This video is so Aquarius 😂 The way you’re describing it in the beginning. It’s like you’re saying “I’m not telling you HOW to think, I’m telling you TO think”. I love it. 😊
Love hillman and especially the souls code. What I found empowering in it was the fact that I'm not 'broken' but have a destiny which includes trauma it bought a distance between experience and self which helped to look objectively knowing it was 'written in the stars' and therefore 'useful' to growth. I find astrology has the same focus.
This is bonkers good. As I write this, waiting for a therapy session to start. Had dealt with my father's suicide in 2004, but never considered his first attempt in 1972 when I was 9, that nested in amongst two other traumas thanks to an unhelpful, unsupportive mother. All of this has come tumbling in over the past couple weeks and really levelled me, or I should say, validated the struggle I'm in. Keen on the analysis helping, but/and also firmly believe Hillman's acorn theory; everything makes us who we are. I am super keen on cracking through what's holding me back-this is part of my acorn too. Everything is acorn! My jaw dropped when you were talking about this childhood trauma subject. Grateful!
Wow, you never cease to blow my mind! This helped me change my perspective from “wounding leads us to our healing” to “wounding leads us to our destiny”. Pretty radical shift.
This is crazy! I had hot chocolate late in the evening yesterday and the sugar kept me up most of the night. I was thinking of this concept in my life and I could see, details of how the wounds of my soul during childhood were necessary. God showed me that he encouraged the people who upset me to do and say what they did for me to take the path I needed to - for growth, experiencing the difficulties of life, and embracing, loving, and healing the darknesses - making me ‘whole’. We need the yin and yang to fully know love and loving our darkness is holy. Great thoughts ❤
#4 makes me think about how art classes are underfunded in public schools. I have a growing passion as an emerging new art teacher (earning my credentials now) for utilizing recyclable materials for art curriculum, engaging students in the activism of saving our environment while making beautiful art out of unexpected “stuff”.
THIS is WHY I watch your channel! To be mentally stimulated into alternative ways of thinking and finding meaning. Thank you! I'm going to start reading/listening to The Souls Code that's been sitting on my desk for a year, today! ❤
This was the most useful half hour video - chock full of concepts and ideas and so much to learn from… consider…I’ll have to save it and refer back to it. I was taking notes… but had to stop and just listen. Outstanding content.. very thought provoking.. which is what you were going for. Thank you!
Aquarius rising here. I have to stop the video to comment on your first point. My father was killed when I was 4 years old. My life has been shaped by that event. BUT it was only after I shifted from a therapy paradigm (the endless rehashing of my past) to a life coaching paradigm (focused on my future) that I turned my “trauma” into fertilizer, thereby enriching my path.
Hi Adam, I think you’re spot-on with the psychological split happening between therapized healing and actionable understanding. I’m reading The Soul’s Code for the first time, and I think page 111 has something truly insightful, especially as we grapple with this Covid-separated and estranged community we call humanity.
I only found healing when I found gratitude for my trauma and how it shaped me, how it enabled me to protect my children and how to help and have compassion for others who have experienced the same trauma. Finding compassion for those who hurt me was also a great help. Realize they were struggling with PTSD and mental health issues. I’m here to break the cycle.
Great meditation. I was briefly reminded of the poem by Rumi, “Inner Wakefulness” as translated by Coleman Barks, that reads, in part: “This place is a dream Only a sleeper considers it real Then death comes like dawn And you wake up laughing At what you thought was your grief.”
You are so right on. I’m diving deep into paradigm shifting- it all boils down to perception. We are moving toward multimodal and multiplicity of consciousness, rather than reductionism.
Happy Pluto ingress day. Stellar presentation, Adam. We will require every minute of this Pluto cycle to evolve into being able grasp whatever paradigm shift we are introduced to. Let the festivities begin! Thank you.
That was amazing! I want/need to enroll in your course. That talk was informative but also thought provoking. It was like food for my brain. Thank you.
Fantastic ❤ Thank you. I’ve been wondering why so much of the commentary out there about Pluto entering Aquarius hasn’t included paradigm changes re: what it means to be human and the nature of consciousness. Your potential big questions were so affirming for me as Pluto enters my 9th House and opposes a packed 3rd House.
