#96 - Jonathan Hammond - The Shaman's Mind - Huna Wisdom to Change Your Life - The Essence of Magic - All Power Come From WithinTap into the Shaman's Mind with me and discover a hidden truth—the realm of the Gods. Jonathan Hammond is the author of The Shaman's Mind: Huna Wisdom to Change Your Life. He is a spiritual teacher, and in this chapter of TAP, we speak about such a relevant and transformative perspective on the nature of life, to put it like that. It is about our connection to nature and the nature of who we really are. It is about healing our divisions, changing the limiting material in the unconscious mind, ancient ways, and the understanding that we are all connected (unity consciousness). Her are some of the points we engage in: • There is not one path • We undervalue the power of our mind because we can enter into different realities • Everything is alive and has personhood (animism) • Choice is a magical power • Hoʻoponopono • The problem is lighting the way like a directional energy • Memorized patterns that are antithetical to our growth • The inner child left alone to do the work of accessing magic • Imagine a reality and give it legitimacy • The problem is that we bail! • Trauma is life blindsiding us • Destabilizing us into something we have not yet experienced (Pluto?) • In the astrology section, we speak of Pluto in Virgo in the 12th house, and I hear that symbolism when Jonathan speaks of service, the feeling of "should"/duty (Virgo), and toxicity being exposed (Pluto) publicly, as well as Jonathan feeling his work is somehow about to reach more people (12th house of the public) • Nature is self-interested yet gives to all • Indigenous mind that holds both self and collective awareness as we co-evolve • Gaia is always moving toward evolution • Befriend urges—desires that are part of our soul purpose • To work on behalf of Self • The idea of humans having dominion over the earth • Separation from nature versus the shamanic mind of relationship with the natural world • Mind virus • The earth evolving to become aware of itself • Earth beings in an interdependent world • The importance of cooperation • Our intrinsic power • Mana • No one can override your felt sense and truth • The three ways of power and why not to send the power up • To not care what other people think • Our individual essence needs expression, so do not betray that! • Nature only wants to be itself • Collectively, the nodes are stationed at 27 degrees of Virgo-Pisces, ready for eclipses. In Evolutionary Astrology, the lunar nodes represent our soul's evolutionary path, so what service is drawing you in? • A sick culture exposing itself • Using your gifts as a lightworker to usher in this special time • The Age of Aquarius—we are right at the beginning of it, which is why we are so polarized • Spirituality, trauma healing, neurodivergence, and non-binary identities in the public eye • To not fit within the old consensus paradigm • The new leadership • To get out from under the oppression • Know you are that!

#94 - Matthew David Segall - Minding Time in an Archetypal Cosmos - Visions of the Future - Footnotes to PlatoI am so glad to meet with Matthew David Segall, whose podcast's name refers to this quote from Whitehead: “The safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato.” Matt is a philosopher, and if you start to follow his work on Substack, podcast, or newsletters, you will realize he is very productive and helpful in elevating our perspective. Aquarius yes. In this interview, we begin by discussing his article on time, but it is soon disrupted, as we are recording on a Gemini Moon, leading us in different directions. Particularly, this is because I, Mannah, cannot hold back with interpretations of Matt's archetypes in his birth chart. Tap in as we speak about: -Being sensitive to the texture of time -Astrology as an important source of orientation -A more cosmologically grounded civilization -The nature of time Psycho-technology -No moment is the same, yet the calendar repeats every year -Time as mysterious -Time as based on planetary movements rather than the artificial clock -An Aquarian outlook -How we can't keep becoming bigger, better, and faster -Learning how to live more simply, yet fulfilling -When making the machine more efficient is the priority -The need to downsize/degrowth -On the verge of collapse Ideas generated from friction -How new technologies can be set up to extract wealth -The eighth house (transformation because of facing our limitations) & Cancer (integration emotionally) rising—interpretations from my heart -Cancer also being about internal rhythms, the past/history and well-developed imagination I feel this natural and warm energy is with us in this interview - at the expense of some of my deeper questions perhsps, because Matt quickly mentions teh 3 gods I wanted to talk about, but his cancer energy has the intended effect on me - I mean I think it is cancers intention for others to be themselves- and I end up forgetting to interview, and just sharing and being curios from a very personal place - One part of me (Mannah) recognizes Matt's work in the world almost as its own soul fulfillment. As I felt that - what I call my soul recognizing itself - and I examined myself, it seemed like a past life thing, because in this life it is surely not my destiny to be a philosopher in that sense, where most of my time is spend in social work these days.. There is a grief, it seems, not from who I call "I", but from one part of me, who used to walk the path of a pilgrim or philosopher - a past life memory. There could be many other explanations for that deep surging fire or that internal burning that Matt Segalls work is sparking in me (this is meant in a very positive sense) -could it be - like he speaks about in the end with the series Severance- that the cage of the material structures is just not enough and tapping into footnotes2plato is just like discovering the depth of ones own spirit, As though looking from the trivial routine-cage, which is somehow also needed for parts of us (the earthy part), glimpsing philosophy's way of making connections into deep, reflective understanding through dialoging just works like a magnet when you have a quest for meaning that also needs satisfaction. However, to me, it seems like a very real past-life attraction too! - Why astrology and therapy are a good idea to combine if you want to be truly seen in a very dynamic way, as ever evolving into your higher potential -What Matt Segall cares about these days and how knowing contrast leads to a deeper understanding -Bringing science and spirituality together without losing what’s good about them separately -Corrupt governance showing us a need for the old system to come to an end -The concern about repeating history -Rudolf Steiner as a philosopher to bring in during these times and his 3 main spheres -The cultural life - Plutonian quality to expose truth I am so glad that Matthew David Segall & Footnotes2Plato exists — If you get something out of this conversation, you may want to see the links to continue on with: LINKS Matt did a beautiful recording of the article we talk about here: https://youtu.be/Dm8vZ83MUSw You can read the article here: https://footnotes2plato.com/2015/05/15/minding-time-chronos-kairos-and-aion-in-an-archetypal-cosmos/ Other links; https://footnotes2plato.com/ https://footnotes2plato.substack.com/ https://www.youtube.com/user/0ThouArtThat0 Mannah: https://www.therapeuticastrologer.com/
