Atmakaraka and Music 🎵🎶

This is sort of a fun post which I really really wanted to post and want to know how do you listen to your music and what's your Atmakaraka!

Let's start with Jupiter

Jupiter Atmakaraka

People who've Jupiter as Atmakaraka may listen to wide range of music be it japanese, Korean, classical,etc.. Jupiter is a planet of expansion according to Vedic astro and these people sometimes tend to listen to a music in a loop but not for a very long time.

Moon Atmakaraka

Moon is a fastest moving planet and also is connected to your emotions therefore these people tend to listen to music in shuffle and just want to change the music quickly. They also play sad song to feel the emotions strongly and cry while listening to the song.

Venus Atmakaraka

People having Venus as Atmakaraka repeats the song on loop of they like the song alot. They can play song for hours and not be irritated from it. They may like jazz songs, 🎷 songs all those luxurious songs which just shows the Venus in a person. Could also be in classical too.

What's your Atmakaraka and how do you listen to your music? Please comment I'm super curious!

¿Eres feliz?

Todo lo que haces en este mundo está sujeto a la ley del cambio. La persona sabia comienza a ver esto a una edad temprana y no persigue las cosas de este mundo, sino que más bien comienza a intentar comprenderse a sí mismo. "¿Quién soy yo? ¿Por qué nací? ¿Cuál es el propósito de la vida?" Cuando uno comienza a fijarse en estas cosas, el gurú interior, el Sí-mismo (Self), te dará un empujón y te encontrarás con que has tomado un camino espiritual.  Todo el mundo busca la felicidad

the 2 paths in nondualism.

this is kind of an answer to an anon, who kept id-ing as the body mind.

Hey, firstly thank you so much for all your amazing posts, I feel so good when I read them. I'm new to this concept and the thing that i wanna manifest is height. I mean i know all the information, I always try to apply. but how do get rid of the feeling that creeps up inside me every morning, when i wake up and see no difference in my height?

i already have a post on manifestation & an anon answer where they have a similar situation

i have written before that you don't need to get rid of feelings. they're rising up for you to release them, not resist them, accept that the feeling is there (& any other stories attached to it)

now see that you don't crumble or disappear when you feel bad? the feeling is not You, it's the characters

now i've felt like the emotional represenation of burning before (along the lines of "just kill me now 😭"), but! you are still aware during those times. you're still able to feel 'I AM'? then it's not you 'burning' its the character 'burning', but when you take yourself to be the character, you burn

you seek to get rid of the feeling because you think it's real, you see those stories the mind creates as real. you think they can do something to you. this can all be "fixed" with right identification

you wake up and see no difference because you see yourself as the character (body-mind). all is Self, all the bodies are yours. there's no separation

firstly, here's one reading and another i think you should read.

so in nondualism there are 2 paths to recognising you are not the body-mind. direct and indirect. i actually thought that the four yoga's were the pathways but i got them mixed up! but they are still useful and i'll talk about them in the end.

firstly, a nice disclaimer from reddit:

"I did what’s called “direct looking” or “direct pointing” which included meditation and it “took” 2 years. But be careful there, very careful. When we get in the mode of “attaining something” and being concerned with “how fast can I add this to ‘me’?” we are reinforcing the self we are hoping to directly see is not real. This will ALWAYS prolong or inhibit the seeing. Just do, don’t make it a ‘goal.’ Many people (most) fall into this trap at some point and ONLY THAT is what prolongs things. Like all of this, it is always a paradox! If it doesn’t ‘feel’ like an acceptance or surrender then something is not quite right. A ‘chase’ is not the right environment for seeing."

this is why i said in other answers to just go and live and love. do not prolong anything, you already are not the body. as a beginner you might want to decide how you're going to remember that though, hence why the paths exist.

source for the following paragraphs.

the direct path

All you need is to get rid of the tendency to define yourself. All definitions apply to your body only and its expressions. Once this obsession with the body goes, you will revert to your natural state, spontaneously and effortlessly. - nisargadatta 'i am that'

this path is based off just seeing that you are Self. abiding in awareness. sitting in it. kind of Just Do It vibe. this seems to suit a lot of us as it seems we have come from other teachings about consciouness

"... this direct path is quite a bit more effective for people who have gone through the progressive (indirect) path, so people who have tried everything or have lean into a certain sticking point that they never got past"

the direct path is described as experiential or contemplative and requires the mind to be a bit stable. able to stay on one track.

the indirect path

if you're not able to stay one track with the mind or bring yourself back to the truth, then this is what meditating, chanting, reading etc, is for. the meditations don't achieve realisation, they just prepare you.

"... but if you've come to it from never having done anything then it (direct path) can seem too abstract"

i think you'll go back and forth between both. no need try and discern between what you're doing though.

i like conviction and self inquiry, which is what nisargadatta says to his followers. but do what you want! as long as you remember who you are, it doesn't matter what you do.

the only thing that i'd really recommend is self inquiry.

tbh i've never cared about the direct or indirect path. the yoga paths seemed to be more practical? like i'd read something and i'd be able to tell 'oh they seem to be focused on self surrender'. anyway i'll talk about them now.

in summary, (reddit is a mess, but the answers always come through!)

