Rigidity or serendipity. Guardedness or openness. What Human Design taught Laurie about the week when things didn't go quite as planned.Your mother-in-law dies on Monday. You're supposed to get on a plane to France for nearly two months on Wednesday.A younger Laurie would have read that as a sign. Selfish to go. Time's not right. Clearly the universe is telling you to stay where you are. This time, she got on the plane… and in this episode (recorded from France, so forgive the audio), she explains why.It turns out that same week, the dominant energy frequencies in Human Design were the 46 and the 25: the Euphoria Explorer and the Accepting Priestess. They also happen to be two of the four frequencies that make up 80% of Laurie's own design. Coincidence? She's not sure she believes in coincidence anymore.This one gets a little woo-woo. It's also one of the most practical conversations about control, fear + the stories we tell ourselves about "the right time" that you'll hear this year.What we cover:Why there was no episode last week, and why presence with Mike mattered more than a self-imposed deadlineA tribute to Virginia: 93 and a half years, an incredible life, and a son who cared for her with real tendernessHuman Design, the Gene Keys + the I Ching: why gates, keys and frequencies are the same thing with different namesThe "core four": the four frequencies (out of 26) that make up 80% of your personality and what you're here to doLaurie's 11 and 12, and why her life's work literally requires her to stop generalizing and get specificWhy she's not for everyone… and why that's exactly how it's supposed to workEnergy frequencies as a "weather report" that surrounds all of us, whether or not they're in your chartThe 46, the Euphoria Explorer: seeing magic in the unexpectedRigidity: "It must happen in exactly this way. I need to know where this is going before I even begin."Why there's almost always more than one road from point A to point B (and what that means for your white knuckles on the steering wheel)Serendipity: letting go of the outcome and trusting you could never have planned the magicThe 25, the Accepting Priestess: loving what is, without faking itThe "I'll be happy when…" trap, and how we delay loving the life we're livingGuardedness: the walls we build so nothing can hurt usOpenness: letting the wound unwind into a higher destinyWhy you can feel your spouse's hard day before they say a word (yes, that's energy)"You can't have high frequency dreams for your life by operating at a low frequency."The moment of decision: what the old Laurie would have done, and what she did insteadStaying in the stands vs. getting in the arenaThis week's coaching question: where are you gripping the steering wheel too tightly?Quotable moments"The timing was never gonna be perfect. The timing was never gonna be right.""You don't have to hold the steering wheel so tightly.""You could never have planned the magic that could happen.""We delay our happiness, and we delay loving the life that we're currently living.""You can't have high frequency dreams for your life by operating at a low frequency.""Walls don't just go one way. Yeah, you can't get hurt, but you also can't feel the goodness.""You don't have to know how it's all gonna play out. You just have to be open to possibility. What's meant for you will find you."

¿Qué significa pensar que el mundo tiene alma? ¿En qué momento dejamos de experimentar la naturaleza como una realidad animada de la que también formamos parte? En este capítulo de El Libro Rojo, grabado en el primer encuentro de fin de semana del programa, charlo con Cruz Mañas y Miguel Salas Díaz sobre el anima mundi y nuestra relación con el mundo. Hablamos de lo sagrado y lo femenino, de Jung y René Guénon, del símbolo y del desencantamiento de la realidad, para regresar finalmente al I Ching y preguntarnos qué significaría hoy recuperar el alma del mundo.

¿Qué son el cronista y el chamán y por qué representan dos formas diferentes de conocer la realidad? ¿Qué ocurre cuando aprendemos a integrar una mirada racional e histórica con otra intuitiva y simbólica? En este capítulo de El Libro Rojo, grabado en el primer encuentro de fin de semana del programa, charlo con Cruz Mañas y Shantena Sabbadini sobre el I Ching y el legado de Eranos. Hablamos de sus míticas reuniones, de la psicología del corazón, de lo visible y lo invisible y de cómo estas dos formas de conocimiento pueden encontrarse en un mismo centro.

