The Transformatikos
The Cosmic Spiral Cyclotron
which Tweaks our Trajectory
toward A More Perfect World
Homage to Ganesha whose wives Siddhi and Riddhi hold the promise of Power and Success.
OM GAM GANAPATI NAMAHA!
The Remover of Obstacles prepares the body and mind to accept the transformative powers of the Cosmic Spiral Cyclotron of the Planetary Energies. Traditionally, any mantric practice starts with an invocation of Ganesha, and thus shall we start The Transformatikos.
The secret of transformation is that a small change in trajectory can make a huge difference in the ultimate destination of the traveller. This is perhaps most obvious in this space-age era in the form of the small control rockets used to change the trajectory of a rocket or spacecraft. A short burst from such a rocket can send the ship either spiraling out of control or, when applied in an intelligent and balanced manner, shift the ultimate destination of the craft by hundreds or thousands or even more miles. It all depends on the length of the journey.
What may be less obvious is that we all start our lives with an established trajectory due to the inertia of our previous lives. This Inertia is known in both Hinduism and Buddhism as Karma. However, we must not simply accept this definition or equation but rather look more closely into the nature or rather the Gravity of this situation. For due to the Cosmic Hypothesis, “As Above, So Below,” it is to the Macrocosmic Planets of both Astronomy and Astrology that we must turn to get a better view of our Microcosmic situation.
Now, this manuscript is intended as an elucidation on the Art of Transformation and we dare not pause to describe the Art of Interpretation of the Lights or Jyotisha (as the Indian art of Astrology is called) lest we get bogged down in detail and lose sight of our goal. Yet we should mention that while there are many scientific explanations of why Astrology can not possibly work, these explanations are nearly always couched in Newtonian terms and are thus obsolete.
When viewed in Newtonian terms, the gravity of the doctor delivering the baby is more significant than the Gravity of the planet Jupiter. However, when one looks at the same concept from an Einsteinian angle, we find that the distribution of Planetary masses actually warps the Space-Time Continuum into a unique shape at the moment of our birth. That is, Gravity is much more than an apparent attraction of masses and its effect on us is more than skin deep.
The upshot of all this may not be immediately obvious, but if we can adjust the original (in)formative effects of each of the Planets, no matter how slightly, then we can drastically change our own life trajectory. Such changes may be infinitesimal at first, but over time can become Cosmic in scope. Thus can the secrets contained in The Transformatikos be used to secure our position on the Dragon Seat and ensure our success in the Shadow Rite of the Guardian Spirit described by Shri Gurudev Mahendranath in The Londinium Temple Strain.
We begin our Cosmic Planetary journey with a quick trip to the Moon, known in Sankskrit as Chandra or Soma (click link to continue).

Well, this comment actually addresses the next article on Soma. In the article, you agree with Wasson’s view that Soma is most likely a mushroom. Actually, this is a very controversial issue, but it seems there is very little evidence that Soma was a mushroom and much more evidence that it was a kind of creeper. It most likely contained a high concentration of Harmala alkaloids. Some other canditates for Soma include peganum harmala, and ephedra or somalata. So perhaps for greater clarity it would help to mention these other concurrent possibilities, as the mushroom can be rather misleading, as to the nature of an authentic plant saumya, of which the Rg Veda lists at least 108 varieties.