I have always believed the first line of thought was my truth. I have lived my whole 60+ years as a candidate for some kind of "survivor" group. I have tried to go to these meetings, but I never felt a victim of anything. It just happened to me. It is in the past. I only carry pain over the idea that I may have hurt others in the past.
'Change not growth' reminds me of the 'Inner World, Outer World' documentary. I don't remember exactly which part as they are 4 in total, but it's worth watching.
#grabbed I’m a practicing Speech Therapist that works with students who have a variety of developmental disorders. I just completed an amazing training discussing two different ways children develop language: one being more linear (Analytical language processor which is how most of us develop language), and the other being more holistic where kids learn language in larger chunks (Gestalt language processors). It completely changed my view on how some of my students learn language and is shifting how I support them in therapy. Very exciting and hopeful stuff!
#grabbed Pluto into Aquarius in my fourth house of home/family/etc.... Early morning after Pluto just entered Aquarius: I'm house-sitting for my sister and I wake up early to watch the sunrise over the mountains out the eastern windows. I'm feeling this inspired energy listening to good music and looking at this beautiful scene. There is a feeling of hopefulness I haven't felt in a while. Maybe Pluto in Aquarius will bring good things, even if they are indeed intense, powerful and transformative. After watching the sun come up over the mountains, I decide to take a shower... but I left some of my clean clothes in my car out in the driveway. It's a freezing cold January morning in the Northeast but I am just going to step outside for a quick second to grab my clothes out of the car, so I don't even bother to put on a jacket or grab my phone or anything. I run out to my car but upon returning to the front door I am suddenly VERY unpleasantly surprised to discover that my sister's front door apparently can be opened from the inside while remaining locked from the outside. I'M LOCKED OUT! My phone is still playing music on the speaker inside the house. I can't call anyone. The dog is sitting there waiting for me to come back in. I'm searching everywhere around the outside of the house for some kind of spare key. Nothing. Shit. I'm freezing my ass off! It's 9 degrees F and I have only a thin layer on. Well, things could have been worse. Luckily, I did have my car keys and my parent's house was not toooo far away. I still don't have my coat or my phone. I'm literally in my pajamas... but luckily all I have to do is drive over to my parents house on the other side of town to use their phone. My sister is out of town but I call her in-laws who happen to have a spare key! PHEW! They are able to unlock the door and meanwhile my parents serve me up some bacon and eggs. This wasn't so bad afterall. What is this all about? Perhaps something symbolic (or literal) about crises of home and family that turn out to not be so bad in the end? Maybe I am getting a little warning to make sure I have things I need (survival basics like a jacket, or better awareness and mindfulness), before leaving the boundaries of home and comfort? Perhaps it means there are ways to successfully problem-solve and navigate the crises of the coming era? Relying on the help of others? Discovering that within the crisis there are also little blessings (like unexpected warm breakfast served up for me on the other side of town where I was not expecting to be this morning?) Ha! I don't know. I'm not sure how any of this relates to the archetypes of aquarius but perhaps there is something here for me to consider....? I've house-sat here many times and this has never happened any other time. Lol
Yes to all of these! To me, the two paradigms from Point 1 are both true. It's a both/and scenario. We chose these situations (generally, not necessarily every little last detail) like designing a traumatic birth or inability to connect to a mother as an infant, so that we would stay connected longer to Spirit. Where normally we may bond better with our mother and begin to put more attention on the comforts of earth life instead of staying focused on the spiritual realm. Some of us were trained as counselors in the spiritual realm and chose parents that would teach us a lot about how to heal and how to have compassion for those who have been through it. BUT also, it is definitely going on and quite obvious when you've been around so many people with complex PTSD that of course our childhood affects our adulthood negatively until we finally get the healing we need. I use the term negatively to mean - ongoing attraction of toxic people and situations, and struggles with emotional and personality disorders - depression, extreme anxiety, narcissism, stuckness, even health issues. Yes the health issues can transform you, but ultimately you want to heal so you can move on to different life experiences. Ultimately it's finding the balance between doing the self-care and inner work to heal while also recognizing our wholeness and perfection right now, not at some point in the future, but right now.
