What's life about?

A thought is an act but with a difference. A thought is a potent force whereas act is a spent force.
Both will have repercussions that are internal as well as external.
An act may get repeated a limited number of times whereas a thought keeps repeating endlessly. One therefore needs to be more alert regarding what thoughts one harbours.
Since 90% of thoughts are negative in nature,  the great significance of positive thought habits. 

What is life about?
As stated earlier, one who fails to learn and modify the response accordingly, may undergo repeated life experiences....even life after life. These life events can easily be foretold by occult sciences.

One however takes birth only to learn...to do things differently this time. Learning leads to new thoughts and  one may experience something new.
Experiences are supposed to create thoughts of new desires and propel new actions, the cycle continues endlessly...vividly.

For those who follow only a set pattern of thinking, the life cycle continues but pathetically same old way.
Hence the importance of breaking habitual thought processes.

Breaking both such cycles by breaking desires and attaining knowledge regarding self and almighty is subject matter of Spirituality. That may lead to liberation. ?..mukti.

Occult Sciences

Occult Sciences never hold true as far as future is concerned.

  Future by definition is what is to be made. To be made implies wish, and therefore a choice, a selection,  an option. .NOT FIXED..... Thus not bound by anything. Not even the past.,., unless of course one decides to get oneself bound. to past pattern.

But then many predictions of astrology or numerology do come true. How come?

Predictions in modern sciences say statistics,  economeetry, etc. are mathematical calculations based on input of PAST data. And most importantly on the assumption that the past CAN be extrapolated into future I.e. the laws, properties,  behavior of materials is going to remain unchanged.

Mind is not materials.
Mind changes every moment, if not earlier. Else process of thinking wouldn't take place.
Only when mind thinks the same old way that occult sciences come true.When mind is improvement proof,  that is no longer capable of learning new things that is when astrology and numerology predictions hold say regarding the future.
