Notice how when you align with the daily forecasts your life begins to take on the qualities of the greater mysteries of truth?

You see those truths in the world reflected in whatโ€™s happening each day. Thereโ€™s a mental alignment to the planetary energies and psychology of the signs and a spiritual alignment with the observation of the deities ruling the Nakshatras. These are all written before those days occur, but each day observe their accuracy in your awareness.

Thereโ€™s an evolutionary rhythm to each day which shows everything thatโ€™s happening that day. Itโ€™s not magic, itโ€™s the science of Vedic Astrology which is the โ€œEye of the Veda.โ€ Jyotisha is another name for it which is about โ€œShining the Light to see what is.โ€ You have inner light which is called โ€œJyotiโ€ itโ€™s connected to your intuition. It operates when you cease judging things and just observe truth. Truth is whatโ€™s happening in every moment. Just accept that, itโ€™s your truth.

The Jyeshta Nakshatra in Scorpio today is a clue to this observation. It shows you are the Elder. Itโ€™s called the โ€œSakshฤtโ€ which means the Observer. Your true role is to be fixed there. Thatโ€™s truth.

So observe how today is a day of devotion to deep connection. When you feel the deep connection, you donโ€™t need to fear emotions because they are just ripples on the surface caused by the storms brewing around you, but theyโ€™re not inside of you. So let them run their course and roil as they roll around you. The secret of connecting deeply is that they become like dust devils. You see them but you remain untouched.

The enlightened or awakened ones, the Elders, arenโ€™t touched by those storms because they donโ€™t get sucked into them. Theyโ€™re witnessing them, and seeing how foolishly others get sucked in because they become those storms and they even think they are the storm. That is an illusion because you think you have something to protect. So watch how all that hubris and feelings of selfishness arise and then you become lost in that.

Better than that surface response is to witness that from your depths and feel the bliss that you are observing the phenomenon with wonder. When there is wonder there is no mind, so youโ€™re the innocence of the observer. So, itโ€™s when all the reasoning begins that you start to question why. At the deeper level, there is no why, there is only whatโ€™s happening. Questioning is the beginning of the mind. Then as the mind starts to act it mindlessly becomes everything that it sees.

This is why you want to cultivate connection to the depths because there youโ€™re untouched. Since itโ€™s there you are the source. This is where the control switch to everything resides, deep within. This is where you become the creator of your world, where you are the creator. This is the seat and home of the creator thatโ€™s deep in your heart. The creator is Love, the very substance of creation that youโ€™re made up of. Love is not an emotion.

This depth and center is the home of nature, where all the laws of nature reside. Itโ€™s where the deities reside. Those deities are the personifications of the laws of nature. Some rule, some are the doers, which are called the Devas. Theyโ€™re what do everything.

So when youโ€™re relaxing there in the depths in the Self, you only need to think an intention and theyโ€™ll serve you in the highest way to bless you with whatever you desire, and youโ€™ll observe you donโ€™t do anything. Because youโ€™re at home where all the laws of nature reside. After residing there more and more through your practices, the Devas will soon become attuned to your preferences and theyโ€™ll bring you things even before you feel the need for them. Because youโ€™re aware of who you are and theyโ€™re impulses of you.

So in the depths everything is provided for, and itโ€™s just exactly what you need. You do nothing and accomplish everything. This is the secret of the Elders. That everything has its time, and when itโ€™s time, those things will happen. Since as the observant consciousness you notice that everything just happens and that Youโ€™re not the Doer.

In the Vedas there are tests for measuring the evolution of your consciousness, theyโ€™re found in the Puranas. Theyโ€™re stories which shake your consciousness. Depending on your response of stability you observe your level of evolution.

The sign of Scorpio plays this type of game with your psychology, testing to see if youโ€™re vulnerable. If you become that vulnerability then you werenโ€™t deep. Itโ€™s like a fire drill. In a drill you test your emergency preparedness measures to see how youโ€™re evolving and how you respond. Are you prepared for anything? If youโ€™re fully alert, awake and aware, you become wise to this test, this game. Thatโ€™s real wisdom thatโ€™s evolved, not to be blown off your center. To never lose your smile, come what may. To do that you have to connect deeply.

At the bottom of the Ocean is where all silence and stillness lies. So too at the depths of consciousness you are fixed, deep, and still. Your practices and principles to do those practices daily will connect you to that depth.

Then when you rise to the occasion, you can become like a cloud. You can float freely above everything and not leave any impressions. There above the fray you can serve everything freely because youโ€™re not involved. Any rain that falls is happening under you. Youโ€™re not affected at all. Youโ€™re free. When youโ€™re free inside you can laugh at the stories happening everywhere. Itโ€™s a big cinema of light and shadows. You are the screen on which they play. Untouched, unblemished, ever free and filled with light.