I see the life paradigm as neither scripted nor completely un. It's more like improv. We get the characters, setting, circumstances, influences, but we still have to show up and DO the scene. It's both/and. I like astrology because it's integral in nature, combining verifiable data with relational archetypal qualities, energies and themes. It's both/and.
This is so spot on! Ive been working with integrated plant medicine therapy to work through trauma. I can 100% understand the paradigm stuff you are explaining. I appreciate you so much Adam! 🙏❤ #ScorpioRising #PlutoInThe4thHouse
man, really love & resonate with the ideas you talk about on topic 1. I'm exmormon & have been a seeker through paradigm changes & have found fluidity in its nature. you bring to words concepts I've found & wanted to try and convey & I appreciate it. I really do believe it's worth attention & effort for collective healing/therapy (as a crucial step for redefining societal stability)
lil' Context~ I am a Pluto 1st House person & know by personal experience Pluto's Transformations are ultimately for the better, even if it's a bumpy, even hellish ride
Wonderfully rich ideas to explore! For #1 Idea, I can see that the 'healing trauma' paradigm is an essential part for our wholeness and growth and can absolutely be 'inclusive' with the paradigm of Hillman's acorn theory. I don't see it as an either-or proposition, but rather an expanded and inclusive paradigm shift...both the 'healing' and the 'understanding' can be profoundly supportive and needed in re-establishing wholeness and expanding awareness. There is a beautiful Japanese Art Healing practice called - Kintsugi - (Glueing back together a broken pottery bowl and painting gold along the cracks) that represents how we re-join the pieces of ourselves through healing our trauma to create something in ourselves that is even stronger and more beautiful!
I loved the turning ideas on their heads in this one, Adam. The stick has two ends and the solutions come from thinking about the other end! Ash as a glass cleaner for instance.
Really enjoyed this. A different paradigm is just a different paradigm and they are just patterns that produce other reactions. It’s all apart of the grander pattern.
Oh YEAH I really LOVE that last one #5, now that is a RADICAL mind shift that I hope can happen for the collective on earth. That itself could be perceived in a positive way or negative way for some or could be perceived in a neutral way as in I AM, WE JUST ARE infinite beings that are already perfect, that everything is ok and happening in perfect universal order. 💖 I am in a group where we discuss this. 💖💫 😃 Good stuff!!!
I agree with the example you offer in #1. As an infant, I was exposed to toxic chemical contamination for the first two years of my life (I lived on Camp Lejeune Base, if any of you are familiar with that scandal). As an adult, with no knowledge of why I was so sick all the time or the connection of my infancy wit chemical exposure - I became a passionate eco-activist and permaculture designer. Most recently, as I dive into the discipline of Human Design and Richard Rudd's, The Gene Keys, I've discovered that my Genetic profile includes the entire "Codon Ring of Gaia" (which is rare) - which compels to feel deeply into the synergy of the natural world and feel called to defend it. There is a soul-yearning correlation between chemical exposure in infancy and deep empathy with nature as an adult that arose through me in a manner beyond my conscious choosing.
Yes… I’m so glad we are moving into soul oath destinies and experiences instead of the hashing out our childhood as our primary reason… and then it blames parents! Lots is non abusive parents have had children that struggled… which is why I have learned this from other sources… Souls code … sounds fun. Yes a paradigm shift along with an “ERA” Shift. Future self … causing the childhood self… yes… all is valid… yet times “change”… paradigms shift ! This gives me hope.. maybe now u can start again… helping people all on a soul level… rather than logic… spiritual openings. CHOICE… for all is Freedom! Allowing everyone to follow their own path!! Yes!!
I saw that with the wood stove..problem though..and from over 40 year's running wood stoves..this method although affective...scratches the glass....use..bon ami...true stroy
They ALL make sense to me…. And I am so glad I am now IN the Aquarian Energy and mire people … especially the younger generations that are struggling… because they KNOW this NEW EARTH!!! 🌍 ❤
Thank you for this deep thought provoking talk today! I love you way of thinking a d encouraging us to also think deeply. The "what ifs" are intriguing and exciting paths to adventure. Wow!
