Many people wonder why I don’t do any “predictive” forecasts. That is because I believe that “predictions” do not really work for anyone who is on a true self-evolving or spiritual path.
 
Now let’s see, if someone had a very keen sense of observation and/or some innate ability to read another person’s mind (psychic) even then at best they could accurately narrate your past. But future- well that is completely another ball game! It has yet to happen- so how can anyone guess it??
​
Even Quantum Science and other theories suggest that there are definitely energy-potentialities that surround us. These energies do shape how and what we experience, but unless one is to “observe” it- the outcome is “undecided”. I.e. if you are not there experiencing it, then what outcome you “could have” experienced cannot be determined.

Then what about all those wonderful psychics and other folks who seem to do a perfect job of “predicting events”? Well to explain this- let us consider an example: let’s say you grab some takeout food from a nearby diner. Now let’s say, this place serves fresh foods cooked with healthy ingredients (I know it's hard to imagine that with a typical diner… but still try :-)).

So, you eat this meal- now, is it difficult to predict that you will feel good, your body will receive good nutrition etc.? Not really- since you performed the actions, which increased the probability of that outcome from myriad other possibilities. BUT now let’s suppose this diner does not serve good food and/or you are a celiac and ended up eating something with gluten in it- now again, is it difficult to predict the outcome? Not at all- since your actions (however consciously conducted or not) somewhere determined what the outcome will be in that scenario.
 
Ofcourse life is even more complicated than our simple takeout dinner example. In our simple example, we are not considering other folks and your ongoing interaction with them or the uniqueness of your own body and health. But even with this example it is fairly evident that our actions do in a strong way determine what can happen in any given situation. This is not only a Quantum Scientific fact but also the basis of Karma Theory.
​
Now- repeated and past karmic patterns (still called karma in the west, though the correct term is samskaras) do have their influence and because of this some outcomes are “always more probable” than some others. Why just psychics, but even good trend-evaluators do such “predictive forecasts” each week- from a person’s future, to what can be expected within an industry, the financial markets and sometimes even within a particular geographical location like a city, town or a country!
 
But think for a second- as a conscious evolving person, would you rather fatalistically accept an outcome or would you rather understand the energies that are underlying any given scenario- be it your own life or the collective consciousness. When you understand the energies that are effective in any particular day or at any particular time, it gives you a good premise to work with.
 
Seeds sown in the dead of winter are doomed to not flower, while seeds sown during spring and cared for with proper light and nutrition are bound to thrive- similarly our actions when they are in accordance with the general premise as well as incorporates self-evaluation and self-evolution through learning our own individual lessons, we rise ourselves above any typically fated outcomes. This way we allow ourselves to live not only as our highest selves but also as truly conscious living beings.
 
Creating our highest self each day by constantly evolving ourselves into our own higher version.

​In ancient times, divination was used as a way to understand what kind of energies surrounded a certain situation. Almost like the current day weather report! As we know all days are not the same. Certain days just seem to go smooth where things seem to flow in a nice manner and there are other days where getting even the simplest thing done seems like a big achievement! 

So now, if we knew about these energies, then we could better plan our day and conduct activities which are best suited those times- i.e. those activities where we can accomplish the most if conducted during those times.

It is important to note that  we live in a dynamic and living Universe, which responds to our actions and accordingly brings situations and transformations in our life! 

Because of this, it is nice to utilize these various oracle and divination techniques to find out about the energies surrounding a situation, BUT do not try to   find about the future as an outcome, since the future-outcome is something that will reveal itself in due time. Our  job is to do our best  in any given situation and utilize the various tools  (including divination) towards it.

Ji Won casually asked Juma, “are you able to look into the future?”

Juma said, “well, we all have certain intuitive abilities. The more one is in-sync with the natural energy, that much more we can determine events, particularly if they are supposed to occur in the near future. Why do you ask?”

Ji Won answered, “we have these oracle cards and sticks in Korea. I have always questioned how good they really are at predicting future events. So, I wondered if you knew anything about it.”
​
Juma smiled and got up. She motioned Ji Won to follow. She went into her study and opened one of the side cabinets. Ji Won looked inside and thought, ‘there must be atleast forty or maybe fifty boxes of various Oracle divination decks.’ She looked at Ji Won with a twinkle in her eyes and said, “pick one of them, whichever appeals to you and I will show you something cool…” Saying this she went back to the living room, leaving Ji Won alone with the oracle divination decks.

