Good to see you. 38 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:16,440 This is my last day in the space that I've lived in for almost a 39 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,400 year. Some of you know that in a 40 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,440 unexpected turn of events last spring and eclipse season, I was 41 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:31,080 displaced from my home because of all kinds of things, many of 42 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,400 them having to do with Pisces. It was a Pisces eclipse, so 43 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:39,600 there was a water leak and damage because of that, and then 44 00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:49,160 mold and, yeah, environment that was toxic and had to go. 45 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,240 And through the immense generosity of a stranger, my 46 00:02:54,240 --> 00:03:01,200 neighbor's mom, my partner and I were able to stay in this space 47 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,040 almost for an entire year. And now that's changing. 48 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:14,040 So I mentioned last week big changes in my life. 49 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:19,600 I know that many who are here and also not here are also in 50 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,080 immense times of change. And that's really the theme of 51 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:28,480 this time is immense change. And I'm guessing that I'm not 52 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:34,920 alone in feeling kind of sensation of stepping out over 53 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,080 an abyss. I heard a story recently about a 54 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:44,840 a being who became a deity who reached transcendence by 55 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:52,800 stepping out over an abyss. And this being had tried 56 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,600 throughout their life to reach enlightenment and had gone 57 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:03,640 through all these tests and trials and tribulations and had 58 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,920 met what they perceived as a final Test. 59 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:14,480 And this was a test of their desire body, their lust and 60 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,959 attraction. And in the test, they didn't 61 00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:24,040 give in, but they still felt the longing, they still felt the 62 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,720 draw. And so they thought that they 63 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,400 had failed the test, that just because they had wanted 64 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,200 something that they knew would pull them from the path, that 65 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:38,040 that was a failure of the test. And so they walked out over this 66 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:43,400 abyss and jumped into it, not knowing that that was actually 67 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,000 the final Test. So they gave their life. 68 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:51,920 They were like, I didn't succeed, I failed and I got to 69 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,720 end this. And they jumped out over the 70 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,920 abyss and that was the final Test. 71 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,320 And these Dragons came up from the abyss and lifted them up and 72 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,920 brought them into the sphere of of their transcendence. 73 00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:09,840 So that story just arrived as I was talking, but it feels like a 74 00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:12,440 good one for the astrology of the week ahead. 75 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,800 So I'll just go into my spiel now. 76 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,680 I'm going to start to flow the way that I do. 77 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,280 I'm an associative, intuitive astrologer. 78 00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:25,080 I can be tangential. So as you hear these words, let 79 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,560 them wash over you. Always take what works and leave 80 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,960 the rest and make the meanings that are meaningful for you. 81 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,200 As is my practice, and as I often do in somatic space, I 82 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,640 drew some cards today. After I had kind of journaled 83 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,160 done my own process with the astrology of the week ahead, I 84 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,760 tuned in with one of my favorite decks, the Lineages of Change. 85 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,360 And so 2 cards came forward to guide our practice today. 86 00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:53,920 And the first is the Seed of Earth. 87 00:05:54,840 --> 00:05:58,160 And in this image there are dominant colors of gold and 88 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,440 yellow and green and purple and black. 89 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,440 And there are these beautiful blooms coming up from what looks 90 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,320 like a river of golden sunlight. And then behind the blooms is a 91 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,440 face. And the face, the blooms are 92 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,120 covering the eyes, but the nose and the mouth are pointing 93 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,040 upwards on the diagonal. And it looks like this face is 94 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:25,440 just taking in the lusciousness of the scent of these blooms and 95 00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:29,280 kind of basking in the golden glow of the light that's there. 96 00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:32,000 And so if you're looking at the image, also just notice what you 97 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,680 see. So the seed of earth responds to 98 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:40,000 the page of pentacles or discs. In a traditional tarot. 99 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,080 The keywords are entitlement, good news, exploration, 100 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,920 curiosity and adventurousness. The description says delight in 101 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,840 the adventure. Revel in your own curiosity 102 00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:55,360 drawing you forward. This is a moment for exploring 103 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,280 and enjoying it. Good news is all around you. 104 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,760 It only needs your attention. In reverse, this card calls you 105 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,720 back to your wonder. You may think you know it all or 106 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,640 need to know everything urgently. 107 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,000 Take your time. There's always more to discover. 