(151) Obsession

Have you ever found yourself seeking love or a relationship that is not attainable realistically? For some it can be simply be about money and for others it can be power. In the end, none of us are free from obsession. Some of you may have a memory of an old teddy bear or a blanket that made you feel relaxed when you held it as a child. And you would just hold it all day long. Many are suffering from drinking or smoking heavily and struggle to break the habit.

While reading saju, and since a saju master is responsible for providing the right direction for a better life, watching those who are obsessive about things that are often meaningless is distressing. Once people are obsessive they seldom listen to others. Instead, they keep trying to induce certain answers they expect. Quite often, their questions are endlessly repeated.

Obsession may hurt others when it comes to relationships and love. Rationality and reasoning can never release the tension of the obsession.

According to the saju perspective obsession is viewed as either a lack of, or a strong attachment between, the day master and the others.

When I read Gadhafi’s saju earlier this year, I found that the element that stands for power in his saju was so strong and that there was a link between his day master and that power. So I saw that, “Different from other dictators who were dispelled from their power either by public protests or by other external power, Gadhafi will cling to power more than ever”.

Here is the saju of a woman. You may find something in common with her way of love.

She called me last year to consult her saju, just as others do. Even though I knew her birthday there was certain anonymity and she confessed her agony. It was about a forbidden love for a married man ― her husband’s best friend.

After our first phone conversation, she kept calling me to discuss the same topic. Their relationship deepened into love over several months and, at the same time, she always met his wife during family gatherings. Even though she knew it was wrong, she was unable to discontinue her relationship with him.

On the other hand, the man realized it was wrong to continue as her lover. Instead he wanted to protect the relationship between the two families. At some point, she began to show emotional instability and displayed symptoms of obsession. She sent him text messages that he was obviously trying to avoid.

During this period, she called me almost every other day to confirm his love, and their relationship. After several saju readings, and after offering many answers to the situation, I declined further consultations because they were just going to be the same readings. But she never gave up.

One day she sobbed, the next day she asked to meet me face to face. When I told her, coldly, that there was nothing more to tell, she said that what she needed was comfort, begging me to tell her something positive.

As an earth day master, she has a calling to plant trees. While her time stem contains one wood element, it cannot take root in any of her four branches. The stem energy, as explained, is intangible and discarnate. Having another earth in her stem and two additional earths in branches, along with fire elements next to them, she is like thick and dry earth. Her dream is to plant beautiful flowers and trees. She expects life to be wonderful if only with the wood element, and she promises to do anything for the man, whatever the cost.

Owing to the fact that her marriage is stable, there will not be a divorce, but it is also very unlikely that she will marry the man she truly loves.
