The Sun Square Uranus: The Myth of Wholeness

[@lesliewade9658]

Adam & Ashley for president!

[@7655kitten]

As Jung said "It's better to be whole than to be good" embrace and love all of your parts. Practicing Qigong and studying Taoism has helped me with accepting myself completely we are always in a state of flux, but we will (as the universe does) come back to balance 💜☯️🌌 I love the episodes with Ashley ❤

[@minniemaloney3092]

So happy to hear that the IFS work is getting some recognition! I am currently in a small women's group and this is the work we are doing. Discovering parts, learning about them, asking what they need from self. Being able to recognize when we are not in self and actually in a part.i love how astrology blends with the IFS work! I've been in therapy on and off throughout my life and this seems to be the ticket! NO BAD PARTS I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I love Ashley's knowledge on plants and herbs too! Very insightful! Thank you for sharing this!!!

[@emilytatomer7889]

This was great, thank you. I’m reminded of a reel that’s going around social media of Brene Brown talking about marriage never being “50/50”, that sometimes you are at 20% and so your partner needs to come with 80%. Or sometimes combined you don’t have 100%, so you need to both be willing to acknowledge that your relationship is running at less than 100%, and know when to have and give grace etc… this feels related to what Ashley was saying about physiologically balance equals death. It’s all about the “flow” as she said. Really thought provoking discussion. 🙏

[@ScienceLover853]

I use to talk loud sometimes and do not notice it (priviledge of living alone!). Those "characters" discuss various topics sometimes. And recently I downloaded Voice to Text recorder and left if on by mistake for all day. In the end of the day I had full page of words spoken by those "characters" transcribed into text on the App😂 it was amazing to really discover what mind does when nobody listens😂😂😂 3:38

[@mindbodysoleil]

So grateful for y’all! Algorithm gratitude post

[@hedywatrous188]

I LOVE LOVE that you are promoting Ashley and her page! 👍🙌

[@angiewittenberg1901]

Had to pause the video. High synchronicity point for me that you are reading this book. I just started the audio book recently, after searching all over the internet for an interesting new book. I’d never heard of it, or the author, or the concept… but I was so excited about it that I called my mom to tell her about it.. she was like, “??? That sounds really deep.” 😂 looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

[@Lucky_Forages_88]

Ashley When you described the psychedelic experience in the very beginning I got the goosebumps and was buzzing. It also made me feel emotional because you put it so eloquently and I resonated so deeply with that description. Wow. “This is a full house” 💚🌿🌻

[@lilstars5599]

I can't begin to tell you both how timely and important this has been for me and my little one. Thank you 💜

[@susanna7125]

There was something very fresh and relieving in this episode and I listened to it twice.

[@ChamillahDesigns]

WOW...mind blowing moment here when you think cosmically in terms of all humans on the planet are just fractals or fractured parts of the divine God head. So there are no bad parts and as we pull fractured fractals aspects of our own psyche in a welcoming compassionate way so can we also learn to accept, understand and be compassionate towards all beings living on the planet regardless of what they think or have done because we all come from the same divine God head. AND... WOW you guys just gave me NEW meaning behind my natal Sun in Libra that seeks balance and is in its fall which is conjunct Uranus in my chart. Thank You! I appreciate, respect and value your content greatly! ♎💚♒💜 Kinda reminds me of communication between two air signs or heart chakra and the crown chakra!

[@overflow888]

One of my favorite authors, Samael Aun Weor, wrote extensively about the "mulitiplicity of the 'I'". Once during meditation i had a vision of my ego. It appeared as a choir of characters in various costumes. Each had a short monologue in the spotlight, then they all sang together "whooo the f*** are youuu?" Lol. Anyway great video

[@leamari23]

Appreciate all that you both share with us! Such a beautiful, wholesome couple! ❤️❤️❤️

[@lauracivitello4242]

I am thrilled with this level of examination. The harmonious and active relationship of one's inner family you describe is the basis of the ancient and current Hawaiian system of health. I am a longtime resident of Maui, and you see what has happened here. The illumination that Sun/Uranus moves us toward community, both internal and external, could not be more appropriate and it is vital information that took me beyond my previous knowledge. My Sun sits at 23 degrees of Leo, by the way.