So I am a Mercury in Aquarius and I do feel my future self called forth the trauma of my past, when I tell people this they tell me “ poor you for thinking that way to cope “ - it’s really gross to me 😂. I love the way I think. I love the ways I’ve healed. I appreciate who I am and who I’ve been. I appreciate the suffering, the abuse, trauma for what it gave me and taught me. It doesn’t mean it was “ deserved “ but it means I’ve made peace with it and accept it as apart of my journey… yet so many people shame me and belittle me over that. It makes me insane.
My Jupiter is in Aquarius so this entire video is right up my alley! Thanks again Adam for such a wonderful thought provoking video. Btw I pronounce “Tarot” exactly as you do…both ways it’s however it comes out my mouth that day and I sell them for a living, lol. Thanks again for all of your amazing content you share 🌈
I signed up for his 12 month class because this guy is on a whole different level. 'm just a beginner. In the future, history will be looking back at him as our time's philosopher. I don't understand much of what he's saying yet and I'm okay smart. It's some other worldly thing, ijs. He that hath an ear, let him hear.
Adam, I felt super downloaded by this. In the last question "Change not growth"you def had a shift in energy, at least from where I sat. The paradigm piece was so thought provoking. I can still see the image of the mandala and "my future , destine self," I totally relate to that . Seeing oneself almost multidimensional , as though we exist in the present on all phases of our life. Causality/acausality- "divination is the way we speak to the universe".. This is exactly why I got your book through the kickstarter. I concur !! .I was having a conversation with a friend today about Pluto-Aquarius( he does'nt t speak astrology)- and so I gave him a story using images, scenarios and examples of how the collective may view their shifts in their belief system. You were so eloquent, and clear with this teaching today. I listened twice to make sure I got the download completed. So grateful to be in your year 1 class and already signed up through the kick starter for year 2. I'm totally in it. Blessings.
I'll take the bypass. I like this and it does help me to be okay as an adult. Acceptance has lead me to heal. Thanks for your channel and information sharing. ❤
Thank you for going deep. I needed this. I'm having a hard time understanding how pluto in Aquarius in the third house would affect my life. My whole chart has changed...as has my life in the last year. I find myself seeking deeper meanings. Already by looking at my imprint on life I can see a slow burn toward trying to make sense of it all on more than one level. The third house pluto is asking me to communicate more deeply. Not in a safe mode that I have acquired, but taking a chance. I have been writing and illustrating children's books for the last five years and the themes have been simple, few words, visually centered. This new book that I am working on last more than 10,000 words that attempts to ground the reader in the beauty of nature while teaching children to love the rules found in science. I am amazed at what is coming through... this journey through Pluto will certainly force us to go where no human has gone before.
Wonderful reflections. The Aquarian theme of ancient-is-modern comes through in many of the ideas you shared. That's an Aquarian gift - the radical nature of getting back to the root and articulating those radical ideas in language of the times. Maybe that's what lineage is all about - at least from an Aquarian perspective. Speaking of perspectives and the image of a participatory psychedelic multiverse - reminds me of another undervalued Aquarian insight - holarchy. Everything - that is every single thing - is a whole and a part. The structure of life is holarchial. Not hierarchial - which is more the Capricornian side of Saturn. Holarchy is the Aquarian side of Saturn. It's not relativism - as you may have been implying. It's more nuanced. Kind of like co-present ultimacy . . . if that makes sense. Oh, and I while appreciate your pointing to the talk on the Pluto through the houses, I wouldn't say it was more "practical". 😍Just differently practical.