Direct path = accepting everything is "like a dream", including the quest for enlightenment and the individual who does it. Progressive path = exhausting "the seeker" who appears "in the dream" and finally coming to the conclusion above.

you don't need some explosion "oh my god!!" experience for realisation. as long as you know that you are not the character, you're doing the right thing.

the 4 yoga paths

yoga as you can tell below, has non-dual teachings. its vedanta yoga i'm talking of here (whilst nondualism = advaita vedanta)

"the goal of yoga is to unite oneself with God; the practice of yoga is the path we take to accomplish this." [source]

i'll talk about them because they are interesting lol. please read the page i linked because its more indepth than the 3 lines i wrote here.

path of love

"Bhakti yoga is the path of devotion, the method of attaining God through love and the loving recollection of God."

i think this is similar to what lester levenson did, he "squared everything with love" as he realised that he felt love when he was being loving, and not when he was loved himself. so he decided to love everything and everyone.

this is about loving and using love as a way to drop the character.

path of knowledge

"Jnana yoga is the yoga of knowledge--not knowledge in the intellectual sense--but the knowledge of Brahman and Atman and the realization of their unity. Where the devotee of God follows the promptings of the heart, the jnani (followers) uses the powers of the mind to discriminate between the real and the unreal, the permanent and the transitory."

the path of work

"Karma yoga is the yoga of action or work; specifically, karma yoga is the path of dedicated work: renouncing the results of our actions as a spiritual offering rather than hoarding the results for ourselves."

when we work its usually for our jobs, an award, for others etc -> expectations and anticipation. this yoga is saying to let go of the expectations and let Self take care of it.

this reminds me of 'the surrender experiment' by micheal singer!

the path of meditation

"The basic premise of raja yoga is that our perception of the divine Self is obscured by the disturbances of the mind. If the mind can be made still and pure, the Self will automatically, instantaneously, shine forth."

this involves quieting thoughts and using meditation to control the mind.

personally, i like the direct path more. i've been lurking around spiritual topics for years now, so i'd just like to get to the point. however, if you haven't or you just don't get it all - this is why i advise self inquiry. i already have a post on it and an anon answer on it. disbelief and doubting will help point you towards your Self and makes it much easier to remember Self.

as you can see with the yoga paths, nothing will stop you except wrong identification.

eventually, you'll even drop this knowledge. there'll be no need for this either.

7th House Secrets Vedic Astrology

The 7th house in Vedic astrology doesn't only shows about your marriage; it also shows about your business partnerships. The 7th house shows how people see you. So there are two planets whose influence and energy is present in this house.

Saturn 🪐 and Venus.

Venus for relationship, money, etc. and Saturn for longevity, Discipline, boundaries etc. A business partnership is not different than marriage.

If your Saturn is placed in the 7th house then after marriage you won't be able to feel freedom. People will start judging you. You'll create a lot of boundaries. Your behaviour will change a lot just like how things get changed after marriage is all Saturn and Venus energy influence which is present in everyone's 7th house in birth chart.

7th Lord in 9th house

If your 7th lord is placed in 9th house then it shows that you will change places after marriage. You will gain a lot of money and all of your efforts will show the results. Your luck will increase after marriage. Overall this is a good placement for travelling to religious places after marriage, donations, spiritualism. You're extremely idealistic and doesn't listen to people. You'll become extremely pessimistic.

7th Lord in 11th House

If you have your 7th Lord in the 11th house then after marriage you will get success in your social media endeavour. You will gain a lot of connections, popularity and money after marriage. But there is a negative think about this placement. You will not be on equal terms with your in laws. So if you are a nuclear family then it will work well. Also in this placement your spouse may get an incurable disease at an particular age ( after 46 ). And this will drain out your money badly.

7th Lord in 12th House

This position will give a lot of fantasies towards your spouse. You'll trust your partner 100% or 0% depending on the other planets influence. So choose your partner wisely. You'll either go abroad, jail, or receive salvation also depending on the combinations. If you have Saturn as 7th Lord in 12 House then the partner will be cool headed, quite but will create boundaries with you will keep you close.

The Yamas and Niyamas are ethical and moral guidelines

The Yamas and Niyamas are ethical and moral guidelines outlined in the ancient yogic philosophy of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. They offer principles for living a harmonious and fulfilling life. Here are the benefits associated with practicing the Yamas and Niyamas:

Yamas:

Ahimsa (Non-violence): Practicing ahimsa promotes peace and compassion. It encourages individuals to cultivate kindness towards themselves and others, leading to improved relationships and a more harmonious society.

Satya (Truthfulness): Living truthfully fosters authenticity and integrity. Being honest with oneself and others builds trust and strengthens connections, resulting in healthier relationships and a sense of inner peace.

Asteya (Non-stealing): By practicing asteya, individuals learn contentment and gratitude for what they have. This cultivates a mindset of abundance rather than scarcity, promoting generosity and reducing feelings of envy or lack.