108 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,360 What's the most exciting thing on the horizon? 109 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:19,080 And then there's a quote by Devorah Major from Tradewinds. 110 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,160 And they say we do not know a planet that is home. 111 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,440 We're always home. It's our job to see and map and 112 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,480 learn languages and stories and carry them from place to place. 113 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,280 And then the second card that came through is The Root of 114 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:38,800 Fire. I love this card. 115 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,240 I draw it all the time. It's like one of the ones that 116 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,600 comes to get me often. And this card has a lot of 117 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:50,000 colors, a lot of warm colors, Reds and oranges and golds and 118 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,640 pinks and purples. And there's this figure, this 119 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:59,920 like sensual, curvaceous figure that has a stance that just 120 00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:04,000 seems really bold and empowered and playful and also deeply 121 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,240 sensual. That's what comes forward 122 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,320 through me. And behind the figure is this 123 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:13,880 just glow of what I take as a kind of like cosmic creative 124 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,480 light, divine light. So the root of fire relates to 125 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,320 the Knight of Wands in a traditional deck. 126 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,280 And the keywords here are excitement, energy, flexible 127 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,320 intuition, adventure, and excessive energy. 128 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,920 And the description says we can always harness the energy of 129 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,240 excitement, following an intuition that feels like 130 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,320 internal sparks in order to turn and face our next adventure. 131 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,559 You hold the whole future within you, bringing abundance wherever 132 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,160 you go. You seek what is seeking you. 133 00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:50,680 You gather what you need to survive in reverse. 134 00:08:50,680 --> 00:08:53,920 Consider how to stay and write relationship when there's a lot 135 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,960 of energy involved. What's good for you can harm 136 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,520 others if not channeled through solid grounding. 137 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,840 Find a rhythm that works for you and those you love. 138 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,800 Who is calling for your fire? And then there's a quote from 139 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:12,280 Audrey Lorde, from her writing uses of the erotic as power. 140 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,600 And the quote says, when we begin to live from within, 141 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,680 outward in touch with the power of the erotic within ourselves 142 00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:23,240 and allowing that power to inform and illuminate our 143 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,880 actions upon the world around us, then we begin to be 144 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,920 responsible to ourselves in the deepest sense. 145 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,720 And the cards also have plant allies. 146 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,320 And I didn't mention the one for the seed of earth, but the one 147 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,080 for the root of fire is dandelion, which is an Aries 148 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,560 season and and Aries energy ally. 149 00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:47,640 And the description that they offer here says survival, 150 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,800 perseverance against all odds, nourishment, flexibility and 151 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,560 resourcefulness. And if you're in the northern 152 00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:57,000 hemisphere, dandelions are abundant right now. 153 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,360 So you might consider going to gather some of them and then 154 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,960 consider brewing them as a detox tea or roast the roots for 155 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,040 dandelion coffee. You can make dandelion leaf 156 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,320 pesto or dandelion wine. Dandelion flour syrup is like 157 00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:15,640 honey, and dandelion helps clear stagnancy from the liver. 158 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:20,320 And in elemental medicine, the liver is one of the places where 159 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,360 we store anger and frustration, which can be energies that 160 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,840 certainly have a lot of reasons to be emerging right now, not 161 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,600 just because it's airy season, but because of all the things. 162 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:37,240 So this week, the astrology starts off today with Venus 163 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,560 conjunct with Ceres. And Ceres is a grainmother, 164 00:10:41,560 --> 00:10:46,600 Earth goddess energy, and her story is deeply one of loss, but 165 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,600 also of reunion and remembering and transformation. 166 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:55,440 So in her loss she mourns and she becomes humble. 167 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,440 She leaves her place in the heavens and comes down to take 168 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,240 the form of an earthly person, an old woman, which is different 169 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,240 than many gods. You know, in the story, the 170 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,920 Greek stories of the gods, when they take human forms, they're 171 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:11,080 often beautiful, you know, like strapping and whatever, you 172 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,960 know, godly kind of human forms. But Ceres comes in and takes a 173 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,240 very humble form and she practices humility. 174 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,680 And so that word, humble humility, is the root word of of 175 00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:24,440 humus, right, which is the earth. 176 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,880 And in her transformation, she's grieving. 177 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,680 And she's grieving the loss of her daughter. 