When I was introduced to Jyotish 29 years ago, I was fascinated by a flair of mystique knowledge and secretive wisdom that was, on one side, very accurate – but also very scary and daunting.

How could this old man with his white beard know so much about me and my family, even though he had never seen me before? How could he predict my future so accurately? How was this possible? And I thought I had free will…DO I?

Is free will an illusion. Will what he and many others have told me come true, or will it only happen because they planted it in to my mind like a seed, which had to grow into reality?

I was very confused by all these questions that took such a big place in my mind that it was inevitable to start my long journey of research. In fact they were the driving force which motivated me to study the Science of Light, Jyotish and the science of life, and Ayurveda to a very advanced degree.

It was a LOVE / HATE relationship right from start. On one side I was fascinated by the accuracy, which I slowly gained in my calculations and predictions. The more I achieved this accuracy, the more I became stressed by the fact that I had to walk a fixed path, like that of a railway, in the direction of a fixed destiny.

During each consultation, I started to write little notes onto my calendar about remarks on the client and what I thought would happen to them at certain moments in their lives. These were not the things I would publicly predict but rather kept to myself – such as the separation from a spouse, a death in the family, or a time period when toxins like alcohol and drugs would influence the well-being of a client. Sometimes, I would also make notes on the number of children I foresee, their sequence, and so on.

Over the years I then checked how things have evolved – not diligently nor on purpose – only when I met some of them by chance or when they came by for their annual visit. And usually, with great accuracy, my predictions are confirmed. This accuracy reached a stage when I dropped my work completely and got involved in other areas of work because I did not want to have this answer to my question. It was just not what I wanted to accept.

Knowing my own chart, I also knew that my Sundasa was not a time of great prosperity and great wealth. I knew that financial income was obviously blocked by many factors, so I decided to use this time to prove the universe wrong. I decided to double my wealth during this time which was obviously not indicated to be possible. In fact, I would be happy to get out of this period with minor losses and several failures. To confirm the accuracy of my prediction, I asked three of my teachers to see if during the Sundasa, it was possible to accumulate any financial wealth. The same result came back, clearly stating that there was a chance to create things of great wealth, but that actual financial prosperity was not possible.

Well, I guess you’d have known by now that I have put in unlimited efforts to achieve what I had planned. And you are right. I have. I had so many irons in the fire and exhausted myself in such a way that even my health deteriorated. I worked overtime (day and night, 24/7), tried all sorts of enterprises, and created business after business, only to fail. Whatever I did was blocked by government, problems in resources, objections from the neighbours, lack of clients, scams and frauds for which I signed up, cheaters and thieves, huge mistakes in running the business, marketing flops, and so on.

Had I failed? Well, the answer is yes and no.

Yes, I had failed to double my wealth; and No, I have not failed in creating enough wisdom to generate even more wealth during another time in the future. The extreme desire to achieve my goal had made me reach far beyond my normal limitations so that I was able to learn things I would have never learned otherwise.

But the greatest wealth which is incomparably more valuable to me is that I can now see and understand this fascinating play of the universe – not with my mind, but with my heart.

FREE WILL AND DESTINY ARE ONE AND THE SAME!

Free Will and Fixed Destiny / Gain and loss / love and hatred / up and down / happy and sad / and any other opposites you can find are one and the same. They are just the other side of the same coin. Nothing can exist without another side to it. If we believe we have free will to do what we want, we are corrected by destiny. Things happen and situations arise which seem to be unavoidable. But if we are stuck in a fixed path, which steals our freedom and we need to change we have free will to escape.
