Guest guest Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Dear Pierre-Olivier, The real problem is that there are so many different concepts that have originated from completely independent researches from different standpoints into the SAME subject by people of different times and different cultures, and then all mapped into a single language. Misinterpretations abound. I think you are, very correctly in your own approach, using " unconscious " in its loose and conversational meaning. Unconscious to you is simply something you arent aware of but you were aware of at some point e.g. a forgotten memory. I am using " unconscious " as defined exhaustively by Jung. Yes marriage has more to do with Dharma than the " unconscious " as you use the term. However, what is the mechanism by which Dharma influences your physical actions? Is it a material object that restrains your action, much like a physical leash restrains a dog? You will agree it is non-material, no? Vedic texts define several sareera (bodies) which are non material which somehow influence the functioning of the material body. The question is how? Vedic and Indian texts in general start from the Indian and Eastern conception of " ultimate " reality, which to them is non-material - atma etc. So they focus more on defining non-material concepts and not too much on delineating exactly how they affect the material world, only the results of those effects. So you hear statements like " Good dharma [non-material object] leads to good marriage[very material and experienceable] " without any supporting proof showing the mechanism by which this dharma controls marriage. Western texts on the other hand are grounded in what THEY consider the ultimate reality, which is the PHYSICAL world. So they focus always on the mechanisms by which things act on physical reality, in order to give that thing the status of " real " . Until they see a mechanism they deny its reality. This leads to a great divide between Eastern and Western thought, and in many ways, this divide is reflected in the minds of many people. Jung, being a Westerner, did a great service in unifying eastern and western thought, by showing that the unconscious of human beings is not only a vast repository of information, but that information is not simply forgotten information, but may have things the human never knew about, and can have considerable power over the human's behavior. In short, he essentially showed a mechanism by which a whole array of non-material Eastern concepts can actually influence the life of a human. To an intellectual mongrel like myself, that is important. So my understanding is " Dharma may act through one's unconscious in order to influence one's marriage " . In the posts you are referring to, I was only discussing these mechanisms, without contradicting marriage's dependence on Dharma.. Whew..

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 |om gurave namah| Dear Sundeep, dear Soul, There was no need for such long mails for which I thank you anyway. Sundeep, I think we agree in toto. In the beginning, Vistiji had written: “Planets in the seventh show the exact opposite nature of whom we are i.e Mars in the seventh makes a person very caring and nice...†and “Opposites attract is really the theme for the seventh, and so also what you are seeking in relationships also indicates how you will behave.†Now I have to struggle with my English: Assuming Vistiji was refering to the seventh from lagna, the question “Who would look for a fighting spouse?†came to my mind. Since then, neither diluting considerations relying on psychoanalysis nor the coming of a Ruchak Yoga as a deus ex machina could rescue these vague statements. Strictly, the seventh –from lagna- being the door through which we interact with the world doesn’t imply it indicates what we are seeking in relationships. The seventh from Venus would make more sense. Besides, opposites don’t necessarily attracts. With kind regards, Piere-Olivier Loisel P.S. What does “Whew...†mean?

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 | om gurave namah | Dear Visti ji, pranams You wrote: "Saying that Mars in seventh makes a person look for a fighting spouse is like saying that Saturn in seventh makes a person look for a dead spouse." We agree, it was absurd since the beginning. (Now, this new argument is also wrong. Personnally, I only would say Saturn in the 7th – from Venus – may indicate an older spouse.) If the seventh were “what you are seeking in relationships†according to you whereas “Mars in the [same] seventh causes sorrow in married life†(COVA p. 255), then it would follow that Mars in the seventh makes a person looking for sorrow on account of the spouse.
