The Island of Spirit & Soul

Where Mind & Body (Yin and Yang) dance together to fulfill our evolutionary purpose.

Once upon a time…

…there was an island where people believed that each person was born with an original medicine to heal the world.

Therefore, from the time the child was born, the adults committed themselves to supporting the child in fulfilling their evolutionary purpose.

They knew that for the child to tap into their medicine they needed both: Spirit & Soul.

Soul (Yin) lived in the body &
Spirit (Yang) lived in the mind.

Spirit was something of the “upper” realms, the inspiration of the pure mind, and it had access to the larger intelligence of the universe.

Soul was of the body, of the Earth, of the ancestors, of this 3-D realm.

Spirit was UPlifting.

Soul was DEEP.

Spirit was the LIGHTNESS of air 🌬️

Soul was the DEPTHS of water 🌊

They believed that when the body was unhealthy (and unprocessed trauma was trapped inside) the person didn’t have access to the intuition of their SOUL (their instinctual nature) because of various forms of survival freeze in the body. They also believed that when the mind became unhealthy, the EGO MIND would take over, and the person didn’t have access to the wisdom & guidance of Spirit; because their mind was so loud and authoritative (a normal survival response.)

The person then would struggle to find their evolutionary purpose and to give of their ORIGINAL MEDICINE to their community.

To them:

Success = Original Medicine

Success = Mind/Body Health

This is why the islanders took such exquisite care of both.

In fact, they worshipped both, as they saw them as the vessels through which their medicine would pour out into the world.

The islanders also believed that each child was born with a sacred story written in their DNA based on

Astrology & Quantum Physics

The people on the island had been avid sky watchers for thousands and thousands of years. They had kept meticulous records of how the movement of the celestial bodies impacted not just the events on the island but also the personality of its people and the traits of their Duende. Duende was another term they used for a person’s medicine.

Duende was the lovechild of Spirit & Soul.

Duende was the part of the person that came out when mind and body engaged in a healthy dance.

Duende was also immortal, since the person’s contribution would outlast the physical body and it would carry on impacting the community, sometimes for generations!

Cosmic Interdependence

As Above So Below

They believed that AS ABOVE SO BELOW,
meaning, that the conversation happening between the planets at the time of a child’s birth imprinted them in a particular way.

This conversation was part of their story and their medicine.

As astrologers & quantum physicists for generations, they believed that everything in the universe was interconnected; they believed that there was a precision in the cosmos that was guided by a larger intelligence.

They couldn’t understand how some cultures believed that the planets were just random objects floating in space.

They, on the contrary, experienced the planets as sentient beings of living intelligence, like the Earth herself.

They had gathered evidence (for generations) of their INTERDEPENDENCE with the celestial bodies, of how what happened in the solar system impacted life on Earth and her inhabitants.

Neutrinos

Because of their studies in Quantum Physics, they believed that Neutrinos (tiny particles of stardust) entered the Earth’s atmosphere and left an imprint on matter, including on a child’s DNA during gestation and at birth.

Their whole worldview (philosophy/spirituality) was based on NEUTRINOS—tiny subatomic particles that travel through space—which carried mass and information.

As neutrinos passed through different constellations, they picked up information from these areas of the cosmos.

Each constellation in the zodiac carried its own archetypal energy, such as leadership, nurturing, communication, or transformation.

For example:

- Aries symbolizes pioneering energy, action, and new beginnings.

- Libra carries energy related to harmony, relationships, and balance.

- Scorpio embodies transformation, depth, and renewal.

The flow of neutrinos through a specific constellation at the time of birth was believed to impart certain characteristics, shaping an individual’s personality, gifts, and life experiences.

Thus, constellations were energy sources through which the cosmic intelligence is carried and expressed through us.

As energy sources, the constellations provided humanity with archetypal guidance, cosmic information, and subtle energetic influences that shaped individual and collective destinies.

By attuning to the energies of the constellations, they could better understand their original medicine—their unique gifts and life purpose—and how they were meant to contribute to the healing and evolution of the world.

A Set of Inner Characters

They believed that each person and their story came with a set of inner characters, which could be seen as inner parts, as archetypes, as planets, as energies, etc.

I often feel them as energetic impulses inside The Self that propel us to think or act in certain ways.

Understanding these archetypal energies inside us can help reclaim our original medicine and find meaning and purpose in life.

The beauty of our birth chart is that it offers us a photograph of our “inner family” so that we can have greater intimacy with them, so that we can nourish them properly, and so that we can lead a more fulfilling inner and outer life.

Internal Solar System

The Planets as Parts of The Self

They believed that the Sun was the main character, the CORE SELF.

Even to this day, The Sun represents our essence/vitality, our life force, and our identity.

The Sun, as the central organizing principle in our inner and outer solar system holds the light that can help illuminate the other planetary parts, guiding them toward integration and wholeness.

Here’s a partial list of characters in the Internal Solar System:

Mercury represents the part of us that communicates, thinks, and processes information. This is the voice in the head that makes sense of our experiences and bridges the gap between our inner world and the outer world. Mercury is our “Messenger.”

Venus is the part of us that seeks love, beauty, and connection. She is “Our Inner Lover,” a part that is driven by a desire for harmony, pleasure, and a sense of worth. She reminds us to honor our needs for self-care, relationships, and beauty in the world.

