Good morning ladies and gentlemen welcome to the Light of Lent share progressive astrology and Vedic talks channel.
Today we are going to be speaking a little bit about two aspects that the soul plays out when it comes into this dimension.
To recap the soul, the energy of the sun where we all come from as souls is pure abstraction.
It does not have any other desire if you want to call it that the soul's desire is just expansion.
An expansion in this dimension of 3D existence has played out through two aspects.
That's where it all comes down to whatever we have studied so far in all this previous broadcasts.
It comes down to two aspects of where the soul wants to play out and this is how it is represented in the charts.
We will talk about it a little bit later on.
The two aspects what does the soul come in to play out as.
I offer you this.
The soul comes to play out as two components.
First aspect is the will and the second aspect is desire.
So the soul comes out to play in this dimension in terms of will and in terms of desire.
The will is the propensity of the soul which wants to carry out action in the physical world.
The desire is to experience itself in the basic six components that we spoke about in the New Human Being series.
The six components of the New Human Being what comprises the human as being is compassion, love, understanding, knowledge, balance and beauty.
So these are six components that the being comprises of.
So it wants to experience these which are the essential nature of this whole being.
In the physical dimension it comes to play out and experience in different aspects according to the twelve ascendents and the 27 nakshatras or the constellations.
So that's what the soul plays out as.
Thus the will means it's an outward driven energy.
It's a male energy which wants to experience.
It's an energy that wants to move things so it can go outward it can go inward.
For example in areas it wants to go outward and create Mars that is in Scorpio it wants to go inward and seek the depths.
So energy can move in any direction outward inward as we already saw.
So that's the will component I will do this I will create one so I will make so much money or in any of the things that we do in physical work I will serve I will work.
I will make so many million dollars or whatever it is.
That's the will.
The desire component is the being component where the elements of what the soul wants to experience and feel as is the component of the heart.
You could also say the will is the component of the mind where the talents of the mind are intellect.
Mercury in this case is being used in different aspects as the will.
The desire component is of the heart.
It's where things are finally felt is the final receptacle of all experience of life.
That's where all the experience lines in.
Where does the experience line then it becomes part of that abstract entity we call the soul.
Now because just because a soul we think it's an individuated identity yes it is but in the form of ego only.
The whole idea of Vedic texts what they drive towards is they say the soul has come to dissolve the boundaries of the ego and merge with all that is unified consciousness.
The unified field of everything all that is but the soul becomes individuated in the ego structure and the ego structure can play out only through will and desire.
What would be the planets as logically speaking which would be responsible for will.
Well straight up the bat you can think of Mars you can think of Saturn Mars who wants only action Saturn who wants fame who wants to ground and makes physical structure out of things.
Who's a rebel Jupiter who wants to gain knowledge who wants to physically make things happen in your third house fifth house ninth house and 11th house.
All these are houses of gains gains of education gains of wealth gains of family gains of children.
These are all gains if we evaluate the chart in terms of gains or losses.
But if we are to talk about progressive astrology we are to kind of go beyond this narrow confines of gains and losses in essence.
The whole idea according to Vedic texts of gains and losses is illusionary.
This is the Maya Maya or the illusion says that all of this is an illusion.
The thing that you think that you will gain something out of a person or out of life or out of the material world or things that you will lose as in people as in wealth as in health.
These are all components of that illusory part called Maya.
It's an experience which seems to be very real while we are in 3D.
But that's just from this life from birth to death.
That's all it is.
It only assumes that kind of a posturing in terms of playing out an illusion.
It's like a drama.
It's like a stage is staging a drama where different roles are being played.
But it's just in the end a drama.
It's not nothing real about it.
So we got to stop thinking in terms of real gains and losses and just think in terms of pure experience.
Everything is an experience here.
Life itself is an experience here.
Every learning, every relationship you have had everything is just an experience.
This is how the Vedic texts look at it.
And there is no need actually for anything called growth.
There is no growth required for the soul because the soul is a part of oneness of all that is.
So what is the soul coming in for?
Again we go back to expansion.
That's all it's coming for.
This is the main essence of the Vedic teaching.
You just hear to expand and learn quote and quote.
Again the soul has nothing to learn as such.
But this is what it comes down to.
