Are you willing to experience life with a “versatile mind” and with less “literal-mindedness? Literal Mindedness vs Versatile Mind Making someone better is the best gift you can give them, you and humanity! The best teachers work through stories, parables, metaphors and analogies. Those with the disease of literal mindedness do not want to be told that there are multiple interpretations, do not want to be told that they will just have to decide for themselves. They want to be told what the facts are. But this is just a refusal to learn to evaluate. The fact is that the facts are always changing. Thursday, May 9 Venus pokes above the eastern horizon about an hour before sunrise. The brilliant planet dominates the predawn sky as the rosy glow heralding the Sun’s arrival grows brighter. Venus shines at magnitude –3.8, more than three times brighter than the second-brightest planet, Jupiter. When viewed through a telescope, the inner world shows a disk that spans 11″ and appears 90 percent lit. The way to get by has always been to develop our perceptions, our judgements, our intuitions, and to expect to be wrong from time to time; while there may be factual landmarks on the hard ground of limited experience, out on the ocean of real life what counts is to know how to navigate. Literal-mindedness resides in recalling facts or traditions and evaluating which are the most appropriate to any situation. True, this is a part of using the mind, but there is much more. What distinguishes us from chimpanzees is that complex but precise melange of thinking, feeling, evaluating, willing, fantasizing, visualizing and other more subtle functions. The obvious solution is to require everyone in the world to study the process of using their brains. Only when a student is certified by a committee of clearly superior individuals can he be licensed to marry, attend church, watch television, or perform any other activity that can be considered difficult or dangerous. Obviously, the literal-minded among the powers that be would never allow so fanciful a solution to become reality. And thank heavens for that, because complex systems are never successfully imposed; rather, they evolve. And the materials already exist out of which this complex cure for literal-mindedness can arise. They are waiting in the medicine cabinets of our minds like so many bottles of pills. Or perhaps I should say like potted herbs growing in our kitchen windows, since their gentle operation has none of the harsh side effects of pills and since various mixtures of these same cerebral herbs can serve as preventatives as well as cures. “Are you able to seek guidance from the stars and tap into your deeper intuitive knowing so you can navigate the realms of life that are more fluid and less solid? While studying astrology I have applied it to concrete cases many times. …The experiment is most suggestive to a versatile mind, unreliable in the hands of the unimaginative, and dangerous in the hands of a fool, as those intuitive methods always are. If intelligently used the experiment is useful in cases where it is a matter of an opaque structure. It often provides surprising insights. The most definite limit of the experiment is lack of intelligence and literal-mindedness of the observer.” ~ Carl Jung After much study, Carl Jung concluded that in order to reap the benefit of astrology it was so important to have a versatile mind… a mind that is open and receptive to the unknown and ephemeral. Join me with your open mind as I share how to minimize your bias and know your stars. I care about you having a great life because I know Oneness! We also want a thriving Earth, a just world, and for you to discover and embody the “Miraculous Adult” that you are! you’ll hear life topics next week that will help you know the time-tested practices of astrology. You’ll learn how to accept change as the Great Wheel of Life turns astrology art and spiritual adventure. Ariel Goodman Venus star rising and the geometry of astrology the mathematical geometry behind the logic of the astrology Venus in particular as a planet the sequence of with which it rotates around in its in its orbit creates a mathematical precision that is used in almost every form of art love to have you tell us a little bit more about that okay well we’re for that it fascinated me too yeah okay so the five pointed star of Venus is equivalent to a nautilus shell to a lot of seashells but let’s say the knot of it yeah yeah and everybody will recognize the nautilus shell because it’s it’s an iconic image and just as venus is an iconic image you know the painting by Botticelli of Venus The Birth of Venus where she’s floating to the shore on a seashell so it’s interesting that the mythology of Venus from homer and hesiod. The Birth of Venus floating came floating to the shore on a shell and then Botticelli painted it and 1500 or something and then but the real truth of it is Venus is orbit which we didn’t really prove scientifically until probably the 19th or 20th century is that she actually that orbit of Venus and Earth is equivalent to the same frequency mathematically is if you were to break down the proportions or the ratio of a nautilus shell it is the same exact thing this is the mathematical precision. this is a a measurement right 1.6 right is the measurement right it’s one point six because the orbit of Venus to earth is one point six the orbit of Venus is 584 days Earth is 365 days and when you divide one by the other you come up with the one point six and there’s a lot of other one point six in the orbit around the star the five pointed star in eight years makes one point six the musical scale makes one point six which Venus is really a part of there are five or is it eight yeah five black keys and eight white keys on a musical scale there are all kinds of artists designers architects mathematicians creators etc that photographers that use they that what you’ve probably heard of is the golden mean the golden mean yeah the golden mean the golden ratio and the golden section are all the same it’s that 1. 