Old EA Message Board

All,

What I had proposed by way of moving forwards with this thread WAS NOT for any of you to post whatever Uranian past life memories that you may have.

What I was thinking/ proposing was to have volunteer's post their entire natal chart in which all the various Uranian signatures that correlate with the totality of all those Uranian long term memories could be seen in such a way as to determine how the Soul was using these to make the subconscious choices it has been making, and why. Thus, to have that volunteer(s) be willing to share and expose their actual life here in order to do so which itself would require Uranian objectivity combined with Sagittarius honesty.

Upon further thought and reflection I feel this is not the right way to proceed. There are to many potential problems and traps this could create which I simply wish not to tempt, so to speak.

So if any of you have other ideas of how to move this thread forwards please let me know.

God Bless, Rad

Hi Rad and Group,

I was thinking it might be interesting to study Taylor Caldwell's chart. Taylor Caldwell was a popular author who wrote many very detailed historical fiction novels in her lifetime. It was believed that many of these novels were based on past life memories as they were very detailed and she wrote about many topics that she had never studied. At age 12 she wrote the first draft of a book titled Dear and Glorious Physician which is about the individual now known as St Luke who was a healer and physician during the time Jesus was alive.

Being that there is information about some of the topics she wrote about (potential past life memories) we could more or less see if we are on track.

From Wikipedia:

"She wrote many historical novels, including several about famous religious figures.

Dear and Glorious Physician (1959) was about Saint Luke; Great Lion of God (1970) was about Saint Paul; and I, Judas (1977) was about Judas Iscariot.

In The Earth Is the Lord's (1941), she fictionalized Genghis Khan; in The Arm and the Darkness (1943), Cardinal Richelieu; in A Pillar of Iron (1965), the Roman senator and orator Cicero; and in Glory and the Lightning (1974), Aspasia, mistress of the Athenian leader Pericles.

Caldwell addressed religious themes in several works.

For instance, Answer as a Man begins with the clamor of the bells of a little church and ends with an evocation of renewed faith: "Jason raised his eyes and smiled. God is good. He moves mysteriously, as the priests say, but he has his ways, he has his ways! He is not the adversary of man. Man is, Jason thought. God is not to be understood by man. He is just to be trusted."

In Dialogues with the Devil (1967) Caldwell explicitly addresses religious subjects: the story is in the form of correspondence between Lucifer and Michael. Mixed into this dialogue are old tales, stories of a lost continent and of other worlds, and theological speculations.

-"Childish raptures! said Lucifer, with scorn, his eyes flashing like lightning. "Are we indeed whimpering and craven children, or slaves? Can we be content with toys and little deliciousnesses? Are we not mind, as well as emotion? And is not the mind, of both angel and man, the noblest of possessions, and worth exercising. It is in our minds that we approach the closest of Him, Who is all Mind. Mind is the creator of all philosophy, all order, all beauty, all satisfaction, but emotion is the lowliest of the virtues, if it is a virtue at all. Mind has in it the capacity to know all things, or, at least, the minds of angels." "

Back in the 60s or 70s another author wrote a book about her which is pretty interesting itself:

The Search for a Soul: Taylor Caldwell's Psychic Lives
by Jess Stearn

One of Jess Stearn's most dramatic and provocative explorations of the hidden dimensions of man's mind, this book delves into the psychic lives of bestselling novelist Taylor Caldwell. A skeptic about reincarnation, Miss Caldwell agreed to undergo hypnosis "in the interests of setting the theory of reincarnation to rest." Yet once in a trance, she lapsed into memories of other lives and other places-lives which make fascinating narratives in their own right, places that provide the background for many of her novels, memories that suggest a wealth of experience of which she has no conscious memory or knowledge. Drawing on his years of research in parapsychology and the writing skill that has made him a best-selling author, Jess Stearn tells an absorbing story, one that challenges our most comfortable assumptions about memory and immortality and casts new light on the work of an internationally admired novelist.

Hi Cat,

The purpose of this thread was to be able to see, from a person's actual life, choices that were/ are being made that are rooted in the Uranian consciousness of the Soul. There is no way of knowing what choices Taylor made in her personal life whatsoever that would connect to the intent of this thread. So to me this just is not a workable relative to her.

God Bless, Rad

Hi Skywalker,

"Something I would like to understand better are the subconscious choices themselves. Since they are subconscious how can there be an actual choice? It seems that the choices are subconscious emotional choices, Pluto, made thru natural gravitation towards a sense of security."

***********

All choice correlate with Pluto, Scorpio, and the 8th House. The long term memories of the Soul symbolized by Uranus are in place in such a way for the Soul to make ongoing choices relative to it's own evolution. In essence, the choices are triggered within the Soul because of the long term memories that it has that, in the context of consciousness in the human form, correlate to the individuated unconscious: Uranus.

In the case we have worked with thus far and this Soul made 'choices' to not to get underneath a water head in a shower, for example, that choice was taking place at a subconscious level. It's not like he was standing in front of a running shower and then consciously thinking or deciding 'gee, not sure I want to do this or not'. The choice was being made at the subconscious level of his consciousness that manifested as a terror of the shower head upon sight leading to an instant flight reaction. This of course reflects the PTSD his Soul was literally born with.

PTSD directly correlates to Uranus, Aquarius, and the 11th House. This might be something to explore in this thread in order to see how unresolved trauma, PTSD, affects the choices the Soul makes in life.  

The Uranus long term memories of the Soul when ignited instantly manifest into Mercury as conscious thoughts without the awareness, in most Souls, of this link.

God Bless, Rad

Hi Rad,

The idea to explore the potential for PTSD as symbolized by Uranus in the birth chart is very interesting and valuable for those learning EA and helping others. It seems we all come into this life with varying degrees of PTSD due to the distortions of the patriarchy.

