What is the dead person thinking in heaven about my doings? 33.3.5.6 to 16

[Devajyoti]

What is the dead person thinking in heaven about my doings? 33.3.5.6 Retreat to 16 Enthusiasm.
Line 3 says, "Tied retreat. There is affliction, danger. Nurturing servants and handmaidens, good fortune.'
Is he nurturing me with some inheritance?

Line 5 says, "Praiseworthy retreat. Constancy, good fortune." yes, he is dead now, his body is dead.... not his soul.

Line 6 says, "Rich retreat. Nothing that does not bear fruit." On the "other side" he will get enriched as a result of some good deeds he has done maybe?

Will he be happy that I am happy to get over and go on and make a bit use of something?

33.3.5.6 > 16
16 - The context is thunder from the mountain -
33.3 Entangled retreat retaining servants is helpful.
33.5 Legge: subject retiring in an admirable way. With firm correctness there will be good fortune.
33.6 Wilhelm/Baynes: Cheerful retreat. Everything serves to further.


( I copied some of the words about the moved lines from other experiences in the forum like one about Wikileaks)

Hi Devajyoti,

"What is the dead person in heaven thinking about my doings?"
33.3.5.6 to 16 ~ Go on Retreat to release Attachment to Form.

​

It is the most fervent wish of our heaven-resident relatives that we should join them, and the ancestral family, on the far shore of suffering when our time comes to go.

This reads like a loving father/husband in heaven sending down his best advice to his beloved daughter/wife on earth about how to find him now, and have eternal joy in the end, for the whole family?

line 3 ~ go on Retreat where everything is provided (food, shelter, yoga, etc)​

line 5 ~ Practice sustained Meditation​

line 6 ~ you can be joined together in Spirit​

So, yes he is happy that you are happy to get over and go on, and the bit of something he wants you to have is the assurance that a happy after-life awaits you, too.

I hope this helps!

I have to mention, it was not any kind of relative, no father. But once friend and lover, but as well kinda a hard guy whom I avoided for 6 years and just met again 2 weeks before his death.

This year is anyway a year of death for me. I have postet another question about someone who suicided and this as well was in my soul... and mind.
and yes its not my fault but I often go into remembrance and am sad about choosing a behaviour I maybe could have exchanged for another, healthier, more supporting one - but thats for the other question.
This death just happened last month and I was not close, but saw the person on a wednesday, when he passed on sunday, just about exactly 4 days later.
I am an astrologer and looked up the timequality. Looked interesting.
I was happy I made contact again and left all judgement behind.
Making peace while still alive. I thought maybe this even helped him leave.

One of the last favours I was asking him - if he had made it longer on the earth plane - was if he could be my contact person when I go on a meditation retreat, which starts in ONE week from now. , Or just in 6 days.
Now he cannot be my contactperson for the bureau of the vipassana center but maybe my contact for the "other side"

as well as the other person who died before.

Both of them, and the little cat, the wesps, the flies and whatever died this year next to me.

He even told me, the country I will journey to was not save but it is! I looked it up. So while interfering with my plans when still alive he now is fine with it.

my 2 cents

btw I just got some stuff from him, which was "inheritance" ...

 

[Devajyoti]

but in some way he was a fatherfigure for me, so yes. more fatherly than my biological father, if I forget some damage he as well caused. whatsoever

This is good...

The male to female transmission comes from the 3 changing lines, which are going from 3 yang (heaven, male) to 3 yin (earth, female), which can also be a brother/sister or any significant male/female relationship?

And, you are going on a Retreat in about 5 days time, too?

So, looking again at 33.3.5.6 to 16 as the answer to the question, "What is the dead person thinking in heaven about my doings?":

He (or they) will be Happy to see you at the vipassana Retreat during insight meditation.​

So, you are not called to judge with words, but rather to witness in silence:

​

All the wisdom that you need in order to get through this time of travail flows naturally from the witness position in the Present Moment:

​

My advice is to make a puja and offer-up your self-talk, both good and bad, in sacrifice for the blessings of silent witness, and then go have a great Retreat!

Many Blessings

ur pics are fantastic.
Can I do a puja on my own?
Mh, I once took part in pujas in a yogacenter, where this can be studied, but on my own?
how can I do that?
lighting a fire or candle? repeating a mantra? what else? which?

Thanks ~ ~ Yes, you can do a puja on your own by writing your intention down and then burning it mindfully.

Still, imho, it is better to find a temple or ashram or practice community, like a yogacenter, that keeps pujas on their calendar for public attendance, which could be happening tomorrow since it will mark the last quarter of the lunar cycle?

So, check around locally, but be sure to register your intention with yourself, at the least, before you go on Retreat?

You seem ready to me? Just let yourself be the best witness you can be:

​

Good Luck!