178 00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:35,240 And her daughter has been stolen and abducted by forces which are 179 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:40,240 profoundly oppressive and domineering and violent. 180 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,360 And her daughter has been taken to the realms of hell, into the 181 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,240 underworld. And she doesn't know how to get 182 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,600 her back. And so she releases herself into 183 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,640 the Underworld, and that's part of the transformation and part 184 00:11:54,640 --> 00:12:00,160 of the call for reunification. And in her release of herself to 185 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,520 the Underworld, she releases her attachments to what she grows on 186 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,800 Earth as the goddess of grain. She stops growing grain. 187 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,240 And so then humanity is also released to the underworld, and 188 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,240 humans begin to die, and they can't make their sacrifices to 189 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,200 the gods anymore. And this is what gets things to 190 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,080 turn around. The gods start to pay attention 191 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,560 and they realize that they need to negotiate. 192 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,680 And so they do. And the negotiation doesn't get 193 00:12:28,680 --> 00:12:30,400 serious. Everything that she wants. 194 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:35,080 But what it does get is season and cyclical growth. 195 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,000 And so throughout this process of negotiation and 196 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,440 transformation, what happens on earth is that seasons happen. 197 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,640 And so there are seasons of abundance and seasons of 198 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:50,480 fallowness and series in her reunification with her daughter, 199 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,520 who has now become the queen of the underworld. 200 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:57,680 They bring forth into humanity the rights of transformation and 201 00:12:57,680 --> 00:13:00,960 the rights of transformation. The Ellicinian rights or 202 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:06,080 mysteries are a ritual practice, an initiation practice for human 203 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,680 beings to face our fear of death and dying and ending and 204 00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:13,000 impermanence, and actually to travel into the underworld in 205 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:18,440 our own psyches and embrace what is there for us. 206 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,960 And in embracing what is there, we make the space for new growth 207 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:27,800 to happen. So Ceres and Venus are conjunct 208 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,280 today, and Venus also has a lot of resonance with Earth. 209 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,000 And Venus is in her home sign of Taurus, a very earthly 210 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,880 placement. And they are trying with the 211 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,480 South Node in Virgo, sextile the North Node in Pisces. 212 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,200 And I'm feeling this, you know, very much as a time of rituals 213 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,280 for letting go. And in the letting go of things, 214 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,480 there's a lot of grief and there's rage and there's 215 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,800 upsetness that things couldn't be different than they are. 216 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,440 But there's also a sense of the need to let go of things because 217 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:07,520 when we hold on too long, what happens is we oppress life. 218 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,240 Actually, life needs us to let go. 219 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:16,000 Life needs compost in order to grow, and the Earth needs our 220 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,360 tears. The Earth needs our grieving, 221 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,520 and that is what makes space for new growth to emerge. 222 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,080 I woke up today with just deep sorrow and grief for the Earth, 223 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,360 knowing, you know, that there's this ongoing news of what the 224 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:37,360 Trump administration is doing to the planet right now, destroying 225 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,560 protections for the environment, for animals, for plants, for 226 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:46,280 water, for us, and taking all of our resources, right? 227 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:51,160 40% of every dollar you spend if you live here in the so-called 228 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,680 United States goes to a war machine. 229 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,200 And right now that war machine is raging, and it's raging and 230 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:03,080 an indiscriminate, completely nihilistic and and sadistic way. 231 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,800 And it's doing that with our resources, right? 232 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,080 And so there is a big call right now. 233 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,440 There's a big movement to practice politics of Refusal. 234 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,280 And this is Ceres, right? Ceres says, I'm not going to 235 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,920 grow grain anymore for your sacrifices. 236 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:24,000 So while we might individually feel powerless in the face of 237 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,520 the war machine, those of us that are participating in this 238 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,160 economy do have a little bit of power. 239 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:35,480 And part of how we wield our power is by working differently 240 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,160 with resource. And so this might be a time that 241 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,200 because of many conditions, including fabricated economic 242 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,880 scarcity, many things are becoming much more expensive. 243 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,440 It's more and more challenging to survive economically. 244 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:57,880 Well, you know, corporations and the oil companies and the ultra 245 00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,920 wealthy continue to get ultra wealthy. 246 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,520 This is a time when many people need to reduce, right? 