QUOTATION from

" Caring is a reflex.

Someone slips, your arm goes out.

A car is in the ditch, you join the others and push.

You live, you help. " [end quote]

QUOTATION from

Be Here Now 1931-2019 Baba Ram Dass

" The spiritual journey is individual, highly personal.

It can' t be organized or regulated.

Masculine Public-Figure Examples

Aśleṣa

Aśleṣās - Naga - Uraga - Azreshasha - Hydra - Aayilyam - Bhujamaghabha

BPL COMMENTARY

For Aśleṣa births of a masculine valence, the condition of conversational, discursive, explanatory, instructional, argumentative, commercializing, evangelical Kumara may considerably affect the outcome.

For those born into the Budha-ruled paradigm of Uraga, siblings, cousins, schoolmates, bandmates, team-mates, castmates, classmates, entourage, ensemble, neighbors, managers, cohort, coterie, collaborative group, publishers, messengers, merchants, commercial agents, reporters, writers, scripts, plans, schedules, instructions, radio-television-internet, news-media, conferences, committees, discussions, travel itineraries, and texts may be especially influential.

Instructional guidance provided by emissaries from the civilizations of Hydra. their purpose is to hold securely, twist, and control.

Call to Roots

[Busy Bantering Budha] -ruled Aśleṣā-born are typically storytellers. They are protective, parentally concerned, emotionally responsive communicators.

Intensely patriotic and often xenophobic, Naga-born harken to the old ways, the familiar rhythms, the folk stories which bind an ethno-cultural people to their roots. Aśleṣā have a particular genius for evoking ancestral guilt, ethnic narratives, and ancient resentments.

Aśleṣā have a particular genius for evoking ethnic narratives and ancient resentments.

Emotionally engaged and gesturing [Budha] in their discursive style, Hydra-born are often accomplished writers in literary genre ranging from political speech-scripters to parenting advice to folktale raconteurs. They specialize in tropes of root-culture, customs and habits, protection of the genetic stock, stabilization of the place of settlement, and defenseof a way of life.

Bhujamaghabha speak the stories of a people in their land. It is the tale of a beginning in the watery mists, travel by ship, the struggle to farm and build, the cry for protection of a parental god, and finally the rooted possession of their place.

Hydra-born are natural environmentalists who prefer conversations about parenthood, ritual worship and holidays, food and farms, schools, roads and housing, with an emphasis ensuring continuity of culture. Depending upon the condition of parental Chandra, Aśleṣa fathers may bind their children closely.

In leadership roles, the Naga-born may communicate in a swaying, hypnotic jargon, talking in the familiar folk style, appealing to the base layers of the society, recalling an ancient past. Their sentimental audience is rapt with feeling. Their rhetoric is soothing, repetitive, simple, and homey, like a parental lullaby, soothing the baby's cries.

Once lulled, the Naga's quarry may be bound and captured, lashed to the safe place. It is a bondage ritual, repeated to ensure that nourishment can continue and ethnic customs can repeat in an unbroken, rhythmic flow.

Aśleṣās-born may be found in socially powerful messaging roles . They come to prominence when a tribe is weakened at the root and feeling vulnerable. An ancient racial narrative is invoked. This storyline may beseech a people to strap themselves to the land and waters which give sustenance. Its clarion call rallies the fyrd, the farmers' army, the simple folk's defense of their habitual rhythms of protection. To this place they are bound by hunger, by vulnerability, by a need for safety.

Themes of tight bindings, holding to roots, emotional restraint, and defense of ancient folkways may contextualize Naga's terrestrial experience. Applies also to Chandra in Aśleṣa - Naga.

QUOTATION Aśleṣa

from Shil-Ponde.(1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 82

" Outstanding characteristic of these people

is their rather unpleasant and unsociable disposition.

They are awkward and gauche in their manners

and are not quick to profit by their mistake s
because of their inability to adapt themselves to their surroundings
and their apparent reluctance to be gracious or kind to others.

This attitude militates against success in life

and is a barrier to progress.

These people should live less introspectively

and learn to appreciate the good in other people.

