What up y'?

All?

This is Emily and I'm Lisa and we are the Continents collaboration podcast.

Yes we are.

Yes.

So episode 201, we're.

We're around the corner.

New territory.

New territory.

New algorithms.

Fun for 222 also.

Yeah.

I've been seeing two.

Two people in US.

Yes, I know.

Well, fire horse season is fire horsing.

Look at this.

Fire horsing.

Yeah.

Now we're overlapping with Mercury retrograde.

I'm not sure the length of it and where we'll be as far as when this episode comes out next week.

Week.

But we are right in the thick of it as of now, so.

Yay.

Woohoo.

Lots of energies at play.

We're gonna check on them.

Yeah.

So we're recording this on March 3rd and this airs next.

Yeah.

Three.

Three.

And I woke up at the crack of dawn this morning, literally trying to see the blood moon, the Virgo blood moon.

And I didn't have an issue waking up because this time of year my body's so used to this clock that we're about to switch forward where we live.

It's next weekend.

It's next weekend.

Yeah.

And I'm so disappointed because I feel so good in this rhythm right now.

But I woke up, you know, 5:30, went outside to see the moon and I couldn't find it because of man made objects like high rises and lights blocking, blocking it.

But the light was really pretty.

So I guess it was like one of those rare instances where you could see the sunrise and the moon, the blood moon at the same time.

So I saw beautiful pictures on social media this morning, even from my neighborhood, but I couldn't see it myself.

And I didn't really do any like ritual or letting go or anything like that.

There's so much stuff going on.

I'm like, where do you even begin?

Yeah, lessons.

I mean, it feels like a really great time just to kind of like protect your own peace with, with all that's going on.

And I think that that tracks with a Mercury retrograde as well.

Like it's a great time to, to kind of go inward and so we'll see what the.

If the I Ching agrees with that or what it, what it says.

Yeah, let's do a quick check in around where we are.

Gosh.

What should our intention be to see when this episode finds you?

This I Ching reading will help you to assess where the energy is currently in the collective and how to navigate forward until we meet again.

Beautiful.

Okay, so I have nothing further to

add Nothing further to add.

Teaching.

Okay, that was slow catapult.

And it was too many cards.

Okay, there we go.

That's interesting.

I like.

Whoop.

I like that one.

Okay, this is fun.

So the current energy of the collective, when you find this reading is hexagram 13, fellowship.

It's that.

I like this one.

It's that little fire in the cave.

Yeah.

And there's bones around it.

Very womb looking cave, if you want to go.

Oh, it is.

These are very like.

That reminds me of protecting peace.

Yeah, it does.

Yeah.

A shelter reminds me like you've got the fire and then there's five bones around it.

Maybe to represent the five earthly elements.

Perhaps.

But it's sky above and fire below are the energies.

Although the artwork depicts.

Although it has that fire in there, it's just a lot of earthy, you know, coon colors, which is in relationships, partnerships.

And this is telling us the story of fellowship.

And then shifting forward is hexagram 19, the approach of spring.

Quite literally the approach of spring.

Yeah.

I don't know if I've ever seen that one.

Yeah, it's beautiful.

It's earth above and lake below.

And I like it reminds me of that book that we read growing up in the 80s and 90s, where the

sidewalk ends,

where the wild things are, but also meets where the sidewalk Ends.

Did you read that book?

Sidewalk Ends is Shel Silverstein.

I know exactly what that is.

Yeah.

It's the different poems with the illustrations, but Shel Silverstein's was always black and white drawings that.

That's like the.

The watercolors of where the Wild Things Are.

Yeah, yeah.

And look at how this just sequentially goes together too.

Where do you go to hibernate during the winter, but in a cave?

Right.

And you're very much just kind of protecting your own piece.

And then what comes with later is what comes next is coming out of the cave and into springtime.

Yeah.

But I do like the energy currently is talking about fellowship, collaboration, relationships.

Let's see.

We'll give a quick overview.

We're so good at this, we don't even need to read the translation.

And again, it's from Paul o' Brien's Modern, Modern Translation.

And yeah, I mean, this talks all about collaboration.

Quick summary.

With a unified group solidly behind you, even difficult enterprises can be undertaken without great risk.

So who is around you that is supporting you in your endeavors, where you are headed?

You might feel very isolated in a cave, but in fact, you do have your collaborators.