This connects to No. 1 the most: I'm an Aquarius Sun / Rising and create 'art out of time'... Soul meditation mandalas that I call STAR Soul Lights because they are based on the astrology chart (the STARs) of a moment in time, the mandalas are painted aspects using Pythagorean colour attributions... I 'birthed' this in 2020 and it has been evolving ever since, I am now on v1.3 painting the planetary dimensions of the soul (e. g. My Plutonic soul) and feel the time is nigh for my heartwork (after 3 solid years 'plugging away at it') to be 'seen', accepted and most crucially, used, in the World... #grabbed
I totally have believed this in my experience. That solutions are inherent in the space that holds the problem. Will listen again, Adam as there are many of your thoughts presented here that deserve some pondering. You are really moving along today! Me too. Into Sun opposite Sun today and its flipping me over.
#5 Heart Sutra! Om gaté gaté, para gaté, para sum gaté, Bohdisvaha! Gone gone, gone beyond gone, gone completely gone! No birth, old age, sickness or death, blessed one!💡🙏🏻💡
Great talk. People need to know that paradigms are only constructs that we use as a way of living. Ayurveda is a very different paradigm than biochemical medicine. Both are valuable and they can be used successfully individually or they can be used together. The important thing is to know they just different paradigms that shape the way we see the world and interact with it.
The acorn n the tree: In a reading one looks at the whole chart n the person. But I would start looking, LOL, for the roots of the acorn on the 1st house. Esoteric astrology seems to look strongly at the 2st house, but that does not discount psychological and Evolutionary astrology. Absolutely love this video❤.
Thanks! Pluto moves into Aquarius today into tomorrow in the tropical zodiac. If you're using a sidereal zodiac, you are right, Pluto is not in Aquarius. If you're a zodiacal fundamentalist who believes only one zodiac is valid, then, consider the radical idea (like today's talk!) that different zodiacs are about different paradigms rather than one being objectively true and another false!
@@Adam-Elenbaas I am not a fundamentalist, I believe we can chameleon between the placements especially where are birth charts are concerned. The transits have a different language, something I have not entire come to terms with. And the difference is so great in the case of outer planets, it is hard for me reconcile. I am constantly checking both to reinforce my reality. There are several other markers that funnily cause similar ripples in our continuum aside at the time of the tropical change, and I don't know enough to tie it together. As you have said before it is not a science and I am happy in the ephermal.
The answer is contained in the problem is a version of the law of similars. For example, the liver is made of liver cells, liver molecules, subatomic plasma , down to liver consciousness. Homeopathy takes advantage of that, treating say a snake bite, at the plasma level with snake bite venom diluted to that level.
Interesting. I feel like, as a person who has been steeped in yoga, I have always looked at things the acorn/daimon way, which served me well up to a point. But recently a series of events prompted by physical pain has led me to EMDR therapy in which I have been going back to core memories and sort of rewriting them…and it has felt really groundbreaking. I wonder if I’m changing who I am supposed to be or if this too was part of my future self plan. 🤔
This video is so Aquarius 😂 The way you’re describing it in the beginning. It’s like you’re saying “I’m not telling you HOW to think, I’m telling you TO think”. I love it. 😊
Love hillman and especially the souls code.

're childhood trauma..Pluto entering my 4th so this is very rich food for thought. Thank you, Adam🙏

“This place is a dream
Only a sleeper considers it real

I just love your mind Adam, you stir such deep contemplation. I really appreciate your insights.
You are so right on. I’m diving deep into paradigm shifting- it all boils down to perception. We are moving toward multimodal and multiplicity of consciousness, rather than reductionism.

The segment of change is not growth gave me Bhagavad Gita vibes and Krishna tell Arjuna you are an everlasting soul.

Wonderfully rich ideas to explore! For #1 Idea, I can see that the 'healing trauma' paradigm is an essential part for our wholeness and growth and can absolutely be 'inclusive' with the paradigm of Hillman's acorn theory. I don't see it as an either-or proposition, but rather an expanded and inclusive paradigm shift...both the 'healing' and the 'understanding' can be profoundly supportive and needed in re-establishing wholeness and expanding awareness. There is a beautiful Japanese Art Healing practice called - Kintsugi - (Glueing back together a broken pottery bowl and painting gold along the cracks) that represents how we re-join the pieces of ourselves through healing our trauma to create something in ourselves that is even stronger and more beautiful!
