A SOURCE OF REFUGE (bhava-12)

HH Dalai Lama

• Tantra in Tibet
• p. 29-30

"Day and night, night and day we spend our lives in the company of the afflictions,

generating desire for the pleasant and anger at the unpleasant,

and continue thus even when dreaming,

unable to remain relaxed, our minds completely

and utterly mixed with thoughts of desire and hatred without interruption.

To what refuge should we go?

• A source of refuge must have completely overcome all defects forever; it must be free of all faults.
• It must also have all the attributes of altruism—those attainments which are necessary for achieving others' welfare.
• For it is doubtful that anyone lacking these two prerequisites can bestow refuge; it would be like falling into a ditch and asking another who is in it to help you out.
• You need to ask someone who is standing outside the ditch for help; it is senseless to ask another who is in the same predicament.
• A refuge capable of protecting from the frights of manifold sufferings cannot also be bound in this suffering but must be free and unflawed.

Furthermore, the complete attainments are necessary, for if you have fallen into a ditch, it is useless to seek help from someone standing outside it who does not wish to help or who wishes to help but has no means to do so.

Only a Buddha has extinguished all faults and gained all attainments.

Therefore, one should mentally go for refuge to a Buddha, praise him with speech, and respect him physically.

One should enter the teaching of such a being."

~~ Madhya Parashari, Ch. 9 , Shloka 12

The twelfth house stands for expenses, paternal wealth, criticism, and the left eye etc.

Christian Science Healer-Teacher Mary Baker Eddy

"Audible prayer can never do the works of spiritual understanding, which regenerates;

• but silent prayer, watchfulness, and devout obedience enable us to follow Jesus' example.

Long prayers, superstition, and creeds clip the strong pinions of Love, and clothe Religion in human forms.

Whatever materializes worship hinders man's spiritual growth and keeps him from demonstrating his power over error."

Unmarked Boxes

Don't grieve.

Anything you lose comes round in another form.

The child weaned from mother's milk now drinks wine and honey mixed.

God's joy moves from unmarked box to unmarked box, from cell to cell.

As rainwater, down into flower bed.

As roses, up from ground.

Now it looks like a plate of rice and fish, now a cliff covered with vines, now a horse being saddled.

It hides within these, till one day it cracks them open.

Part of the self leaves the body when we sleep and changes shape.

You might say, "Last night I was a cypress tree, a small bed of tulips, a field of grapevines."

Then the phantasm goes away.

You're back in the room.

I don't want to make any one fearful.

Hear what's behind what I say.

Tatatumtum tatum tatadum.

There's the light gold of wheat in the sun and the gold of bread made from that wheat.

I have neither.

I'm only talking about them, as a town in the desert looks up at stars on a clear night.

Lama Angaraka Govinda,

The Inner Structure of the I Ching

Unless intuition is translated into clear thought,

it will have no effect on our life,

because no force can act until it is formed and directed.

Behind the Veil

Boundaried and unboundaried

Activities of bhava-12 occur primarily "behind the veil" on the astral plane.

Dreams, meditations, and prescient apprehension occur in the native 's imagination. The "imagination" is the field of imagery surrounding and penetrating the physical body.

Although psychic imagery from the astral plane feels "unreal" compared to five-senses hard reality, astral information is not inherently misleading or invalid. Rather, astral imagery is the seed from which most material experience will later develop.

Clairsentient skill is necessary to receive the guidance so freely offered by angels and other missionaries who show the pathway from physical to astral wisdom. Uchcha graha in bhava-12 or L-12 in exaltation may indicate birth endowed with clairvoyant, clairaudient, or other clairsentient capabilities.

• Periods of L-12= dissolution and deterioration, usually a slow process, including loss of attachment to the body and gradual cessation of physical movement, increasing the identification with the sleep-dream state

• Periods of L-12 from Chandramay induce a tremendous sense of emotional loss which is deep and ineffable, and goes on for years (perhaps an entire mahadasha of L-12-from-Chandra.) One born into the period of L-12-from-Chandra may carry this sense of loss for a lifetime; similarly if the L-12-from-Chandra plays a critical role in identity construction such as location in kendra, esp in lagna. This is a sad period despite other gains and successes that may be associated with the gifts of the graha which is L-12-from-Soma.

When lagnesha occupies bhava-12, the native is greatly inclined toward "bed pleasures" when lagnesha occupies bhava-12. Naturally, bhava-12 being 6th-from-7th, the unboundaried activities in this house are known for their animosity toward the boundaried contract of marriage.

