Good morning ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Progressive Youth and Progressive Human Being Channel.
Where we speak about ideas that are progressive to the human being.
Now this is not meant as just a philosophical talk,
although philosophies, what's the basis of your fundamental existence as a soul on this planet
from your entire lifetime from your life, the time you take the first breath till you finish with the last one.
So anyway, these ideas are supposed to be progressive in the sense how you guide your life on a day to day basis.
The focus as I get these messages is more on a day to day basis, but using all the context of Vedic teaching,
the Vedic Upanishads, the Vedas themselves and whatever I have learned through decades of my interest and in all esoteric sciences.
So, having said, let's get to the topic of today.
What came through was the innate nature of a human being, the innate nature of things, innate nature of birds, of plants, of animals, of energy itself.
I speak in terms of energy because that's the kind of perceiving and sensing and receiving I get.
So, innate nature, what is innate nature of a human being?
Well, human being is very different from all the rest of the elements of life on this planet.
For example, the rocks and the trees and the birds and the ocean, river, water, air, fire, all these elements which are there,
as well as all the birds, different kind of birds that exist, different kind of plants that exist, different kind of animals, mammals,
or non-mammal, reptilian, whatever energies are there, they hold.
Something has an innate nature to this. Let's just speak about innate nature of, I'll give you an example, like a bird.
A bird, if you see, always wants to be standing on the perch or on the edge of something.
The innate nature of a bird is to fly. It does not have any wings, sorry, it does have wings.
It does not have any arms and legs like mammalian human beings do.
An innate nature of the tiger or the lion as a mammal is to hunt.
It's to look for prey. It's to go stealthily looking for prey. Its eyes are always looking for the next prey.
That's the innate nature and animals, as we all know very well, are driven by instinct.
So they will only do, or they only know and do whatever their innate nature propels them towards.
This is spoken of very widely in the Vedic text. What is an innate nature of something? Whatever it is, the innate nature of a rock is just to be still.
It is just to sit there through years and eons of time unmoving, slowly getting eroded by the weather patterns, by all the elements of nature like the wind, the fire, the air, the water, etc.
But it just sits there. It's the most tamasic in nature.
So the innate nature of the Satva Rajasthamas that we spoke of in the previous podcast shows up in every single life existence around us.
In human beings, it tends to play out if especially people are playing it very unconscious game.
It's just a game folks and how you're playing it depends upon the human choice.
This is where the choice and the free will element of the human being shows up very predominantly.
It has been and it will continue to be through all this civilization, past civilization, future civilizations and so on.
I'm just giving you here the fundamental principle as it is laid out in the Vedic text.
The innate nature is what you're driven to do.
It's from the time you wake up you're just driven to do that particular thing or take that particular action or think in those particular lines or like we discussed in case of birds or animals or all these moving sentient beings.
It is driven by the innate nature to fly.
Birds want to fly all the time.
They always sit on the edge, they always sit on the ledge of a building or the branch of a tree where they can fly out.
They are not so much interested in walking although they can walk slowly.
But the bird always wants to fly.
Its confidence and its innate nature is always in its wings.
It always wants to be on the edge.
It always wants to be able to take off into the open space, the open air.
Open spaces are what the birds crave because that's where they shine the maximum.
Everything in its innate nature tends to shine in that aspect.
A tiger or a lion, if you keep it locked up in a cage in a zoo, it does not feel its innate nature.
If it's out in the open savanna of Africa, it feels its innate nature because it needs to prowl.
It needs to hunt, it needs to find a prey to prowl and hunt and feed upon.
That's all is its innate nature.
It's nothing else.
And these innate nature, if you want to understand it more, we have to dive into the Satvarajas and Tamas part of existence itself.
Remember, it's not just astrology, it's just innate nature of everything else that is all around.
So that being said, how does the human free will choice and what innate nature they are driven operate as?
Just see that for a minute here.
So innate nature of humans as told by astrology is the story of the 12th sentence and what is guiding.