[@brendapappas8433]

Hi Adam and Ashley🌹 I am in Greece since August 1 with my children🥰I have missed some classes but will be catching up when I return in a few weeks! This was a perfect lovely time to check in 🇬🇷love your podcasts❤️

[@erinmacro345]

So profound, so sensible. Sharing with friends. Thank you both! ❤❤

[@amandam8871]

Loved this talk!! The monoculture vs polyculture analogy was great! Will be adding the book No Bad Parts to my list. The advice that I often hear, "You are not your thoughts" has always been a helpful reminder to not be so hard on myself when those thoughts I'm not proud of take over. (I have Saturn square Mercury too, haha) After listening to this talk, I'm guessing the better way of thinking about it is that those thoughts are just a part of me. Funnily, I recently started reading The Master and His Emissary by Iain McGilchrist, and just yesterday I highlighted a passage that is making me think of your point about the balance myth: "that the brain is, in one sense, a system of opponent processors. In other words, it contains mutually opposed elements whose contrary influence make possible finely calibrated responses to complex situations." Both this passage, and your point about balance make me think of the Temperance card, with the image of the angel pouring liquid from one cup to another, as if the angel is always fine tuning, or adjusting the right amounts for each situation.

[@jadebastet1624]

I love this. Thank you! I’ve always felt that the little pieces inside of me like to war with each other. Through the course of my astrology journey, I’ve recognized that I have several planets in both my first and fourth houses. That angularity makes both places quite loud and at odds with each other in that square. I’m learning that it’s necessary to honor both and I usually call that finding a balance, but really it is more about finding a flow. They don’t need to meet in the middle, they just both need their own space and time to fully shine.

[@elizabethbolen1267]

Fantastic talk, thank you so much Adam and Ashley!

[@lorenacarreira6251]

Thank you both, such a healing and profound talk! Love from the land of Oz

[@TerrarianLibrarian]

Internal Itty Bitty Shitty Committee 😂 but seriously this helps so much!

[@gratefulmusichealthylife]

Thank you so much Adam and Ashley for bringing more attention to the wonders of IFS! 🌟 It has been life changing to get to know these parts and become closer to the Self after some years now of sessions and study of it...Highly recommend it for everyone💙 (Also recommend the IFS book on unattached burdens/exiles "The Others Within Us")

[@Higherevolutions]

“Some of the inmates were running the prison” Hilarious 😂 But earlier this year I had Uranus oppose my sun and mercury and this statement sums up some of the experiences I noticed the “self” was drawn to. Nataly I’m a sun conjunct Uranus person (not that close in degree, but still strong enough to feel. Uranus transits are so fascinating! Thanks to you both! 🙏🏿 Can’t wait to read this book!

[@susand4255]

I loved this discussion - a truly original and insightful collaboration!

[@nickyt-grey]

Parts work saved me. I carried developmental trauma and so much grief and shame (carried in different ways by different parts) and many protector parts working in different ways. IFS and a spiritual teacher I worked with who understood how parts work (separate from IFS) were huge for me. Learning to understand why they're all functioning and how to hear them, hold them, carry them, tend to them was life changing - all started by transiting Uranus opposite my natal moon. I feel more "whole" after all this work, still parts, but living more from the "self" now and able to not abandon the parts when they're present. Like wholeness means all parts are welcome. It feels paradoxical.

[@thebeenu]

Love this! Thank you... for the wisdom... the sharing... and the modelling of wholesome relating and relationship... beautiful 💘

[@renapoole7742]

Hey u 2. I didn’t realize that your wife was on lol but this was absolutely so helpful. I needed all of this and understood this message very well. Thank u both so very much. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@iseemyselfinthesparrow1312]

Wow this was such a beautiful and insightful discussion 🌌 thank you 🌸

[@gastonmarian7261]

Interesting synchronicity, there's a Dungeons and Dragons actualplay anthology series called Dimension 20, and this week they released the first episode of the latest season, which is called Mentopolis. The setting is a cross between Pixar's Inside Out and Noir detective. Seems like parts work is crawling out of the subconscious through art, the archetype is ready to be presented

[@kimberlyespinosa8028]