6 measurement which we see in almost every form of art we see. The Golden ratio is a special number found by dividing a line into two parts so that the longer part divided by the smaller part is also equal to the whole length divided by the longer part. It is often symbolized using phi, after the 21st letter of the Greek alphabet. … Phi is usually rounded off to 1.618. It in nature as well we see it in pine cones we see it in Nautilus shells we see it in flower blossoms beehives beehives any number of things have this have this so this shows that there is a mathematical contingency mathematical connection logic to this same pattern right which is just amazing right really substantiates the fact that the universe really is a mathematical construct it’s the unfolding what I’ve come to see about it because this is what Venus and this earth dance is it’s the unfolding of organic life because the star itself is a fractal that reaches out and can create another star once it’s like one star attracts another and they hook up and then it attracts another and then another and it just keeps growing and growing and growing and it never ends and so it’s that it’s that attraction magnetism principle that’s present in it it’s the mating principle the life-giving principle each star point of Venus takes nine point two months from one to the next and that’s the human life the gestation development cycle so these things all connect and I find that to be fascinating and it’s they went Botticelli or any of these people were designed these famous buildings and these pieces are art they probably didn’t recognize that or didn’t maybe didn’t know that that was based on the Fibonacci sequence which is part of the what’s called what determines the golden sequence mm-hmm and the golden section but well they knew it was something they knew it was something cuz they didn’t rizal it maybe Fibonacci until Fibonacci came along and really I identified it but the Vitruvian Man was was an image that Leonardo da Vinci brought back that’s basically the way we look if we stand with their arms out and their legs out that’s cool yeah after the Truvia right it’s the same but you see in all those old architecture books exactly an art of da Vinci because the body the human body is all made out of fire ratio and that’s what Leonardo da Vinci was fascinated with the human body and so he would measure like the ratio between the hand and the whole arm are the this part of the arm to up to the social door between the lips and the to the whole forehead and I mean he had broke it down into so many different ways but it all came down to that point six or one point six which was this perfect harmony so the human being is actually a part of this five pointed star you know and what I love about it is that there’s this point time where these are all smaller components like you mentioned of the the arm the hand to the arm is a 1.6 I take the arm to the rest of the body its 1.6 so this is a formula that keeps recurring throughout all of nature and it’s tied to the the the transit and the cycle of Venus at the planet which is the planet that represents beauty and astrology right which is just fascinating it’s it’s a startlingly accurate right precise point that just if you don’t believe in astrology this will make you believe in astrology because the precision is so crisp you can’t deny it and then I realized it’s working with this five-pointed man or woman star Vitruvian figure venus figure now is that so we have our arms outstretched and we have our legs and we have our head but at the end of each of those is five fingers on each arm five toes on each leg and five senses so there’s again the fractal of the five and then more five and then who knows what else how that how that radiates out into into the universe it does speak to a master plan nothing yes right as if somebody is in charge here who has a master plan depending upon your persuasion in that regard but I find to be fascinating because it has such that great precision and you mentioned the word fie before pH I that is the Greek word or these are the Greek word for the golden mean or the golden ratio in the golden section so golden ratio golden mean golden section are all the same it’s all the just different words right but it refers to that one point six segments of the Fibonacci numbers right. The Golden Ratio, usually denoted by the Greek letter ? (phi), has the propensity of popping up where least expected, in a variety of natural phenomena and works of art. In its decimal representation, ? is equal to the never-repeating, never-ending number 1.6180339887… Where can such an irrational number show up in astronomy? First, it appears in an astronomical symbol. Most people use the pentagram — the five-pointed star (Figure 1) — as a symbol for a star (this reflects the twinkling of stars due to the Earth’s atmosphere). In the pentagram, in each one of the five side triangles, the ratio of the side to the base is precisely equal to ?. Second, when Plato wanted to discuss the cosmos as a whole in his celebrated Timaeus, he chose the dodecahedron (Figure 2) as the shape “which the god used for embroidering the constellations on the whole