Brahmacharya (Moderation): Brahmacharya encourages balanced living and mindful consumption. By practicing moderation in all aspects of life, individuals conserve energy, maintain focus, and cultivate self-discipline, leading to greater physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Aparigraha (Non-attachment): Aparigraha teaches the art of letting go and releasing attachments to outcomes. By detaching from material possessions, expectations, and desires, individuals experience freedom from stress, anxiety, and dissatisfaction, leading to greater contentment and inner peace.

Niyamas:

Saucha (Purity/Cleanliness): Practicing saucha involves purifying the body, mind, and environment. This fosters clarity of thought, enhances physical health, and creates a conducive space for spiritual growth and self-discovery.

Santosha (Contentment): Santosha promotes gratitude and acceptance of the present moment. Cultivating contentment regardless of external circumstances leads to greater peace of mind, reduced stress, and an increased sense of fulfillment.

Tapas (Discipline): Tapas involves cultivating self-discipline and perseverance in pursuit of spiritual growth and personal development. By embracing challenges and overcoming obstacles, individuals build resilience, inner strength, and a sense of accomplishment.

Svadhyaya (Self-study): Svadhyaya encourages self-reflection and introspection. By studying sacred texts, exploring personal beliefs, and observing one's thoughts and actions, individuals gain insight into themselves, deepen their understanding of life's mysteries, and foster spiritual evolution.

Ishvara Pranidhana (Surrender to the Divine): Ishvara Pranidhana involves surrendering to a higher power or divine intelligence. By relinquishing the ego's need for control and trusting in a greater purpose, individuals find peace, guidance, and spiritual connection.

Overall, practicing the Yamas and Niyamas promotes personal growth, ethical behavior, and spiritual development. By aligning one's actions with these principles, individuals cultivate virtues such as compassion, truthfulness, contentment, and self-discipline, leading to a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

Bienvenidos a Psicología de Alta Consciencia

Mi nombre es Juan Manuel, creador y administrador de este blog, soy Psicólogo Clínico y me dedico a la consulta privada. La primera publicación que realicé en este espacio con fines didácticos en Psicología fue el 9 de marzo del 2014 con una breve frase de mi propio cuño:

“El cuerpo es la prueba viviente de que la mente influye sobre la materia”.

Dando inicio así a esta etapa de publicaciones en psicología y filosofía con vertiente en el Budismo y en el Advaita Vedanta, así que este blog surgió con un corte espiritual, mas no religioso.

Como dato curioso, en principio este blog no lo abrí con fines psicológicos ni filosóficos como actualmente es, sino que en el año 2010, cuando decidí crear un blog en esta plataforma, lo hice con la idea de publicar fotografías de estílo gótico y con el nombre de "Dark Gothic Wave", y no nació como Psicología de Alta Consciencia.

En ese entonces me encontraba estudiando el 5° semestre de la maestría en Filosofía, la cual fue muy demandante, así que abandoné este blog durante un par de años. En esta fecha aún yo no tenía ninguna relación con temas espirituales ni orientales, incluso estaba por completo enfocado en los rigurosos lineamientos de investigación y práctica psicológica, muy lejos de asuntos espirituales.

Posteriormente en el año 2012 tuve el tan llamado "despertar de consciencia", justo en la fiesta de cumpleaños de mi hermana que ese día cumplía años. ¿Un despertar de consciencia en una fiesta de cumpleaños? Bueno, el despertar es cuando es.

A partir de ahí, más por curiosidad que por ser alguien espiritual, comencé a investigar más acerca de este ámbito, encontrando mucha información, libros y maestros, y acercándome a algunos de ellos que aún estań en vida, como por ejemplo mi Maestra Eva que tuve en mis inicios con el Advaita Vedanta (no-dualidad), con la cual aprendí muchísimo en esos años por el 2014 y 2015.

Sucesivamente seguí aprendiendo y desaprendiendo por mi cuenta en mi propio recorrido, actividad que aún realizo, un recorrido que nunca termina. Como dijera Gautama Buda: "Cuando llegues a la cima de la montaña sigue escalando".

Ya en este punto, decidí borrar todas las publicaciones de estilo dark y gótico que tenía en este blog, quedando completamente limpio, le cambié el nombre al actual Psicología de Alta Consciencia, y como nadie me seguía decidí usarlo de blog de notas personal, donde escribía notas de mis propias ideas y pensamientos acerca de Budismo, Taoísmo, Advaita, etc., con la finalidad de tenerlas disponibles para mí cuando yo quisiera. Mi sorpresa fue que mucha gente empezó a seguir mi blog, fue entonces que me surgió la idea de continuar publicando pero ya no nada más para mí sino también para toda aquella persona que le interesara. Así nació este espacio, aunque el concepto "Psicología de Alta Consciencia" lo acuñé desde el 2012, cuando abrí mi sitio web. Pasé de tener 0 seguidores a un tanto más de 49,000 hasta hoy junio de 2024.

Gracias a todos, y este blog seguirá hasta donde tenga qué llegar, después de ello quedará para la posteridad mientras siga existiendo Tumblr y el internet.

-Juan Manuel 💜