The soul wants to experience things in order to expand its knowledge or how this thing works or how that thing works.
Because it tends to separate itself out from the all that is and make itself into an individualized self,
the journey goes from individuation to non-individuation or dissolution or mukti or moksha or samadhi or whatever you want to call it.
So many terms are used to describe liberation.
What do you are getting liberated from?
From the egoic structures.
So when we speak of a zoological chart, this is what the snapshot of the heavens shows for an individual.
It is the components of will and components of desire.
The desire would be where Venus wants to go, where Neptune is, where Moon is.
Moon is the strongest component according to Vedic texts because the nearest to the planet it affects the most.
This is why the lunar mansions of the 27 constellations of the Moon play out through the Moon and not Sun.
One might ask why doesn't Sun play out through this nakshatra?
Sun is the 12 houses of the zodiac. Moon is the 27 mansions.
That's the way it is told. The story goes like that.
So will and desire. These are the two components in which we act with.
So when you evaluate a chart, when you evaluate a person through the chart, look at what the will components are, what Mars is doing there, what Sun is doing there.
Because Sun as individualized in the self becomes the ego.
Where the Sun wants to achieve fame like Leo the fifth house or where the Sun is physically sitting in the witch house in a horoscope.
That's where the ego wants to achieve some recognition or wants to go there and do something with regard to the house.
So that's one of the will components in an astrological chart.
Mars is another one where the drive is there, where the aggression and drive to do something, take action.
That's the Mars energy. So Mars is another of the will components you might say.
The third one would be something like Mercury, intellect.
Because intellect is a volatile energy again. It wants to move. It wants to logically reason.
It wants intellectual gains. It wants to say I know this stuff. I know that or I want to learn about this or I want to teach about this and so on and so forth.
So Mercury is also an intellectual component.
Then we come to the emotional components.
Well, before that Saturn. Saturn is the one who wants to ground.
He's a gaseous planet that doesn't know who he is. He's always etheric in the lower realms in the other side.
One thing that is misunderstood is people think just because entities are devic or have subtle bodies compared to the gross body we have that they have no desires.
I'll let you know a secret.
These devic entities and the energies which are non-physical so to speak, they all are physical but they are just having subtle physical bodies.
Their highest desire is to come to this physical body and ground because there's nothing to be felt on the other side.
There's no five senses, remember. So they want to come and experience things in physical.
A lot of things have gone wrong in the physical realm here because of this desire of the other side.
So not all is benevolent on the other side as well. That's a misunderstanding if you would want to go there.
Because the experience of the physical is the highest experience possible in a physical body, in the physical dimension.
It is not felt on the other side. Other side is more conceptual.
Anyway, so Saturn is this gaseous guy who wants to ground.
That's why Saturn signs always want to achieve fame recognition.
It's a rebellion energy that wants to go out there and do stuff.
Build buildings, build cars, build fancy stuff.
So Saturn is another component of will you might say.
It's got a strong will to accomplish things. Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, etc.
Jupiter is this half way bridge because Jupiter wants to even give you things which help you feel the desire inside.
Jupiter gives you wealth, Jupiter gives you kids and family, Jupiter gives you knowledge, wisdom.
So this makes a person in a chart know who they are, experience of the being itself.
Not what you gain and lose. Through the gain in loss it provides you the experience of who you are, what you are about.
That's what Jupiter is like a bridge between will and desire.
It provides both. Jupiter also provides a drive to have that knowledge or gains.
Then come the desire components, pure desire components, the venus and the moon straight off the back there.
Venus provides you the sense of art, beauty, everything, everything that the soul itself is about.
The essential component of the being is different from the essential component of action or will.
The being is about desire. The will is about action.
This is what is shown in the human being diagram in our human being series.
So if you evaluate in terms of will and desire you can pretty much capture all the things that a person will do in life or where they are driven towards or which is their happy place or blissful place following the bliss.
That's what this means here.
And ascendant is the starting point where it all starts for every individual in the chart.
This much ladies and gentlemen is the short take on will and desire components.
I want you to reflect on these things require reflection. It requires more pondering.
It requires more intuition and your participation to know more about these things.
I'm sure you'll come up with a dozen more stuff. That's the way knowledge is. It's ever expensive.