heaven.” The dodecahedron has the Golden Ratio written all over it. If you take a dodecahedron with an edge length of 1 unit, its volume is equal to 5?3/(6 – 2?) units. In a surprising turn of events, in 2003 a few cosmologists proposed that some observations of the “afterglow of creation” — the cosmic microwave background — could be explained if the universe is in fact finite, and shaped like a dodecahedron! It would have been truly amusing if Plato were right after all. However, more detailed analyses of the data indicate that the universe is infinite and geometrically flat. Another intriguing area of astronomy in which the Golden Ratio made an unexpected appearance is that of the extreme objects we call black holes. Black holes warp space in their vicinity so much that in Einstein’s classical General Relativity, nothing can escape from them, not even light. However, when quantum effects are brought into the picture, black holes can lose energy via a process known as Hawking radiation. Black holes are characterized by two physical properties, their mass and their angular momentum (a measure of how fast they are spinning). Spinning black holes (called Kerr black holes, after the New Zealander physicist Roy Kerr) can exist in two states: one in which they heat up when they lose energy (negative specific heat), and one in which they cool down (positive specific heat). They can also transition from one state into the other, in the same way that water can freeze to form ice. Believe it or not, but the transition takes place when the square of the black hole mass (in the appropriate units) is precisely equal to ? times the square of its spin! Finally, it turns out that the Golden Ratio happens to be optimal for the design of certain radio telescopes. The goal of such telescopes is to place radio antennas so as to uniformly sample the visibility plane, avoiding overlapping and redundancy. The fact that the Golden Ratio is ideal for this task has already been “discovered” by many plants in their leaf arrangement. The leaves along a twig of a plant tend to grow in positions that would optimize their exposure to the Sun, air, and rain. This is best achieved when the angle between successive leaves equals the “Golden Angle” of 137.5 degrees, which is 360o/? subtracted from a full circle. One can show mathematically that the Golden Angle allows for the most efficient filling of space without overlapping. Amazing, isn’t it, for one number to connect black holes to the telescopes that observe them? shows a powerful jet emanating from the center of a disk surrounding the supermassive black hole at the heart of the galaxy M87. why is a Greek letter yes but it’s also a Greek number we have a lot of words in English that have Phi in it but it’s also a number of value a mathematical value and it’s also I think in the Greek alphabet there are you know the the the letters of the Greek alphabet actually are not just letters they all have there there’s an energy frequency there their frequencies right they mean more than just have a harmonic quality right exactly and I think the Hebrew alphabet is like this too like if people that have studied the Kabbalah you know each of these letters that represent the different pathways or gates or portals or whatever our energy centers so there’s a lot of ancient knowledge that was already embedded in certain things that just in our modern times we’ve kind of let go and forgotten about but I think now we’re able to go back to looking at some of these things because we have the computer technology and the scientific abilities to study things in much more my new detail yeah actually huge difference and I think that when we recognize this we really get to that point where I mentioned earlier that there is a logic to all of this to the universe which is stunning because it just brings into play so much of explain so many things I think having that explanation I think it really gives me you know it gives me reason to live I think it’s very heartening to have that kind of knowledge out there I think it’s also why we love Venus so much because it is that it because that if that value really does speak to something called harmony a principle called harmony don’t don’t we all want to be harmonious that would be the goal yes I mean don’t we want to live in a harmonious world don’t we want to be peaceful in our lives don’t we want to feel like we’re in the flow absolutely it’s also that frequency is the frequency of synchronicity you know how you always say gee I can’t believe that happened I would just happen to be in the right place at the right time or was we called coincidence right incidences myth is really synchronicity it’s really synchronicity and synchronicity in a sort of a summing up phrase. Balance is being able when events occur that seem implausible or seem unlikely to have occurred because they’re like how did that happen right boom right right exactly and that is and Carl Jung did a great deal of work on that exactly yeah it’s kind of an intersection it’s an intersection of you at a certain point in time and space where you where you get to that intersection where that kind of thing happens but if you look again at that figure of the nautilus shell and that’s the Fibonacci sequence and maybe to explain that to your audience I mean a lot of people have heard of the Fibonacci sequence but they don’t really know what it is okay it was defined by a man named Fibonacci but what it’s based on is just a simple set of numbers you start with zero and you go to the next value which is 1 okay and then you add 0 and 1 together and you get 2 and you add 1 