Laughing at that whole analogy 🤣 but it's so spot on though. One of the reasons I love Terrence McKenna is that he's always expressing that too. You never hear the slightest sense of superiority in his voice despite the profound (and insane in the best way) revelations he doles out. But he's all "I'm seeing some freaky shit guys, are you seeing them too? It can't be just me??" It's all just sharing the experience with the whole and there's no place for superiority. Skill-related hierarchy, yes, but that's kind of essential. We need experts and it makes sense to give them higher authority over laymen in their own fields. But definitely not superiority.

The problem with perfection is that the definition of what is perfect is always changing, it's not only unsustainable but unachievable. And whose idea or model of perfection are we striving for? Humans are flawed and will mAke mistakes, it's taken me along time to come to terms with that.

Your number 4 mantra reminds me of Thomas Merton’s prayer. (Edited to add the prayer) “My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always, though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.”

Adam, I love how this discussion is a perfect follow-on to yesterday’s! As a person who was born when mars was in Aquarius and directly opposite Pluto in Leo both squared the sun, I could relate to and see in myself and life all 5 of your guideposts! All of these traits can be considered fairly manageable on their own but it’s the addition of the compulsive/ obsessive nature that plutonic energy brings that amps things up to potentially destabilizing/destructive levels. Excellent observations and reminders! As someone once told me; the problem with riding around on a high horse is you’ve a lot further to fall when you do…and you will! Loving how these last two talks fit together. Thank you for creating all this rich content!!! A feast indeed! ❤

Thank you much for the wisdom as always!! ☺️ Definitely felt these as Saturn was making it's journey through Aquarius, I'm really intrigued by how Pluto will show us similar themes! A couple of my own reflections: •While we all have gifts and flaws, is it not a beautiful experience to open our hearts to other people's gifts and flaws just as much as our own? That's one question that's helped me on some level with the same struggle mentioned in #1 •There's much to be said about loving ourselves and each other in the here and now and still working towards something, believing in the people were becoming. But if we lose sight of the unshakeable value where we are and who we are now, we lose something beautiful indeed and are selling ourselves short. •Its kinda freeing to just be like, I don't know, I'm just here, I don't have all the answers for myself or others, but hey look isn't life beautiful? Just such a huge weight off the shoulders

"Do what thou wilt' is to bid Stars to shine, Vines to bear grapes, water to seek its level; man is the only being in Nature that has striven to set himself at odds with himself." -Aleister Crowley Part of the Thelemic Mass of the Phoenix says "Save me from evil and from good." The Thelemic path is meant to pull away the illusions striving for perfection and also the notion of self degradation. But instead to come in contact with the self beneath those waves and to there find the true daemonic will. Summoning angels and devils to peel back the world and find the individual beneath. To come to self not just as the inner point but as the outward boundless circle, Hadit and Nuit. This talk echoed a lot with that for me.

I think Pluto is in fall in Aquarius. I've read that Pluto is exalted in Leo, based on this statement: "Pluto is considered exalted or in a very strong position in Leo since both the planet and the sign are representative of great power and energy and ability to withstand challenge but to ultimately endure. This was the energy needed to withstand the horrors unleashed by a world war and the corresponding cold war period that followed." So, yeah. Since that is the case with Pluto in Leo, that means the opposite will be true with Pluto in Aquarius. Leo associates with leaders in power. Yet Aquarius on the contrary associates with the people. That means when Pluto transits Aquarius, it can be anticipated that leaders in power will have a very hard time controlling the masses. Think of the Revolutionaries vs Marie Antoinette, during the last time Pluto entered Aquarius? Generally Pluto in Air sign periods, tend to be times where a low trust in Authority is very high. But with Pluto being in fall in Aquarius, the lack of trust in authority will show like a sore thumb. Leaders (Leo) need the power (Pluto) to influence and inspire people, along with withstanding and enduring the horrors of conflict. Yet, if masses of humanity (Aquarius) were strongly against those in power (Pluto), then all hell breaks lose. Imagine masses of people having power over Authorities? Pluto in Aquarius will very likely show us just that. Also, when Pluto makes an opposition to Uranus in the 2040's, the masses of people will face the monarchies head on. Pluto Exalted in Leo www.astrologyyard.com/pluto/pluto-in-leo.php

Outer planets do not have dignity... modern attempts to assign them dignities are deeply misguided because they aren't rooted in any understanding of how the original dignities were conceptualized, so we have to ignore these kinds of assignments. It's best that people who are interested in dignities study ancient astrology so they can learn what dignities actually are and how they work, which will immediately help people understand why you can't just slap a dignity on the modern planets.

Perhaps it’s time for you to address those comments differently now that you are physically demonstrating your masculinity on video?

Definitely not into perfectionism or thinking im better than anyone. But the experience and trauma is due to the path taken by being excluded from the community. They have never been open to my interpretation of experience or what they can't see. And have actively obstructed and overburdened and continue to do so. The path isn't cleared and it's against the flow. And heavy and confusing and the opportunities and liberties are snatched away. By the time there's something substantial to set me apart it'll be more like a hospital stay in a fortress with provisions for protection and prevention. It doesn't make sense for those who don't like or trust or agree with or want to help or hear about to also prevent progress and harvest, claim, colonize . Intolerance is inevitable and the end result. The hierarchy is trying to build on top of my sideways nature. I want very much a peaceful and loving reciprocal existence. I wish i knew what to say or what the difference between us was so i know where I stand or what im trying to reason with.