Mars is our inner “Protector” or “Warrior,” the part that takes action, sets boundaries, and asserts itself. Mars drives us toward achieving goals and ensures that we stand up for our own needs and desires.

Jupiter is “Our Inner Explorer,” the part of us that seeks freedom, expansion, and wisdom. Jupiter is the part of us that drives our desire for meaning and the need to explore broader horizons.

Saturn is our “Inner Authority” or “Wise Elder.” It governs responsibility, discipline, and boundaries. Saturn is the part that sets limits, ensures we stay on track, and reminds us of the consequences of our actions. It’s the part that teaches us patience, resilience, and structure.

The Moon is “Our Inner Nurturer” and supports us in healing unresolved emotional pain by providing comfort, safety, and emotional nurturing.

The work of crafting our sacred narratives is about how these inner planetary parts—each representing a facet of our psyche—can interact harmoniously.

When we bring THE LIGHT OF THE SUN (our conscious awareness) to these parts, we can work toward integration, healing, and wholeness.

The Sun is like a grow light.

Whatever you focus the light of your conscious awareness on, it grows.

Now I want to invite you to stop for a minute and simply contemplate the size of the celestial bodies in our solar system.

In particular, contemplate the size of that SUN of ours, that precious star that makes LIFE & LIGHT possible here on Earth and inside our bodies.

Just bask in the enormity of that SUN!

The Medicine from The Sun

The people who lived on The Island of Spirit and Soul believed that the medicine you are here to give to the world was largely impacted by the energy that was passing through the Sun (and that was reaching the Earth) on the day you were born.

They considered this YOUR LIFE’S WORK.

They believed that you were the recipient of that sacred energy, and that now you are being asked to share it with others, in natural and sustainable ways, fully supported by your planetary companions.

They believed that your body is a vessel carrying those frequencies in your DNA, waiting to be activated by the Sun of your conscious awareness and the sunlight of your heart… when you focus on those qualities within you.

The Neutrinos from The Sun.

Your Sun wants to leave a legacy behind!

Your Sun wants to unpack those neutrinos in a particular area of your life,
to support the life of those in your circles, like the Sun does.

Each sign has a unique contribution, a legacy to leave behind.

Let’s look at them briefly, for you to see the beauty and uniqueness of each sign.

The Signs and Their Legacy:

Aries: The Legacy of Courage and Initiation

Taurus: The Legacy of Stability and Abundance

Gemini: The Legacy of Communication and Learning

Cancer: The Legacy of Nurturing and Emotional Depth

Leo: The Legacy of Creativity and Leadership

Virgo: The Legacy of Service and Refinement

Libra: The Legacy of Harmony and Justice

Scorpio: The Legacy of Transformation and Empowerment

Sagittarius: The Legacy of Exploration and Wisdom

Capricorn: The Legacy of Achievement and Responsibility

Aquarius: The Legacy of Innovation and Humanitarianism

Pisces: The Legacy of Compassion and Spirituality

Each Sun sign feels the impulse to contribute to the collective evolution of humanity.

But The Sun Needs Help

Meet The Dream Team

As we’ve seen up until now, the Islanders believed that The Sun (a Yang mental energy) has an impulse, a purpose, something it wants to share with the world, something it wants to illuminate for others.

They had noticed that each child had a certain interest, something they found fascinating; something that gave them joy to explore; a natural interest that filled them with vitality;
and so, the parents knew to support that interest.

But they also knew that The Sun alone can be too much;
that the The Sun casts a huge shadow;
that the EGO MIND can get in the way.

They knew that the immature YANG MIND (alone) can be dangerous.

They knew that too much action dysregulated the nervous system.

They knew that there was MORE to LIFE than than ‘yang doing,’ than our life’s work …

So, yes, they knew the child needed support in order to lead a balanced life,
and so they made sure the children knew of their different sacred planetary companions,
one for each area of life.

In particular, they promoted THE DREAM TEAM.

The Dream Team included:

The Sun, of course, as the Core Self, the radiant central intelligence of the Heart/Mind.
Mercury, the child’s Messenger who would help in the expression/communication of The Sun’s brilliance.
The Moon, as the child’s inner guidance system, the child’s Intuition. The Moon would help navigate the energetic undercurrents of the human psyche.
The Planetary Ruler, to help the child return to the vehicle of the body; this was the child’s Sacred Companion.

This is how the child could start to bring balance to the mind/body system.

This is how they could harmonize Soul (Yin/Body) and Spirit (Yang/Mind).

The Sun and Mercury represented Yang (an outward-focused action).

The Moon and the Planetary Ruler represented Yin (embodied internal consciousness).

In some parts of the island they had other terms for some of the members of the Dream Team:

Mercury ‘The Magician’
The Moon ‘The High Priestess’ &
The Chart Ruler ‘The Chariot.’

This team would become the daily companions for the journey towards the child’s ultimate destination:
the delivery of their medicine as part of their evolutionary purpose on Earth, while being deeply grounded/rooted in the sacred vessel of the body.

Visiting

The Temple Classrooms

To facilitate these relationships, the islander created sacred buildings that they called
TEMPLE CLASSROOMS for daily visits, where the child could learn with reverence.

We will visit those Temple Classrooms separately, but for now it’s time for us to leave The Island of Spirit and Soul.

It is now time for you to gather the information in your chart, to get to know your internal solar system, and to get started crafting The Sacred Story Written in your DNA.
