What is the Impact of Witnessing an Eclipse?
Many people go to great lengths to view eclipses, sometimes traveling thousands of miles to witness the shadow of the Moon passing across the Sun or the shadow of the Earth crossing the Moon.In Jyotish, or Vedic Astrology, however, such events can be seen as inauspicious, and the recommendation might be that we take shelter from them rather than expose ourselves to them.But such things are not so cut and dry. In this episode, Thom proposes that the impact of an eclipse depends, as does the impact of most things, on the consciousness state of the observer.Episode Highlights:[00:45] Parashara Saṃhita[02:40] Self-referral Consciousness and Object-referral Consciousness[05:59] What's in the Sky and What's Not in the Sky[09:00] Who are You and What are You?[11:10] What is the Nature of the Knower?[13:15] Degrees of Suffering[16:23] Reinforcing Totality Consciousness Through Vedic Meditation[18:58] A Little Bit of a Muddying EffectUseful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/
