astrologer was staying. In fact my friend told me this man is a traditional
Church priest. I stepped in to his visiting room I wished him and said; I
have come to see Ed. He must have been a little more than five feet tall,
fragile and pale who was in his seventies. He was sitting in his office chair
and a table in front, flooded with too many goodies like a thrift shop.
I was in a fix, I did not know how to start the conversation because
I was not sure, and he was the same man I was looking for. Finally I
asked him about the future of certain things. His answer was he could not
answer it without the help of a second person. The best second person is
a kid between 10 -12 years old. He said, he could arrange for one for
another day. It so happened; a kid just walked in for the day I went,
during my second visit to him.
He told the kid to close his eyes and to answer his questions, by
seeing the things with his eyes are closed. I thought Ed must have put the
kid in to hypnotic trance. The answer, the kid was giving was not correct
according to my general knowledge. Though I could not believe anything
the kid said, I did not try to disagree anything with ED.
When everything was over, I asked Ed how he learned all those
things. I also wanted to know the kid was on hypnotic trance. He said that
is not so. Ed learned meditation while he was studying in seminary and
got an angel stationed several thousands of miles away from the earth. I
am not sure that was a good or evil angel or dead mans spirit. According
to him, the angel spoke to him and gave him a choice of a prophetic or
healing gift. He opted for prophetic gift. Since then Ed helps people by
saying about their future like an astrologer. I tried to know about my own
matters and asked him accordingly. He was bit reluctant to answer to
that, but he wanted my horoscope, to look in to details. I did not have any
horoscope to show him.
Then I asked him how the kid see those things and answer Eds
question. Ed said the angel show those things to him when he ask the
questions. Then I suggested, using me as the second person to contact
the angel. He answered it must be an immature person so that he will not
use his intellectual ability and misinterpret.
Then I asked him how he learned all these things. He began his
story. When he has completed his secondary school education he went
and joined the seminary to become a priest in one of the traditional
Churches. He was there for a long time. Long before his ordination as a
priest his father died. It was a very difficult time for him. There was no
other male member in his home. He left seminary and stayed home to
help his mother. Somehow he continued his studies and graduated. Then
he got a job in a school as a teacher. He was the only Christian teacher
and the rest of more than thirty were Hindu teachers. They often spoke of
auspicious time, different aspects of stars and the resultant of it. Ed did
not understand a thing of it. Finally he bought few books on astrology and
learned it very well. His astrology and meditation has led him to where he
was at the time I saw him last. I got no evidence to say that he had any
supernatural ability at all.

I saw him only once and never been to him again. Personally I
dont like astrology and all those kind of things. Obviously you have the
right to ask me why I went to see him. I was told he was a priest. Priests
dont learn on those things and function with these kinds of things. In fact
I suspected him as a sorcerer but I could not find any evidence to it. He
was in a seminary, studied for some time, and did not become a priest.
Probably he was good as an astrologer and the rest of the things,
such as any superhuman powers were false. I do not think he lived for a
long time because of his poor health. His family was on the decline,
financially and health-wise. Very poorly maintained house and sick
children, it was a pathetic condition. As I left I gave him some money and
never wanted to see again.
Who changed him to become a schoolteacher and astrologer
instead of a priest?
If he were not to become a priest, why he had to go to seminary
and then drop out.
If he really wanted to become a priest, at any cost he should have
continued in the Seminary. He personally opted out of priesthood.
Did he change his destiny?
I know another drop out from a seminary who, became an
accounts officer of an establishment. He deliberately came out because he
could not accommodate with his seminary life style.
Many jump out of seminary after getting good education at free of
cost. Though Seminaries are very cautious in choosing the candidates,
there are many wise guys who wish to exploit the opportunities.
To know exactly whether fate is playing any part, it is not an easy
thing. If you strictly go by your natural abilities or aptitude and end up
where ever it takes you that may be your destiny. If you work hard like
Abraham Lincoln, Constantine and Napoleon you may change your
destiny. The point is how many work hard so much like them.
Man is basically corrupt and lazy but if you work hard, you are sure
to have some success. If you have some vices, undisciplined life style and
laziness you will end up in total failure. In other words you reap what you
sow. If natural calamities throw you off the track you cannot progress as
you expect.
When you fall sick and becomes necessary to see a doctor, the first
thing they are going to find out is whether it is hereditary. Why disease
has to come by hereditary. Then they will say it is the gene. What is
gene? Gene is the segment of DNA that is involved in producing a
polypeptide chain; it can include regions preceding and following the
coding DNA as well as introns between the exons; it is considered a unit of
heredity. This is interesting what has come first, the chicken or the egg?

Children inherit the resemblances, talents and skin color even bad
habits of their parents. Is this called hereditary?
One thing I have noticed is the hereditary characters of sickness is
transmitted through 3-4 generations and some times the descendents
discontinued. Though medically they might explain what went wrong, it
gives us to suspect something beyond.

If you look at the above diagram you can see how the hereditary
works. The hereditary becomes worse because of your own mistake. You
may or may not agree to this, but it looks like it could happen.
If you can be the heir of your parents for their wealth, you can be
the heir of their blessings and misfortunes too. The only way out is to lead
a righteous life and stay away from all kindness of wickedness. If you
have confidence in prayers, you can pray for your ancestors disobedience
to Gods Commandments. A constant prayer will get you great relief in
due course of time. Why Hindus conduct such religious rites? The spirit of
their ancestors will have rest in peace.
Samson is considered as a mighty hero, world wide, though he was
a Jew. He was a judge for 20 years in Israel; during those periods there
were no kings.
He lived like an outlaw, drunkard and a womanizer. He was
supposed to live as a nazirite (a person who had taken strict religious
vows) but he was a total failure for which he had to pay the price.
Is there such a thing as fate, if there is can you change it?