Ji Won looked thru them. They had all kinds of titles and artwork. Some were claiming to be from ancient civilizations, some had fantasy art and some others had picturesque nature images. Finally, he selected one that had a picture of horse on its box cover and brought it with him to the living room. Ji Won liked horses. He was fascinated by them.

Juma was waiting for him at the table and Ji Won joined her. He offered her the box. Juma shook her head saying, “no no... I don’t need it. You are going to do something fun.” Ji Won looked skeptically at her and settled down at the table and started inspecting that oracle deck.

Finally, when Ji Won looked up, Juma said, “now, is there something in the near future that you would like to know about?” Ji Won quickly answered, “ofcourse! How my new drama series will do! As you know Park Areum committed suicide. Considering it is a light Romantic Comedy, we are all worried as to how people will receive our series… In fact, I try not to think about it. Every time I do, I can feel my blood pressure rising!” Ji Won’s countenance changed. His worries and concern were obvious from his facial expression and rapid speech.

Juma said, “okay. So, ask the deck-oracle to show you the most potential public-response outcome for your upcoming drama series. After this, start shuffling the cards. When you feel an inner voice saying ‘stop’, then stop shuffling, cut the deck, keep the top part of the deck on the side and then pick the first card from the stack still in your hand. Got it?”

“Yes.” Ji Won said and started shuffling the cards. He then cut the deck and picked up the top card from the cards remaining in his hand. It said, ‘Small influences. Can gain momentum.’ It did not look too good. Ji Won felt even more upset. He looked up and saw Juma smiling. He gave her a perplexed look.

She said, “what you were experiencing, the card you received and how you are now feeling are all very typical… but before I say anything about it. Let us do one more thing.” Saying this, she motioned for Ji Won to keep the deck aside. Then she asked him, “obviously you want your series to be very successful. But what does success look like with these series?”

Ji Won answered, “the weekly ratings report… all the media speaking about it being such a great entertainment… many interview requests… brands approaching for product promotion… I mean, there are just so many things that follow…” Before Ji Won could complete, Juma said, “good. Now, close your eyes and breathe deep.” Ji Won did as she suggested. “Now, visualize your series being a super duper hit. How everyone is appreciating the series, how they are appreciating your work, how you are being approached by brands and so on…”

​Juma waited while Ji Won took a few minutes to visualize the success of his upcoming series. His entire countenance visibly relaxed. Juma said, ‘whenever you feel calm and centered about this visualization, then open up your eyes.” After a couple of minutes or so, Ji Won opened his eyes. He looked relaxed and he was smiling. He asked Juma, “now what?”

Juma pointed to the oracle deck and said, "please put all the cards together, shuffle them, ask the same question about how your drama series will do, then cut the deck and pick up the top card from the cards remaining in your hand. Everything just like last time. Okay?”

Ji Won shuffled the cards, cut the deck, and picked up the top card from the stash in his hand. It said, ‘Supreme success is assured to the one who does the needful work.” He was shocked. He looked at Juma and said how is that possible?

Juma smiled and said, “this is the power of the human energy field. We have the capability to change our life experiences by what we project into the world. It is called as the ‘Law of Attraction’, but unfortunately, many a times people think of this Universal law to simply mean- wish or think about an outcome. It is not just about wishing or thinking, it is about truly modifying our energy field to indicate what it is that we desire and then let the Universal law do its work… to attract your desired objective to you.”

Ji Won thought about it for a few minutes and said, “if that is the case, then are all these Oracle decks useless? Why do you have so many of them?”

Juma replied, “Oracle decks are not useless at all. In fact, they can come in quite handy when we utilize them in a sensible manner. You probably did not realize how your ‘worry energy field’ was attracting that not-so-pleasant outcome, did you?

“So, if you were back home and were wondering about how something will pan out, then giving a quick shuffle and looking into a potential outcome would have been a nice idea. But it is important to remember that it is a potential outcome. It is always a potential outcome. Because no one can predict the future. Future will show itself at its perfect time, as the now of that moment- it is not for us to worry or wonder about.
​
“Our job is to do the best that we can in any given situation, at any given time. With that in mind, when we find that a potential outcome is not as per our liking, then we can modify our approach, action and so on to ensure a favorable outcome. See what I mean? Till we utilize the information we receive from these oracle decks and other divination ‘predictions’ to better our effort, then they can be great life-tools. In fact, they originally were always intended to be just that. Unfortunately, over the years, human greed and dogmatic behavior have turned them into questionable practices!

