will allow you, for example, to “create infinite abundance” if your personal financial fate dictates only modest finances.

Yes, it’s true, we’ve found that the majority on this planet are fated to live within modest to ordinary financial means, relative to their native society.

Surely you would rather have us truthfully state our findings instead of selling you snake oil? But don’t worry, our findings also indicate that a lot of the rewarding stuff in your life is destined too.

The Important Choices You Make Are Fated

The modern astrologers talk about “facing crossroads,” and deny that important “choices” a person makes in their life are also part of personal fate. If, for example, you like your job and employer a lot and they offer you a major promotion and more money with a relocation to New England from the Midwest, this isn’t “facing crossroads” as if you’re somehow redefining your personal fate by “choosing which way to go” since your choice is destined too. Even the tougher “choices” are predetermined, we’ve found.

How do we arrive at this conclusion? We see it over and over through our work; the specific “choices” people select ultimately involve circumstances down the road that show up in their comprehensive numerology and astrology charts or an intuitive reading that wouldn’t have been connected to the other “choice.”

Take it in stride when faced with a choice in life. The more you accept that you will make the right choice at the right time, the easier the process will be. Also accept that tough bouts of indecision, for example, are fated too. If everything in your life were a breeze, you wouldn’t evolve. Our findings tell us that if you follow such advice, you will be fulfilling your personal fate along with using your free will.

The Advantage of Accepting Predestination

Why are we so passionate about helping people understand personal fate and karma? Many may find the concepts unappealing at first, but once you comprehend the nature of life clearly, you’ll avoid wandering aimlessly down the foggy “anything is possible” New Age path and instead open up to aligning yourself with your unique life purpose. Also, besides knowing when to capitalize on your good karma (through comprehensive astrology and numerology or intuitive readings), you’ll be better prepared for future challenges to make the most of your life.

Personal Adversity Will Always Exist

Leave a reply

Unique levels of unavoidable personal adversity exist for everyone and they are discernible in comprehensive numerology and astrology charts.

This finding of ours greatly clashes with modern, New Age spirituality.

As most anyone will admit, life can be unpleasant at times, but you can’t just wave a magic wand, call on the “Lords of Karma,” or read a best-selling, inspirational, spiritual book and make the distasteful parts of life (i.e., your challenging personal karma) disappear. You must face your own personal challenges squarely because that is how you attain soul growth and balance your spiritual debts.

Wishful Thinking

There exists a “you can be anything you want to be–just believe you can” attitude that permeates not only New Age doctrine, but most of Western society. It’s easy to wholeheartedly embrace this unless you’ve seen the recurring comprehensive numerology and astrology patterns linked to real life circumstances, clearly indicating that no one can be or have anything they want, unless that desire fits within their personal fate.

Whether you believe it or not, your life is intimately connected to the cyclical nature of life, based on your moment and location of birth, along with your other birth data. We’ve found that at least 75% of the main circumstances and events in everyone’s (even those who don’t believe in destiny or karma) lives are predestined: what was, is, and what will be is symbolized by the hidden rhythms and predictable cycles that allow for empirical scientific assessment and projection.

We Fell Into The Same Trap

Before knowing any better in the late 1980s, we fell into the “if you believe, you can achieve anything” trap. Today, we firmly believe (after countless hours of empirical research) in the “if you believe, you can achieve–if it fits within your destined path” concept.

Not being able to have or become everything you want can be difficult to accept. What’s the best way to deal with dreams that may be out of your reach? Aside from acceptance, the better you know yourself the more your desires will be aligned with your karmic blueprint and personal fate, and the more likely you will be to achieve your goals.

Know Thyself

Knowing yourself goes far beyond the limits of your academic testing scores, musical and culinary tastes, or physical abilities. Getting to know your true self also involves your subconscious mind (as seen through handwriting analysis, for example), along with your spiritual heritage which includes your karma and fate, as sought, for example through meditation and, or past life regression.