They should cultivate the habit of doing things for others. "

[end quote, Shil Pondey, 1939]

2-speech ruled by [Revatī-Surya-yuti-Rahu-Revatī] [9] in 6/8 from 2

when Surya rules 6th-from-Surya = provocative street-speech [2] .

Contradicting his affluent upbringing and his university credentials, RD's oral expression could be slang-speaking and insultingly vulgar.

A gifted storyteller [2] and jokester [2]

Much beloved by counterculture youth-audiences for eschewing false politeness and "telling it like it is". Surya-yuti-Rahu contributes to a theatrical, over-reaching speech-style.

Also, Budha-10 Learners may be reputed for talking, discussion, explanation. RD's high-impact [Mesha] description of Breaking through the consensus perceptual field did indeed liberate many readers. But those who loved his books [3] often found his physical speech [2] to be arrogant - even offensive [Surya arrogant, Rahu excessive].

Tragically, RD lost considerable speech ability via expressive aphasia condequent to a major cerebral haemorrhage during his Mangala-Ketu bhukti = Ketu-3

Rahu-Surya ruled by [Guru in bhava-12]

For fifty years, from 1968 until biodecease in 2019, RD held an unofficial, un-ordained, high-charisma, [Surya] iconic role as a Euro-American counterculture spiritual guide [Rahu-Meena ] .

Dhana-pati-Surya-Revatī [shepherding] = focused on restoration [2] of heritage values

Rahu-9 = culture-mixer

RD re-speaking of historic mystical tradition [2] allowed both collections of heritage values to spread into the audience of globally oriented Anglosphere youth.

[1] his Jewish upbringing
[2] his adopted Hindu-Vendanta identity

For those attuned to these knowledge-bases [2]

RD's pithy talks [2 voice] showed a brighter, clearer view [Surya-Meena , broad perspective]

Rahu-yuti-Surya ruled by invisible wildness [Guru in fantasizing-charitable Arudra-4]

his methods included trance-dancing, passionate kirtans, free love, and psychotropic substances

RD repackaged a stream of historic Indic lineage knowledge [Rahu-yuti-Surya-9 rules 2-tradition] to re-introduce ancient sacred heritage into modern stree-tlevel folk parlance

Shining with the brilliant light of Divine being [Surya], RD gleefully transgressed long-standing cultural barriers [Rahu]
His charismatic encouragement to follow personal experiential truth = passionately engaged a restless, adventurous, emotionally distressed, young audience

RD = celebrated boundary-breacher cultural-mixer Bright Light of an adventurous generation

Trine-exchange of two nīcha-graha - both of which intake drishti of believing, imaginative Rahu-Meena-9 - -- did not remove the nicha implications. Rather, the nicha-producers were amplified with waves of shame and desire until degradation forced a break-through. Not once, but many times.

QUOTATION from Ram Dass "I Crochet"

" I was giving this lecture back in the 70's and everybody in those days wore white, and they had flowers in their hair and we sang a lot, and we were all - it was like an explorers club coming together, and sitting in the front row was this woman about 70 years old and she had - she had a bonnet on with little strawberries, plastic strawberries, and cherries and things and she had a black patent leather bag and solid Oxfords and a print dress and she = very - I kept thinking, she was so unlike everybody else in the audience, ikept thinking what is she doing here.

I thought maybe she's somebody's grandmother or somebody brought her or -
so I would tell these far out stories that what happened to me under psychedelics for the most part or deep meditation,
and I'd look over and she'd be going like this, and I thought well maybe she has a neck problem.

I mean it was inconceivable to me that she could understand what I was talking about, and she kept going like this and I kept getting more far out and watching - I mean the whole evening became focused on this woman.

And at the end I couldn't stand it, the evening was over.

And I just had to know and I kind of smiled her up - actually couldn't get away, and she came up and she said oh thank you that's - the way you said it she said that's just the way I understand the universe to be, and I said, how do you know?

What have you done in your life that has put you in the space where you know these things, and she leaned forward very conspiratorially and she said, I crochet, and that moment of realizing that just the simplest thing, that in the way she did that took her into those spaces and realizing at that moment that I had gotten so hooked on my method , and that methods are methods are methods and people do it all different kinds of ways ..."
