Resending: The experience of time; intelligence; intuition

[Guest guest]

Namaste Sanjay,

Hari Om

 

Thanks so much for the thorough essay you promptly wrote in

reply to my questions last week. I apologize I did not get a chance

to do e-mail all these days (and now am drowning in hundreds of

posts).

 

(I sent this text out last Sunday, but it seems that it did not

go through.)

 

Rasi: The natural Kendra houses

are the Chara Rasi (Movable signs 1,4,7,10) which are lorded by

Brahma and indicate the present; the natural Apoklimas are the

Dwisbhav Rasi (Dual signs 3,6,9,12) which are lorded by Visnu and

indicate the past; the natural Panapara are the Sthira Rasi (Fixed

signs 2,5,8,11) which are lorded by Shiva and indicate the

future.

 

Would you say that if someone's lagna is in Aries their

experience of the present is present-centered, if someone's lagna is

in Taurus their experience of the present is future-centered, if

someone's lagna is in Gemini their experience of the present is

past-centered, etc.?

If someone's fifth house is in Aries, their vision of the future

is present-colored, etc.?

If someone's ninth house is in Aries their recollection of the

past is present-colored, etc.?

 

Graha: The planets are not like the Rasi/Bhava or

Nakshatra and have considerable aspect (Drishti almost 75%) on the

trines.[...] All Grahas have the ability to see the ninth house and

influence the houses they sit in as well as the fifth house from

their position. Thus, they can translate the past karma into present

experiences and future expectations.

 

Interesting.

I had thought, though, that every graha would naturally have a

preference for one or another aspect of time -- say, Rahu & Sani

would emphasize the past, Vena & Ketu would place more weight on

the future, etc. -- but Budha would be indifferent. I may be totally

wrong on this, though.

 

Rath: In

any human being, either of the two sides shall be predominant and

almost 50% of the world is right brained dominance whereas the other

50% is left brain dominated.

 

I guess that by looking at the rasi chart and the divisional

charts one should be able to tell how the family background and the

educational system have made most of the so-called

" educated " people into left-brainers (excessively

analytical mentalities). If that is the case, I don't know how to do

it, though.

To mention a trivial example, educated people are satisfied

knowing that water = h2o (i.e. an analysis of water into its

molecular components). Most of those people would never stop and

wonder what are the cleaning or the healing powers of water -- which

are not the sum of h2+o.

 

The

division of the head is seen from the Hora where the Sun's hora (1st

in Odd sign and 2nd in even sign) rules the right side of the brain

whereas the Moon's hora (2nd in odd signs and 1st in even signs rules

the left brain).

 

This should read like this, no? I think there was a typo

before.

 

Could one say, as well, that the surya grahas are natural

advocates of right brainism whereas the candra grahas are natural

advocates of left brainism -- regardless of their position in

anyone's hora chart -- and Budha is either indifferent or

oscillating?

 

At the beginning of the chapter on the 12th house in COVA you

say that Ketu is the karaka of meditation. Would it be that Ketu

rules the structural-insight type of meditation and visualization,

whereas Rahu would rule meditation based on linear, analytical

thinking, logical reasoning, and verbal language?

 

Now, I wonder how to understand the following.

The instructors of pranayama talk about surya-bhedana (inhaling

through the right nostril, which has a heating effect) and

candra-bhedana (inhaling through the left nostril, which has a

cooling effect). They also agree with the common idea that the right

side of the body -- the nostril in this case -- is connected with the

left brain hemisphere whereas the left side of the body is connected

with the right hemisphere.

However, if the surya hora rules the right brain hemisphere, one

would expect that the right brain was the site of the heating effect

and, conversely, if the candra hora rules the left hemisphere it

would be expected that the left brain would be the site of the

cooling effect. Yet pranayama seems to be claiming the opposite.

 

The left

brain has to do with the immediate (Vartamana) and will react

naturally and instictively to hot/cold and tastes etc, whereas the

right has to do with the learning experience called Dhi

Shakti.

 

In other words, left brain (linear thinking) relates to the

immediate, sensorial present, whareas right brain (structural

insight) relates to a contextualized or more meaningful or

personalistic present. Is that it?

 

1. Lagna is at 14th Deg of

Libra

 

Present-centered mentality?

 

and

in the Hora chart, this is in Leo showing that the predominance is of

the right side of the brain. This side is ruled by Sun & Jupiter.

Next is to see the placement of these planets. We find the Sun in the

8th house and Jupiter in the second house (both Rudra Sthana)

indicating that the right side of the brain shall dominate, but in a

very negative way.

 

2 & 8 = future-related houses ruled by Shiva. Must that

future necessarily be all negative?

 

Saturn is placed in the fifth house in its

Moolatrikona whereas Rahu is placed in rapt conjunction with Lagna.

Thus this right-brained child shall have a serious obstruction at the

brain caused by Rahu and Saturn.

 

But Saturn is the boy's atmakaraka, isn't he? Wouldn't the

atmakaraka help?

 

The

child is autistic and cannot speak. Not that he is violent, but

instead is kind, very kind - regressive autism.

 

Jupiter retrograde in 2nd house.

 

In this chart the 2nd house is a future-related house, ruled by

Shiva.

 

3.

Learn: If Jupiter and Sun are well placed in trines etc to Lagna

then the right brain is very beneficial and well developed whereas if

the Moon & Venus are in trines, then the left brain is well

developed. In this case we find the Moon in the ninth house ... the

clue and solution lies here. Parasara says 1 lakh gayatri Mantra; I

add visit to Jagannath Krishna temple...What do you

say?

 

Jupiter in 2nd (Sc): RV 10.71 (Brhaspati) & RV 10.125 (Vac);

drawing/painting (Agni, sight).

9th house = past-related bhava; Gem = past-related rasi. All

past = ruled by Visnu.

Moon in Gem: writing -- both as artistic hand writing (right

brain) and a communication means (left brain). Somanatha.

 

4. Jupiter

dasa is not good as it is lord of the trimsamsa lagna in addition to

its placement in the 2nd house from Lagna having Rahu. What is the

way out?

 

I thought Jupiter was in the 4th house (Pi) in the D-30 you

posted for the boy.

Way out: mantras, music, empowered sounds to impact the boy's

internal akasa, his consciousness. RV suktas mentioned above. Maybe

he can sing -- Jup in 2nd house & Merc. in natural 2nd (his

8th).

 

What is

kinesthetic signal?

 

Touch and movement. Intuition as a sensation. Related to

vayu-tattva -- Gem, Li, Aq; Sani, Rahu.

Would intuition be seen from the 5th house, from the 12th house,

from D-24, or...?

 

Thanks again, Sanjay, for enlightening us.