Very interesting talk. I am an Aquarius moon and feel I’m always searching for things to be aligned with a higher form. I met someone 9 years ago who to me embodied this form of a love connection. It’s been a long and intense journey and the connection is dissolving in a new way as of two days ago. I feel myself grappling with how what to me is this ultimate bond is not holding together in the material world. I am a Leo sun so it seems Uranus is squaring my sun. I am trying to process that many things can be true at once-the love is real but it doesn’t have to last forever in the way I want although the love will exist forever. It’s been a form of ego death and I went through something like this with this person 8 years ago during the last Venus retrograde. #grabbed

[@remykiehn-lindsey5908]

I love you bringing IFS into your work you two! For many years I did Astrodrama, having people intuitively act out the planets in an individuals chart. It was often very surprising what realizations people had. I think of the planets as another way to look at parts.

[@caseygannon8467]

Very nice stuff! To hear that, in your birth chart, you have Mercury squaring Saturn and Jupiter helps me understand you so much better. Astrology is amazing like that!

[@erikabautista6960]

So nice! Really self acceptance

[@jasonwiley9343]

Very enlightening thank you very much

[@theplayofsunandshadow7062]

This episode was godsend. No Bad Parts gave me some much needed perspective on some inmates that were running the prison😂Thanks🙏

[@bridgetkorns8174]

Great show guys. Thank you.

[@donniemchone]

wow lol it is better to have a full house up there. The timing of Adam speaking about psychedelics letting him realize sometimes the inmates were running the prison I was considering sharing or not sharing my thoughts in agreeance reflecting back when I was 19 in '91 in solitary confinement for classification into prison and of the 10 months I"d already done being moved 20 different times at three different facilities those days (19 I believe ironically) allowed for my head to become quiet and the only voices I heard where mine and I remember laughing thinking how solitary confinement was supposed to drive people crazy and I figure it must have been the people who only had one voice in their head because for me it was wonderful 😊 lol I was also completely away I couldn't tell anyone or especially the prison psychologist who had to put something and everyone's file before they were released into general population about this 😂 as always many thanks to yall all for the exceptional content 🙏

[@donniemchone]

I'm really blown away with everything being shared and how much of it is aligning with things I've only been able to articulate over the past several days but have been realizing and thinking about for several weeks if not months. this is so good I can't wait to go back and listen again

[@alexdabear]

I love seeing couples work together too (sun conj venus in aries/6th house)

[@gme5400]

Yes, balance, at least in my life, feels like a myth. The herbs help though 🌱💚. Nice talk. The both of you❤

[@vickie_hearne]

Very insightful!!

[@fourhemispheres2734]

Yay! So much great content 😊

[@Rosivrodrigues]

The book The Women Who Run With The Wolves talks about this subject beautifully that the psyche is composed of many different aspects. In the book she emphasizes a lot about the female pysche, but when i was reading it was clear that at some level these aspects are generic of the human psyche. After reading the book and becoming familiar of these different aspects in myself, I started to dream a lot and identify these aspects manifesting in my dreams.

[@daniellebrook3333]

Thank you to you both, this has been really helpful to me 😎💐

[@danabaldacchino]

😊❤😅 Great...with the price of food going up... I imagined myself soon taking the cats, mouse offerings they bring home.......for my plate! Now ill be fighting them over the catnip also..😅😂😅😂😅😂

[@lunabee89]

The Irish potato famine, for example.The documentary called The Botany Of Desire. Was, for me, very illuminating! Biodiversity!

[@goddamtinternet]

Yea so it was more a matter of foodstuff and live animals being consistently shipped out of Ireland under armed protection .. less an issue of monoculture than simply good old exploitation of local resource by colonial interests.. of course they did give the Irish the potato so perhaps it was a fair trade.. but certainly it wasn't a famine but a rather a form of genocide.

[@martineK919]

You are a great couple !

[@rebeccaknighten4519]

My natal sun, natal Uranus, and Leo are all in my first house!!!!! Wonder how significant this might be during this upcoming transit?

