I will attempt to answer. Your instructor is displaying extra sensory perception. Birh you and your sister are correct in your opinions. You can't prove opinions. Perhaps there are subjective ways to measure its validity, accuracy would present more if challenge. This could be done statistically. Astrology may be proven within 16 months. Although that's my intuition. I am a bit uncertain about your position. You believe there's something to astrology. Yet you haven't seen any proof. How would you explain his accuracy?

There's nothing a would add to your definition. I have recently starting looking at the stars in the nsral chart. Yes some people are born under luck stars. Cynique it could be your moon sign.

Well that's it, finding a way to deal with negativity

Jyotish, referring to jyot, or "light" and "isha", or "lord", is the contemplation of the divinity expressing as time and space. Also known as Vedic astrology

What would constitute proof of astrology?

I don't know. Your astrology teacher mailed a blind reading, that's impressive.

Troy that's interesting. So your teacher described your sister to a tee is not proof. But you will take as proof the opinion of someone more knowledgeable than yourself. If he had a diploma in astrology would that constitute "proof" ?

Cynique I find that letting go if the negative emption liberating and life affirming. Perhaps understanding or acceptance is better. I don't want to keep having an internal dialogue that starts, What are they doing?. I just don't see the point. My energy can best be use for my own development. Instead of passive resistance what would hqve been a better tactic or strategy?

The astrology is an interesting one because you took some classes. If you were terrible at it would you still believe it works or makes sense.

Cynique - I wouldn't say I love my enemies. And there's a thinner line between returning hate with hate. Compassion as pity, what about empathy. What tool did Gandhi and King use.

Cynique I believe there us a power or economic component to prejudice. Which stems from insecurity. So the solution may involve practical steps and addressing motivational and psychology issues. The practical us more short term and can be legislated. The personal issue id more long term. However I feel a solution needs both to succeed.

If someone hates me I lose more than hating then back. You can use injustice as a motivator in a way that you can not use hate. There was injustices committed by Black make slaves to Black female slaves did that improve the situation? I don't think anyone us powerless. Ghsndi, King, Mandela and Shabazz priced thus to be true. Their love and self respect were and ate powerful weapons against a grids injustices. That is my belief, as always you are free to believe otherwise. And it doesn't make either belief more valid.

Cynique I am not certain what you mean.

Troy can you give me a few and how did you test them?

Who tries to prove or disprove their beliefs?

I have been looking at the truth for a bit more than a year yet I couldn't see it. When you get angryupset annoyed, it is not them it is you. So the anger or the love you feel to the other is the anger or love you feel for yourself. So being compassionate for others will save your life.

Believing gives hope to some. Perhaps everyone is right and they go to a custom heaven or hell of their choosing. Del

Your entire world is in your mind.

It is about finding balance.

I was talking with my neighbor about this. I said the problem is bigger than government corruption. We also need to look at the global prostitution ring. Men of the first world using women of the second and third world. There is a corollary of women going to third world countries for sex. However they probably aren't having sexual relations with underage boys. The teachers and the priest have that one covered.

Troy I am going to take a little poetic license. If we are not less than trees, and we are not more than trees. Ipso facto we are the equal of trees. Hence we get reborn in the spring, just like Jesus and EasterIshtar

Troy you must be doing something right. You came up on the first page of the Google search.

Troy we perceive something as chaotic because it's order is not apparent to us. Death is nor final for a tree. So I believe our soul does not die. Are we less than trees? I believe not.

Troy what do you mean.

Death isn't even final for trees.