Yet one rarely achieves emotional intimacy of genuinely shared partnership, due to being so identified with the world inside one's own head.

12 = Brihaspati's bhava of "private religion"

9 = public spiritual guidance

12 = retreat from the material world

• In regard to the potential negatives in bhava-12, outcome of the script depends on the qualities of the L-12 and graha residing in bhava-12. bhava-12 is the least harmful of the three major dushthamsha ( bhava 6, 8 and 12).

• In addition to the negative associations of "loss" which accompany the "12th-from" angle from any lagna, Vyaya bhava has a number of highly positive associations such as

• spiritual meditation retreat, dream visions, prophetic revelation, clairsentient intelligence, and the safety of sanctuary in hospitals and monasteries.

• Guru's bhava of "public religion" = dharma bhava

• Matters of bhava-12 are inherently private.

• As an active agent, the L-12 can communicate one's private, imaginative information into the public consciousness are that is indicated by the house occupied by the L-12. However this will only happen if the L-12 is empowered to do so. By default, matters of vyaya bhava begin in privacy and remain hidden from all but the most intimate companions.

bhava-12 rules the bed and "bed pleasures". The particular companion with whom one shares matters of bhava-12 is the bed companion.

• Ironically, bhava-12 = 6th-from-7th, which suggests that the private intimacy of bed pleasures and the deep psychic communion experienced by those who sleep together is an activity adversarial to marriage.

• Indeed, marriage is a saliently public activity. Marriage is a its basis a social contract detailing mutual duties and benefits.

• The other-worldly matters of bhava-12 drain the native 's energy away from the performance of contractual social duties, away from the upholding of promises and agreements, and "backwards" toward the past-life and the contract-less permissions of the private bed.

• The three "moksha"or "liberation" houses - bandhu bhava , randhra bhava , and vyaya bhava - all show the native 's advance from material desires to spiritual dissolution of desire. It is desire which causes incarnation, and the dissolution of desire which permits liberation.

• The twelve rashi (signs) are divided into three equal sections. The foundation section of each chart, houses 1-4, proceeds from the creation of physical body itself at house-1, and ends in the "resting place, end of matters" of bandhu bhava.

• Bandhu Bhava profiles destruction of the one's ego-attachment to the products of Tanu Bhava - the end of individuality, merging into the family identity. This merging of individual into family causes destruction of one's primitive identification with individual desires - and elevates the consciousness to the natural affection of putra bhava.

the personal creativity section, houses 5-8, proceeds from the creation of bodies for children or ideas at house-5 and ends in "emergent mystery" of Randhra bhava. In the 8th house, one merges ego-attachment to products of personal creativity into the larger cosmic creative forces. (That is why healing is an 8th-house function.)

This merging causes destruction of one's primitive identification with one's own children, creative works, personal achievement, etc. - and elevates the consciousness to the natural compassion of dharma bhava dharma bhava .

The contribution-to-civilization section, houses 9-12, proceeds from the creation of a body of wisdom-knowledge at house-9, and ends in "full dissolution" of the social identity in Vyaya bhava. In the 12th house, one merges the socially defined religious, philosophical level of truth with the ultimate universal truth.

This merging causes destruction of one's primitive identification with one's own religion, philosophical beliefs, knowledge, etc. - and elevates the consciousness to the natural liberation of Vyaya Bhava, "redemption".

Vyaya bhava, its lord, 12th-from-Chandra, 12th-navamsha, and L12 in Chaturamsha, give prognosis for spiritual liberation in this life.

L-12 = an extremely influential graha. Due to its material invisibility, the 12th house may be underestimated or even ignored by materialistic positivists (Budha, Shani, Shukra folk).

However, the L-12 is a powerful agent of instruction.

This graha shows what the ancestors want you to do.

• They will speak to you in dreams.

• They will meet you at the bridge when you cross over from physical consciousness to astral consciousness.

• They have a broader perspective and can guide you if you will tune your senses to pick up their signals.

• They want the best for you, since you are sustaining the lineage into which they will eventually be reborn!

• If L-12 = Instructor-Explainer-Describer Lord Budha, ancestral instructions will be complex, detailed and abundant (12)

Thich Nhat Hanh

"If you look deeply into the palm of your hand,

you will see your parents and all generations of your ancestors.

All of them are alive in this moment.

Each is present in your body.

