Gold. Akshaya Tritiya: Getting & Keeping Your Valuables.
Dear Friend,
Sunday 19th April is ‘Akshaya Tritiya’, meaning ‘the indestructible 3rd day’ on the Indian lunar calendar.
It is believed, that any investments made, any new projects started, any partnerships formed (eg. marriage) are guaranteed to succeed and endure.
Most people take the opportunity to buy gold during Akshaya Tritya.
Gold represents several things. It firstly symbolises Shri Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and beauty. Secondly, it represents a thing whose value is not lost with the passage of time.
It’s a law of life and existence (Entropy: 2nd law of thermodynamics) that with the passage of time, most things grow old, decay or lose their initial vitality. Time, Kala, is the destroyer.
Gold does not do this. In Europe during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, there was even a movement to try and turn ordinary base metal into gold.
This is what became known as Alchemy. One branch became Chemistry. The other branch, which at the time was esoteric, is essentially the self-transformative activity you’re engaged in with your daily kundalini meditation.
Without being consciously aware of it, you’re trying to turn your ‘base metal’ into gold.
Take, for example, the state of thoughtless awareness that you perhaps achieve for a few seconds or minutes at a time when you meditate. That mental silence is all the time being lost as a result of our thinking habit.
What your kundalini is trying to do is to establish the non-thinking state as your baseline consciousness. You can think if you want to, but mostly you’re functioning OK without the running commentary in your head.
The way your kundalini does this is by anchoring you permanently in the eternal present. She makes you ‘kala-ateet’, beyond time.
This is the un-decaying state of gold that most people will achieve at some point.
So it doesn’t matter if you missed the window of opportunity to purchase actual gold.
The more valuable form of ‘gold’ that you’re investing in is the one you yourself become with your daily kundalini meditation. More below.

Best wishes