and 2 together you get 3 so you’re always looking behind you at the last number that you were just at and add yourself to that and you create the next number so then the sequence goes to 5 8 13 21 and then you plot those points on a yeah you start connecting right the same right and I think we have a graphic 5 8 13 21 34 so that’s the organic unfoldment. of this particular seashell but that’s the Fibonacci sequence and that has been identified with not only how nature works and how we grow as human beings and life cycles repeat and so’s and how we expand but the whole evolutionary plan is is that so we’re all spiraling out on that same seat right right exactly and so and and one of the things about astrology which I always find interesting is that is that we are always history does repeat itself we do have these cycles that recur and we see them recurring what happens is that they recur in a different place in time so it’s like a giant Helios or a corkscrew or an event will happen and then they’ll go around the the as time moves forward is going in a circular time motion like that events will reoccur not at the same place at the same time but not in the same place and when the place changes all the circumstances change so we can see this in history when they say history repeats itself this is what they’re referring to mm-hmm it does yes but I think the fascinating thing for me about discovering that sequence and connecting it to Venus was that again it synched me up in my life I like I like to follow the rhythm of Venus in my own life every 9.2 months it changes star points which means it’s it’s it’s usually going from a yen signed to a yang RA yen phase to a Yang and the so we’re it’s the heartbeat of the cosmos it’s really so being in sync with that like what element is it in what you know we go from Gemini more more recently we went from Gemini as an evening star to Aries as a morning star and then it’ll go to Capricorn and so many times it brings along the the attributes of that sign that’s right so if you’re in an area sign you’re being a very aggressive right well the whole world is kind of operating under that you know we have the planets operating all the time and everybody’s looking at the planets and what they’re doing on a day to day basis but in the background behind the planets we have this very slow-moving Venus clock that is just kind of ticking away a very slow slow mechanism that’s moving in the background and every now and then again principle of synchronicity it syncs up with where a planet is or was it a very important point in your own chart and it allows that feeling of wow I was in the right place at the right time to have these circumstances and that works in both good and bad you could say I suppose probably times that people wonder they’re in the wrong place at the wrong time yes exactly but I think being in tune with this and knowing where these points are in your life allows you to be more cognizant I think people have to be I’ve always found that if you’re more attuned to the possibility of synchronicity that they are more likely to occur I think that we are not always aware of sometimes in and and the types of events that can happen through synchronicity may appear to be minor but they actually are in plural larger meaning behind them mm-hmm don’t you think there seems to be I think that you have to be I have to have a little antenna up it says looking for synchronistic events mm-hmm and then when they occur they’re just yeah and then we want more it’s kind of like okay I liked that do that again hit me with that one again I mean it really is a fascinating if anybody’s ever had us and you’ll know what a synchronistic event is it is I always give the example supposing you’re at a party and you meet somebody they talk talking about a book or whatever you recommend you make a mental note of the book and then you disappear and you know you go across country to a different part of the world then somebody who you’ve never met before mentions the same book and you say bah that’s a synchronistic offense to different people I always think it has to be two extraneous sequences or events that come together boom to create the synchronistic event you pay attention that’s a very simplistic idea like my example rather very simplistic example but still it does give the idea of coincidence instances are good things to have happen or I I liked the rule of three with synchronicity you’re reading a book and this has happened to me a few times you’re reading I’m reading a passage in a book and the next day I find myself in a very almost playing out the same scene in my life that I just read about in the book the night before and then a third thing happens where I’m someplace else and somebody mentions oh my friend was telling me they were reading this book and it’s the same book you just read and that you just played out and now you’ve heard it a third time and then you have to wonder wait a minute. right yes and when they happen they are they are thrilling they are very thrilling right and that you think is also tied to the Fibranocci number and this sort of this sequence of events and times and it’s or that yes clock-like precision of these yeah and Davina Starr is attuned to that cycle yeah I don’t I know that people that work in the financial markets use the Fibonacci a sequence of numbers to because they have determined that the markets work that way because if organic well yeah if you know how to use it I mean if organic life works that way if we grow and expand. And if rivers flow in and Forests grow in and leaves on a tree and flowers unfold and bloom in