fine subtle fragile tender walk softly

[Guest guest]

To speak about India's social problems that affect some of it's people, as a

side line to a discussion of the merits of subtle remedies discussed in it's

classical Jyotish books, is like saying my software may not be good because

there are poor and hungy descendents of slaves in Louisiana today.

 

Jyotish is something taught in ancient books from India. India's modern

situation is not the subject of this list, nor was it caused by Parashara,

the book, Jyotish, these teachings, this subject.

 

India has a preserved ancient culture, and yet is operating as a country

amongst modernized nations. This is not easy, at all, and the gradual change

over takes a long time. Nobody knows for sure who is better. Just as, nobody

can say for sure that Christians are better than ancient Celtic pagans.

 

The subtle remedies are a part of a subtle or shamanistic system of

understanding which in it's fullness and correct context are valid.

 

We are dealing with ancient things in a modern time. It takes some amount of

intellectual finery to do this. This is not plumbing or painting. Subtlety

and graciousness is required, as well as a view into very subtle dimensions

of human consciousness.
