Guest guest Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Dear readers AS i know spoken language/s is from 2nd written, or visible form of language/communication is 3rd. the art of writing sculpting, painting, modelling/gestures/expression, grammer, syntax.... I am sure there rcan be other functions to these, so left to others to fill in. crystal pages <jyotish_vani wrote: I am getting a sense of deja vu about this topic! Why must language be better represented in the 3rd? Speech is 2nd, is it not? What do others think? And please suggest other houses and planets as well, because language must have many anchors in the horoscope/astrology.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Pranam to all Gurus and learned members., Krishnanji, Sreenadh ji, Arjun ji, Prashant ji, Rishiji and others whom i have not mentioned thanks for ur readings and thoughts from Indian scriptures in different posts .... I am trying to open my doors to it and assimlation of it may take time. Yet i am stuck and compare it with western philosphy and sciences at times in my own way and be critical. A thought came to me when somebody compared jyotish to language, which i thought was human way of getting hold to the concrete reality since we cant accept the unmolded...so please tell me where i am wrong. Please read the quote below....This is a quote from the old testament of Bible, which talks of breaking down from the langauage.Derrida and Deleuze the most read philosphers of western sciences today within the postmodernist and deconstruction talking of discources of breaking away from linguistics, a thought of structuralism within works of Levi-Struass and Noam Chomsky.language is just a mere tool made by man which in itself has no meaning, other than culturally developed paradigms. They hold no meaning in and of itself. I dont know if we should confuse ourselves of jyotish with language which is again a man-made tool to give form to the acintya and advaita.(i am still reading works of Sri Chaitanya and Adi Shankara from net and have little knowledge) THE TOWER OF BABEL · Genesis 11:1-9 1. Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. 2. And as they migrated from the east (a), they came upon a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. 3. And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." 4. And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. 5. Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower, which mortals had built. 6. And the LORD said, "Look, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. 7. Come, let us go down, and confuse their language there, so that they will not understand one another's speech." 8. So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. 9. Therefore it was called Babel, because there the LORD confused (b) the language of all the earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth. I have not read a lot, but its important that we dont confuse ourselves with jyotish as a structured language which has a defined path and final teleological goals, which in end only ends up making a bable of itself.Language is a tool that gives us illusion of concrete reality, which we believe we are shaping.Our free will that we believe we hold. I think we need a vedic perspective on this and U all learned Guru's should guide me to that.