247 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:09,400 And there's a kind of call to reduce consumption and to let go 248 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,480 of the idea that more is more and embrace the idea that less 249 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,600 could be more. We don't need to participate 250 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,360 with the myth of constant economic growth in order to have 251 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,880 abundance. Abundance actually can come more 252 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,800 fully when we let go of the need to have personal attachment and 253 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,560 possession and learn to share with one another this sense of 254 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,960 being humbled, right. The humility of coming back to 255 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,520 the earth, of not needing to have everything for ourselves. 256 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:43,800 And in that opening up to what might be offered and what we can 257 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,240 help Co create and cultivate together could bring forward so 258 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:53,000 much abundance and richness that could expand deeply beyond our 259 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,120 personal lives and bodies. Those of you that are paying 260 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,200 taxes, those of us that are paying taxes, you know there's a 261 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:07,040 big movement right now for more tax resistance and tax strike. 262 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,760 There are consequences to that. Maybe you're a person that feels 263 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:17,280 inclined to consolidate power with others who are willing to 264 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:22,119 risk those consequences. There are consequences to giving 265 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,920 up our attachments, and a lot of the consequences, especially 266 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,040 when we're dealing with Taurus energy, have to do with not 267 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,360 knowing where we're going to get our comfort or our safety. 268 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,520 Letting go of what's familiar, letting go of what's stable. 269 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,520 Huge risk involved when we let go in the Taurian realms because 270 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,960 that's life, that's sustenance, that's body, that's materiality. 271 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:53,440 So threatening that is a it's a big risk and it doesn't serve us 272 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,600 to pretend that it's not. It serves us to turn towards the 273 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:03,040 risk. So when we turn towards the 274 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:07,760 risk, what happens? We feel it. 275 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:13,000 We get to get in touch with our grief, with our fear, with our 276 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,080 loneliness, with the parts of us that are completely freaked out. 277 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:22,320 And when we feel the feelings that are there, that's when we 278 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,840 can transform them. That's actually when we have the 279 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,440 most power to be in our own choice and agency. 280 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:33,160 Pretending to not be scared is not courage, right? 281 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,320 That's avoidance. And that often leads to really 282 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,520 unconscious action, turning towards our fear and actually 283 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,760 allowing ourselves to feel the fear that's there and uncoupling 284 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,960 shame from that. Allowing ourselves to be soft, 285 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:52,960 human, fragile relational beings that have needs and 286 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:57,600 acknowledging when there are fears allows us then to work 287 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,040 skillfully with fear and to make choices from places of 288 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,880 consciousness. And that's freedom. 289 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,040 If there is any such thing as being free inside of these 290 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,720 material bodies that are completely restricted and shaped 291 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,400 by our conditions and the consequences of many, many, 292 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,560 many, many choices and situations that are not inside 293 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:25,320 of our control. So on Tuesday, the asteroid Juno 294 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,320 is in Aquarius and it's sextile with Neptune in Aries. 295 00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:34,640 And this feels to me like a sending out of mycelial threads 296 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,000 into the collective. And Juno is all about 297 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:43,880 commitment, and Aquarius is all about consciousness, and Neptune 298 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:48,840 is all about the way that subtle dreams become reality. 299 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,360 And Aries is all about personal power. 300 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,400 And so in this aspect, I am feeling the ways that many of us 301 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,360 are dreaming new dreams. And we're sending out these 302 00:20:00,360 --> 00:20:03,720 hyphy threads, right? These mycelial passages to one 303 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,520 another. We share information together, 304 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:11,200 we share inspiration, we resonate and connect in ways 305 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,800 that are unpredictable and. And chaotic and underground and 306 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,280 completely organic and rhizomatic. 307 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,360 So they don't move through the pathways of empire. 308 00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:27,120 They move underneath it all. And there's something that's 309 00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:29,760 happening. There's so much that's happening 310 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:37,800 that's beyond the kind of noise of what we might be experiencing 311 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,680 in our most material. And I'm going to say superficial 312 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,000 day-to-day. And when I say superficial, what 313 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,840 I mean is the most obvious, the most surface layers. 