Guest guest Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 And then, Sir, I revert back to my earlier question, is everything relative to time, space and lets say matter and energy? I seem to be persistent in asking this. What is eternal then or shashwat, isit only my relative perception or yours or for that matter anyone else's..their individual experience and perception..is that what is reality finally? Empirical observations tend to push us in this thought that there is nothing eternal or absolute. Yet one seeks that very timeless, limitless, absolute, eternal. Or is it what science says more......that we can tend to reach to the limits of infinity but never the infinity; that we can get verrrrrrrry near to zero but never reach zero. Loud thoughts, for there can never be any acceptable answers to such queries. regards rishi , "crystal pages" <jyotish_vani wrote: > > Rishiji, > > It is not *my* postulate -- as I have stated in many an earlier > message or article here or elsewhere! > > Because *i* do not exist really, nor for ever! > > *CAse* closed, shall we say? > > In that earlier message on this forum -- space was mentioned, time > was mentioned but one thing was missed -- directly! > > RELATIVITY!

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Namaskaar Sri Rishi Beautiful words - You is the Consciousness. me is the ego. By day I prised you and never knew it Means the Consciousness empowered his whole being through waking world but the individual did not pay attention to it or "see" IT or "know" IT By night I stayed with and never knew it. One can never be away from it and it is the one that makes us aware of "nothingness" in the deep sleep. I always thought that I was me - but no, I was you and I never knew it" The ego thinks it possesses the consciousness and it has a separate existence. But ego cannot be right. "I was you" is a wrong usage by Rumi - Let me correct it - "I am you". He must have used "was" to be grammatically correct. But in these matters, break the grammar rules and "Bhaja Govindam"! and I never knew it As long as you take time to torment you, you will never know it. Acceptance of its only superficial appearance helps you know it. Much more can be elaborated. In a Jyotish forum, people will raise swords against me if I carry on.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 The mind is capable of viewing not only what is there but also what is not there through imagination as we call it. Our thought framework contains and believes in there being the possibility of states or things like shashwat, absolute permanence, infinity, etc. The atom was thought to be the unit at one time, but now we know that there are finer particles etc that exist too, naturally or artificially. Since absolute shashwat is difficult to perceive, or demonstrate, other than scriptural references which essentially are a culture's thought-reality, thought-framework expressed in words -- one would have to focus on relativity, which is demonstrable and easier to perceive and understand.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Sir, Even the theory of Einstein is being revisited.Known to be theory of relativity and the evolution of infinetity and algorithym there of is gradually getting defined with nano particles etc.Considering shaswat as an inductive process the rest are all at micro level can be deduced.otherwise beginning with micro level(fathomless) we can proceed to shaswat or infenity.i mean what was "only written in cultures" through untested ideas,imaginations and fantasies are now being probed to find realtivity All these factors comprise a very large imaginative and figurative world in terms of universe. seen by legendary yasoda in in the tiny mouth of Bala Gopal. krishnan crystal pages <jyotish_vani wrote: The mind is capable of viewing not only what is there but also what is not there through imagination as we call it.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Bharat ji, That nothing happens during 'deep sleep', is this really registered and known or simply assumed due to lack of recall? It is like an individual in deep anesthesia on whom surgery is being done. All the nerves that are being cut are crying but the pain is not perceived.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Krishnan ji, Thanks for bringing that up (about the revisit). It goes to confirm that even 'relativity' is relative and evolving.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Namaskaar Sri Rohini The question that haunted me day in and day out was the reverse. You are talking clearly about anesthesia but that is something noone is clear about. What exactly happens in an anesthesia? Deep Sleep is a simple phenomenon. As per my understanding and logic, the thoughts go back to their causal body which is nothing but ignorance. Consciousness remains and watches the nothingness. That is why, many a times I say this to others that I had a very sound sleep. The problem is that we are so accustomed to calling the waking of the mind as consciousness that we question the deep sleep. Mandukya Upanishad with Gaupada Karika has dealt with the 3 stages in amazing depth. What needs to be questioned is anesthesia. It is a very different phenomenon than sleep. Like in Sleep if you are cut, you will wake up in a jiffy. Sometimes if you program your mind to wake up at a particular hour, you will. Its like in the dormant stage the mind is keeping track of the time. What connection does anesthesia break? It disconnects the body from the mind is for sure but I do not know if anyone has had dreams, while under anesthesia. If someone can shed light on it, then, we will be able to understand this phenomenon too.