Understanding Our Patterns

What are patterns?  Patterns are most profound form of habits and behaviors. Our habits feed into our behavior and consistent behavior creates a pattern. Events in our lives are strongly connected to patterns. Habits & behavior is our karma – And if repeated over a few number of times – we create a pattern and a specific pattern may result into a specific event. Let’s take an example – Obesity is caused due to consistent food abuse supplemented by lack of physical and mental exercise. Not a rocket science to figure out that Obesity is a result  based on a specific(food abuse and no exercise) karma. 

So if we wish to reduce obesity or change the state of being obese into state of being slightly more symmetrical and healthy , we need to change our karma(s) thereby breaking a pattern in this case. Similarly if we wish to paint our future with desired or rather appropriate colors, we will have to choose the ones that would help us in creating the picture that we want to see and experience. “People” say that we are destined to experience a fate, I would say we are inclined to experience a fate, meaning it can be changed by applying will!! – by simply breaking that pattern. So what inclines us – have you ever noticed a 5 year old being naturally good at something and not so good at few? Why is this kid inclined more towards painting than mathematics? Well apart from the parents and teachers may not be that good to invoke the kid’s interest or perhaps the kid was always interested in painting since many many years in all those lives that he would have lived and painted? – yes incarnation! Similarly we are naturally good at certain areas of life and not so good in few or the other-way around – message remains the same.

We all would have had experience certain things in our previous lives which makes us feel good or comfortable in that space of life and that is why we tend to be more inclined towards A and not so inclined towards B. Our horoscope is a result based on our efforts / experiences  and hence patterns of our past life and we need to learn to work with our horoscope to unlock our own mystery. For example – Only if I understand that afflicted mercury with mars in 2nd house in not so good dignity is making me a harsh speaker and consciously  moving away from this ” inclination“ would probably help and in the process improving the state of my mercury, mars etc. this is how we try to break a pattern. Mars and mercury in one of those undesired house and sign is making us more inclined to hurt someone, however  if we are aware of this pattern – Can we not break it?