Interpreting Fate

There exist New Age writers today who claim that some people have incarnated this time around with minimal karma, and therefore their fate can’t really be interpreted. We disagree and believe it’s a matter of going deeper, beyond modern methods, to uncover the hidden dynamics of personal destiny. Everyone’s life matters and everyone has an important mission or missions in life, even if it may seem insignificant on the surface, such as offering endless unconditional love to family and friends, for instance.

We have yet to find anyone completely or even mostly free of any of the rough stuff in life. Although someone might have less severe negative karma than average, their fate can still be interpreted.

Fate Seen In The Comprehensive Charts

Employing a complex enough system of checks and balances, you see extremes of destined circumstances and everything in between: affluence, poverty; wellness, disease; unconditional acceptance, intolerance; togetherness, solitude; recognition and fame, obscurity, and much more. By the way, we’ve found that it’s frequently easier to spot challenges rather than rewards in the charts.

There Are Only Two Ways to Reach an Honest Conclusion About Personal Fate

Predestination is witnessed through the objective viewing of the patterns in the comprehensive numerology and astrology charts and past lives of many people, over many years and, as we say above, finding recurring associations between those patterns and life circumstances. We know of no other way to effectively conclude that predestination exists, aside from using strong psychic abilities to consistently predict future life events.

Exclusive Usage of Modern Methods Will Fail You

By the way, if an astrologer tells you they rely exclusively on transit, and or progressed charts for prediction, we recommend you get a second opinion (unless they are consistently very psychic and use some basic cycles as touchstones only). Those types of (surface) indicators are best used for contributing to an existing, extensive analysis involving multiple layers of indicators, just as the “Happy Birthday!” written in icing on a cake is only to top it off; it isn’t the whole cake by any means.

How do we reach this conclusion, you ask? We’ve determined, through an enormous amount of trial and error over many years, that exclusive usage of such methods (and many other modern methods) for outlining personal fate (e.g., prediction) results in very low accuracy levels.

“Experts” Who Deny The Concept of Personal Fate

It’s amazing that so much credit is thoughtlessly given to those who deny the concept of personal fate, those who don’t even bother to test their belief through comparing the symbolism of cyclical timing methods to real life events and, or using psychic research to outline fated future circumstances.

Would you respect an “expert” who denies the existence of tsunamis, never having left the confines of his home state of South Dakota? Or an “expert” who denies the existence of emotional pain due to romantic troubles who has never had a relationship? Of course not.

New Age Best Selling Authors-Poets

It’s common in today’s New Age marketplace to find former journalists, doctors, or psychiatrists (and others who use the instant credibility of their former professions to boost their New Age careers) who very creatively address the hot topic of “influencing or completely altering the divine order of life” (erasing personal fate without having to directly balance it).

They say, “Can it be done?” Perhaps they’re asking the question to themselves because they haven’t done any work involving the outlining or prediction of personal fate. You’ll find hundreds of pages in one or more of their books hopping, skipping, bouncing, and twirling around the topic, ultimately denying that personal fate and karma exist (and denying that personal adversity is unavoidable), building infinite hope made of a house of cards and praying you don’t notice that they base their views purely on creative subjectivity, bloated optimism, and a desire for a best-seller; no doubt they’ll say whatever it takes to keep you on the hook, knowing you might ditch them if they drop the “heart-centered” (i.e., pretense), folk-singing-like prose and get too “fatalistic.” Very few of them ever answer the question directly at all.

To offer only conjecture along with statements such as “Tons in life happens that seems to go against the laws of nature,” makes a “spiritual” writer ultimately appear more like a New Age wordsmith, in our view. But if you like to read that sort of thing, and prefer to view spirituality as an escape rather than a means of self discovery, go right ahead. Lots of people like poetry and we love inspiration too, but only if it’s rooted in spiritual truths.

Cold, Hard, Realities of Life

To some, that might seem too dark and pessimistic. After all, with all the stress and demands in life who wants to face the cold, hard truth of personal adversity, fate, and karma? The purpose is about taking complete responsibility for your life, knowing that you have free will to prepare for challenges and capitalize on more rewarding moments, and accepting the perfectly equitable nature of this universe, which also encourages treating others as you would like to be treated.