314 00:20:47,360 --> 00:20:51,080 There's so much that's happening underneath the surface of 315 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,640 things. And a lot of what's happening is 316 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:58,080 happening because of everything that also is not happening 317 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,960 anymore. So the sacrifices that have been 318 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:06,000 made, the lives that have been lost, the losses and the letting 319 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,280 goes that we are ourselves involved in, they don't just 320 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,920 disappear into nothingness. They transform and they become 321 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,760 something else. And so we're all part of some 322 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:22,400 kind of chaotic unknown happening right now that 323 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,560 actually has a lot of power. And the power is the power of 324 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:32,560 our dreaming and attention. There is a war happening right 325 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,160 now fighting for our attention, right? 326 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:40,040 And attention is probably the most valuable currency that any 327 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,040 of us have. And when we put attention 328 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,480 towards things, they grow, they become manifest. 329 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,920 And attention is directed by our intention. 330 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:56,080 And so this aspect to me this week feels like a real call to 331 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,520 be intentional about our intention. 332 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,880 And then this feels like it gets amplified as we move towards 333 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,640 what happens on Wednesday and Thursday. 334 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:12,240 So on Wednesday, Mars is sextile with Uranus, and Mars is at the 335 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,200 very last degree of Pisces, which is the last degree of the 336 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,200 entire Zodiac. And Uranus is at the very last 337 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,280 degree of Taurus. And Uranus will be leaving 338 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,720 Taurus later in April, and it has been transiting Taurus since 339 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:30,440 2018. These last degrees of any sign, 340 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,920 but especially Pisces and Taurus, are so thick and full of 341 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:39,960 stuff. There's so much stuff that 342 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:45,960 builds up and accumulates in Taurus and Pisces just as 343 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,680 energetic signatures. Taurus is about the dense 344 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,800 materiality of the body and Earth. 345 00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:54,320 Pisces is about the collective dream space and psychic 346 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:58,560 energetic space, and so much gets built up there. 347 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,000 A lot of people, myself included, probably a lot of 348 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,920 people here, are experiencing the symptoms of these late 349 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,480 degrees right now and the symptoms of these kind of 350 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,440 anoretic influences. It feels like you're just full 351 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,400 of shit, that your life is full of shit, right? 352 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,680 Full of stuff. Things might feel so stuck, so 353 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,600 stagnant, so never ending, so full. 354 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,480 You might actually be experiencing bodily and physical 355 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,680 symptoms of that where stuff is coming out. 356 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:36,160 You might be having inflammatory reactions or like you don't feel 357 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:37,800 good. You feel really sluggish. 358 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:42,800 It's like you're full of stuff. It could be that situations that 359 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:48,880 have been, you know, weighted gravitational forces in your 360 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:53,120 life over these last seven or eight years of Uranus in Taurus 361 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,640 feel like they're really amplified right now. 362 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,520 And you're like, motherfucker, is it ever going to end? 363 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,520 Right. Like there might be certain 364 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,600 situations where you're like God, this situation still. 365 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,000 And if things are feeling like that for you know that the 366 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:13,840 intensity and the frustration and the acuteness is meant to 367 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,720 really get you to push it out of your system. 368 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,400 And so there is actually like a wisdom in the inflammatory 369 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,880 response in the body, right? Like that's pushing things to 370 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,600 the surface. It's pushing things to the 371 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,840 system. When we get really frustrated, 372 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:35,160 when we feel like I've had enough of something, I'm so done 373 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,800 with this feeling. That's a really important 374 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:44,800 threshold in order to be able to let go actually, and cut a cord 375 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,600 with something and step into something new. 376 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,960 So we've been approaching this for a while. 377 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,760 There's been so much happening in Pisces now for like 3 years. 378 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,280 So you may have been feeling this, you know, over the last 379 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,520 couple of years, like the sense of saturation and fullness and 380 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,160 doneness and blah, just like let's get it out. 381 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,120 And this week there might be like some particular kinds of 382 00:25:10,120 --> 00:25:13,360 manifestations of that, especially as you move towards 383 00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:18,160 the middle of the week. Then on Thursday, we have the 384 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:24,200 first quarter lunation and this is a first quarter Moon in 385 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,800 Capricorn. And Capricorn is on the Cardinal 386 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,040 cross with Aries. And the Cardinal signs are all 387 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,520 about movement and shift and change. 