Ayadi and Angulas

I should be reading my book now as it is getting late...I can't even remember what we covered today? More of the nuts and bolts of building—how to determine where the front door should go, how to determine compatibility of living space among multiple people living in a building, how to design for a business vs a person....where the walls go on the grid, etc.

A builder from santa barbara (Ken) came today who is enrolled in the program. It was great to get some perspective from an actual builder. He brought a model of a temple cottage that he made (part of class assignments). It was amazing. Such beautiful detail. We also have a model from another past student. The 2 of the models sitting together next to each other were actually very potent. Since it is an ayadi'd design (numbers had been run and everything was compatible), it means that that structure is a living, vibrating entity no matter how big or small. About noon time I heard this high pitched noise and all morning I was buzzing as I had been sitting next to them. Later in the afternoon, Seth who was next to me, asked if I heard anything. And I said yes and he admitted to me the day prior when he was sitting next to it that he had heard the same thing as me! These spaces are so powerful.

I think I want to learn Vedic Math. Strange but I can see how it could be even 'smarter' than western math. And to think math scared me? I was adding fractions the other day and I never thought I would enjoy doing that. Things are measured in Angulas in Vastu. Angulas are the distance from the tip of your thumb to the first crease. Ideally in the most perfectly formed person it would measure 1 and 3/8" What is interesting is that angulas are able to be converted to feet and inches but not centimeters. There is something about the metric system that does not match up. I suspect it has something to do with the fact that feet are based on a physical proportion (was at one point) like angulas and is divisible by 12. There is something to this 1-9 and divisible by 3 that is important in Vastu. And 10 is not easily divisible by 3 (metric) leaving room for error in decimals. Over time in a structure as you were adding up things, these small errors get much larger and can change the overall effect. So it is very important to use feet/inches for this work. Who knew? My classmates from south america are not very happy that metric is not going to cut the mustard (understandably!)
