Time and Consciousness

This is a lecture given at the 2013 Esoteric Book Conference,based on Chapter 2 ofVolume 2 of cience of !ight"

There are a fe# ne# age t$pes #ho sa$ the$ don%t believe in time, #hich to me is like sa$ing that & don%t believe in

having a skeleton" Bones are obviousl$ there, even if $ou don%t see them on a living person, and a ver$ important partof our e'istence" &n the ne't () minutes #e #ill understand Time and its importance in manifesting consciousness

and therefore structuring our realit$" *e then #ill learn a techni+ue for timing rituals, because even a pett$ ritual

#hen done at the right time #ill be effective" To the ritualist, altering the nature of manifestation, time is the ke$% to

the door#a$"

-irst #e must define time. Time is the force impelling events for#ard /kalana and is measured b$ change

/parim" There are those #ho #ish to live forever, but the signs of age sho# that time is al#a$s moving for#ard"

Ever$thing changes e'cept the fact that ever$thing #ill change" Time is a constant the onlyguaranteed constant,

and has therefore been e+uated to god" The Bhagavad t4 sa$s,

Klakalayatm aham (X.30b)

& am the Time of the Calculators 5calendar makers6"Aham evkayaklo (X.33c)

&ndeed, & am imperishable Time"

The Bh4gavata tradition teaches that there are three different levels of time 516 7ara 84la. the supreme level of Time

as a deit$ #ho motivates creation, 526 9kma 84la. subtle time creating the building blocks of realit$ and perception,

and 536 th9la 84la. empirical time that is perceived in units"

Time as a deityis seen as that #hich pulled forth matter /prakti from consciousness /pura, moving all things

forth into e'istence" :niverses, solar s$stems, and planets spinbecause of the turningof this Time, and our

individual e'istence as souls come forth b$ this movement" -rom a single undifferentiated realit$, Time creates

differentiation #hich makes a $ou% separate from other%"Subtle timeis the making and unfolding of the soul%s

karmas and the arising of thoughts in the mind" ;s a dream unfolds, this time is not dense, $et it structures the nature

of whatis e'perienced and whenit is e'perienced /the se+uence of thought forms" Physical timedetermines the

actions #e choose to take because it impells the desires / vtti #hich lead to our actions" Time is not manifested b$

space /ahv but b$ action /kriy"% 516;ctions done in the ph$sical realm are measured in units of time, such as

those seen on the clock, developed b$ umerian astrologers millenniums ago"

Time as a god /the consciousness of Time is called reat Time /!ahkla and is generall$ said to be a form of arkness% /84l"

he is the limitation of the infinite nature #hich allo#s us to e'perience a temporal and ignorant e'istence the

blindfold that hides our divine nature /making the illusion real" he is the mother of our material e'istence, our

mental e'perience and our individualit$" &n our perceivable realities, the dance of these t#o are seen in the movement

of the un and the ?oon standing opposite /pa and then coming together /saghaa each month, as the un

leads this dance around the circle of the stars /bhachakra"

Time is called that #hich is not broken /akhaa, meaning it doesn%t stop" The un and the ?oon keep spinning,

#hich our solar s$stem pulsing /spana the #a'ing and #aning of the ?oon in a month, the lengthening andshortening of the da$s in a $ear" &n this same #a$, subtle time pulses the breath /pra of the soul /"#va, and as #e

breath, thought impressions arise from the @va and come into the mind"

84l impells /kalani time and is the cause of cogitation /kalpana"526

Time, breath and thought are inseparable" To stop the mind, the breath is stopped and in the process one enters a

place of timelessness. this is called irvakalpa am4dhi" Time moves and the breath pulses life forth, and thoughts

arise" The nature of arising thoughts is based on tendencies /saskra from this and past lives, as #ell as the

nature of the time% #hich is impelling the thoughts for#ard"

84l is the goddess #ho measures out Time"

84l is said to be slim of figure, her limbs beautifull$ diverse and composed of time and momentF" he is called

84lakak4la, the keleton of Time" The bones give structure to the bod$, as time gives structure to realit$" Time is in

the bones, #hich are e+ual to the number of da$s and ruled b$ the un #ho turns time" The movement of the un and

spinning of the earth mark empirical time, and generate life and breath"