I loved the turning ideas on their heads in this one, Adam. The stick has two ends and the solutions come from thinking about the other end! Ash as a glass cleaner for instance.
Really enjoyed this. A different paradigm is just a different paradigm and they are just patterns that produce other reactions. It’s all apart of the grander pattern.
Yeayyyy Adam. Good for you! You’d probably be surprised how many of us are with you on these ideas. 👍👍👍👍
Oh YEAH I really LOVE that last one #5, now that is a RADICAL mind shift that I hope can happen for the collective on earth. That itself could be perceived in a positive way or negative way for some or could be perceived in a neutral way as in I AM, WE JUST ARE infinite beings that are already perfect, that everything is ok and happening in perfect universal order. 💖 I am in a group where we discuss this. 💖💫 😃 Good stuff!!!
I agree with the example you offer in #1. As an infant, I was exposed to toxic chemical contamination for the first two years of my life (I lived on Camp Lejeune Base, if any of you are familiar with that scandal). As an adult, with no knowledge of why I was so sick all the time or the connection of my infancy wit chemical exposure - I became a passionate eco-activist and permaculture designer.
Most recently, as I dive into the discipline of Human Design and Richard Rudd's, The Gene Keys, I've discovered that my Genetic profile includes the entire "Codon Ring of Gaia" (which is rare) - which compels to feel deeply into the synergy of the natural world and feel called to defend it.
There is a soul-yearning correlation between chemical exposure in infancy and deep empathy with nature as an adult that arose through me in a manner beyond my conscious choosing.
I'm putting this video in my private playlist called "Adams best". Thank you for being alive
There will be an exploration and acceptance of the field … tapping in and leveraging its power.
I feel such a shift having Pluto entering Aquarius in my First house ✨
Yes you got it, the body heals itself just as the earth heals itself
Yes… I’m so glad we are moving into soul oath destinies and experiences instead of the hashing out our childhood as our primary reason… and then it blames parents!
Lots is non abusive parents have had children that struggled… which is why I have learned this from other sources… Souls code … sounds fun.
Yes a paradigm shift along with an “ERA” Shift.
Future self … causing the childhood self… yes… all is valid… yet times “change”… paradigms shift !
This gives me hope.. maybe now u can start again… helping people all on a soul level… rather than logic… spiritual openings.
CHOICE… for all is Freedom!
Allowing everyone to follow their own path!!
Yes!!
My Aquarius Sun in the 3rd house is here for every word of this 🪩👽✨
I saw that with the wood stove..problem though..and from over 40 year's running wood stoves..this method although affective...scratches the glass....use..bon ami...true stroy
They ALL make sense to me…. And I am so glad I am now IN the Aquarian Energy and mire people … especially the younger generations that are struggling… because they KNOW this NEW EARTH!!! 🌍 ❤
Thank you for this deep thought provoking talk today! I love you way of thinking a d encouraging us to also think deeply. The "what ifs" are intriguing and exciting paths to adventure. Wow!
I'm here for all of it...every single idea.
So I am a Mercury in Aquarius and I do feel my future self called forth the trauma of my past, when I tell people this they tell me “ poor you for thinking that way to cope “ - it’s really gross to me 😂. I love the way I think. I love the ways I’ve healed. I appreciate who I am and who I’ve been. I appreciate the suffering, the abuse, trauma for what it gave me and taught me. It doesn’t mean it was “ deserved “ but it means I’ve made peace with it and accept it as apart of my journey… yet so many people shame me and belittle me over that. It makes me insane.
My Jupiter is in Aquarius so this entire video is right up my alley! Thanks again Adam for such a wonderful thought provoking video. Btw I pronounce “Tarot” exactly as you do…both ways it’s however it comes out my mouth that day and I sell them for a living, lol. Thanks again for all of your amazing content you share 🌈
I signed up for his 12 month class because this guy is on a whole different level. 'm just a beginner. In the future, history will be looking back at him as our time's philosopher. I don't understand much of what he's saying yet and I'm okay smart. It's some other worldly thing, ijs. He that hath an ear, let him hear.