388 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,640 Aries is about manifestation and initiation of new energy. 389 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:42,760 And Capricorn is about building something that's solid and being 390 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,480 able to work wisely and skillfully with what comes from 391 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,560 the past. And so Aries is about the 392 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,640 future. But Capricorn says nothing 393 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,600 starts from nowhere, right? Pay attention to what you've 394 00:25:54,600 --> 00:26:00,120 already learned and root into the foundations that have 395 00:26:00,120 --> 00:26:02,240 already been built. You've built your own 396 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,840 foundations through trial and error, and foundations have also 397 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,360 been built for you through ancestral forces. 398 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,280 And there is a lot of resource to draw upon. 399 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:16,200 And resources include failures as well as successes, right? 400 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,360 We learn a lot from where we fail. 401 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,440 We learn a lot from pain and obstruction and challenge. 402 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,320 And this is a big lesson that Capricorn brings in. 403 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,040 And on that day of the first quarter Moon, Mercury is 404 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:33,120 finishing its retro shade. So it started its retrograde 405 00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:39,600 shadow on February 11th and that's when it passed 22° of 406 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,480 Pisces. And then it had its whole 407 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,000 retrograde in late February to late March. 408 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,680 Then it's stations direct and over the last couple of weeks 409 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,120 it's been traveling direct going back over this terrain. 410 00:26:53,120 --> 00:26:55,920 Then it first passed in the later half of February. 411 00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:02,040 So you might reflect back to February right now if your 412 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,160 memory allows you to do so or if you have some kind of technology 413 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,000 that logs your memories for you. And particularly you might 414 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:14,000 contemplate Pisces in your chart and what has been underway in 415 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,880 process in that part of your chart. 416 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:22,880 So 22° of Pisces as a Sabian symbol is represented as a 417 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,520 medium, as a spiritualist bringing through a spirit. 418 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,280 And the symbolic interpretation of this has to do with the 419 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:36,280 expenditure of life force in order to be vessels and conduits 420 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,960 for spiritual energy. In this symbol, we are reminded 421 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,840 that we're always working with subtle energies, with invisible 422 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:51,240 forces, with unseen allies, and also the stuff that is floating 423 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:55,360 in the collective sphere that might be unknown or unfelt. 424 00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:00,960 There's so much that we are sensitive to and vessels for 425 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,880 that is beyond what we can be conscious of at any given time. 426 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:10,840 But many of us are compelled to become more conscious, to settle 427 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,640 energies so that we can work skillfully with them and so that 428 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,440 we can be conscious vessels for them. 429 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,880 And this is what a medium does. And if you're working with 430 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,680 astrology or divination of any kind, or if you're a person who 431 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,920 tunes in with your intuition, which I know that all of you 432 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:33,880 are, that's why you're here, then we are people who Orient 433 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:39,000 ourselves towards becoming more skillful conduits and vessels 434 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,080 for subtle energies. And This is why I work with 435 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,600 astrology, right? I work with astrology so that I 436 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,480 can divine messages that help me attune myself to the deeper 437 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,760 lessons that are coming through. Not to avoid them, not to 438 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,800 manipulate them, but to be more present inside of them. 439 00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,240 Because I believe that I can work with those energies that 440 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,440 they want to collaborate with me and they're going to be working 441 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,800 with me whether or not I'm conscious of it. 442 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:10,320 But my consciousness can increase the efficacy of 443 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:17,080 collaboration often. So this symbol asks us to really 444 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,520 cultivate and develop the strength of subtle 445 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,680 consciousness, which is incredibly challenging. 446 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,920 Working with subtle consciousness is harder. 447 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,000 It's more challenging than working with dense 448 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,080 consciousness, right? You can pick up something and 449 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:37,040 smash it without being that conscious of what you're doing. 450 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:43,360 But to create something from a dream requires profound 451 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:48,080 attention, and to recognize where you're already inside of a 452 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:52,480 dream and to shift the dream requires really strong inner 453 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:58,160 strength. So working with this energy, we 454 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:03,080 want to tune in with our intention again, what is it that 455 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,520 we are wanting to create and Co create in the world? 