Mathematics of Keeping Time

Each time a traumatic event occurs, the world’s masses often look to the sky and ask ‘why.’ An intuitive knowing that there is a more significant cycle built by a supreme intelligence is not of this world.

The question is, if we are here, then where is there? Do the two share expressions of each other? The ancients of Vedic and Taoist wisdom both agree that heavenly incidences held simultaneous incidences on our planet.

Before written history, our memory was more intact; humans observed the patterns of the constellations. As history unfolded and memory declined, groups began to write down how they used the constellations for their time management, maximize energy use, and consider the impact on the form itself.

The use of studying constellations is the common point. There, the diversity of practical application of astronomical events and patterns expressed in cultures needs to manage daily life. Some are farming-based, some based on fishing the high waters, fortifying empires, or devoting in temples to societal order. These are just a few examples. Each studied the stars based on their view of the sky and implemented discussion and verbiage that fit their frame of reference or that which pertained to how they could best live their own lives.

This next statement is purely my hypothesis, and this is that we all shared Pangea once upon a time. Yes, modern science states this impossibility based on the belief of the age of Homosapien, dating back as a location existing 335,000,000 years ago. However, in the Vedic timetables, our current Mahayuga (grand era) rages to over four million years. Life on

Pangea was without significant borders, and the overall culture was shamanic. Once Pangea split, each culture began to ‘see things’ differently, yet they all still looked at the same objects. The constellations looked different to them, and the heavenly influxes hit parts of the planet differently. Thus, the division of information began along with the bickering of who’s view is correct. The accurate picture is a collective view that can accept all opinions as a part of the entirety. When sharing the hypothesis of Pangea and Shamanism with one of my teachers (Jeffrey Armstrong), he pointed out that there is an ancient culture in southern India known as Tamil. Tamil still exists today and holds a view that connects to a concept of an original singular group of beings from Lord Shiva.

Astrology suggested being up to 30,000 years of age, having roots in the earliest civilizations where the maps of the stars existed long before the outlines of the earth. Found via cave paintings, bone writings, and mammoth tusks showing how many years the mind* kind have looked to the sky to cope with nature’s persistent change — suggesting that it was then that the first seven planets (chakras) came into our awareness.

Fast-forwarding through history and the intellects who passed the information forward both held in temples and spread by wandering sages. Whether it was the silk road or the hundredth monkey syndrome that rose the tide of astrology in Bharat (India) and China is almost no matter. Digressing into the smaller debate of who was first or who is correct is of little importance outside of ego. It is always relative to the observer, as it is our interpretation of the objects in space that we battle over, not the object’s existence. Bharat and China both mapped the sky using similar mathematics and denominators, including:

• »  Divisions of twelve

• »  Twenty-eight

• »  Trinities across the signs

• »  Pairs of companions

• »  Opposites and reference point to the: North star

  • »  Milky way

  • »  Yellow path

  • »  Suns ecliptic

  • »  Rahu/Ketu and ox-boy/weaving maiden

    These were all included in the calculations and woven into tapestry’s of fabricated stories to easily keep alive the teachings.
