1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,000 Good morning ladies and gentlemen welcome to the Light of Lent share progressive astrology and Vedic talks channel. 2 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:18,000 Today we are going to be speaking a little bit about two aspects that the soul plays out when it comes into this dimension. 3 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:27,000 To recap the soul, the energy of the sun where we all come from as souls is pure abstraction. 4 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:35,000 It does not have any other desire if you want to call it that the soul's desire is just expansion. 5 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:43,000 An expansion in this dimension of 3D existence has played out through two aspects. 6 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,000 That's where it all comes down to whatever we have studied so far in all this previous broadcasts. 7 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:58,000 It comes down to two aspects of where the soul wants to play out and this is how it is represented in the charts. 8 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,000 We will talk about it a little bit later on. 9 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,000 The two aspects what does the soul come in to play out as. 10 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,000 I offer you this. 11 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,000 The soul comes to play out as two components. 12 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,000 First aspect is the will and the second aspect is desire. 13 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:24,000 So the soul comes out to play in this dimension in terms of will and in terms of desire. 14 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:34,000 The will is the propensity of the soul which wants to carry out action in the physical world. 15 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:44,000 The desire is to experience itself in the basic six components that we spoke about in the New Human Being series. 16 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:59,000 The six components of the New Human Being what comprises the human as being is compassion, love, understanding, knowledge, balance and beauty. 17 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,000 So these are six components that the being comprises of. 18 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:11,000 So it wants to experience these which are the essential nature of this whole being. 19 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:23,000 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. 20 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000 So that's what the soul plays out as. 21 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,000 Thus the will means it's an outward driven energy. 22 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000 It's a male energy which wants to experience. 23 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:40,000 It's an energy that wants to move things so it can go outward it can go inward. 24 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:50,000 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. 25 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,000 So energy can move in any direction outward inward as we already saw. 26 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:12,000 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. 27 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,000 I will make so many million dollars or whatever it is. 28 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,000 That's the will. 29 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:33,000 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. 30 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:41,000 You could also say the will is the component of the mind where the talents of the mind are intellect. 31 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,000 Mercury in this case is being used in different aspects as the will. 32 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,000 The desire component is of the heart. 33 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:57,000 It's where things are finally felt is the final receptacle of all experience of life. 34 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000 That's where all the experience lines in. 35 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:08,000 Where does the experience line then it becomes part of that abstract entity we call the soul. 36 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:17,000 Now because just because a soul we think it's an individuated identity yes it is but in the form of ego only. 37 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:32,000 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. 38 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:48,000 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. 39 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:55,000 What would be the planets as logically speaking which would be responsible for will. 40 00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:10,000 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. 41 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:23,000 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. 42 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:31,000 All these are houses of gains gains of education gains of wealth gains of family gains of children. 43 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,000 These are all gains if we evaluate the chart in terms of gains or losses. 44 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:46,000 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. 45 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:53,000 The whole idea according to Vedic texts of gains and losses is illusionary. 46 00:05:53,000 --> 00:06:01,000 This is the Maya Maya or the illusion says that all of this is an illusion. 47 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:15,000 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. 48 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,000 These are all components of that illusory part called Maya. 49 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:26,000 It's an experience which seems to be very real while we are in 3D. 50 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,000 But that's just from this life from birth to death. 51 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,000 That's all it is. 52 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:39,000 It only assumes that kind of a posturing in terms of playing out an illusion. 53 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,000 It's like a drama. 54 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,000 It's like a stage is staging a drama where different roles are being played. 55 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,000 But it's just in the end a drama. 56 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,000 It's not nothing real about it. 57 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:59,000 So we got to stop thinking in terms of real gains and losses and just think in terms of pure experience. 58 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,000 Everything is an experience here. 59 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,000 Life itself is an experience here. 60 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,000 Every learning, every relationship you have had everything is just an experience. 61 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,000 This is how the Vedic texts look at it. 62 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:20,000 And there is no need actually for anything called growth. 63 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:26,000 There is no growth required for the soul because the soul is a part of oneness of all that is. 64 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,000 So what is the soul coming in for? 65 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,000 Again we go back to expansion. 66 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,000 That's all it's coming for. 67 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,000 This is the main essence of the Vedic teaching. 68 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:41,000 You just hear to expand and learn quote and quote. 69 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,000 Again the soul has nothing to learn as such. 70 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,000 But this is what it comes down to. 71 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:56,000 The soul wants to experience things in order to expand its knowledge or how this thing works or how that thing works. 