Transcendent Wisdom by H.H. Dalai Lama, translated, ed. annotated B. Alan Wallace. p 44:

• To disciples of increasing purity, ability, and rarity the Buddha gave more private guidance in the subtle mysteries.
  • It appears that such teachings are included in the Mahayana sutras.
  • There is no certainty, however, that all of the tantras were taught while the historical Buddha was alive.
• To an extremely small number of pure disciples the Buddha could appear today.
  • They could encounter Vajradhara, the King of the Tantras, and he could reveal tantras and quintessential guidance to them.
  • This is possible even though more than twenty-five hundred years have gone by since the historical Buddha passed away.
• There is no possibility, after the Buddha's death, of additions being made to his public discourses.
  • But I think that teachings to disciples of pure action do not necessarily have to be given during the historical Buddha's lifetime.

Everyone is clairvoyant at birth, but few people have full permission to develop this "magical" power.

• Clairvoyance = second-sight vision that allows a person to "see" the myriad, coherent thought patterns which are scattered around the aura.

• In clairvoyant sight, these patterns appear as images of light, color, and shape. Many and photographic images.

Everyone is clairvoyant in one's dreams and one's daydreams.

Most mothers are strongly clairvoyant and clairaudient with their children, and mother's intuition is famously correct.

• Mothers often assert their right to use and value the gift of maternal intuition. If something untoward happens to their child, most mothers will know instantly.

• They might suppress the knowledge if they are distracted with other tasks, but the message will be flashing on their psychic screen and they will KNOW.

• Many women are also clairsentient within their larger family circle, with their female friends and coworkers, and their husbands. Within all intimate circles of human relationship, subconscious messages are being exchanged constantly.

Modern men are equally clairvoyant. Unfortunately as a general rule, mainstream modern western men suffer restricted permission to acknowledge the information they receive on their clairvoyant channels. Actualmente, men are rather rigorously trained "not to know".

Saint Clare of Assisi(by Simone Martini, c. 1312) St. Clare is the patron saint of clairvoyants, gilders and gold, telepathy, telegraph, telephone, and television -->>

Depending on the scope of one's gift and the depth of their meditation commitment, a clairvoyant may be able to detect and interpret light-and-color patterns around a person, a family, a town, or an entire planet.

Groups of clairvoyants monitor the aura around Earth, and always have. The vidya of Jyotisha as we receive it today, originates with the meditating Rishis who looked clairvoyantly into the heavens.

A clairvoyant human may be gifted to see another person's present, their past, or their future. A clairvoyant might be able to see the present and not the past, or vice versa. A clairvoyant might be able to see disease patterns but not financial patterns, or vice versa. A clairvoyant might see past lives in prominent religious or political positions, but not in wars or normal family scenes.

A clairvoyant might only be able to see normal family scenes, and not violent or prestige actions. Clairvoyant perception is limited by the permission levels embedded in the thought patterns of the clairvoyant him/herself.

Most astrologers east and west have clairvoyant capabilities to some degree. Most people in any line of work are actually clairvoyant to some degree, but few lines of work (Shani) offer much cultural praise (Guru) for the use of spiritual insight. The less effect Shani has on Budha, and the strong the relationship between Budha and Chandra, the greater the native 's permission to develop their clairvoyant abilities in this life.

Clairvoyance is a natural part of human intelligence, but it benefits from training and conscious development similar to training in art and music. The more training, the easier and faster the psychic information presents itself.

Jyotisha reading vs. "Psychic Reading"

• I am cross-trained and I can do both modalities, so I am acutely aware of the difference.

• Ketu the Undefended should occupy a dushthamsha (ideally, 8 or 12) to "unblock" the second-sight and second-hearing.

• Historically in northern Europe (my lineage) some in each generation have the capacity to see into the Wyrd.

  • (These have largely been women diviners, and their craft of hearing the dead called "witchcraft" has been severely punished by male religious hierarchies, so most of this "hearing" continues in clandestine form even now.)

Psychic readings areimpulsive.

• This type of reading responds to the native 's intense, momentary emotions.

  • Positive emotions such as joy and gratitude

  • but also (more typically) negative emotions such as anxiety, anger, or fear.

• The emotions are visually expressed in the color-picture-patterning of the Astral body.

Most clients approach a psychic reading with high anxiety. The client is normally excited, hoping for spiritual validation, but also afraid of receiving invalidation.

A general truth of all readings is that:

• whatever else the clairvoyant reader may see in the aura,

• even if the information might elicit a negative value judgment from some social agency (parent, spouse, government) -

• nevertheless the clientsalways needsa simple, childlike level of spiritual validation.

Once the spirit is validated with positive affirming language, then details of the aura patterns, alternating light and dark, flecked with gold and sometimes quite radiant in golden light, may be offered.

A good psychic reader will acknowledge the native 's passions and fears (which mainly boil down to, will I be loved or will I get social approval) and articulate a few of the major pictures that are flashing around in the person's aura. That's it. No planning, no long-term responsibility, for setting and meeting goals on the life path.

Jyotisha readings by contrast areplanned.

The Jyotisha view of spirit is detailed, in-depth, quite rational and logically structured, and the readings require hours of preparation.

• In contrast to the passive "snapshot of the moment" provided by a psychic reading, the Jyotisha reading paints a broad vista of the 120-year life path, and predicts the logical consequences of the planetary behaviors occurring on schedule.

• Emotional reactions ideally do not interrupt the flow of interpretation.

the native is encouraged to take responsibility for the unfolding of the knowledge along one's path. One can act intentionally or react impulsively. Naturally, intentional action will give the best spiritual results.

