AstroCast: Why get an Astrology Reading?

March 18, 2022 06:23 - 39 minutes - 36.6 MB

In this episode, I explore this question, “Why would anyone want to get an Astrology reading at all?” I think the simple answer is curiosity. Curiosity about the future, curiosity about the past, curiosity about the mystical, esoteric and etherial parts of life. Is this curiosity driven by something deeper in the unconscious? Something akin to consciousness evolution not just within an individual but within the collective.    TimeStamps:   00:00 min Introduction  01:50 min The future dir...

Existential Crisis

January 09, 2022 08:41 - 42 minutes - 39.1 MB

Post a period of being benched by the Universe   I experienced what some would call an existential crisis. In this episode, I get cozy and personal about what happened to me. Then I tried and answer questions that I had, like, what is an existential crisis? Where does the idea of existentialism come from? What else can cause an existential crisis? Then, I explored what could be done to overcome this period. Ultimately, I hope you enjoy it and find it valuable to you.

Feel your feelings, don't run from them 2. Write down ...