456 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:11,680 And in that intention and attunement, what we're not 457 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:16,840 wanting to do is ignore the external and the quote UN quote 458 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:21,640 realities that are discordant with our intentions or desires. 459 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:26,120 So we're alive at a time of fuckery and war, right? 460 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,120 I'm guessing none of us here are trying to manifest that. 461 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,160 I'm guessing everybody here is really on a path of trying to 462 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:37,280 manifest in their lives what is loving, what is healing, and 463 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:42,040 what feels truly well. The realities that we live 464 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:46,360 inside of can be so disheartening and depressing and 465 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:51,720 disturbing, and they can cause us to feel intense apathy and 466 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:56,280 feelings of failure and our own kind of defeat. 467 00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,680 That's very easy, right? To feel that in many ways. 468 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,480 There are plenty of people who will meet that through spiritual 469 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,400 bypassing and avoidance. And they'll be, they'll be like, 470 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,000 oh, I'm just here with what I'm creating. 471 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,720 I'm loving light inside. So I'm going to push away that 472 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,880 other reality. I'm going to ignore that it's 473 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,560 happening and I'm going to build a bubble around myself so that I 474 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,880 only experience what I want to experience. 475 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,600 And I'm just going to give my opinion there and say that I 476 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,600 don't think that's very effective and that it can often 477 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:31,520 be extremely harmful because there's not an active engagement 478 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,000 with the harm that's actually happening, which can be really, 479 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,760 you know, deeply disappointing for people who are trying to be 480 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:43,200 in relationship with those folks and are experiencing some of the 481 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,120 negativity or harm that's happening. 482 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:50,880 It's a completely different practice to be deeply aligned 483 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:55,400 with what you are wanting to manifest with the love, with the 484 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,600 brilliance, with the Wellness that you know is possible and 485 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:03,560 that you can access in moments of quietude or meditation or 486 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:08,360 concentration on beauty. While you are also present with 487 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,160 everything that's happening in the external, including that 488 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,720 which is deeply discordant with your own desires and dreams. 489 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,880 And this is what a medium has to do. 490 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,880 This is what a channel actually has to do, is be able to 491 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:27,680 concentrate effectively on their own energy inside of 492 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,200 environments that can be deeply distracting. 493 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:35,080 They need to be able to maintain their link with spirit, which is 494 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:39,880 subtle force and frequency, in order to bring spirit through 495 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,040 into the dense realms where there's all kinds of opposition 496 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:49,880 and oppression and otherwise. And so while we are experiencing 497 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:54,280 human life in 2026 on planet Earth together, and there's a 498 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,480 lot that's happening that is really discordant with the 499 00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:01,360 dreams that many of us have and hold dear, there's also an 500 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:08,040 opportunity right now to be these mycelial webs with one 501 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:12,560 another by resonating consciously in our frequencies 502 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,800 inside of the realities that we're in. 503 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,320 Not trying to escape them, not trying to avoid them, not trying 504 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,120 to pretend that they're not here, not taking ourselves 505 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:25,400 outside of them, but actually really rooting and grounding 506 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:31,360 inside of them and saturating our spaces with intentionality 507 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:36,120 and making ourselves conscious vessels for the subtle energies 508 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,920 and subtle frequencies that we are connecting with 509 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:43,040 intentionally. And so This is why we practice. 510 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,760 This is why we pray, This is why we do somatic exercises, and 511 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,600 this is also why we come together and share with each 512 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,920 other so that we can remind and remember each other inside of 513 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,160 the hellish landscapes that are being created by sadistic, 514 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,680 nihilistic dreams. We can remember together that 515 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,320 there are other dreams that are happening, and the more that we 516 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,480 can do that together, the more strength and power those dreams 517 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,880 accumulate. Mars moves into Aries the same 518 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,120 day as the first quarter Moon, and as Mercury leaves its 519 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:19,000 retrograde shadow, this is a big ignition switch. 520 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:23,520 Mars is coming into its fiery home, into its domicile, and the 521 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,440 first aspect that it's going to make is on Sunday when it 522 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:30,760 conjoins with Neptune. Mercury, as it finishes its 523 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,920 retrograde shadow will also be conjunct with Palace and Pisces. 