So the 12 houses of the sun is from Aries to Pisces, each one being ruled by a certain Lord or a certain planet is what drives the basic tendency of the person.
The mind as the moon as we have examined before in other podcast is basically the nakshatras, the 27 lunar mansions or the 27 modes of the moon.
The moon is a very moody creature.
So it fluctuates a lot.
It just keeps going widely between different tendencies and different propensities and different desires and different wants to do, need to have that kind of an energy.
So the mind is always fluctuating, which is colored by all these 27 types of nakshatras or constellations.
That being said, you are always operating as an innate nature in the ascendant wherever you are born and the rising sign, the time you came and took your first breath here was declared as the time of birth.
And that time of birth is linked as a universal clock to your ascendant and ascendant meaning it is in a particular sun sign or in a particular zodiac as well as it is in a particular constellation or the aspect of the moon.
So what it wants to play out that will be the innate nature as regards what a human will do left to themselves without them taking any conscious action.
Remember, it's all about consciousness and conscious action, conscious awareness of these things.
I'm putting this podcast out there to create this awareness out there.
Many people are unaware of this science that exists in a way that can be used in a practical way daily life.
One has to understand one's own innate choices in order to move past it.
Again, we come back to the same example of if you don't know where you are, how do you know where you want to go?
You will get there if you're going from Miami to Los Angeles, that's one GPS plot you're going to do on your car.
Whereas if you're going to go from Seattle to Los Angeles, there will be completely different path.
You can't choose the same path.
This is why paths are unique for soul evolution for every single one.
Every single one has a unique soul path.
There is no one path to truth.
There are infinite number of ways to get to where you want to go.
Even the Vedic texts are full of this teaching that there are multiple number of paths you want to get to your personal truth.
It's always personal.
The way you will access it is through your ascendant knowing where you stand first.
This whole access what we are talking about in this entire series of these podcast are about knowing where you are first.
If you don't know where you are, wherever you want to get to will become a fuzzy picture.
It will become abstract.
It will become like I know where I want to get to but I don't know quite how to get there.
It's very fuzzy.
It's very foggy.
I can't relate to it or I can't see the clear picture here.
We humans always tend to work through, figure out, analyze, dissect and move into clarity in our life.
What we work for is a clarity.
From confusion to clarity, this is the journey of the human soul.
We get more and more clearer and clearer and clearer as years go along, as our relationship change, as we grow and mature, as we become older,
as we grow into 50, 60, 70 years old.
This things seem to mature but it mature only with age.
They mature with age and or they mature with conscious awareness.
Now let's talk about the new energies that are coming in and the new generation of human beings that are coming on the planet.
The younger ones.
Where is that going?
How is it affecting them?
Well, the new ones will start this awareness process much before the traditional planetary maturity age that we spoke of in earlier podcast.
For example, if Mars matures between 26 and 38, 28 and 31 years old or something like that, for the new ones, they will start maturing much earlier.
That's the evolution which is ramping up and going at an exponential pace and will continue to in the generations to come.
In the generation which already is as teenagers, as young men and women and their children and their grandchildren and so forth.
It's a very exponential pace of energetic evolution.
So it will not just depend upon ascendant anymore, it will not just depend upon your Rahu Ketu or Uranus Neptune Pluto or any of this.
The reason being there is something cosmically shifting for Earth and there is something cosmically shifted and is continuing to every day as Earth absorbs all of this, the physical Earth and everything embodied on it.
So this innate nature is important to understand as the starting point.
Everything is driven towards innate nature first.
That's the starting point for every soul from the astrological ascendant perspective also.
But how does it relate to you?
How does it relate to where is listening to this?
What are you going to do with your life next?
What's the next step?
What you must do next?
That's where you must see the innate nature first.
What is my nature first?
Am I drawn to the painting first?
Am I drawn to cooking or creating a dish first?
Am I drawn to reading or communicating first?
Because some are born communicators, some are born teachers, some are born healers, some are born doctors, some are born into what they want to do with mind and reasoning and logic.
