Yes, many thanks; good stuff. A lot of this is in Mitchell's books on sacred geometry, I think? I was hoping for a breakdown of the mechanics behind them, but this is most helpful. Since they do seem so lunar, probably RJ's 4-pada x 27 nakshatras is a propos: Would seem maybe to be a triple unfoldment of guna-subguna-subsubguna x the four elements (or four cardinal directions), maybe. Which actually brings us back again to the 12 (guna x elements = Adityas) x 9 (guna-subguna Lokas)...I am kind of sorry I asked *lol* To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