You are the continuation of each of these people."

bhava-12 represent the subconscious mind and its imagery, Astral world of dreams, andimagistic communication from ancestor spirits.

L-12 is associated with "loss". But this is a tricky area. L-12 does not automatically or even naturally give loss. What it does tend to give is confusion and dissociation, which create a psychic disturbance which results in unclear decisions which THEN give loss!

But matters of L-12 are not inherently evil nor is loss inevitable.L-12 may facilitate many types of gain, actually.

In a strong nativity, the ability to distinguish and heed (when appropriate) the instructions of the spirits as a non-material but often valuable level of information, can be a tremendous asset in life leading to gains of skill and wisdom

What L-12 does cause is "loss of personal control". Matters of bhava-12 are rarely subject to conscious control.

The L-12 expresses the voice of the ancestors. This is a literal voice (usually a collection of voices) which the average person only hears in dreams or as a background "suggestion" in waking life.

Clairaudient folk can hear these voices in normal daily process, and they understand that the voices come from the spirits of those with whom one has past-life association.

However normal people cannot usually distinguish the voice of the ancestors. Most people confuse the voice of the spirits with their own natural voice expressing the body-mind's wishes and desires.

Due to the confusion (which is due to a lack of 'musical training') most people experience signals from the ancestors as unconscious manipulation. Things seem to be going exactly opposite of plan. That is precisely what I didn't want. What a terrible result, a failure after all my work. Etc.

The astral programming is felt as a drain upon one's personal desire and a cause of " inevitable loss".

But this is not a problem of malicious spirits! It is a problem of psychic discrimination. It is necessary to learn to separate the desires of those who are no longer in bodies and who wish to use your body to accomplish their intentions, versus the desires of one's own self who is in a body and who should have priority in choosing what the body will or will not do.

Matters of vyaya bhava is composed entirely of images and are not amenable to rational analysis, thought or planning.

However, bhava-12's activities can be rationally interpreted or analyzed at some remove (e.g., via Divination.)

L-12 Collaboration with the Spirits, Re-connection to Past Lives

bhava-12 rules one's previous lifetime.There are still many "live" connections from that lifetime which seek a voice in one's current life. Those spirit voices from the astral plane "break through" via the L-12, using the vehicle of its radix and navamsha house.

L-12 Loss turned to Gain

• Matters of vyaya bhava can be skillfully directed through meditative communication with spirits, and that awful sense of malicious manipulation and "loss" can be completely avoided. One can experience a feeling of cooperation and connection with one's past lives and those who were beloved in those lives!

• This Astral re-connection when fully established is not at all a loss but a very satisfying gain! However it is necessary to pay the "bridge toll" of surrendering one's rigid ego-expectationsof how things "should" be going in the current life, at regarding matters of the house which is occupied by the L-12!

• In vyaya bhava and in the house occupied by vyaya's lord, it is essential to have collaborative working relations with the spirits!

Losses on Good Account

• Vyaya bhava provides "losses on good account" - that is, material losses converted to spiritual gain, the gain of moksha or liberation.

• Charitable donations, expenses of holy pilgrimage, and earnings lost while time is spent in meditation and selfless service, are the type of financial loss profiled in bhava-12 and 12th-from-Moon.

Loss of Personal Identity

• Periods of L-12 involve loss of identity. If L-12 is strong - e.g. uchcha, swakshetra, or Vargottamshain important vargas - then the loss of identity may be quite severe. The identity will return, in a more seasoned and spiritualized form, when the period of L-12 has passed.

• Periods of L-12 often involve shocking losses of lifestyle, social definition, identity-defining relationships (such as marriage), and even parts of the physical body. L-12 is a karaka for conflict in marriage and business partnerships. However+ L-12 is not a death karaka.

Foreign residence or extended foreign travel

• Periods of L-12 frequently involve foreign travel. Being away from home creates a moderate loss of identity. Usually without recognizing it, one is returning instinctively to countries and cultures where one has taken previous births. Foreign travel may seem purposeful for business or holiday objectives, but underneath the seeming purpose is a quest to reconnect with memories which contain essential information about the Self.

• Because one cannot understand the language, customs, foods, family relations, etc. of the foreign land, the awareness is liberated for additional reflection. Foreign travel is thus for most people an extended meditation. Or at least, foreign travel is a meditation opportunity. In reality most people simply sleep more when they are away from their homelands.

• Living or sojourning in a land where one does not speak the language or understand the customs creates a serious loss of identity. Long lasting periods of L-12 will move the native through a number of identity-losing environments.