72 00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:04,000 Because it tends to separate itself out from the all that is and make itself into an individualized self, 73 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:14,000 the journey goes from individuation to non-individuation or dissolution or mukti or moksha or samadhi or whatever you want to call it. 74 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,000 So many terms are used to describe liberation. 75 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,000 What do you are getting liberated from? 76 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,000 From the egoic structures. 77 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:31,000 So when we speak of a zoological chart, this is what the snapshot of the heavens shows for an individual. 78 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,000 It is the components of will and components of desire. 79 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,000 The desire would be where Venus wants to go, where Neptune is, where Moon is. 80 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:48,000 Moon is the strongest component according to Vedic texts because the nearest to the planet it affects the most. 81 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:58,000 This is why the lunar mansions of the 27 constellations of the Moon play out through the Moon and not Sun. 82 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,000 One might ask why doesn't Sun play out through this nakshatra? 83 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,000 Sun is the 12 houses of the zodiac. Moon is the 27 mansions. 84 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,000 That's the way it is told. The story goes like that. 85 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:17,000 So will and desire. These are the two components in which we act with. 86 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:28,000 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. 87 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,000 Because Sun as individualized in the self becomes the ego. 88 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:41,000 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. 89 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:49,000 That's where the ego wants to achieve some recognition or wants to go there and do something with regard to the house. 90 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,000 So that's one of the will components in an astrological chart. 91 00:09:54,000 --> 00:10:00,000 Mars is another one where the drive is there, where the aggression and drive to do something, take action. 92 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:06,000 That's the Mars energy. So Mars is another of the will components you might say. 93 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,000 The third one would be something like Mercury, intellect. 94 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:17,000 Because intellect is a volatile energy again. It wants to move. It wants to logically reason. 95 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:27,000 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. 96 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:32,000 So Mercury is also an intellectual component. 97 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,000 Then we come to the emotional components. 98 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,000 Well, before that Saturn. Saturn is the one who wants to ground. 99 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:49,000 He's a gaseous planet that doesn't know who he is. He's always etheric in the lower realms in the other side. 100 00:10:49,000 --> 00:11:04,000 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. 101 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,000 I'll let you know a secret. 102 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:18,000 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. 103 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:25,000 Their highest desire is to come to this physical body and ground because there's nothing to be felt on the other side. 104 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:31,000 There's no five senses, remember. So they want to come and experience things in physical. 105 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:37,000 A lot of things have gone wrong in the physical realm here because of this desire of the other side. 106 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:45,000 So not all is benevolent on the other side as well. That's a misunderstanding if you would want to go there. 107 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:55,000 Because the experience of the physical is the highest experience possible in a physical body, in the physical dimension. 108 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,000 It is not felt on the other side. Other side is more conceptual. 109 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:05,000 Anyway, so Saturn is this gaseous guy who wants to ground. 110 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,000 That's why Saturn signs always want to achieve fame recognition. 111 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,000 It's a rebellion energy that wants to go out there and do stuff. 112 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,000 Build buildings, build cars, build fancy stuff. 113 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,000 So Saturn is another component of will you might say. 114 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:31,000 It's got a strong will to accomplish things. Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, etc. 115 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:40,000 Jupiter is this half way bridge because Jupiter wants to even give you things which help you feel the desire inside. 116 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:47,000 Jupiter gives you wealth, Jupiter gives you kids and family, Jupiter gives you knowledge, wisdom. 117 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:55,000 So this makes a person in a chart know who they are, experience of the being itself. 118 00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:04,000 Not what you gain and lose. Through the gain in loss it provides you the experience of who you are, what you are about. 119 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,000 That's what Jupiter is like a bridge between will and desire. 120 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:17,000 It provides both. Jupiter also provides a drive to have that knowledge or gains. 121 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:25,000 Then come the desire components, pure desire components, the venus and the moon straight off the back there. 122 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:32,000 Venus provides you the sense of art, beauty, everything, everything that the soul itself is about. 123 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:38,000 The essential component of the being is different from the essential component of action or will. 124 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:45,000 The being is about desire. The will is about action. 125 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:52,000 This is what is shown in the human being diagram in our human being series. 126 00:13:52,000 --> 00:14:08,000 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. 127 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,000 That's what this means here. 128 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:17,000 And ascendant is the starting point where it all starts for every individual in the chart. 129 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:26,000 This much ladies and gentlemen is the short take on will and desire components. 130 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:32,000 I want you to reflect on these things require reflection. It requires more pondering. 131 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:38,000 It requires more intuition and your participation to know more about these things. 132 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,000 I'm sure you'll come up with a dozen more stuff. That's the way knowledge is. It's ever expensive. 133 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:48,000 Meanwhile take care. Have a good day. You're subscribed to my YouTube channel. 134 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:56,000 And get in touch with me if you want activations for your chart on my Facebook page link which is provided. 135 00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:13,000 Have a good day and be safe and I'll catch you tomorrow with more good stuff.