[@Crabbug2014]

Ty so much for helping me and u two are so adorable and i love listening to u guys together so funny. U mean like when they take ur hormones away!! Lol Ive never ever had any mushrooms or other drugs I’m afraid cause told never ever as a eighth houser

[@MiauxCatterie]

integration, not assimilation. ooh, im constantly seeing my life as an attempt to find balance within the ever changing flow. this talk is good. I often hear Ashley's words "tend the living things first" run through my head.

[@thrinedemol]

I’m very familiar with the many voices in my mind and heart. I got to know them through NLP and through mindfulness/meditation (vipassana). Listening to those parts of us neutrally, and giving them a safe place to exist and progress is essential for the mental health. Sometimes voices don’t agree with each other. They are called ‘polarities’ in NLP. The idea is to listen to them separately, then ask each of them if they heard what the other said :) I also ike to look at planets and transits as little friend of my inner world coming to deliver a message (or needing to have a debate about how to get along with each other :)

[@martianmoongdds]

Amazing 🙏🏼❤️

Great talk!!❤ Try on the word homogenize

[@myronweckwerth7020]

Oneness can represent the interconnectivity of all things, both positive and negative. The idea of positive and negative is relative.

[@mina-l4z]

yes. over 800 years ago, RUMI said: Beloved, these 2000 I's of mine--who am I?

[@heathersmith5662]

I ❤ that you’ve put together IFS and Psychedelics!!!! I teach IFS Informed Psychedelic Assisted Therapy to therapists, coaches, guides - anyone Curious to learn the model. It’s such a profoundly healing way of working. Find me at The Moxie School!!! ❤

[@goddamtinternet]

Slavoj zizek says that love is the celebration of imbalance.. the exclusionary or divisive claim to say that I love you and not all others..

[@danyellerobinson5940]

Indigenous people have always known this. Observe, accept, let go . At the same time, I think you've missed the point of balance. On the Red Road, we learn that flow is found in living a life that balances mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. It's not about perfection, it is about healing the spirit and following your heart.

[@Adam-Elenbaas]

I like the way you framed balance here...love it!

[@donniemchone]

I definitely think the energy that is in everything is a constant. to call this energy God is fine as long as we accept that it is the same in all of us as if if we had 9 billion different versions of of ourself living physical experiences through a physical body but animated by our energy. I think people get lost when they try to deny or escape the physical interactions with this world. pleasure and pain and finding the balance is important but denying the body neglects the mind

[@ransdellremediation]

Brilliant!!!! Itty bitty shifty shitty committee! 😂😂 love that, Ashley!! So so good. I'm creating mine and listening to the audible No Bad Parts.... so good! Waiting g on the spiral book to work with my selves 😊❤ I love Adam & Ashley duo!!

[@evawarren3258]

There a season...turn and turn

[@telekatron]

yay!

[@donniemchone]

I think we see this truth that trying to achieve something by denying the body is the opposite of what we do when we take psychedelics. psychedelics help us to have a more physical experience and it is this enhanced physical experience that broadens our mind. denying the body simply denies the mind and makes one feel like conforming and suffering to neglect the body is a pathway to enlightenment when in truth it is only to satisfy the ego of whomever is telling them these things while also telling them they have no ego lol attachment to spiritual identity is also ego and it's sad they're told neglecting their bodies will help them level up their mind and when you level up there for now better than you were and better than others when in truth this is just more ego

Integration - In Yoga integration is literally yoking together. Integration is also a crucial part of Jungian Psychology. it has nothing to do with blending. it is NOT a monomyth, a distortion of integration... The author is focusing on a distortion of integration. There's NOTHING Whole about the distortion of integration or wholeness...

[@Swiminatub]

I just wish there was different terminology. “Parts” is very specific to DID disassociative identity disorder and it is a VERY big difference between what you guys are talking about with regards to “don’t you have inner conflict” etc. I knew someone with DID and it is kind of upsetting to use these same terms. “IFS parts are metaphors. not dissociated self states. When someone refers to an IFS firefighter suppressing exiles, they’re talking about the part of them that uses negative coping mechanisms to distract from painful emotions. Alters in DID/OSDD-1 are dissociated parts that cannot fully share information between them. They may be amnesiac to each others’ actions and may have well developed senses of identity, skills, preferences, or opinions. Alters can exist to hold specialized functions that are not isolated in healthy individuals, e.g. to speak to family or do chores.“
