Karma, Enlightenment, and the Beliefs of Ancient Astrologers

In this talk, I discuss a year's worth of research into the philosophical and spiritual roots of astrology in both the east and the west. This talk is also a longer version of the talk I presented at the NORWAC astrology conference in Seattle, in May of 2019.

Timeless teaching from a Teacher preserving Ageless Wisdom. Blessings be upon you and your lineage. Thank you.

[@lisaroeck6181]

This was a HUGE blessing on information, time energy etc. to all of us. I don't quite know anyone else who has done this. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@dcdawny]

So appreciated.... thank you Adam. Your commitment is a candle.

[@kathydaehn8592]

This reminded me of the Hermetica. It was obvious that you did a ton of research for this talk. Thank you for allowing us to hear it.

you're probably not reading comments on this older post BUT I prefer to state my confirmations as they occur. I followed this during the COVID19 lockdown so I had plenty of time and could afford to contemplate the nuances. I love your astrology because I am also PK who has moved on through different religious practices and their philosophical principles. First after Christianity was the non-theist practice of Buddhism. when I finally entered into Islam almost 50 years ago--the place not only where I am home but also which became my professional motivation (I am currently a retired Full Professor of Islamic [Religious] Studies)--it took me a little while to find my current spiritual teacher with practices of (muraqabat which is) meditation. My last name is the attribute of God that means Loving which is the God my father, the preacher, raised me with. ALL of my practices have come to synch and then I got re-interested in astrology. As an established Islamic studies public intellectual and globally recognized "leader" I try not to make small the coherence I see in this renewed interest whenever someone asks how I reconcile it with Islam. This eclectic summation of eastern and western religio-philosophical roots have given me a new found confidence that what most people know about the deep and rich intellectual history of the human journey through faith prevents them from seeing the harmony between the various traditions. I wish there was a transcript of this. Such an amazing summation. Keep up the good work

Nothing new under the sun, individuality brings different spiritual outlooks on our dualist material reality; i've accepted to see the importance of a spiritual practice thanks to your talks🙏🔥💚

[@theophany78]

I love astrology and learning eastern vs western has always intimidated me. Thank you for keeping it easy to understand. 😊

Thank you, you are the best!

"when people aren't immediately dismisive or rude, pretend like I don't exist or they just want to avoid the topic" that's so relevant !!!

[@michellecorbesier]

This is incredibly interesting. I want to thank you for sharing this with us. You did a wonderful job in extrapolating the essentials from a vast treasure of ancient and universal knowledge from the East and West. I also love the personal touch. This is gold!

[@7655kitten]

Lots to think about and digest, thank you 🙏💜🕉☯️

[@iBuyHousesFastOhio]

Amazing stuff! I actually can't believe how I ended up on your video at the perfect moment in time!!!!!!!

[@christinehall7194]

Thank you for the information and enlightenment...I bet you did very well at the conference...These were thoughts and questions ive had for some time to myself...

[@TheMovingfuture]

So interesting thank for all your knowledge fantastic staff.

[@armchairastrologer1858]

Incredibly grateful to have been led to your channel. Thank you for the care you take in making these teachings so accessible and understandable for the lay person, such as myself. You have the best astrological content, by far. Also, I really dig the faith statements.

[@GoldenTimeline711]

Very interesting presentation! It resonates with my spirit and is great food for contemplation. The hilarious movie Groundhog Day is a humorous case study on the mundane cycle of everyday life. Thank you🌞

[@debradiffendal1352]

Thank you so much Adam! This is truly a gift that is greatly appreciated.

[@janetleepondelli8263]

[@scarywolfie1212]

Thanks!

[@lissalye]

So helpful and illuminating. Wonderfully synchronous with what is coming up for me on my life journey at present. I’m very grateful for the research, thoughts and teachings you share, thank you.

[@colleenmichel3143]

What a good teacher you are

[@sheriesehenderson5655]

Thank you for sharing your wisdom.And I enjoy listening and learning. I purchased a notebook to write down all this knowledge. And. I have saved the videos . You are gifted.

[@nicolekeane981]

Fascinating conversation. Thank you

[@romalibre376]

Thoroughly enjoyed all research Adam! It was a lot to take in, but you translated all the ideas very well! And I agree, the next phase is for modern astrologers (especially evolutionary astrologers) to integrate a spiritual practice with astrology.

[@LisaStandiford]

I thoroughly enjoyed that! Thanks so much, what a gift of knowledge Namaste

[@pairikas]

HI! THIS IS MY FIRST video from you. Thanks for your sharing. Really interesting. I appreciate all the details provided. I subscribe ans will now have a look at your Playlist.

[@lauragearhart4928]

This is like a high caliber university credit course...for free! Thank you. I am such a fan of historical religion plus astrology?? Cant beat it. Although some of my favorite classes were taught by professors who argued against astrology. In particular my world history and astronomy professors but that was 15 years ago. I'd be interested to know if their perceptions towards astrology have changed.

I have a Scorpio Stellium and all of this applies to me. Death of my twin and everyone important in my life ever since including my son at 27 whose stellium was in Scorpio in the 12th. Psychic since born. Work in the healing arts. Have always talked to the dead. They contact me to contact people. I've died 3 times and come back here. Although I was born in USA I grew up where my stellium was in my 8th, but came back to the USA for the majority of my life. So the deaths are more in the place where my stellium is in the 5th. Sexual abuse since a small child. I've sold everything and shaved my head 4 times now. People tell me they tell me things they've never dreamed of telling anyone. Frankly I feel like nothing anyone could say could surprise me. Most of my dreams are premonitions.

Cyclical time as a function of “Quaternity” in relation to the 4 elements... Sounds like divine transmission of archetypes, describing how quantum mechanics demonstrates changing form. Something eternal that leaves evidence as enmeshed matter through how we experience physical impermanence.

[@sheriesehenderson5655]

I know I came across you at the proper time.

[@DJSTOEK]

❤❤❤❤

[@user-dl3oc7sb5s]

Honestly, I think that you are good... 😃 😉 🤗 ❤

[@christinebecker6574]

I think it would be great if we could create a symbol for astrologers in "hiding", much like the fish for Christians. An icon can be a powerful force and help people join in with their faith and beliefs, even if they are feeling alienated. You know, beacons towards safe harbors...

The idea of the husk keeping us entombed until we're qualified to hatch, is not unlike the idea of a mothers love, keeping us incubated within the egg (womb) until we're ready to rebirth ourselves a second time... But it is we that have to do the work of cracking that egg, Mother Shakti will only make cracks when she deems us ready, and not the heavy lifting required to become ready for the event.