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Bharat ji, You are right in thinking anesthesia (or its non-chemical counterpart of sorts, hypnosis) as not being identical to sleep, light or deep. We can discuss that elsewhere before we get a 'ticket' on this forum for non-astrological patter. But my point still remains that did nothing happen or did we not remember? I can relate to the point you made about something watching over us even when in deep sleep, but the perceptions and observations of that part of consciousness/awareness is not carried on in most people in the wakeful state (in which we write these postings, etc). Why I believe that something watches over us when we are deep asleep is all those instances where a person was in physical danger and woke up just at the right moment and similar instances. However, as I said, in most individuals, the knowledge/information database collected by that is not transferred to the waking awareness (conscious mind as some call). Another evidence of there being an awaress other than the conscious one is of course the autonomic nervous system which even when we are awake makes sure that the basal systems keep working, that we continue to breathe, that our hearts beat, our digestion continues, even without our conscious mind not knowing. Perhaps the functional part of the mind that handles the autonomic activities also handles the overseeing during periods of deep sleep. Perhaps experts can tell for sure.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 How can one assert that mins is "viewing" what is not there. Could this not be mere ignorance on the part of waking awareness that it treats all what it cannot "view" as imagination. Why should only what is being "viewed" (meaning: viewed, heard,touched, tasted, smelt and processed through the rational logical sequential mind) is real? Just because we assume our limitations, should we accept the rationale in a hypothesis which is limited in its totality? Is not the sum of parts equal to the whole? I am sure, the moderators will not frown on these questions for they are not unlinked to the basic philosphy of Jyotish which is more than the technique of Jyotish. regards rishi , "crystal pages" <jyotish_vani wrote: > > The mind is capable of viewing not only what is there but also what > is not there through imagination as we call it.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Namaskaar Sri Rohini and Sri Rishi Just a small note for you two to ponder upon: To take mind as conscious entity is an erroneous judgement. Mind is inert. It comes alive when consciousness shines upon it. Let me take an example (please try not to extend it): Let Electricity be consciousness. Everything is prevaded by it - the wires, the cables, the plug points, etc. But you expression of electricity in varied ways: 1. In Bulb you see light 2. In television you see pictures and hear the audio 3. In fan you see rotation. Electricity being same the expression is different. Take television to be one mind, take fan to be another. They are all jadam - inert. SECONDLY, Mind is defined as a collection of thoughts (One can refer to Tatva Bodha for definitions). Thought is cognized in the light of consciousness. In deep sleep, there isn't a thought. So mind is not there. Consciousness is there and it is aware of the no-mind and only ignorance is seen.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Rishi, Just so that I feel confident that I am understanding this complex thread :-) My statement was that 'mind' not only 'views' what is there (object reality) but also that which is not there (through the 'faculty' of imagination). your comment was that perhaps what we think as imagination might already exist in one form or another, so it was already there and simply 'grasped' by the mind at the moment of imagination. If I understood what you meant correctly, then yes certainly that is a possibility, but it also means that 'creativity' is non-existent. Since what we call creative, born in the moment is really already there. If that is true then the next extension of that can be that there is really no role for free-will because the pattern of destiny, already created is supreme and must govern all of us. The goat suddenly finds that the rope with which it was tied to the pole is no more, since the animal is now riveted to the pole!

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Dear Shri Ranjan ji, One of our member added another fuzzy logic through "holography"<probably Astrology and the basic configuration of man made through positioning of 9 planets at the time of birth> have no relevance.(to jyotish) Analyse any light ray passed through any medium gives many interesting scientific views.where as consciouness of mind.in "sayana avstha" and the capability of autonomic activities when read through biophysical activities may also have some thing to convey.Even then relevance to jyotisha a conceptual base analysed and studies throughly is difficult to be denied from futuristic point of view through science.what medicos declare as death was not accepted in law and we also know that death is some what eternal and is only a point of time. All these issues though relate to time,energy, matter we can not reconstruct and find a theory to justify human life. As a student of Psychology,I myself found that how wrong was Pavalov theory of human beahviour how near the life of man described as fulfilment of graded wants by Maslow .Ultimately human endeavour looks to be materialistic if we do not consider the risks and pleasure one tries and obtains through scaling of mountains.This where I think jyotish something to advocate through analysis.where probably sciences cease to explain,jyotish finds some meaning and utility. krishnan crystal pages <jyotish_vani wrote: Krishnan ji, Yes -- co-dependence at its acme!

