60 Sleeping positions

This is a theme that I had heard of from various other sources. However, each time I heard it there seems to be some disparity in the direction. I have seen this theme in some astrological almanac also.

However, it is mentioned by Thurston in this book, Omens and Superstitions of Southern India.

QUOTE: If a person places the head towards the east when sleeping, he will obtain wealth and health; if towards the south, a lengthening of life; if towards the west, fame; if towards the north, sickness. END OF QUOTE.

I do not know about the correctness of the above advices as per the occult art. I just quoted from his book.

In my youthful days, I have seen scientifically inclined persons trying to explain away the possible logic of these contentions thus.

That the direction you sleep does make a difference with regard to how the centrifugal force acts on the human body. If you are sleeping in an east-west direction, or west-east direction, your body moves in the direction of the rotation, or against it, in the same plane of rotation.

Going along with it, with the head first will definitely have an effect that is different from that of going along with it with the feet first.

If you sleep in the north-south or south-north direction, your body will rotate along the direction of rotation in a perpendicular manner, with either the left side or the right side of your body moving first; depending on whether your head is to the north or to the south.

There was another ‘scientific’ explanation that I had heard. It is connected in a similar manner, to the direction of the magnetic field of the earth.

There is no technology that I know of which can prove the credibility of the beliefs or ‘superstitions’ mentioned by Thurston.

With the tremendous powers of slight codes, touching etc. that emerging technology is bringing to limelight, it might be a quite a silly attitude to discard everything as mere ‘superstitions’ of the ignorant. For actually these so-called ‘ignorants’ were not that ignorant. In fact, this was a fact mentioned by the English colonial rulers of the subcontinent. They found it wonderful that traditional carpenters with no educational qualifications or training in any college of architecture could conceive and built huge architectural marvels. However, the problem faced by these technically skilled persons was that they were in a shackled state under the various layers of castes and repulsions of the subcontinent.

Speaking about the unbelievable powers encoded in touch, I can mention an incident. It is an incident which when mentioned now, will look quite a natural one, and nothing comment much upon.

After using the Whatsapp Messenger for a brief moment, I folded the Smartphone cover flap on the screen. Holding the Smartphone, I went in for some quite private conversation with someone. After sometime, just to check something, I opened the Smartphone flap, to see that the whole conversation of around 3 minutes had been recorded into the Whatsapp chat. When I was trying to understand what was happening, it got sent.

My silly private conversation of around 3 minute’s duration had gone to other people hearing. What I did wrong was that I was holding on to the Whatsapp’s recording button when conversing. The Wifi is in a switched on position most of the time.

It was an extremely coincidental incident. However, as I had mentioned elsewhere, coincidences have been a part of my life.

Now, this is an event if viewed from the times of Thurston, would have looked quite improbable. Just a touch doing so much mischief?

However, it was a series of machineries that did the mischief, when they acted in a systematic manner. The switched-on Wifi, the Whatsapp’s chat location, the flap cover which was soft, my holding exactly in the location of the recording button of the Whatsapp, the removal of my hands from the recording button, the time I took to understand what was happening, the efficiency of the Whatsapp in sending what is recorded within moments &c.

Another accomplice was the electric power. Over here, it regularly goes off, at times around 8 to 12 times a day. So, if it had been at a time when the power was off, the recording would not have moved. However, at this critical moment, the power-line stood steadfast.

When one conceives reality as the handiwork of some kind of supernatural software, then it might be wise to consider the possibility of all kinds of improbable things being possible.

Now coming back to the sleeping positions, well, it has to be solely investigated at the location of the supernatural software arena. All kinds of other investigations are mere beating around the bush.