WEEKLY WISDOM & INSIGHTS 09/16/26SPIRITUALLY GUIDED TRANSFORMATION & EMPOWERMENT

Rosemary Woodruff Leary sat in a jail cell for a month rather than testify against her husband. While she was inside, Timothy Leary gave a ten page interview to Playboy about what LSD does to a woman's body and did not mention her once.She was his editor, his translator, the person who read the room for him, and the organizer who coordinated his 1970 prison escape across the Weather Underground, the Black Panthers, and the Brotherhood of Eternal Love. She called herself The Computer. Then he turned on her, pointed the FBI in her direction, and she spent twenty four years underground as Sarah Woodruff, running an inn in Provincetown with a go bag by the bed.Susannah Cahalan found her the way forgotten people usually get found. She was working through four hundred boxes of Timothy Leary's papers at the New York Public Library when she noticed a much smaller collection almost nobody had opened.Key TakeawaysRosemary Woodruff Leary served a month in jail rather than testify against Timothy Leary before a grand jury investigating Millbrook, and the Playboy interview that made him famous ran while she was inside.She was the coordinating point between the factions who organized Leary's 1970 prison escape, working with the attorney who also represented the Weather Underground and the Black Panthers. She called herself The Computer.Leary later decoded their letters for investigators and offered her mother money for her location. She spent twenty four years underground and could not hold any job requiring a Social Security number.She died at 66. Cahalan connects that directly to going without health insurance for the years she was a fugitive, which is the harm reduction point of the episode and has nothing to do with the drugs.Rosemary told students explicitly that psychedelics are not for everyone and that there is a shadow side, a position Cahalan argues is more relevant to the current renaissance than anything Leary said.LSD remains a Schedule I substance under the federal Controlled Substances Act. The April 2026 executive order directs faster federal review of psychedelic research; it does not reschedule anything.Timestamps0:00 Introduction 2:38 Ketamine, the NMDA receptor, and the sense of self 3:18 Humphry Osmond, asylum architects, and where set and setting came from 4:38 Finding Rosemary in the New York Public Library archive 5:38 Signs, synchronicity, and the I Ching 6:38 What Rosemary changed in Susannah 9:26 The women who carried the archives while the men made headlines 10:26 Millbrook, the grand jury, and a month in jail 13:06 The Playboy interview she was in jail for 14:41 The prison escape, the FBI, and the letter that ended it 16:05 Twenty four years underground and what it actually cost 18:47 Cape Cod, a new name, and a secret affair 20:47 Invisibility after a certain age 22:32 A contradictory woman 24:32 The warning Rosemary gave about psychedelics 27:32 The Robot, overuse, and why integration mattersGuest SpotlightSusannah Cahalan is a journalist and the number one New York Times bestselling author of Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness and The Great Pretender.Her third book, The Acid Queen: The Psychedelic Life and Counterculture Rebellion of Rosemary Woodruff Leary, was published by Viking in 2025 and named a Best Biography of 2025 by The Guardian. She spent years in archives at the New York Public Library and in Rosemary's family's hands to reconstruct a life that survived mostly in other people's footnotes.Additional ResourcesThe Acid Queen: The Psychedelic Life and Counterculture Rebellion of Rosemary Woodruff Leary by Susannah Cahalan (Viking, 2025).

I CHING - CO-DEPENDENT RELATIONSHIPSStephen Pressfield, in his self-help manifesto, “The War of Art,” cites “resistance” as the devil - a destructive force (personified as Satan), that emanates from within, seeking to thwart whatever positive motivations you have to create art, or to even to live a better life through self-improvement. In a list of potentially positive actions that resistance targets Pressfield includes as #10: “any act that entails commitment of the heart. The decision to get married, to have a child, to weather a rocky patch in a relationship.”This resonates!But, what if said resistance stands in the way of ENDING a toxic, co-dependent relationship - one in which you've invested years of work, love, passion, and friendship? Lately you've been looking longingly for an escape hatch, because what was once a mutually satisfying partnership has devolved into a stasis, a grind of hellish endurance. Will the I Ching say that it's ok to admit defeat, or exhort us to fight on? Will it advise us to go into couples therapy, or to simply cash in our chips and cut our losses?Ah, but, It's not so simple. For one thing fear of the unknown is palpable; maybe you don't want to go solo and become cynical, even if being part of a couple feels like a strangulation of your soul. Perhaps the Oracle can advise?The question posed before the Oracle today is stated thus: CO-DEPENDENCE: CUT YOUR LOSSES, OR REDOUBLE YOUR EFFORT? THE I CHING'S RESPONSE:HEXAGRAM 64 “INCOMPLETION” with moving lines 2 & 3 HEXAGRAM 56 “JOURNEYER”

