yellow sapphire signifies highest-order thinking

knowledge has organizing power.

A distinctive precious treasure, yellow sapphire is known for its powerful healing properties that bring the wearer a magnificent halo unmatched to any other luster in the universe. It signifies knowledge, wisdom, virtue, fortune, justice, education, future, religion, philosophy, devotion, children, distant travel, spirituality, truthfulness, prosperity and charity.

It acts as a ‘Guru’ influence, is the major instructor or teacher, and inclines action with the highest order and balance. It's use brings about affection and harmonious relations amongst family members, and the reputation of the bearer increases day by day as one respected everywhere. The 'yellow sapphire Guru' influence guides action in the most harmonious and uplifting manner, balancing inner and outer input while simultaneously performing and monitoring actions. It is ruled by the planet Jupiter, the largest and heaviest planet in the solar system and the teacher of Gods. Jupiter is given the ministership among the assembly of nine planets. The planet Jupiter is a *sattvik (natural/organic term used in Yoga) and benefitting planet, significator of luck and fortune.

The colour of the Jupiter is yellow. Thursday is his days and northeast is his direction. The yellow sapphire gemstone is related to Jupiter which is most beneficial to the natives of the Sagittarius and Pisces signs of the zodiac.

Like the sun, this precious stone spreads across warmth, knowledge and tranquility but unlike the sun, the yellow sapphire is known to bring in mental peace. Jupiter's influence in the human physiology is through the globus pallidus. This globular structure is like a teacher in the physiology. It gives balanced and higher-order instructions, balances and maintains harmony between inner and outer input, manages and executes complex systems, and enlivens activity in the brain while guiding actions. Another interesting attribute of note is that it brings together people wearing the similar stone. The colour yellow brings in a sense of learning and warmth. It's no wonder that people wearing the yellow sapphire are attracted towards knowledge. They seem to do great deal of good to others in particular. The best yellow sapphires, famous for their luster, smoothness, brilliance, and transparence, come from Mogok, situated in the upper region of Burma.

Floating Away - jah da ma

headed down that road again
making conversation with the wind
an essence revealed in a rarity of mist
ethos buoyant milieu of verdant island bliss

winding jungle paths to a secret lagoon
amidst the fragrance of tropical blooms
skipping a stone obliquely ripples the calm
of the zephyrs evocative mantric song

Floating away from the world
letting go of time
You are here and I am there
for this moment we both can share, floating

Close my eyes now I'm floating away
In a lissom progression of rainbow shades
salvation's silhouette of cogent vision
beyond the scope of conventional wisdom

in words of the turtle, whale, & the dolphin,
a scintillating chant of homily
or the venerated mystic beckoned to sage
heartened to mentor this auspicious occasion

floating on top of the world
starry skies disappear
dawn awakening and we are one
a passage reposed to the natural order of all,
floating . . . dreaming of you

on a mystical journey to a far away land
of ancient ways of understanding
rising spirit ruminations of lucid reverie
elucidations of acumen
in a wisp of wind mounted from out of the blue
a supernatural discourse came to light
far beyond celestial cosmic energy
an aura of love, peace, & tranquility

stirring words of a prophet
echoed from the holy ghost,
to monks of chi essence and gypsy oracles
of mother nature's longing desire to sow
imparting epochs oneness mind, body and soul

Floating way from the world
letting go of time
you are here and I am there
for this moment we both can share

Close my eyes now I'm floating away
In a lissom progression of rainbow shades
salvation's silhouette of cogent vision
beyond the scope of conventional wisdom

in words of the turtle, whale, & the dolphin,
a scintillating chant of homily
or the venerated mystic beckoned to sage
heartened to mentor this auspicious occasion

floating on top of the world
starry skies disappear
dawn awakening and we are one
a passage reposed to the natural order of all,
floating . . . dreaming of you . . .
floating - floating away

the tone of Jupiter, the greatest of all the planets within our solar system is the same as the Sound of the Universe, so Jupiter is the way our system attunes to the universal sound, which certainly seems fitting. In astrology Jupiter is called the Greater Benefic, the ruler of Sagittarius, and is regarded as the most fortunate of all the planetary influences. So this idea that Jupiter has the most harmonious attunement with the grand scheme of things accords very well.

It fits into an idea of the planetary tones as carrier frequencies are somehow modulated or given program content. How and by what or whom Im not sure, but the esoteric traditions regard the planets as grand living beings (viz. the Gaia Hypothesis) if they have magnetic fields. So it may be that the basic planetary tone is set by the light diameter, the nature of the overlay or modulation is more a function of the planetary core that generates the magnetic field and its artifacts. This would allow the powerful and dynamic relationship among the Sun, Jupiter and the Jupiter Moons [that you have] described to assume the central position it deserves, as the primary interaction between the Sound of the Universe and the Sound of the Solar System.