that Phi ratio pattern or Fibonacci sequence and it really is organic life right. The more technical this world becomes, the more obsessed we become with our phones, our status, our money, the less we realize how great we really have it. The vast majority of people bitch and moan about things that don’t matter. The fact you’re alive, healthy, and able to work is literally a miracle. Do you realize what has to happen for you to be born, and the chances you came out as you? The odds of you being born as you are about 1 in 400 trillion, or more. Take a second and think about that, and put a smile on your face, you fucking miracle you… While we punch our desks for slow internet connection or a lousy hair day, let’s remember there are people out there that can’t eat, live under a bridge, die of disease, and will never know a life of prosperity. Every year you age, you get wiser, even if you don’t feel it, or see it. You might be 30 and still lost, you might be 22 and think your life sucks. You have a choice, literally, to choose to be happy. To choose positivity. The one thing you have control over is hustle. If you want it, hustle, get it. Whatever that “it” may be. Unfortunately, people aren’t grateful like they used to be. And if we could be more grateful, you naturally become happier, and even more grateful for things to come. You woke up this morning? Be happy. Smile and be grateful. A guy I look up to, Gary Vaynerchuk, talks often about regret. He says to go to a nursing home, and talk to folks in their 90s and look at the regret in their eyes. The wish that they had tried to start that business, to talk to their parents more, to laugh more, to spend more quality time with the people they love, to not sweat the small stuff, but to appreciate all you have, and even appreciate all you don’t have. When you see regret in a person’s eyes as death approaches, you see the realest version of pain. Regardless of how difficult a time you may be going through, realize someone out there is going through more. Regardless of how hard you work, realize someone is working harder to take if from you. Life is fucking beautiful, even when it isn’t. No matter the shit hand you’re dealt, find the silver lining. Find the avenue in that tumultuous road to make it out better than you started. If you work hard, and treat people the right way good things will happen. I don’t care what it is you believe in; whether that be God, or karma, or aliens, working hard and treating people the right way will always have you getting to where you want to be. That goes for work, and relationships. So, since you now know you’re actually a miracle, grab life by the balls and make it your bitch. so what happens when you look at your life would you use for the determinating factors for that when would you say the beginning is and then the year in a 1.60 later it will occur what would you use for some sort of a major beginning or a demarcation of some sort like a well in Venus’s case it is every one point six years and that is Phi mmm I mean that simply is five one point six women do what would be the determining factor what what determines happiness well when Venus begins to go retrograde she and which she does every one point six years she is slowing down in her orbit and now at the middle part of the retrograde like halfway between the beginning and end of the retrograde she meets with earth in an exact conjunction are very close conjunction called Kazemi to create a star point and at that point the seed is planted for the beginning of The author Gregg Braden fractal time which is a beautiful book and he talked about Venus in the 1.6 cycle but he was actually suggesting that you can take any important event in your life that’s happened like take the most important most extraordinary event of your life and figure out exactly how old you were how many years how many months and then you can add a 1.6 equivalent to it and you’re likely to get another really big important event one point six from that Wow and then you keep going one point six from that so does keep expanding 584 it’s not always 584 but based on that graphic you were showing earlier of the numbers remember the five the eighth the 13 and there it is the 21 all right so when you’re when you’re looking at those numbers he’s got the instructions in the book I can’t tell you he wasn’t timing it exactly from Venus retrograde to Venus retrograde the way that I do so it works and it works in a lot of different ways this Venus synchronization mechanism is finely tuned like a like a the most incredibly program Swiss clock it is it is so precise it’s very on different levels and now I’m calling it actually the Venus clock this Venus star when I first got all this information and wrote it down it is still is a Venus star because it’s a five-pointed star but the way it moves is it is like a slow moving clock working. in the back backdrop of our life always clicking away and those synchronistic events I think are important so I think knowing these points in an individual astrology chart your own personal life is irrelevant because it can be moments of great decisions at moments of great progress moments of great discovery moments of great creation creativity and to be cognizant of them particular birth time because there are moments when you’re going to have these points hitting now now point I want to make is or ask about is when you do this does the where we are in the world have a specific attribute to your own personal chart so if you are in a Venus star you have your Venus star chart and a point comes up where the Sun goes over that or a major planet goes