We predict that one day these concepts will be universally taught, understood, accepted, and practiced from a young age. Until then, the cycle of karma continues.

The Trivialization of Metaphysics Trap

Avoid this trap at all costs: Denying the fact that innate challenges and harsh realities of life exist in various and unique forms for everyone, many of which are unalterable, and instead exclusively embracing frivolous renderings of astrology, number mysticism, palmistry or other ancient disciplines that include warped philosophies which promise you the moon.

This course of action is ultimately detrimental to your best interest because it can lead to grave disappointment, and wasted time and money. Aside from temporarily inspiring you, similar to a sugar high while binging on sweets, getting caught in this trap can interfere with your goals, delay their attainment, and cause you to forfeit some of your authentic, higher-self aspirations while you chase rainbows.

Forcing a metaphysical practice such as astrology, which in its most authentic form is about character assessment and the outlining of personal fate (e.g. prediction), into a motivational, superficial format, where practitioners make it almost purely about inspiration (in the pursuit of their financial gain), would cause the celebrated ancients, if alive today, to demand that they be put on trial for fraud.

If You’ve Fallen Into This Trap, You’re Not Alone

Many have made this mistake for one main reason: They think to themselves, for example, “Well, if she’s on the radio and featured in major press, she should be able to solve my problems, right?” Unfortunately, wrong. Countless consumers have confused clever marketing, the ability to get good press (i.e., paying for it in one way or another, in the majority of cases), and a talent for motivational speaking with the ability to provide solutions to their problems.

Here’s a quote from a New Age marketer, one who sells inspirational seminars: “You can overcome anything–any obstacle–to achieve anything you want. It all comes down to your choices. Only the choices you make determine your success, and I will empower you to be on the right path to success. And only you can predict your future. I would never do you such a disservice like putting a prediction in your head about your future that would preoccupy and distract you. That isn’t empowering at all.”

Imagine if you took your car in to be serviced and the auto mechanic said to you, “I’m not going to put an idea in your head of something that’s wrong with your car, so that you’ll obsess over it. Instead, you’ll pay me $5000.00 for a 2-day seminar where we’ll sing the praises of your car and make it the best year of your car’s life!”

That isn’t “empowering.”

When a disciple fails, unfortunately, the inspirational coach tells them, “Well, you had the right attitude, but you just made some wrong choices.”

Realize that choice and attitude aren’t the only quotients. There are many equally talented, wise, proactive, and prudent private equity pros, for example, but the most financially successful ones, in our view, have worked lifetimes to get to where they are now.

Look, we’re all for inspiration (if grounded in reality), dreams, and excitement about making your life the best it can be, but if there’s something you need to face squarely, wouldn’t you rather deal with it so you can move on instead of planting your head in the sand?

How to Escape the Trap

It’s not easy to back out of the primrose path of illusion once you’ve been wandering down it for a while. It can be distressing to face the truth, but you can do it.

First, refuse to buy into wild promises. Everything has a price; financially or otherwise. A long list of glowing testimonials might very well indicate that the person selling something she says you desperately need is merely creatively entrepreneurial in collecting and implementing them (such as through select “master-mind” groups, where members strategize and post rave reviews on each other’s websites); the hype and insincerity bleeds through once you peel away the veneer.

The self-congratulatory inspirational marketers proclaim things such as “See, look what I’ve achieved–if you follow my advice you can achieve anything!” But if their primary source of revenue is from conducting seminars and doing paid inspirational speeches, yet they haven’t seemed to have made big money doing what they teach, assume something is amiss (and wonder if they even have a conscience).

By all means, if you find an inspirational coach or marketer who has a great track record regarding helping people become more successful, go for it. Just keep it in perspective; nobody can help you side-step reality and cheat your personal fate no matter how much you pay them.

We recommend you focus heavily on seeking self-knowledge, which is gained through disciplines such as astrology, number mysticism, meditation, past life regression, and others. In becoming aware of your personal fate, life lessons, and your true self you’ll stop going after unrealistic, unachievable goals, and will be able to fully capitalize on your strengths and favorable timing.