Adam, I felt super downloaded by this. In the last question "Change not growth"you def had a shift in energy, at least from where I sat. The paradigm piece was so thought provoking. I can still see the image of the mandala and "my future , destine self," I totally relate to that . Seeing oneself almost multidimensional , as though we exist in the present on all phases of our life. Causality/acausality- "divination is the way we speak to the universe".. This is exactly why I got your book through the kickstarter. I concur !! .I was having a conversation with a friend today about Pluto-Aquarius( he does'nt t speak astrology)- and so I gave him a story using images, scenarios and examples of how the collective may view their shifts in their belief system. You were so eloquent, and clear with this teaching today. I listened twice to make sure I got the download completed. So grateful to be in your year 1 class and already signed up through the kick starter for year 2. I'm totally in it. Blessings.
These are wonderful ideas to contemplate and to spark conversation within the spiritual community. Thank you Adam.
Interesting thoughts, well articulated. Blessings 🙏🏽
I'll take the bypass. I like this and it does help me to be okay as an adult. Acceptance has lead me to heal.
Thanks for your channel and information sharing. ❤
Wow! This is one of your best. Love, Sun and chart ruler (Mercury) in Aquarius.
Yay Thankyou Adam Radical Awakenings lighting up our future selves
Thank you for going deep. I needed this. I'm having a hard time understanding how pluto in Aquarius in the third house would affect my life. My whole chart has changed...as has my life in the last year. I find myself seeking deeper meanings. Already by looking at my imprint on life I can see a slow burn toward trying to make sense of it all on more than one level. The third house pluto is asking me to communicate more deeply. Not in a safe mode that I have acquired, but taking a chance. I have been writing and illustrating children's books for the last five years and the themes have been simple, few words, visually centered. This new book that I am working on last more than 10,000 words that attempts to ground the reader in the beauty of nature while teaching children to love the rules found in science. I am amazed at what is coming through... this journey through Pluto will certainly force us to go where no human has gone before.
You can actually think. So refreshing ❤
Wonderful reflections. The Aquarian theme of ancient-is-modern comes through in many of the ideas you shared. That's an Aquarian gift - the radical nature of getting back to the root and articulating those radical ideas in language of the times. Maybe that's what lineage is all about - at least from an Aquarian perspective. Speaking of perspectives and the image of a participatory psychedelic multiverse - reminds me of another undervalued Aquarian insight - holarchy. Everything - that is every single thing - is a whole and a part. The structure of life is holarchial. Not hierarchial - which is more the Capricornian side of Saturn. Holarchy is the Aquarian side of Saturn. It's not relativism - as you may have been implying. It's more nuanced. Kind of like co-present ultimacy . . . if that makes sense. Oh, and I while appreciate your pointing to the talk on the Pluto through the houses, I wouldn't say it was more "practical". 😍Just differently practical.
This is very compelling. Thanks for sharing ✨
This connects to No. 1 the most: I'm an Aquarius Sun / Rising and create 'art out of time'... Soul meditation mandalas that I call STAR Soul Lights because they are based on the astrology chart (the STARs) of a moment in time, the mandalas are painted aspects using Pythagorean colour attributions... I 'birthed' this in 2020 and it has been evolving ever since, I am now on v1.3 painting the planetary dimensions of the soul (e. g. My Plutonic soul) and feel the time is nigh for my heartwork (after 3 solid years 'plugging away at it') to be 'seen', accepted and most crucially, used, in the World... #grabbed
You are so good! Thank you so much! May The Force Be With You And Your Family! So It Is!❤
I totally have believed this in my experience. That solutions are inherent in the space that holds the problem. Will listen again, Adam as there are many of your thoughts presented here that deserve some pondering. You are really moving along today!
Me too. Into Sun opposite Sun today and its flipping me over.
Excellent topics of discussion! Got a lot out of this video. Thank you!!
Pluto bringing his riches , this is beautifully rich Adam. Makes me feel that my oddball mars in Aquarius will relish this transit. 😅
Love this!:) Thanks for expressing these ideas.