over that point is it activated and yes so for instance maybe you’ll look at your birth chart and you’ll say well I don’t really have all you know points connecting these different points since I don’t have planets and those particular points but hey if you live a certain to a certain age you’re likely I’ve seen this over and over again you’re likely to have the star hit not just one planet but two points of the star hit two planets at the exact same time in your life or sometimes with people three points and I’ll get to that part of their life when I’ll say gee this star was the Capricorn star was sitting near Jupiter and the airy star was hitting your mercury and the Gemini star was hitting your Venus or your son let’s say and something must have really taken plate and that’s in an eight year period because the pentagram of Venus those degrees are usually good for about eight years and I’ll say something like wow this must have been in a really big time of your life very incredible that you would have three hits on the star in this particular few year period and that’s usually the responses oh yes everything happened in my life at that time that influenced my life that put me on the road that I’m on now that changed everything for me that wow that’s first thing and you can tie that back to the date and see exactly what it was when you think of someone like you mentioned Oprah earlier when you think of someone like Oprah obviously she’s a hard-working individual but a lot of what happened to her you think is based on her alignment of this Kazemi in her chart whereby she was sort of gifted with this sort of destiny of sorts would you call it I would call it a destiny for sure she was born at that Venus Kazemi very powerful in Aquarius she has been the queen of the air wave she surpassed broken and surpassed every record on the books for you no no I miss women nods were stuck together me being a woman being exactly a report from a poor part of the country in the south that she didn’t really have any advantages special advantages or opportunities when she was growing up this was her talent her what she came in with it birth her destiny you could call it but there it was Sun Venus and the Venus star point the triple crown all lined up at 9 degrees Aquarius at the time of her birth and there are similar figures to that that I’ve looked at that maybe had better advantages growing up but still became you know just shot into the stratosphere of you know incredible talent it does make you wonder I mean you have to stop and think about you know we all know that astrology is about timing obviously and that’s the basis of the whole astrological concept but when you see someone such as she you can’t help but wonder you know I mean she obviously had to do her work but you know she really was at the right place at the right time well we’re all doing our work we’re all hard-working and in the sense of things but but then you think okay but but she really did that so another person bore at the same time as her well you know what’s interesting exactly four years later when the Venus Kazemi came back to Aquarius and almost on the same date maybe a couple days later but four years later on that Kazemi Ellen DeGeneres was born it was those who’s another major media presence and both of them broke major records I mean when you think about the fact that it was Aquarius it wasn’t just that they were women and they broke through a lot of glass ceilings in the broadcasting brought Oprah for sure and the broad testing industry and talk shows and all of that and media empire that she’s inherited but Ellen had a similar kind of leadership quality breakthrough when she openly announced that she was gay she was the first major TV personality to announce that and I think maybe at first it didn’t really exactly work in her favor and maybe there was you know some backlash to that but it didn’t take long for her realizing that coming out with who her her real self who she was now the difference between Oprah and Ellen is that Oprah is an evening star and Ellen is a morning star and I often use this example when I’m talking about it because morning and evening are running on – they have almost two different types of machines that are driving them that makes perfect sense because of the timing and where they were born and so but the fact that the two of them and that course the four and the four makes the eight which gives you that same cycle that is phenomenal to me I didn’t realize that about Ellen that is really right perfect example of what it would bribe that’s a mathematical precision right Wow and it’s amazing we’ve been talking today with Ariel Guttman she’s the author of Venus star rise and we had around earlier to talk about the particular Venus star rising as well but more importantly we were talking about the the logic and the geometry of the universe which is much of which is explained in this book Venus star rising I encourage you to look up her website which is on the screen up there and we will see her name come up and she can do a fascinating reading and show you where your Venus star points are in your life and hopefully you can use them to your great advantage I think you’ll find creative people have this as you mentioned I think Oprah and Ellen DeGeneres are fascinating examples of that so when there’s hundreds of us it’s a tap in my head I’m I it’s been great for everyone thank you having me thank you If you want to transform and experience greater love, joy, healing, and magic, then this Masterclass is for you! 1. “Anyone can be a millionaire, but to become a billionaire you need an