Those are the ones who might become administrators, some might want to ground the energy.
So the innate nature is the propensity of the ascendant along with its nakshatra or constellation.
But where is the free choice in this?
Well, that's where it gets really interesting, isn't it?
The free choice is whether you want to act from your ascendant.
That will be the natural tendency like the bird sitting on a ledge.
That will be the natural tendency, the ascendant zodiac sign plus the ascendant nakshatra or constellation.
That will be the default.
It's the default value of a human soul born in taking a body.
But where it goes from there, depending upon how they consciously involve themselves with all these kinds of sciences,
it takes an old soul for them to even start having an interest in all these things.
For others, it's just like, okay, let me find the next pizza or the next fancy job or the next fancy partner in life and get on with the show.
That's not the way it works.
If it has to work properly, you need to align yourself with your ascendant in the moon first.
You need to align yourself with the energies that you are unconsciously driven by without doing anything.
You get up in the morning and you're not thinking about any of this stuff.
You say, I want to go and do this first.
I feel like doing this or I feel like doing this.
Well, who is the one feeling?
The one feeling is the mind, the ego and the one driven by the soul path is the one who is the ascendant.
This zodiac sign.
So you will color your life and you will color your professions, jobs, relationships with these two fundamental points of as a starting point.
These are just starting points, folks.
These are not ultimate.
Now this is where the human choice becomes really interesting because you have a choice.
You have a choice to act like, let's say where your Mars is.
Once you know all these things, you have a choice whether you want to act from your Rahul or the north node of the moon.
You can become obsessed about that particular aspect of life.
You have a choice to become like Jupiter and learn and teach some area of your life.
You might have a choice to become like Saturn and become dry and become a rebel and want to achieve material success in something.
That's a choice.
Once you know the esoteric knowledge and the high vibrational energy of the Vedic texts, what's the next step?
What can it help you with?
Well, it can help you with your choosing.
It puts you in a constant energy of choosing.
The trouble that we humans have, myself included, is the choice we have to make each and every single day.
Each and every single day a choice is given to you.
You are not a helpless creature in the arms of anything.
You are not helpless at all.
You are born very powerful.
What is told though is it the story is told is something else in the popular narrative of the fates of the world.
But you are born absolutely free, absolutely gorgeous, absolutely rock star in this world.
But that rock star person inside you is full of choice and full of making conscious choices, not unconscious choices folks.
You can't do anything being unconscious.
All of these teaching, all of the Vedas, all of the things, fates that are there, everybody can tell you 20,000 things that have been masters who have come and gone on this earth.
If you are to buy the Indian philosophy, there have been even 10 avatars of Vishnu come and gone or 9 avatars, 10s one is still pending.
So all of these things if you had to take even gods have come here in their forms and taught and gone.
One might think why is still this humanity stuck in this dumb mode?
Well, if you are not following the basic rules of how this esoteric knowledge plays out and not making conscious choices, that would be the first step, conscious choices, not unconsciously driven person.
That's the basic place where I even focus my work with astrology for example.
I tell them who you are first, how you work, what ticks for you and what doesn't tick for you.
What you do with it is quite another matter, isn't it? Just like everything else and it's a choice to be made every single day.
So learn about your innate nature first, above everything, with whatever knowledge you have, with everything that you want to implement it in your life in practical terms.
Or just to learn about yourself, not to maybe use something.
The concept is to use and abuse and misuse is quite another, it's very narrow minded approach of a human.
That's just for this life, that's just for this time of between birth and death.
How does it go in the collective? How does it go into this broader context of life on earth?
So that's not what we are talking about here. In this one we just spoke of innate nature.
You have one, find out what it is, work with it, don't resist it.
If you want to make a choice, make it consciously, deliberately, with intent, with a complete focus and obsession about finding about who you are and what your real choices in life are.
Okay, take care and there was quite a bit of energy there. Take care, be safe and we will talk about something else in the coming podcast. Be safe.