In this week's I Ching forecast we revisit the power and value of harmony in our clan as we move in sync with others.

What if Bitcoin is the only true measurement of time? Can it be the model of unification of time, energy, and memory? Jack Klucznik and Nicholas Marino are the co-authors of “Bitcoin: The Architecture of Time”, a 244-page paper that approaches Bitcoin through physics, treating it as a thermodynamic and mathematical object built from entropy, energy, and quantized time. In this mind-bending episode

Cat Wagner kept seeing the phoenix — in meditation, in birds, in everything — until one day she became it. That was the moment she finally named her business and stopped waiting for permission. In this Wholeness Guide conversation, Cat and Mechelle get into what it actually looks like to hold multiple healing modalities at once: Reiki Master training, shamanic technique, angelic healing, tarot and oracle, runes, the I Ching, and human design. Cat teaches full time, reads for clients online, and weaves these tools together based on what a person actually needs in the moment. We go into the question Mechelle has been sitting with: if human design says your energetic blueprint is fixed, and Reiki says energy is fluid and can shift — how do both stay true? Cat's answer is one of the clearest we've heard. She also walks us through what runes and the I Ching are and how to work with them, why she never picks the deck for you, and the most common mistake people make when they start reading for themselves — asking a question they've already decided the answer to. (Mechelle owns having done exactly that. Cat pulled the Tower. Twice.) If you've ever wanted a reading but worried you'd be handing over your own authority, this one is for you. In this episode:— Why the phoenix arrived before the business did, and what had to burn first— Holding a fixed blueprint and fluid energy at the same time— Runes and the I Ching, explained plainly— Why the Tower card isn't the bad news you think it is— Where to start if you want to read for yourselfConnect with CatRising Phoenix Website: https://risingphoenixehs.com/Instagram: @risingphoenix.ehsEmail: risingphoenix.ehs@gmail.com

The Living the Tao AMA gives Supercast subscribers a place to ask about Taoist practice, the I Ching, spiritual development, unusual experiences, and the questions that do not always fit neatly into a regular episode. In the August AMA, Taoist Master Michael Steenrod takes up questions about changing interpretations of the I Ching, choosing among too many possible paths, becoming the complete human, and how we decide whether something is real. Some questions get a brief answer. Others open a much larger door—and can become the basis for future episodes. This AMA episode is available exclusively to Living the Tao subscribers on Supercast.