The Jyotisha reading is a very different type of information (120 year life path), a different intention (personal responsibility), and a different psychic environment (calm reasoning) than an aura reading.

The Jyotisha reading will reveal the spirit's predisposition toward a certain style of public service or a certain type of interaction in marriage. the native is encouraged to observe this outflow of karma very carefully. The Jyotisha reading is a superb framework for self-knowledge.

In a non-reactive state, one can appreciate that this entire detailed flow of events is the manifestation of divine intelligence in one's own unique personal sphere. Each event, whether "easy" or "difficult", "moral" or "immoral", "beneficial" or "hurtful" is indeed the fruit of one's own thoughts. How to change the fruit? Change the thoughts!

The thoughts behind the feelings

Few people seriously consider The power of changing/observing one's thoughts. Suppressing feelings yes, but changing the thoughts behind the feelings, probably not. The Jyotisha reading might be the first time that the native has considered a clear distinction between causal (mental), astral (emotional), and physical levels of the human aura.

If the clairvoyant reader is strongly grounded in a non-prescriptive, non-judgmental state of love with the Supreme Being (true faith) then a psychic reading can be a powerful, life-affirming experience.

Excellent book which explains in very simple terms how to engage the thoughts as an engine for creating the desired manifestation:

• The Magic of Believing, by Claude M. Bristol. Written in 1948. Brief, direct, funny, with clear instructions. Highly recommended. (Available via inexpensive paperback book and possibly online versions too.)

Clairvoyant guidance in the Jyotisha readings

In truth, I use some clairvoyant guidance in choosingthe optimal Jyotisha reading vocabularythat will more closely match the querent's range of perception.

• Human languageis a very limited tool for expressing spiritual concepts.

• Luckily English language is such a hodge-podge of different vocabularies from a variety of feeder languages, that a bit of specificityin word choice is available to me.

• I use instantaneous clairvoyant sensing to determine whether a particular word will cause a dark spot or a bright spot in the remote field of the readee's consciousness.

I also practice psychic groundingthrough the muladhara chakra, so that every Jyotisha reading occurs in a securely grounded space. This prevents interference from predatory spirits who may try to meddle in thetransmission of the Vidya.

When we say that the ignorant mind is perverse or wrong, we are talking about the way it misconceives reality. Now the pertinent questions are: What is reality? How is this mind mistaken about reality? And in what way does the mind wrongly apprehend reality?

Reality or emptiness of true existence is something that can be established logically. There are sound, or perfect, reasons to prove the emptiness of inherent existence, and we can gain conviction in these reasons. On the other hand, there is no logical way to prove true existence.

• True existence is what appears to an ordinary, untrained consciousness.

• But when it comes under logical scrutiny, true existence cannot be found.

• Even in our everyday life we often find contradictions between the way certain things appear and their actual mode of existence;

• that is, the way things actually exist is different from the way they appear to exist.

...Our perception of impermanent things like mountain ranges and houses does not conform to their actual mode of existence. Some of these things have existed for many centuries, even thousands of years. And our minds perceive them in just that way--as lasting and permanent, impervious to momentary change.

Yet when we examine these objects on an atomic level, they disintegrate every moment; they undergo momentary change. Science also describes a similar pattern of change. These objects appear solid, stable, and lasting, but in their true nature, they constantly change, not keeping still even for a moment.

From Paramahamsa Yogananda: Autobiography of a Yogi

"Intuition is soul guidance, appearing naturally in man during those instants when his mind is calm.

Nearly everyone has had the experience of an inexplicably correct "hunch," or has transferred his thoughts effectively to another person.

The human mind, free from the static of restlessness, can perform through its antenna of intuition all the functions of complicated radio: sending and receiving thoughts, and tuning out undesirable ones.

p>As the power of a radio depends on the amount of electrical current it can utilize, so the human radiois energized according to the power of will possessed by each individual.

All thoughts vibrate eternally in the cosmos. By deep concentration, a Master is able to detect the thoughts of any mind, living or dead.

• Thoughts are universally and not individually rooted; a truth can't be created, but only perceived.

The erroneous thoughts of man result from imperfections in his discernment.

The goal of yoga science is to calm the mind, that without distortion it may mirror the divine vision in the universe.

Radio and television have brought the instantaneous sound and sight of remote persons to the firesides of millions: the first faint scientific intimations that man is an all-pervading spirit. Not a body confined to a point in space, but the vast soul, which the ego in most barbaric modes conspires in vain to cramp.

• "Very strange, very wonderful, seemingly very improbable phenomena may yet appear which, when once established, won't astonish us more than we're now astonished at all that science has taught us during the last century," ~~ Charles Robert Richet, Nobel Prizeman in physiology, has declared.

• "It's assumed that the phenomena which we now accept without surprise, don't excite our astonishment because they are understood. But this isn't the case.

• If they don't surprise us it's not because they are understood, it's because they are familiar; for if that which isn't understood ought to surprise us, we should be surprised at everything: the fall of a stone thrown into the air, the acorn which becomes an oak, mercury which expands when it's heated, iron attracted by a magnet, phosphorus which burns when it's rubbed. . . .

The science of today is a light matter; the revolutions and evolutions which it will experience in a hundred thousand years will far exceed the most daring anticipations.

• The truths - those surprising, amazing, unforeseen truths which our descendants will discover - are even now all around us, staring us in the eyes, so to speak, and yet we don't see them.

But it's not enough to say that we don't see them; we don't wish to see them; for as soon as an unexpected and unfamiliar fact appears, we try to fit it into the framework of the commonplaces of acquired knowledge, and we're indignant that anyone should dare to experiment further.""
