Guest guest Posted February 2, 2002 Report Share Posted February 2, 2002 I don't even know what Savant means, but anyway... Once recently while programming in GJ3, I wanted to make a window which allows the user to use 3 sliders to mix colors, much like many professional programs. I never studied compute science at all. I didn't know how to do this, and didn't know if the language I used could do it. So I started to look at stuff behind the scenes and found out that colors are stored as numbers on computers. I pulled up some colors and numbers and looked at them for a few minutes. Then my mind just told me how they're making those numbers. It just told me- do it like this- so I tried it and it worked. It was no effort at all, my mind just recognized this pattern of 3 numbers of 0 to 255 being mixed a certain way, it was so weird, just popped into my head and it was the right way. I'm really hesitant to say these kinds of things, but it fills in the picture more about what is soul, what is brain, what is spirit, and so on. Like Yogi Karve and that birth stuff, that's material. It's a savant thing, or a sidhi. He was always super smart, his whole life. You look in his eyes and you see depth. The brain is capable of so much calculation that we're unaware of, and it can return the result, just like a computer does. The Jupiter in the 9th in Sag in Mrdu Shastiamsa is special for giving the ability to see broadly. Then Ketu with Moon gives the courage to face the Maya that one will encounter, and the intensity of the views experienced, and the increased awareness of mortality all of this brings. Then sometimes, or in the Yogis case, steadily, one gets to experience the amazing quality of such a brain, which works so very well. So duality gives both the high and the low, hence the lamenting bhajans written by Saints, and the lofty things as well. The autistic savant is in a world of pain and automatic calculation. It's extremely uncomfortable. The speed and intensity of everything sensed, measured, recorded etc., in the mind feels much like standing face into an ocean wave your heigth. It's really forceful. It feels like a rush in your head, kindof hurts, but it's awesome, like those high speed images they show on TV. To say I'm cerebral is such an understatement. I cannot explain how much fun I have had in my brain at various times in this life, like experiencing perfection in beauty, math, travel, color, size, dimension, nearly everything it feels like, and very fast and beautiful. Then sometimes the same speed and intensity is channeled into areas which are extremely uncomfortable and one sees ugliness and darkness which is real, that few see, in ourselves, in each other, it's also amazing. A brain that is overfunctioning may go to bright places or dark places. I've definitely seen both, and in extreme. But to live in this world with an overactive brain is very difficult. It is either extremely boring or over stimulating, everywhere, and you feel these things intensely, and you have a hard time hiding your complex mind on your face, and people think you're weird, and that gets weird. Add to that the complication of "a calling" to get something difficult done, which in itself is overstimulating to the brain, and oh boy. It's hard to live at all, like do anything, seeing too much, it's my job to see too much, but damn it has a tag, and damn it's exilerating... ============================= But it is neither the persons steady nature, nor the soul, it is the brain, that does all these things, ... ============================= ....it is responsible for how we experience life and so in the chart, that is a key thing eh? The brain is a combination of Moon and Mercury, as the communications within the brain are partly ruled by mercury as the ruler of all such things- communications, bridges, negotiations. synapses are negotiation points and the neurotransmitter chemicals like seratonin do the negotiating by crossing to send a certain signal so imbalance in these is partly mercury in a chart surely the "crazy yogas" in the classics require affliction to Moon and Mercury both rahu and ketu also are like perceptive antennas giving psychic capability and hallucinations or one or the other dominating depending -- Das Goravani 2852 Willamette St # 353 Eugene OR USA 97405 or Fax: 541-343-0344 "Goravani Jyotish" Vedic/Hindu Astrology Software Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