524 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,880 So this is strategy coming through and this is will for 525 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,960 action also coming through. It's also fucking insanity, 526 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,679 right? We have a completely insane war 527 00:34:46,679 --> 00:34:50,040 monger. You know, war monger is plural 528 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:56,320 manifesting religious war and spiritual terrorism and earthly 529 00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:03,800 destruction that's happening and we are here and this is I think 530 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:08,640 the the moment that we've all arrived for there are prophecies 531 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,640 that are coming true and the prophecy is one of a spiritual 532 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:16,280 war and the prophecy is 1 also of a return of some kind of 533 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,760 priced consciousness, Messiah consciousness. 534 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,520 I don't know, but I'm just going to put it out there that that's 535 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,560 all of us. And it's not one guy like 536 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:30,640 showing up like, hey, I'm back. You know, the message that has 537 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,800 come through all the prophets is that we are all vessels of God, 538 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,440 right? God is with inside all of us. 539 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:41,000 The divine is when inside all of us, Goddess, God X, however you 540 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,720 want to name them, that is, we are all here, and the 541 00:35:44,720 --> 00:35:50,040 remembering of that is the only thing that can actually counter 542 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:57,600 the absolute insanity of these hellish forces that are dreaming 543 00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,240 a terrible dream on earth right now. 544 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,600 So now is the time I see in the comments. 545 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,680 Messiah means being led by the divine. 546 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:11,080 Literally us right now. Yes, now is the time we're here. 547 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,640 We're alive at an extremely confusing time. 548 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,600 Mars is going to be conjunct with Neptune in the early 549 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,960 degrees of Aries. What the fuck is happening? 550 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,840 What does that mean for you, for me, for any of us, for survival, 551 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,120 for any individuals, or for the Earth as a whole? 552 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:28,800 Who knows? It's overwhelming, it's 553 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,360 confusing, it's terrifying, it's enraging, and it's also a time 554 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:37,200 that calls for profound faith and embodiment of deep love and 555 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:43,840 purposefulness. Yes, E says. 556 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,400 I mean, it is Easter. Thank you. 557 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:52,560 Yes, we are risen. OK, so I'll leave that there. 558 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,680 I'm just going to go up quickly through the chat. 559 00:36:56,360 --> 00:37:00,760 So I see Kay is talking about the Artemis 2 space mission 560 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,560 being live. Yeah, the first space mission, I 561 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:07,480 think, with a woman astronaut. I saw a transmission the other 562 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,640 day, one of the astronauts just talking about the gift that it 563 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,920 is to live on planet Earth and how we really need to take care 564 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,800 of this gift. C says they're in a depression 565 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:18,800 slump. Last week, they sat with it and 566 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,680 felt part of the deep pool of depression was the gift of 567 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,200 refusal. Yeah, yeah. 568 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,880 This feeling of just like the Depression, the actual word is 569 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,360 to push you into the ground, right? 570 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,960 And then when you're pushed into the ground, the opportunity is 571 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:37,520 to bury something, to sacrifice something, make it sacred, give 572 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:43,320 it back, divest in economies of war, invest in economies of 573 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,760 life. O says what you're talking about 574 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,880 reminds me of the Seed of Pentacles card you pulled, how 575 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,960 the face had its eyes covered and how we sometimes can't see 576 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,680 the change, but there are other senses that can help us feel the 577 00:37:55,680 --> 00:38:00,040 changes. Yes, X says let's all send love 578 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,600 to the Michigan and Anashinabe lands on April 11th. 579 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,360 Statewide protests against the data centers that are stealing 580 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:11,200 all the water, A says. It's been so frustrating trying 581 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,600 to express my feelings to a place that feels satiating to 582 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:18,120 those asking and receiving it. I'm so sick of talking about how 583 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,400 I feel. Totally. 584 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:25,800 Let's stop talking about it and feel it and let the feelings and 585 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,080 the consciousness and the embodiment of feelings be the 586 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,800 transformation, A says. They tried to bury us. 587 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,200 They didn't know we were seeds. Yes. 588 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:35,720 OK. So that's the practice we're 589 00:38:35,720 --> 00:38:37,560 going to work with. They tried to bury us. 590 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,880 They didn't know we were seeds. OK. 591 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,560 All right. Well, let's dance together 592 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:47,240 through this week. And we are connected across time 593 00:38:47,240 --> 00:38:49,640 and space. Hope to see you next week. 594 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:51,120 Bye for now.
