Each letter of the alphabet has a corresponding number and numbers, if used properly, can act as bringers of fortune. Every man has a favourable number called the Fadic Number which corresponds to a planet !       Astrology & Astro-Gemology   Eminent Gemologist Richard Shaw Brown states in his book " Astral Gemstones and Talismans" that the true science of Planetary Gemology is still practised by Asian and some Western astrologers. The ancient system of Pancha_Amrita ( the Five Immortal Nectars ) is based on the simple combination of the planetary gemstone, metal, herb, symbol and number which corresonds to the planet that is to be enhanced. The invocation of the planetary energy by means of a sound invocation and prayer is the Sixth Amrita whereby the mind uses special sound vibrations.   Synastry or Compatibility between Couples.   Some Stars are found to be compatible and some are not. Mars in the Seventh and Eighth for females was considered to be Martian Affliction ( Kuja Dosha ) and if the male horoscope do not have a Martian Affliction in the Seventh, synastry or compatibilty was found to be zero !   In some civilizations, horoscope matching was a prerequisite for marriage and bridegrooms/brides were selected according to astrological matching principles. Large matrimonial databases are found to be very useful for people looking out for partners!       (This link can also be used for acquiring life-partners!)   Astrology & the Fourfold Yoga ( The Science of Cosmic Union )   Yoga Therapy lays prime emphasis on the Tripod of Life - Body, Mind and Being.   Transcendental Philosophy postulates that the Ultimate Reality is hidden behind this world of Appearance. It is hidden, hidden and hidden. How do we unite with it ? The path is the Fourfold Yoga, the scientia ultima, or the Ultimate Science ! By going deep within ( "Within, within and within" said the mystic Ward ), one becomes aware of the Silence which is our Base!   I am the Silence which is more than Sound ! If therewithin thou lose thee, thou art found ! The Nameless, Shoreless Ocean which is I, Thou canst not breathe, but in its bosom drowned !       Astrology & Occult Vibratory Chemistry ( Tantra )   The Ultimate Reality represented by geometrical patterns ? That is what Tantra is all about. The Central Dot or the Bindu represent the Regal Self and the circles, the triangles, the rectangles and the lotuses the different Energy Centres in the body. Yantras are mystical diagrams representing the Master Plan of Manifestation !       Astrology & Quantum ( Holistic ) Medicine   In her essay " The Healing Center", Eleanor Foster writes that the Healing Center is within us. "I am a psychotherapist and I sit with my clients and hear their pain clearly and freshly as I can, sometimes it enters my body. Then I must breathe deeply and find my own stillness. I want to help them, but I know that I am not the healer. I do not believe that in the end their healing will come from anyone outside themselves. I can only turn them towards their own Healing Center "     Books - The rise and flow of of Eternal Wisdom   Books are the legacies which writers leave to mankind. Books represent the collective wisdom of mankind.   Age is not a factor in writing books. Did not Chaucer and Goethe write when they were past their prime ?   Chaucer at Woodstock with the nightingales At sixty wrote the Canterbury Tales ! Goethe at Weimar, toiling to the last, Completed Faust when eighty years were past !