Wouldn’t you rather have the peace of mind that self-knowledge fosters, and even be able to prepare more thoroughly for life’s challenges, than ignorantly assume that you lack any limits whatsoever and that reaching all your dreams is only an expensive seminar away?

Strive to become more aware of yourself and your highest path so you can spend time and energy creating that which is in line with your destiny and you’ll never get caught in this common trap again.

10 Ways to Make Your Hedonism Vacation Spiritual

Leave a reply

Your hectic schedule demands that you take a vacation once in while. You’ve earned it and you want to make the most of your time off: fun, sun, relaxation, and self-indulgence, all within the healthy boundaries of your spiritual path.

Below we offer 10 spiritual tips to get the most out of your pleasure-seeking vacation. After all, as long as you’re not intentionally hurting anyone (including yourself), pleasure can be spiritual too.

1) En route to your destination cruising high above the ocean, listen to a hypnotic recording or two to help you unwind. Be careful not to go too deep though, as you don’t want to get so relaxed that you fall headfirst into your seat-mate’s lap.

2) You arrive at the tropical resort and are so excited that you’re finally here. As soon as you unpack, do a quick 20 minute meditation to ground and center yourself so you can begin your time in paradise on the right foot. First though, make sure to grab the ear-plugs because the newly formed couple next door are getting the party started early and don’t realize how thin the walls are.

3) Enjoy the wonderful meet and greet cocktail party at sunset on the beach on your first night. Pace yourself with those drinks, you’ve got an entire week ahead of you. Though a sure sign you’ve met a kindred spirit may be an invitation to do Jell-O shots, remember to ask your spiritual helpers of the Light on the other side for guidance involving new friends.

4) You wake up the next morning ready to go. You’ve got your MP3 player, sun hat, new sunglasses, and sandals. You’re well aware that birthday suits dry far faster than store-bought ones, so you go commando, like most of the other fun-loving guests. Besides, you like the freedom of movement as you go for an early morning jog on the beach. To relax those muscles after your workout, accept the offer of some complementary energy healing and Reiki from your new friend as you lounge seaside.

5) Sun-block! Use it liberally as you frolic in the sand and surf, especially on those body parts that don’t often receive the sun’s rays. As you relax and unwind in the warm sun and ocean breezes, you overhear someone speaking French and get flashes of a past life you lived long ago. Make a note of your perceptions so you can explore the insights later.

6) Don’t forget to follow good nude etiquette and sit on a towel at lunch. You’ll also want to remain centered and keep your spiritual focus sharp, so do a quick meditation before eating. The last thing you want to do is be so distracted by your fellow adventurers’ body language that you dump an enchilada with extra hot sauce and guacamole in your bare lap. But hey, the photo-op would be priceless. It would also prepare you for desert–human sundaes.

7) Nothing beats a good game of volleyball, twister, or a hula hoop contest after lunch, all nude, of course. If it’s your good karma to win, you will, but nobody likes a bitter loser, so resist the temptation to secretly film the winners and post the video online. This would not help you gain positive karma in the least.

8) How about freshening up in the late afternoon before dinner with a good massage? Perfect! Maybe 10 minutes of yoga afterwards too, to further tap your energy reserves.

9) You’re excited for the All that Glitters and Shakes and the Bubble Bath Party tonight at the disco. While partying the night away, you connect with someone who is so much fun that you can’t stop laughing as you descend the water slide together at the midnight swim, right next to the jam-packed hot tub. Sex is as spiritual as you make it, but be sure to play safe too.

10) What’s that, a lost soul, or even an innocuous demon in your room? All that merry-making has inadvertently drawn in some dark energy. Make sure to put aside some time for a spiritual cleansing meditation, and help that lost energy to the light if you’re so inclined. Keep yourself psychically protected with white Light at all times.

After a week of non-stop action, all in all, the trip was a blast. You’re confident that it’s just what you needed to relax and get a fresh perspective on your life, and you’re more convinced than ever that a spiritual lifestyle includes sensual gratification with healthy limits. Thankfully, you have more freedom now than you did in your strict, spiritually devout lifetimes as a priest, nun, or monk of various faiths!
