Of paper planes & real planes = ( Why is Vedic astrology so bleak and depressing?

[Guest guest]

Tiffany dear

 

Have tried to answer each of your questions below:

 

When u were small & xmas trees were tall, your dad may have bot u a

paper plane with colourful streamers. And it flew across your room. And

u had lots of fun. And wanted to become a pilot, or an aircraft

designer.

 

So u went to study aeronautical engineering. And learnt about the

properties of various materials, the wind-dynamics of various shapes,

the electronics of various equipment, etc etc.

 

Then u started work as an apprentice-designer. As u kept gaining

experience, u realised that some of the parameters u had learnt in

school were important only in certain situations, that there was a

heirarchy of parameters, that ALL were not relevant in the basic

design, some could offset all others at certain stages of the design.

It grew so confusing - but u plodded on. And u still couldnt design a

real plane. Just wished u could make your paper plane again, but that

too could not satisfy you after learning so much.

 

Then u were one day, making a paper plane for your daughter. And u

painted so many colours on it, which made your daughter love the plane,

tho it didnt make the plane fly any faster.

 

U looked at the paper plane and each colour splash that u had thrown on

it, made u dream of so many aliens & space-wars & asteroid-habitations.

While the real plane u were designing in office didnt evoke any of

those images. And u again wondered loudly, whether u want to fly your

daughter's painstakingly colourful paper-plane, or a real one.

 

About depression on computer-generated interpretations: To add to all

that, your boss in office was a shit-piece. He said the joystick should

be shorter for more convenience. That pilots feel better with shorter

joysticks. While a real pilot u talked to, said the exact opposite. The

same design of the joystick, & rest of the cockpit for that matter,

spoke differently to different designers & pilots.

 

About free-will: In engineering class, u were TOLD that this is the

RIGHT way to design a plane. You realised much later in life, that it

just came out that way, that the professors hadnt actually said so. U

realised, that u were taught only various standard designs, which

seemed PERFECT because it was taught like that. That there was

tremendous leeway from those, to make an actual plane that flies, and

comfortably so, & speedily so, etc.

 

About precision: You CAN make a plane of varying complexity. Most of

them WOULD fly. Even the balsam-wood one u helped make for your son in

his aero-modelling classes. The more you know about the strength of

materials, or aero-dynamics, etc, the better it would fly.

 

I will leave the directly-astrological answer to someone else older &

wiser than me, eg the upachayas (houses 3,6,(10),11) SHOWING the

free-will component, the divisional charts requiring greater precision,

etc etc. All I can tell u from the bottom of my heart & soul, & ahveing

read a smattering of both Vedic & Western astrology, is that you join

the SJC class & start at the beginning of Vedic astrology, ie the

meaning behind, the whole world within, each astro-alphabet. And THEN,

watch how your mind unfolds itself & guides you to understand these

elements better.

 

Best of Luck in your endeavours. I wont say "dont lose heart", I'll

say: you'll love humanity more, you will see much in everything around

you, once you start learning making planes from the beginning, instead

of watching everyone else's paper-plane making guide-books with samples

on display. These models cant be applied to make the one YOU like - so

it will NOT fit your mood, & you will feel depressed. You have to make

your own one. OR get a designer to make one exclusively to make one

that matches your needs.
