Eclipses: I was touched by the spirit, and touched by the flame

AI: summary:This week is significant with the first of two eclipses happening September 17-18. It's a time for deep introspection, as the full moon eclipse offers an opportunity to confront what one projects onto others, encouraging a deeper integration of emotional and spiritual selves. With the Sun in Virgo and the Moon conjunct Neptune in Pisces, there’s a merging of the inner world with a higher spiritual source, allowing for a realignment with one’s true path/purpose.As Pluto retrogrades back into Capricorn, I find myself reflecting on the past 16 years, reassessing how my soul path has transformed. Meanwhile, Mars in Cancer stirs the emotional body, initiating the courage to pursue one’s purpose and connect deeply with it. Additionally, the nodes of the Moon are squaring my natal nodes, marking a crucial initiation where I’m called to open my heart and support others in their spiritual journeys.So, the news this week is that my episode with Robert Breedlove came out. It’s a solid three hours of a beautiful conversation where we touched on time, space, astrology, etymology, and mythology. I was brave enough to watch it yesterday, and I feel I come across as serene, yielding, and capable of holding space. This is huge for me, as these are patterns I’ve worked on for a long time, and they are now blossoming. Once upon a time, I was arrogant, with fixed views and flaunting my knowledge.By following this ecology of practices—Evolutionary astrology, human design, shadow work, humming, and human action—I was able to transform my arrogance into something more grounded. These tools helped me navigate the relationship between the unconscious-mythological-symbolic and the logical, conscious practice of human action. I’ve learned to embody a more open and reflective presence. Bitcoin, in its own way, mirrors this potential for transformation, offering a path to deeper self-awareness and action.Be the light you want in this world. Till soon!P.S.

Through it, I explore the profound connection between the body, mind, and spirit, revealing how everything I need—answers, strength, and wisdom—is already within me. It’s about tapping into the essence of one’s being, trusting the process, and realizing that the body holds the key to unlocking higher levels of consciousness and awareness.Drawing on Evolutionary astrology, Human Design, shadow work, and my personal experiences, I share how I’ve navigated life’s challenges by understanding and embracing my unique path. The book delves into the historical and economic systems that have shaped our collective and individual experiences, but ultimately, it brings the focus back to the individual—the power of the body, the wisdom it holds, and the liberation found in recognizing that everything we need is already within us.More than just a narrative, this book is an invitation to reconnect with your true self and embody your full potential.Last but not least listen to it blasting the volume: the eclipse soundtrack: Thank G*D for Nick Cave’s way to transform pain into meaning. “I was touched by the spirit, and touched by the flame” This is a public episode.