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Krishanaji, Science has been successful in understanding/explaining/modifying physical 'reality'. That is its forte. When scientists started looking at the subtle mental reality, they went in with the biological/organic model and obviously there was a problem and something was 'lost' in the translation between the mind-body connection. Pavlov was not wrong in his findings, but only in the conclusions which he might have felt explains the total reality! Somewhat similar with Freud too at least in the beginning, although he reconcilled and pulled back a bit towards the end. Jung took it farther but again his or anyone else's viewport was not perfect or final. Hence we have all these fragments of truth, none of which could be called holograms though some like to call them hollow-grams! Jyotish takes a more holistic approach, not being married to either the physical, mental or spiritual. Like light it sends parts of it in many different realities, but since the human mind/vision is sensitive to only a certain part of the EM spectrum, when the information returns, only that for which 'receptors' exist in the perceptive apparatus, can be seen. As someone said: The eyes do not see what the mind does not know! Not perfect but makes one sit up and think.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Aren't destiny and free will terms coined by our own limitations? Let us take it us a maze where a mouse is left in at the start and wants to reach the end where there is no more confusion, just total freedom , where there is only sunshine and no grumbling clouds wherein sun and moon move in cycles of time. Free will exists in the choice of paths which the mouse chooses, at times sliding back to the start, at times reaching a place where there is some freedom. The mouse has to exercise this choice. Destiny is the guide which whispers..hey take this shortcut you will move faster. The mind confused, the mouse often chasing its own tail, always time which controls the mouse. A state of dynamic flux. And cycles go on and on. I do not know. A scientist...on the path of knowledge, A poet on the path of nature' A philospher trying to make two and two ..twnety two and A devotee lost in his worship. Fire and Earth and Air and Water.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Pranam to all Learned Guru's and Astrologers. How could jyotish be holistic and yet not married to either physical, mental or the spiritual. I think jyotish could be the root giving fruits, manifesting in these forms.We cant at one point detach and contend that jyotish is holistic.Definitely what differentiates is what Rohini ji said that jyotish allows one to go outside the matrix of illusions and see it from a far vantage Point.While all other sciences, remain percieving the projected images within the hologram, which remain "hollow" to the common man. For those who move away for a moment, start realizing the fluidity and connectivity, the whole-flow within the nano-moment.Not to say that the minute outcomes of the flow is determined by destiny, but definitely giving the probability of its flowing path. I think jyotish at one point has a belief that there is still scope of creativity in universe, I think thats why remedies and mantras are given.What it does is change the way we tune (recieve , store and transmit) to that given information,since we are all finally holographic projectors projecting illusionay images of concrete reality. Jyotish promises one to detach itself from these standing waves, and go to the depths of the ocean, which allows one to see multidimensional planes, beyong time and space. U all Guru's are those chosen ones, who have magnificient controls which render 'Chance' to come to their terms,where determisnism and free choice have no place...We are alas evolving and creating anew the unexpected...If not the life would be monotonus.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 {Om Namo Narayanaya} Rishi ji, Whatever do you mean by mouse? Mouse-mouse/Human mouse/e-mouse? The only free will you can muster is the one allowed by destiny. That is the paradox. But you are right, there is always movement, be it chasing its own tail, what with the time-outs, through Air, Water, Fire and earth, always emerging wiser , with the knowledge of rainbows at the end of the clouds, sunshine behind rumbling clouds, lots and lots of silver lining- precisely with the 'clarity' you mentioned.So what if the vision in not 20/20, dont we all have corrected vision, birthtimes, Navamshas and so on. Everything is OK as long as the 'Vani' is clear enough and loud, so that the mouse can come scurrying back in time to safe, familiar havens.After all, we do have to rely on sound when sight fails us. It is going through the maze that gives the 'mouse' the much needed clarity to pass through the tests of life's school, so that it can become a scientist,poet, philosopher and what not.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Naliniji, Yes,yes... it is that sound, that vani which echoes on and on in those skies, those stars, we cant see it, hear it, yet feel those echoes....those sounds are I guess beyond kaala, transcending time, transcending earth, air, fire, water. The mouse gets worried, gets anxious when those familiar safe havens which it can feel from those echoes are so lost in the maze that they cant be reached. However, life has to go on and on and on, inextricably linked with the passage of time.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Dear Madam and all others, before all of you feel my intervention as abrupt and otherwise but the reaction arising out of the thread even from 'hollography"made me further to add astro sense as RR ji referred"Thank God I finally managed to inject forum-related relevance into this thread Very interesting long thread(no doubt) is going :on mouses and tails. Iam able to find the cream of the idea(hope so) of the thread.May be it is relevant if I say few words as quoted by Utpala in A.M of recent origin in news stands as of now. I just ibegin with "The Supreme Lord is directing the wanderings of all living entities who are seated as on a machine(includes living mouse and e-mouse) made of the material energy These preachings are to Arjuna from Lord Krishna as he says" The Supreme Lord is situated in every one's heart" Now Utpal's words"The Theological conviction is that for those who are devotees of the Supreme,all the planets are good because the devotees are more powerful than planets.As the great Tamil Saiva poet put it:"Aayaval nalla naala adiyar avarakku mighave" Further: Astrological advice is more a mangement tool......Na bruyata satyam apriyam... Iam sure with those few lines I will not be considered as an intruder and able to connest with all wise saying and preachings taking place around. Let me conclude with:Styam bruyat,priyam bruyat,Na bruyat Staymapriyam" This must not be overlooked please regards to every one krishnan crystal pages <jyotish_vani wrote: and don't forget the fifth important form too, dear sister, ASTROLOGER!