Episode SummaryOto sits down with longtime friend Christopher August — bestselling author, breathwork facilitator, and co-founder of Beats and Breath — for a wide-ranging conversation on identity, awakening, and the nervous system. Christopher traces his path from a corporate career and a master's degree to two years living in a rural Tanzanian village, and then to the moment that changed everythingA near-death experience on a class-five rapid on the Zambezi River, where he lost consciousness and came back with a completely new relationship to breath. From there they dig into the Gene Keys system (shadow, gift, and Siddhi frequencies), the "great solar flash" prophecy tied to 1987/2012/2027The difference between sympathetic and parasympathetic breathing, and how breathwork and plant medicine can overlap — before closing on Christopher's Mastery Collective, his Beats and Breath app, and a live guided breath with the audience.Chapters / Timestamps (Shifted +1:00 to account for the trailer at the top of the episode)00:00 – Trailer 01:00 – Intro & Meet Christopher August 03:00 – Leaving Corporate for a Village in Tanzania 05:00 – The Near-Death Experience on the Zambezi River 08:00 – Identity, Ego Death & the Path of Letting Go 14:00 – Masculine, Feminine & the Great Inversion 17:00 – Christopher's Core "Why" 18:00 – 2020, Lockdowns & Building Community in Buffalo 21:00 – Oto's Own 2020 Story: A Cop, a Mask & a Ticket 23:00 – Post-Jab Symptoms & Holding Space Without Judgment 26:00 – What Are the Gene Keys? 28:00 – Shadow, Gift & Siddhi: The Three Frequencies 30:00 – Your Gene Keys Profile as a Soul Blueprint 33:00 – Avoiding the Identity Trap 36:00 – The Great Solar Flash & the Birth of Human 6.0 39:00 – As Above, So Below: Humanity's Densifying/Awakening Split 41:00 – The Coming Timeline Bifurcation 44:00 – Building Sovereign Community Hubs 45:00 – Oto's Announcement: Building Alternative Digital Infrastructure 46:00 – Breathwork as Protection From Energetic Parasites 48:00 – Trauma, the Nervous System & Why We Stop Breathing Deeply 50:00 – Breathwork & Plant Medicine: Where They Overlap 55:00 – The Hijacking of Cannabis & Why Sourcing Matters 57:00 – Sound, Frequency & the Beats and Breath Method 1:00:00 – Beatboxing, Breath Capacity & a Video Break 1:02:00 – Recovering From the Jab: Fasting, Detox & Fundamentals 1:06:00 – The Power of Subtraction Over Addition 1:08:00 – Inside the Mastery Collective & Beats and Breath App 1:10:00 – A New Partnership Announcement 1:12:00 – Final Words: A Guided Breath to Close 1:14:00 – Closing & Where to Find ChristopherKey TakeawaysChristopher's near-death experience on the Zambezi River in 2014 — losing consciousness underwater and being resuscitated — became the foundation of his breathwork practice, which he describes as "being born again."The Gene Keys system, created by Richard Rudd, combines human design, astrology, and the I Ching into 64 archetypes, each with a shadow, gift, and Siddhi frequency, used as a framework for self-understanding.Christopher's rule of thumb with the Gene Keys: focus 90% of your energy on the gift, 10% on the shadow — the shadow is a gateway, not an identity to collapse into.He points to a prophecy tied to Gene Key 55 with three marker points — 1987, 2012, and 2027 — describing a gradual "mutation" tied to humanity's collective awakening.For recovery and general health, Christopher emphasizes fundamentals over complexity: breath, fasting, clean water, sunlight, and nervous-system regulation (shifting from sympathetic "fight or flight" into parasympathetic "rest and digest").He and Oto announced they'll be partnering to bring the Gene Keys/breathwork/somatic framework into Oto's academy.Learn More / ConnectChristopher August — https://christopheraugust.coCONNECT WITH OTO: Instagram – https://instagram.com/otogomes Website – https://otogomes.live(This episode touches on personal health decisions and detox practices; it's for educational and entertainment purposes only, not medical advice.)

Based on Karen Maezen Miller's Paradise in Plain Sight: Lessons from a Zen Garden and teachings from the Kabbalah, this first talk: The Gate and the Ground, explores having faith in yourself as The Way, how all of life experiences are conspiring to bring us into a deeper awareness and experience of Spirit and looks at how the rocks of our life, our shadows, and our greatest challenges can support the expansion and sharing of our greatest gifts. Bringing teachings from Kabbalah, I Ching, and Zen together for inspiration.