And I think that's A good.

Just, I'm sorry to cut you off just based on what we were talking about before we recorded, you know, and I don't know if it's going to go on to say anything about this, but also doing an audit or a review of your current, you know, the people around you and determining who may or may not still be collaborators because sometimes you have to reevaluate, you know, somebody's potential position in your inner circle, if you will.

And yes, and you know, you may have, you may discover that those who were previously your fellows are not necessarily acting in a way that promotes that anymore.

Yeah, this is very much the energy of that.

I don't know how much of your story will come come out in the wash here.

But so informing your groups a spirit of cooperation studies the boat for the good of all sorts of.

So when you're cooperating that is reciprocated, that, that washes over everybody and you want to apply your high ideals, what you expect out of life onto you.

I just listened to a podcast and I, I think it was a diary of a CEO and talking about, especially when people are trying to manifest partners in their life and they make this big long list of all like I want six, four and a big bank account and all these things and super fit.

Well like how many of those things in that list do you embody yourself?

What do you have to offer?

But in, in this energy of fellowship too, you need these close knit groups to help you or you know, to, to help each other through life together.

And so, so apply high ideals to yourself as you would to the people in your group.

And, and so many of those ideals and qualities actually determine whether somebody will make a good partner or not, you know.

Yeah, it's said, you know, we attract people that are similar vibration.

Not to say that some don't.

What, what is the saying?

I mean Steve says this all the time too.

High vibrational people or empress level people still attract.

I mean they'll, they attract a lot.

They attract, you know, good, bad and in between.

And part of that being high vibrational is having that discerning ability to, you know, eventually sort out who, who has your best interest in mind and who doesn't.

I haven't heard you talk about Steve in a while.

Yes, I'll never fully leave my, my lexicon.

Steve's love tarot.

Is that what his channel is?

Yeah.

So also it talks about the importance of having differences in your group to be able to be the strongest.

So embracing diversity of strengths is more important.

Than having a great number, but having a very good, solid, diverse group.

So very positive energy.

There is a top line change here.

So it says you are blessed by divine providence.

Oh, I've not gotten this line before.

In this energy, this is a time for improvement in every way.

Supreme success goes to those who are in the world but not of it, who in the fullness of possession and at the height of their influence, remain modest and wink toward heaven.

Providence helps those who live with faith and gratitude and other people help the one who is true.

To those who have these qualities, more will be given.

So really being like we even talked about this in the pre chat.

The importance of being true to yourself and your values and integrity and not getting wrapped up.

But this is the recipe for supreme success.

And that this is in this reading is really important to the collective who's receiving this today.

And going further down, the person who's able to win over others by sincerity and a sense of dignity always find themselves in a favorable position.

This applies as much to those of great wealth and stature as to anyone else.

A combination of emotional honesty and personal dignity produces the best results.

Those who can maintain such qualities even while responding to improper behavior, have good fortune assured.

I think this is.

Yeah, set you free.

Yeah.

Our pre chats always tend to link up with these energy check ins.

I mean there is just such a collective resonance at play.

If pride and envy have surfaced in your life, let them go.

Don't try to compete with others.

Projected self images.

Competing with another's personal ego gets you nowhere.

It is a supreme waste of time and energy.

Consider the dilemma of average people who consort with the rich and powerful.

When dining with the elite, the poorer person must sometimes pick up the check.

Be willing to do so without hesitation or resentment, and you will remain free in spirit and be equal of those around you.

Man, isn't that the most beautiful metaphor for what we were just talking about?

You know, it's kind of like the theory too.

Just like, you know, people are gonna say things and do things that are just wrong and you just kind of got to let them, you know, stay in your lane, stay in your integrity, stay in your truth.

And it will reciprocity too.

Yeah, the reciprocity and the symbolism of picking up the check, you know, even when you might be in a lesser position of wealth, is going to further you in the long run.

So again, remaining free of spirit and also knowing that you are the equal or greater than those of around around you.

And people who are running out on checks, especially people who have, you know, the resources.

It'll come back around.

Yeah.

It'll come back around.

Yeah.

And it feels good to be able just to give from that place too.

Philanthropy is an obligation of those in possession of material mature we.

By donating a portion of wealth to support the greater good, wealthy people can avoid becoming possessed by their possessions.