I suppose you have already seen my video on the three days with special energy which helps us to put our plans into action for amazing success. 

Vedic culture gives a lot of importance to exact days and times. But since most people are not familiar with the Panchang (Vedic calendar which gives lots of valuable information) and many people do not even understand what all the information-details really mean… so, from a practical stand point, read on to see how we can best set our plans in action to attain success and victory in our endeavors!

So, as we saw in the last post, trying to make new year resolutions typically fails and our plans fall thru within a few weeks.
The better approach is that we utilize the holiday times to reflect on our wants and desires, wishes and goals.

​It is very interesting to note that even though most people will say “I want to be rich”, “I want to be successful” and so on… most folks do not have the required clarity around what “rich” or “success” truly means to them. 

Here, I am not speaking of exact numbers- but a feeling, an understanding of what it is that one is vying for!! To one person making an extra $1000 a month can seem a big deal and to another person, that is just pocket change!!

Now, coming back to our topic… we should utilize the time during the holidays to mull over and reflect on our wants and wishes. Then starting with the new year, we should start putting proper structure around our desires. 
​
We should lay down concrete plans which answer questions like how we can reach our goals. What are possible obstacles and how can be best tackle them!

And then, say 19 to 20 days into the new year (this year that phase is from Jan 20 thru till Jan 22), you can start the work on your plans- i.e. start putting them into action. Usually you can expect to get a window of around 3 to 4 days… starting from around Jan 19th to Jan 23rd ish. 

Now, don’t get worried or stat sweating the fact, that you cannot read panchang or what if you are doing the work at a “wrong time”.

Frankly, till you start your plans after the Makar Sankranti, which is when Sun enters the sign of Capricorn as per the sidereal zodiac and most importantly- Sun starts its northward trek; this is the most important part.   See the special note below about Sidereal zodiac.

​Since it is a festival celebration in most parts of India, called by various names like Sankranti festival, Lodhi and so on… After the Sankranti days, give yourself another four to five days and you should get your special time period of 3-4 days… (that is how I said about considering Jan 19- thru 23 ish).

Vedic culture is very logical and frankly it is also very easy to understand and follow… after all it is extremely structured and scientific in its approach (not just empirical like much of modern science).

This way, you utilize the cosmic energies in your favor. We all know that if you were to sow seeds in the heart of winter, they are all surely going to rot and die!! To even get a fair chance to grow to fruition, it is important to plant the seeds at a proper time… ofcourse not to mention, take proper care, provide proper nutrition and so on…

In our case- when we start work on our action plan is the first part. Then we need to ensure that we are following a proper structure and diligently working on our plans, obtaining any required assets, competencies and so on to finally obtain our objective, our goal!

The added light from Sun’s northward trek, called Uttarayana will help you in obtaining all the positive energies that you require to work on your goals and ambitions.

This in turn will at least provide you with a suitable environment to achieve success. Will you get it or not- that would depend on many other factors such as your abilities, your efforts, your karmas and so on… more on that in another post.

Special note: In case you are wondering about sidereal and tropical zodiac, then sidereal calculations are used in Vedic Astrology (originally called Jyotish- The Science of Light) and tropical calculations are used in what is considered as Western Astrology. 

Typically, there will be a degree lag of around 23 degrees between the two zodiacs.

Jan 15, 2020… It is a new year and if you are like most people, you probably made many new year resolutions and by now, some of them (if not most) have already been broken!!  :-(

But don’t feel bad. Since every year, many people make all kinds of resolutions… to give up on their addictions, take up new exercise regimen, resolutions to better manage their finances, save more money and so many other decisions- and all across the board; most of these resolutions fall apart even before the end of the month!!
​
These are changes that are usually desperately needed in those people’s lives. They have already identified the challenges that are preventing them from leading a healthy, happy and successful life (whatever these things mean to them at an individual level). 

They have done the reflection, evaluation, strategy and planning on how to resolve their problems/issues… some even write up detailed and structure program to initiate during the new year and then maintain any required changes, but for some odd reason, these decisions, i.e. these new year resolutions just don’t seem to stick!

We all know that change is always difficult to implement and accept. But even when it is badly impacting a person’s sense of joy, health and well-being, they cannot seem to win their “Battle of Resolutions”.