Inspired by the clear and evocative 1985 translation of the I CHING,  by Kerson and Rosemary Huang - a team of a poet and physicist-poet, I kept a diary of musical interpretations of hexagrams which appeared to me when I consulted the oracle over the course of a year.HEXAGRAM 33: RETREAT (Bill Mesnik)"Form is transitory, acquiescing in the flow"I'm yielding to the circumstances, being still and letting go,open to the transformation - going with the flow.I'm gone with the flow in the grip of the tideI don't know - nobody knows if I'll see you on the flip side.What we see ain't what we get, it's not under our control - the tide surges up, then leaves us flat in the midnight coaster rollWhat's the point in making scenes, or, inscribing your little name in stone,When the tide surges up and the beach is swept clean into endless, timeless unknown?I'm gone with the tide in the grip of the flow - Whether or not I'll be purifiedwell, I just don't know.HEXAGRAM 42: INCREASE (Bill Mesnik)"The time of increase does not endure, therefore it must be utilized while it lasts."One hand strengthens the other; on the other hand, I might fall.Could you lend a hand, my brother? I don't have much, but I could lose it all.I'll follow your instructions; you seem to know the way,I played right through the harvest, now my stores are empty at the dark of the day. I heard warnings about the future, but I turned the other way,music soothed my apprehension, and my passions held sway.Now I'm looking for a harbor, and I saw your firelight.Might I bide awhile in your cabin to pass away the dampening night?HEXAGRAM 13: WATCHING (Bill Mesnik)I'm watching - watching... letting things play out in timeAlthough I'm invested in the outcome, I'm just watching, and trailing behind.In the dawn - the anxious dawn... before the pulse of the day,Should it come to pass the shadows grip you, you may not be able to have a say. We are travelers - fond travelers sharing this path for a mile,Although I may want to protect you, we'll only be together a little while.So, I'm watching, watching... letting things play out in time.although I'm invested in the outcome, I'm just watching, and trailing behind.

Have you ever wondered why Yarrow, one of history's greatest healing herbs, appears in the witches' poison garden in Practical Magic?

Special Announcement:  Cosmic Cousins Soul-Centered Astrology Certification. A Yearlong Immersion in Living Astrology with Jeff Hinshaw Learn to speak the language of the stars.  Join a year-long journey into Soul-Centered Astrology where you'll explore birth charts, planetary cycles, Tarot, embodiment, ritual, and the deeper myths woven through the cosmos. Whether you're beginning your astrology path or deepening your practice, this immersive program will help you build a lifelong relationship with the sky. Early bird rates available now. Now, on to this week's episode of Cosmic Cousins as we journey into the depths of the Cancer New Moon — a sacred invitation to slow down, return home, and reconnect with the wisdom of the body, heart, and emotional landscape. We explore the powerful astrology surrounding this lunation, including Jupiter's entrance into Leo, the Mercury Cazimi, Neptune retrograde in Aries, and the rare planetary basket formation weaving together Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, and Jupiter. Rather than rushing toward the next chapter, this New Moon reminds us that true transformation begins with rest, reflection, and nourishment. Together, we explore what it means to pause in the in-between spaces, honor the emotions we've carried, and prepare the soil for the creative expansion and collective evolution ahead. Then, we are joined by Seymour Fox, a Cancer Sun tarot reader, professor, and participant in this year's 22-week online Fool's Journey. Seymour shares their lifelong relationship with Tarot, beginning in their teenage years in California and evolving from a study of archetypes into a deeply intuitive and relational practice. Together, we explore the intersection of Tarot, queerness, academia, and spirituality, as Seymour reflects on creating space for all parts of themselves and integrating their professional and magical identities. Together we explore Cancerian themes of home, memory, devotion, grief, and emotional belonging, including how Tarot became a source of spiritual care during their late wife's illness and how loss transformed their relationship with the cards. Seymour shares their devotional Fool's Journey practice of creating altars for each Major Arcana card and how ritual immersion revealed that the archetypes are not just symbols to study, but living relationships that meet us through unexpected moments of transformation. We then close with a Cancer New Moon Whimsical Wanderings journey through childhood memories, the ocean, books, and the wisdom of the I Ching's image of “The Well”, a reminder that our inner waters are a source of nourishment, connection, and infinite renewal.   Cosmic Cousins Links Sedna Workshop Cosmic Mix Tape Newsletter Mentorship Deep Dive Astrology Readings Tarot Soul Journey  Cosmic Mix Tape Cosmic Cousins Substack Instagram Intro & Outro Music by:  Felix III
