building a temple cottage

The last week or so there was no internet at the hotel so I wasn't able to post. Which is a good thing anyway because I have not had much time. We finished up our small models and then moved on to create a 6x6x? structure in the back of someone's home (yard area). We found the woman's nakshatra and found a perimeter measurement that was compatible with her. It was very interesting to figure out which one would be best. We narrowed it down to 2, then drew the perimeter in tape on the ground to get an idea of what seemed best. We each stood in the center and it was amazing to feel how the energy was different in each and also how by simply marking a line you can "start" to create the structure even with no walls.

We started on the site by leveling the ground, finding the brahmasutra (line that runs n/s in the center) and the somasutra (line that runs e/w in the center. We then proceeded to find the exterior corners with a compass. It took forever to place the lines. Days. We would go home at night and it was like the vastu elves would mess things up just to drive us crazy! We would check, recheck. In measuring and cutting the wood we have to be within a 1/32 of an inch. Meticulous work but strangely enough it is not that hard. You just need the right tools and a sharp pencil and a good eye! And it helps to be working in a group.

A few of the people are getting vas-stewed. It is true how this knowledge is very purifying and if you are not ready to handle it, things will come up-dramas or whatever- that distract you and pull you away from being a part of it. It is kind of like the way the subject protects itself from being mis-used. You can truly create a healthy vibrant space for someone or create a space that brings them destruction. So you have to have a pure heart and be willing to redo things if they are not right as that energy will eventually come back to you if you do not.

I was reminded of hopi prophesy the other day. It says the dawn of the 5th world will come when the blue kachina dances in the square. It also talks about 2 brothers returning each with 1/2 of a "tiponi tablet"— one carrying the sign of the swastika and another the sign of the celtic cross. The 5th world is the world of akasha or space - the fifth element. The blue kachina dancing in the square is the fabric of the universe (which is a blue square). This is code for vastu. The swastika is also code for vastu as is the celtic cross. The scottish rite temples have a relationship with vastu building. It is crazy but I can see how it is all talking about this new age and how vastu will be a key element in allowing the element of space to be explored by people everywhere. I looked up tiponi and it means "object containing sources of spiritual power which authorizes action and protects like a guardian spirit". Amazing. These next few decades are going to be very interesting.

So next wednesday we are to be done with the temple cottage. We have the foundation and the walls cut. Still have to put up the walls and roof and finish the inside. It has been a wonderful experience even if I have had barely 2 days off the last 3 and a half weeks! I have been taking photos and will post at some point. The structure is already buzzing even without the walls up!