And the worst part is that- it leaves people with a sense of “losing” or “being weak”, right at the start of the year! How upsetting is that!!!!!

You probably have heard of ‘timing is everything’. Most people think of it as either something dogmatic, superstitious or even cliché and simply ignore the importance of timing important events.

Now, when you consider this whole “Battle of Resolution” scenario from a Vedic science perspective, it will make perfect sense. 

During Dec 31- Jan 1 of any year, Sun is always in Sagittarius as per the sidereal calculations. This time is not considered auspicious for several reasons…

For one, it is still Dakshiyana and the Divine energies are considered to be at much lower levels than the non-divine energies!

And then to aggravate matters further, with Makar Sankranti being right around the corner on Jan 14th of each year, the new year eve (as per Gregorian calendar) would be the darkest phase of the Sun’s motion!! To understand this, think of how pre-dawn times are considered as the darkest part of a night. 

In case, you are not aware, Jan 14 i.e. Makar Sankranti is supposed to be the start of Uttarayana- i.e. Sun’s motion back towards light. As already mentioned in another article- Jan 14th is usually a great day to strategize and plan for the year ahead. Read the full article:   Makar Sankranti- today Sun can give you special burst of energy. Utilize its blessings to plan for the entire year…

So basically, when you make new year’s resolutions (as per the Gregorian calendar) then you are making your decision and initiating new activity when the life-giving Sun’s energies are farthest away from us and the beneficent divine energies are low!! 

No wonder most people just do not feel the strength, determination or will to continue with their resolutions. We have life on earth because of the Sun and it not only provides us light, it also allows us to have good health, vitality, power for life and zest for living. It is also not a wonder    that decisions made when Sun is farthest from earth typically just seem to lack an ‘intrinsic power’ to continue… and so they obviously fail!!

In fact, there is a simple and yet extremely effective timeline which can be utilized to ensure we are adequately benefiting from the divine positive energies and the bright effulgence of our Sun to pave way to joy and success in life.

How? I will cover that in the next article… stay tuned and till then- “wish you the very best times ahead…”

​Clarification about Makar Sankranti date: Traditionally Makar Sankranti has been celebrated on Jan 14 of each year. But because of the distances that our celestial bodies have traversed over these past several thousands of years, the exact calculation of when Sun enters the zodiac (rashi) of Makar (Capricorn) is now changing.

This year and probably going forward, depending on where you are living in the world, the exact day on which you celebrate Makar Sankranti would vary from the traditional Jan 14th. This year, residents from several countries like India and further east like Australia & New Zealand are celebrating Makar Sankranti on Jan 15th.

As always, when it comes to timing such cosmic events, it is best to refer to your local Panchang.

The concept of archetype is not limited to the Vedic way of thinking. In fact most ancient religions and spiritual ways of thinking utilized this concept in one way or another.

We see this with angels. Angels are higher energy beings and there is supposed to be an angel who is specific to a requirement or blessings.

​Even within Christianity, we find this kind of concept of archetype being present. We have specific saints that we can pray to for a specific need- e.g. Saint Anthony is considered as the patron saint for lost things. I.e. one can pray to Saint Anthony if we have lost something and he can help us find it.

As for the Vedic culture, we have several different kinds of celestial beings. The Vedic way of thinking is very much in alignment with what Quantum Mechanics is only now (i.e. in recent years) starting to understand.  We know that our universe (or better called as Shristhi in Sanskrit, which means everything in creation) exists in various quantum states i.e. various states of existence. So, depending on the level of energy we have different kinds of celestial beings.

Some of them are of higher energy levels than us humans and they are called as the suras. And the ones who are lower than us in their state of consciousness are called asuras.
​
In a very loose translation from Sanskrit to English- the suras are called as the Gods and the asuras are called as the demons. Also, all the suras are also not at the same level of their energetic existence. We have Rati and Manmat who are the archetypes for Passion and Good Looks or we have Kubera who is the archetype for money and wealth.

These archetypes, represent energies that can easily turn from positive to negative and are on the borderline in the plane of existence, so such archetypes though revered are also considered on the borderline of the suras and asuras.

Then there are many other types of celestial beings as explained in several books- we have Gandharvas, who are the celestial musicians, Yakshas who are the nature beings and so on…

So, when you think of an archetype- think of the underlying energy they represent… is it positive or is it negative or is it something that can easily become positive or negative depending on who is using it and how!!