• The type of foreign travel that insulates the tourist from the culture around them, such as business conferences in international hotels, packaged holiday tours, etc., are expressions of bhava-3 (short trips). The period of L-12 should produce more substantial disorientation.

If L-12 is strong, and rules two travel houses, forecast significant personality-identity loss through living in a foreign culture during the period of L-12.

E.g., Shukra for Vrischika lagna rules both bhava-7 and domain 12; Guru for Mesha lagna rules both bhava-9 and bhava-12.

As with all L-12 effects, this loss of identity which puts the ego "on hold" for awhile, gives the native An invaluable experience of ego disengagement, which advances spiritual awareness..

Lagnesha in bhava-12

If lagnesha occupies bhava-12, identity remains weakened throughout life. the native may be a spiritual aspirant, a late-in-life immigrant, a subordinate in domineering relationships, or they may work in a sanctuary enclosure such as hospital, monastery, prison, or research lab. Whatever the environmental cause, the native 's identity is masked (often by a uniform) and their ego individuality is constrained by the obscurity of their role.

Sacrifice, Selflessness

• Given its task to complete dissolution of all three developmental stages of ego-attachment, it is easy to see why Vyaya is the preeminent house of sacrifice. Latin "Sacra" means sacred; "ficere" means to do or make. "Sacrifice" is the process of transforming a lower vibrational entity into a higher vibrational entity. Sacrifice, whether "willing" or not, is the keynote of Vyaya Bhava.

Spouse and children

• As 6th-from-7th bhava-12 signifies conflict in marriage and business partnership. During periods of L-12, the conflict may manifest as spouse/partner's illness, financial troubles, law breaking, or other imbalanced behaviors.

• As 8th-from-5th, Vyaya bhava turns the cycle of birth and death regarding children. L-12 is *not* a karaka for death of child. Rather+ L-12 signifies major phoenix-like trauma and healings, including surgeries or psychic therapies, for the children - esp. the first child.

BPHS Ch. 24, shloka 24

"If Dhana's lord is in Vyaya Bhava, the native will

be adventurous, be devoid of wealth,and be interested in other's wealth,

while his eldest child will not keep him happy."

Marriage problems in bhava-12:

6th-from-7th indicates Animosity in marriage and illness or indebtedness of the [first] spouse

Gems for L-12

If your 12th house or its lord is strong AND you are married, do not wear the gem for L-12! Doing so encourages marital conflict.

By contrast+ L-12 can be a very auspiciousplanet for thecelibate religious.

If you have taken vows of austerity, you consciously desire ego-detachment, and you like living in an enclosed space, then L-12 will help you to achieve your meditative goals.

If you are finished having a personality - just really done with it - by all means accept the gift of the gem for L-12!

Fantasies, Imagination, and Pleasures

As the wellspring of detachment from material reality and the bridge between one's current and previous lives, Vyaya houses the subconscious, the imagination, dreams, and fantasies. All moksha houses are "resting places" or beds. Naturally Vyaya is associated with "bed pleasures" - romantic-sexual fantasies, and the companions who help us indulge them.

Perhaps ironically, elaborate sexual imagination detracts from the "business" of marriage. As 10th-from-10th, yuvati bhava is primarily concerned with public status gained through partnership. As 3rd-from-5th, yuvati focuses on "task" of producing children. While the "task" is famously accomplished in approximately three minutes, matters of Vyaya bhava are liberated from the ego-attachment to time... So there is a natural animosity between the public performance of marriage duties versus the resource-squandering private indulgence in "bed pleasures".

Of course it is possible to develop the romantic and sexual imagination within the bounds of holy matrimony. However, yuvati bhava is an "artha"or material gains house. Ego-attachment to status of marriage is a good thing for the stability of organized society, but it is not a good thing for spiritual liberation. One of the peculiar effects of loosening of ego bondage to public status is the loosening of rules for expressions of love.

Thus those with a strong Vyaya 2nd-from-11th(sensual enjoyment of extramarital affairs) may enjoy the company of outside lovers. Alternatively, they may prefer divine love to human love, and accordingly seek sanctuary in monastic life.

Recent worldwide proliferation of "love marriage" as opposed to traditional arranged marriage signals both loosening of parental ego and the breakdown of society through weakening of marriage duty. Check the relationship between Vyaya (bed pleasures), putra (sentimental love), labha (extramarital affairs), and yuvati (formal marriage) bhava to determine the native 's balance.