On the other side, those who lack resources need not feel shame in asking for or receiving assistance.

All wealth is passing is a passing trust to be administered by people for a short time.

A small minded individual who is ignorant and lacking of this attitude will be controlled by what they own and the desire to accumulate more and more.

Even though they have the potential power of abundance, they squander or hoard it and therefore never can be joyful and free.

Okay, so lastly, the first lesson after an achievement of success is to stay fluid and mobile.

The amount of wealth doesn't matter as much as its usefulness going forward.

Wealth of any kind has the most value when used to launch new undertakings for the good of all, rather than the strength and the elite status of a few or just yourself.

One way to spread wealth is to be generous, especially with those who have helped you.

The reliable support of trustworthy people is the greatest asset of all.

Shout out to the collective Facebook group.

Yep.

Yeah, once again I have nothing to add.

Yeah, perfectly said.

I Ching translation here.

Paul o'.

Brien.

All right, so lastly, moving forward, the approach of spring.

My allergies feel the approach of spring.

I walked out.

I have like so many of those pollen clusters from the oak trees in my hair.

Next comes the worms that are on the strings.

Those are fun.

Yeah.

It says spring is coming.

Good times seem inevitable and there is vitality in the air.

This is the most auspicious time.

Like a snake emerging from hibernation.

Snake reference.

There's a snake again.

Negative forces are only beginning to stir and can be effectively controlled.

This is a time of hopeful progress and must be used to one's best advantage when approaching good fortune.

Conscientiousness work.

Conscientious work pays great dividends.

A clear road lies ahead.

In the spring, seeds that have been lying dormant are ready to bloom.

Act now, for at some point this ripe opportunity for advantage advancement will be challenged.

Because no spring lasts forever, it's wise to stay alert and note the changing signs of the time in doing so.

Preparing for less fertile times is a noble and fruitful effort.

Make the most of the season now.

Beautiful.

Another reason why you have to have the right fellowship in play.

They have that those Elements of reciprocity and solution oriented and positive and love diversity.

Yeah.

Not with people focused on.

On status or

same same seas.

Personal advancement.

Yeah, I know, I know so much I could say there.

I don't want to like give away.

Give away totally the, the pre chat of content.

But yeah, I mean there's so much to be said.

Looking through a world lens too that, looking for the things that unite individuals and seeing the advantage of having different perspectives and experiences and these differences are what make you.

I mean it just brings that mastermind together so you all don't get into a group think of like, you know, if you're, if you're in a situation where there's a problem to be solved and you're all thinking of the same way and there's no differences in that.

You're just gonna feel like you're going down in the ship but someone with a different perspective and different experience space is going to be the one to lead through.

So you want, you want people with those different experiences and lenses in your circle and, and see that as an asset and not a threat.

Yeah.

So I don't know.

I feel good about it.

I know like Mercury in retrograde.

Life is going to be life thing even in retrograde.

So it's not like we can stay hunkered down and not move forward with changes and contracts and you know, here in the US and Canada too, doing taxes and that kind of stuff, you still got to do that.

But dot your eyes and cross your T's and have good people around you to help you navigate if you're feeling challenged and ask for help and if you have more to give, give it.

That's the recipe for, for supreme success here.

So what say you over there?

I, I agree.

I agree on all counts.

All those things.

Yeah, that's the I Ching tends to do.

Yes.

Yeah, it does.

It's always.

We have to let on the details of our pre chat.

We don't.

I think it's relevant to so many

right now, you know, some, some life situations that they can apply that to.

So.

Yeah, no, I mean I'm thinking about it in my own, my own world, you know, from my pre chat what I was experiencing in the past week as well too.

I am so grateful for the fellowship that I have in the challenging times and just the, the insights and the experience.

Sometimes it just feels good to have like, you know, you want to be, you want there to be a little bit of devil's advocate to give you, you know, one perspective or another.

But Also, it feels good to have those that are affirming.

You know, it's comforting.

A little bit of both.

Well, those people, the ones who are supposed to be there, can.

Can do both.

They can, you know, challenge you when.

When that's needed, but support you at the same time.

And that doesn't mean acquiescing to your every, you know, idea.

Fluff my feathers all the time.

Fluffing your feathers.

You'll need a bunch of feather fluffers, but a little bit of fluffing is.

Yeah.

Motivating.

Yeah.

Helps you get through the times.