Time sustains the #orld b$ giving it se+uence and therefore order" The Qodiac is called Viu%s manifestation as Time/Klarpa" Thetime of birth indicates the position of planets, #hich indicates the karma of the individual and the

enfoldment of those karmas in an individual%s l ife" -rom the astrologer%s perspective, Time controls ever$thing, and

the stud$ of astrolog$ is the stud$ of god as Time /klapurua" The birth chart is a picture of the astral time, and an

astrologer #orks to read this time as #ell as all varieties of time calculated from astral movements"

There are k4laDhours and $amaD

hours" ; k4laDhour starts at H ;? no matter #hat, it is the automated clock that indirectl$ correlates to the c$cle of the

un" This is important for civil purposes to insure that ever$one is using the same hour" ;strologicall$, it can be used

to see the planetar$ hours and #hat the$ are bringing into $our da$ to da$ life" The $amaDhour starts at sunrise, and

has 12 hours in the da$ and 12 at night" &ts siNe is lengthened or shortened depending on the length of the da$" These

hours are often utiliNed in initiation charts"

o# for something $ou can utiliNe.

Klachakra Tantra

The 84lachakra divides the da$ into eight parts and the night into eight parts" These parts are called kal4, and refer to

the da$Knight divided into 1H hour and a half parts" *henever time is divided, it is given planetar$ rulerships based

on the fre+uenc$ of its division" The rulership of these kal4s is according to the planets ruling the directions of the

84lachakra" ; kal4 starts at H ;? no matter #hen the un rises"

The 84lachakra is

an J petaled lotus diagram belo# is a line dra#ing, #hich is underneath the Buddhist ?andalas commonl$ kno#n"Each lotus petal is connected to a planet in an order specific to the 84lachakra" The first kal4 /1S hours of the da$

#ill be ruled b$ the lord of the da$" The second kal4 #ill be ruled b$ the planet second to it in the 84lachakra in a

clock#ise direction"

-or e'ample, on aturda$, the first kal4 #ill be aturn%s kal4, the second ?oon%s kal4, the third #ill be G4hu kal4" &f

aturn%s kal4 runs from H ;? till I.30, ?oon%s kal4 #ill run from I.30 till L;?, #hich places G4hu kal4 bet#een L;?

and 10.30 on aturda$" ?an$ &ndian emphemeris /pac4gas @ust list the times of$hu kalfor each da$ of the

#eek since this is considered the most inauspicious kal4 of the da$" &t is not beneficial to do an$ good #orks, but the

best time to do ritual or other remedial measures" The chart belo# is for +uick reference and to insure $ou are

calculating correctl$, but it is easiest to simpl$ remember the planets lording the 84lachakra"

The best time to do a #eekl$ ritual to a planet is on the da$ of the sign lord, at the kal4 of the planet" o if

one has ?oon in ;ries, the best time for that individuals #eekl$ ?oon remed$ is on Tuesda$ at ?oon

kal4 /1.30D3.00" &f Uupiter is in Capricorn then #eekl$ Uupiter ritual can be done on aturda$ from 1.30

to 3.00"

The kal4s of the night are also ruled in the same #a$ e'cept starting

at the fifth planet in the k4lachakra from the da$ lord" Mn aturda$, the first 1 S hours after H 7? #ill be ?ars kal4,

the ne't #ill be Uupiter kal4" &n this #a$, the evening starts opposite the da$ lord on the k4lachakra as if it #as the

setting of the da$" Mn ?onda$, the last 1 S hours of the da$ /(.30DH is aturn kal4, at H 7? #ill become Uupiter kal4"

This timing can also involve the evening /though need not if the da$ and night signs are taken into account" &f the

un is in the ?ercur$s night sign, emini, then the ritual can be done *ednesda$ night at I.30 to L7?" &f the un

#as in Virgo, ?ercur$s da$ sign, then it #ould be better to do a ritual on *ednesda$ afternoon during 1.30 to 3 7?"

This can be follo#ed in man$ cases e'cept #hen the time is late in the night" -or e'ample, if Venus #as in emini, it#ould have its best time on *ednesda$ night during 1.30 to 3;?" ;s one #ould be unlikel$ to emplo$ a priest

/pu"r# at this time or do other rituals like feeding the poor etc" then it #ould be better to use the da$ timing as ne't

best" This timing is used for #eekl$ rituals to remove the negative effects of planets"

The 84lachakra is for destructive /nihana purposes, and should onl$ be used for such or it #ill cause suffering" *e

are tr$ing to remove the defect of a planet, #hich relates to the defect of that fre+uenc$ #ithin that #e #ant to

remove"