#5 Heart Sutra! Om gaté gaté, para gaté, para sum gaté, Bohdisvaha! Gone gone, gone beyond gone, gone completely gone! No birth, old age, sickness or death, blessed one!💡🙏🏻💡
Fantastic Fungi - yes, this explains point #4 so well! Taking these thoughts with me on my travels tomorrow. Thank you so much, Adam.
Whole video's great. Thanks Adam
Great talk. People need to know that paradigms are only constructs that we use as a way of living. Ayurveda is a very different paradigm than biochemical medicine. Both are valuable and they can be used successfully individually or they can be used together. The important thing is to know they just different paradigms that shape the way we see the world and interact with it.
Pluto conjuct my progressed ♒️ rising I enjoyed this 😊
The acorn n the tree: In a reading one looks at the whole chart n the person. But I would start looking, LOL, for the roots of the acorn on the 1st house.
Esoteric astrology seems to look strongly at the 2st house, but that does not discount psychological and Evolutionary astrology. Absolutely love this video❤.
One of my favorite videos that you've done!
Wonderfully provocative ❤
Deeply appreciate the work that goes behind this.
Pluto is not in Aquarius, but sure, will keep it in my pocket for the future.
Thanks! Pluto moves into Aquarius today into tomorrow in the tropical zodiac. If you're using a sidereal zodiac, you are right, Pluto is not in Aquarius. If you're a zodiacal fundamentalist who believes only one zodiac is valid, then, consider the radical idea (like today's talk!) that different zodiacs are about different paradigms rather than one being objectively true and another false!
@@Adam-Elenbaas Well said, brother!
@@Adam-Elenbaas
I am not a fundamentalist, I believe we can chameleon between the placements especially where are birth charts are concerned.
The transits have a different language, something I have not entire come to terms with. And the difference is so great in the case of outer planets, it is hard for me reconcile. I am constantly checking both to reinforce my reality.
There are several other markers that funnily cause similar ripples in our continuum aside at the time of the tropical change, and I don't know enough to tie it together.
As you have said before it is not a science and I am happy in the ephermal.
I love these ideas! Thanks so much for sharing them. Very inspiring!
❤❤❤ loved this sharing. THIS gets me excited in happy ways. Breathe deep!!!😊
#4 is a Permaculture principle, usually stated as: The Problem is the Solution. Plenty of material to deep dive into that one.
I really enjoyed this one Adam. Thank you.
This is a great list! Thank-you
I’m right there with you, man.
Absolutely perfect especially 5 x
Wow! You are an Astrological Therapist Adam!!! Your perspectives are deeply moving and they cause one to really think. Very Grateful. 🙏🎯 💯
Thank you, Adam!
#1 and #5 brought a big sigh of relief to me😊❤.
Choices in worlds and which serves to further evolve you through your human experience
One of my favorite videos so far 💜 🙌✨️
So powerful. thank you!
I'm reading "the soul's code" at the moment 😱🥰
Thanks - Love ur content ❤
Excellent
The answer is contained in the problem is a version of the law of similars. For example, the liver is made of liver cells, liver molecules, subatomic plasma , down to liver consciousness. Homeopathy takes advantage of that, treating say a snake bite, at the plasma level with snake bite venom diluted to that level.
29:33 to 30:00 is so powerful 💪🔥❤️
Thank You Adam ☀️🌙✨️!!!
Very powerful Adam!! A 5 course meal of things to really chew on!
Btw, love your coffee mug. Where did you get it?
I like the fifth idea.
Interesting. I feel like, as a person who has been steeped in yoga, I have always looked at things the acorn/daimon way, which served me well up to a point. But recently a series of events prompted by physical pain has led me to EMDR therapy in which I have been going back to core memories and sort of rewriting them…and it has felt really groundbreaking. I wonder if I’m changing who I am supposed to be or if this too was part of my future self plan. 🤔
The bro accent at 31:46 😆
My friend sent me that Dawson's Creek Soot Video! "The cure is in the disease!" ❤
Evoked for me Spinoza's modes and dare I say it the second thesis
Wow! Thanks! That was stretchy! 😅
✨🌈✨💖✨💫✨
