Clairvoyance
Detecting patterns in subtle matter

Everyone is clairvoyant at birth, but few people have full permission to develop this "magical" power.
Clairvoyance is the second-sight vision that allows a person to see the myriad thought patterns which are scattered around the aura, as a pattern of light, color, and photographic images.
Everyone is clairvoyant in their dreams & their daydreams.
Most mothers are strongly clairvoyant & clairaudient with their children, and they assert their right to use this gift.
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 clairvoyant/clairaudient within their larger family circle, their female friends & coworkers, and their husbands. Within these intimate circles subconscious messages are being exchanged constantly.
Modern men are equally clairvoyant. Unfortunately modern western men suffer restricted permission, as a rule, to acknowledge the information they receive on their clairvoyant channels. Actualmente, men are rather rigorously trained "not to know".
Depending on the scope of their gift & the depth of their meditation commitment, a clairvoyant may be able to detect & 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. They might be able to see the present & not the past, or vice versa. They might be able to see disease patterns but not financial patterns, or vice versa. They might see past lives in prominent religious or political positions, but not in wars or normal family scenes.
They 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 are clairvoyant to some degree. Most people in any line of work are actually clairvoyant to some degree, but few lines of work give cultural praise for insight. The less effect Shani has on Budha, and the strong the relationship between Budha & 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.
Psychic readings are impulsive.
They respond to the native's intense, momentary emotions. These emotions are visually expressed in the color-picture-patterning of the astral body. Most people approach a psychic reading with high anxiety. The client is normally excited and afraid, and needing a simple, childlike level of spiritual validation.
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 are planned.
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.
Clairvoyant guidance in the Jyotisha readings
In truth, I use some clairvoyant guidance in choosing the optimal Jyotisha reading vocabulary that will more closely match the querent's range of perception.
Human language is 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 specificity in 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 grounding through 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 the transmission of the Vidya.
"No matter what the problem is, our experiences are just outer effects of inner thoughts.
Even self-hatred is only hating a thought you have about yourself.
You have a thought that says, "I'm a person." This thought produces a feeling, and you buy into the feeling.
However, if you don’t have the thought, you won't have the feeling.
And thoughts can be changed.
Change the thought, and the feeling must go."
~~ Louise Hay, You Can Heal Your Life 1984
"There are many types of meditative stabilisation, but let us explain calm abiding (samatha) here.
The nature of calm abiding is the one-pointed abiding on any object without distraction of a mind conjoined with a bliss of physical & mental pliancy.
If it is supplemented with taking refuge, it is a Buddhist practice; and if it is supplemented with an aspiration to highest enlightenment for the sake of all sentient beings, it is a Mahayana practice.
Its merits are that, if one has achieved calm abiding, one's mind & body are pervaded by joy & bliss; one can -- through the power of its mental & physical pliancy -- set the mind on any virtuous object one chooses;
and many special qualities such as clairvoyance and emanations are attained."

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 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.
As the power of a radio depends on the amount of electrical current it can utilize, so the human radio is 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.""