• left eye

• feet

• lymph system

• wounds from accidents

Strong Vyaya bhava gives clear vision through the left eye and also energetic clarity of reflective intuition, the psychic "left eye". Feet will be intelligent making an excellent dancer.

Conversely, malefic effect on Vyaya sthana may provide trouble from sluggish lymph drainage or wounds that resist healing, with extended convalescence, especially during L12 periods.

the native blessed with strong Vyaya bhava (feet) and Sahaja bhava (hands) can be skilled in healing through foot reflexology.

Repaying of Debts Foreign Residence - Foreign Travel

Sleep

H.H. Dalai Lama.(1999).

• Consciousness at the Crossroads: Conversations with the Dalai Lama on Brain Science and Buddhism.

• Zara Houshmand, R.B. Livingston, and B. A. Wallace (Eds.).

... in non-trained subjects, when we perform awakenings in the various stages of sleep, we get less and less evidence of conscious experience.

In other words, the deepest stage of non-dreaming sleep, defined physiologically, is associated in our untrained subjects with very low levels of consciousness.

And in fifty percent of the awakenings there is no evidence of consciousness at all."

Thubten Jinpa:

• "I think there is a certain misunderstanding of this term "consciousness."

• In the Western philosophical or psychological term, consciousness is conscious,

• whereas, when Buddhist translators use the term, it has a wider meaning. It includes both the subconscious and unconscious levels as well."

Alan Wallace:

• "The terms "conscious" and "unconscious" are not used in Buddhism.

• Rather, one speaks of differing degrees of clarity and subtlety of awareness.

• Even when someone has fainted, for example, and is regarded, in Western terms, as unconscious, from a Buddhist perspective a subtle level of consciousness is still present."

Dalai Lama:

"As early as the seventh stage [of the eight stages of sleep,] approaching deep sleep, you would say that your awareness has declined.

That is, the mind is not clearly apprehending anything.

• In Buddhist psychology, we refer to sleep as one of many mental factors.

• There are fifty-one mental factors, among which sleep is one.

• But it is said that the mental factor of sleep precedes the deep sleep state, meaning the non-dreaming state,

• just as fear may proceed fainting without going into it.

Consider an analogy:

Once you have fainted, you feel no fear. However, it can be fear that leads to your fainting.

So the fear doesn't go with you into the fainting.

Thus, analogously, in the non-dreaming deep sleep state, the mental factor of sleep has already passed."

astral plane imagery

Graha in bhava-12 require special handling in life.

Graha in 12 may provide remarkable clairsentience,according to the perceptual capabilities of the graha.

E.g.,

• Surya perceives a source of divine identity in other worlds,

• Chandra is emotionally hyper-perceptive, and deeply connected to the ancestors

• Kuja senses an astral challenger or predator, and subconscious aggressions by this challenger may result in victimization

• Budha is mentally-analytically clairsentient; when well-disposed, Budha can communicate the instructions of the astral guides

• Guru senses the presence of ancestor-teachers who provide wisdom-guidance through meditation and dreams

• Shukra notices sensual pleasures in the dream space; ancestral partners can influence how one seeks to balance and harmonize in life

• Shani can detect the astral imagery of ancient fears and shortages, historic punishments, and threats to survival.

Clairsentience

The "clairsentient"experience generated by graha in bhava-12 is absolutely real, but it is not "materially" real. Therefore the native with strong graha in 12 must learn to distinguish the real experience of the astral realm from the real terrain of the physical realm! And also to appreciate that most of the perceptions encountered in the astral world will not likely materializeinto gross physical form, at least not without special tantrik highly focused concentrated attention to the complexities of the intentional materialization process.

Periods of L-12

Cleanliness

"The environment where you are doing the meditationshould be properly cleaned.

While cleaning, you should cultivate the motivation that since you are engaged in the task of accumulating great stores of merit by inviting the hosts of buddhas and bodhisattvas to this environment, it is important to have a clean place.

• You should see that all the external dirt and dust around you is basically a manifestation of the faults and stains within your own mind.

• You should see that the most important aim is to purge these stains and faults from within your mind.

• Therefore , as you cleanse the environment, think that you are also purifying your mind.

Develop the very strong thought that by cleaning this place you are inviting the host of buddhas and bodhisattvas who are the most supreme merit field, and that you will subsequently engage in a path that will enable you to purge your mind of the stains of delusions."