The linkage between Uranus and Mercury is also very interesting. The higher and lower mind and their interaction. Also the link between Mercury and Jupiter which are the rulers of the North and South Nodes of Uranus.

Thank you

All the best

Hi All,

Please let me know how many of you would be interested in exploring and developing the Uranian, Aquarius, and 11th correlations to the phenomena of PTSD.

God Bless, Rad

Hi Rad,

I am interested in participating.

Thank you,
Emily

Hi Rad,


I'd be very interested in learning more about
Uranian PTSD and how it influences choices
made by the Soul.


Thanks,

Linda

Past life PTSD? Count me in.

Hi Rad,

I´m in!

Thank you

All the best

I am very interested in exploring how unresolved trauma affects current life choices made by the soul.

Thank you,
Karen

Hi Rad & Group,

I am interested as well.

Peace,
Kristin

Hi Kristin, Daniel, Karen, Skywalker, Linda, Emily, and anyone else who wished to participate ..

Ok, we will move forwards now by focusing on the correlations of Uranus, Aquarius, and the 11th house to the psychological condition called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and it's connection to long term memories that affect the choices the Soul is making in it's life that are conditioned by PTSD. Remember one of the correlations of Uranus, Aquarius, and the 11th House is also one of projecting: projections. Thus, unresolved traumas, Uranus, etc, that manifest as PTSD are projected into the immediate situations of one's life, and/or into the future itself. So below is a succinct definition of PTSD with an additional link to Wikipedia and an extensive discussion of what this is. Please read through this and if you have any questions please ask them of me know. After this we will then begin some very basic EA work that can become more extensive depending on the desires of those who are participating in this thread..

In the beginning we will simply start with some simple possible signatures such as Uranus in opposition to Mars and continue to build upon those simple signatures to include the entire signature for PTSD in a whole birth chart. This can include PTSD brought forwards from other lives and how to see and understand this, and can include the Soul creating PTSD type events in the current life.

So, for now, please read through the below.

God Bless, Rad

                                                         What is PTSD?

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can occur after you have been through a traumatic event. A traumatic event is something terrible and scary that you see, hear about, or that happens to you, like:

    Combat exposure
    Child sexual or physical abuse
    Terrorist attack
    Sexual or physical assault
    Serious accidents, like a car wreck
    Natural disasters, like a fire, tornado, hurricane, flood, or earthquake

During a traumatic event, you think that your life or others' lives are in danger. You may feel afraid or feel that you have no control over what is happening around you. Most people have some stress-related reactions after a traumatic event; but, not everyone gets PTSD. If your reactions don't go away over time and they disrupt your life, you may have PTSD.

How does PTSD develop?

Most people who go through a trauma have some symptoms at the beginning. Only some will develop PTSD over time. It isn't clear why some people develop PTSD and others don't.

Whether or not you get PTSD depends on many things:

    How intense the trauma was or how long it lasted
    If you were injured or lost someone important to you
    How close you were to the event
    How strong your reaction was
    How much you felt in control of events
    How much help and support you got after the event

What are the symptoms of PTSD?

PTSD symptoms usually start soon after the traumatic event, but they may not appear until months or years later. They also may come and go over many years. If the symptoms last longer than four weeks, cause you great distress, or interfere with your work or home life, you might have PTSD.

There are four types of symptoms of PTSD :

    Reliving the event (also called re-experiencing symptoms)

    You may have bad memories or nightmares. You even may feel like you're going through the event again. This is called a flashback.
    Avoiding situations that remind you of the event

    You may try to avoid situations or people that trigger memories of the traumatic event. You may even avoid talking or thinking about the event.
    Negative changes in beliefs and feelings

    The way you think about yourself and others may change because of the trauma. You may feel fear, guilt, or shame. Or, you may not be interested in activities you used to enjoy. This is another way to avoid memories.
    Feeling keyed up (also called hyperarousal)

    You may be jittery, or always alert and on the lookout for danger. Or, you may have trouble concentrating or sleeping. This is known as hyperarousal.

Can children have PTSD?

Children can have PTSD too. They may have symptoms described above or other symptoms depending on how old they are. As children get older, their symptoms are more like those of adults. Here are some examples of PTSD symptoms in children:

    Children age birth to 6 may get upset if their parents are not close by, have trouble sleeping, or suddenly have trouble with toilet training or going to the bathroom.
    Children age 7 to 11 may act out the trauma through play, drawings, or stories. Some have nightmares or become more irritable or aggressive. They may also want to avoid school or have trouble with schoolwork or friends.
    Children age 12 to 18 have symptoms more similar to adults: depression, anxiety, withdrawal, or reckless behavior like substance abuse or running away.

What other problems do people with PTSD experience?

People with PTSD may also have other problems. These include:

    Feelings of hopelessness, shame, or despair
    Depression or anxiety
    Drinking or drug problems
    Physical symptoms or chronic pain
    Employment problems
    Relationship problems, including divorce

Here is a link to an extensive discussion of PTSD on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptsd

Hi Rad,

I'd add to the list of the types of traumatic events that can be the original cause for PTSD to develop later ...

- psychological distortion

An example of what I mean by this would be an outer planet transit simultaneously to many natal planets at the same time causing unasked for and little understood latent psychic powers in a person to suddenly open up, become active, with subsequent random use of such powers then causing havoc in their relationships.

It was an eye-opener to me when I realized that these kinds of inner highly personal events can also be so traumatic that they can result in PTSD just the same as something more outer and objective like a physical/sexual assault or natural disaster. But with the exact symptoms of PTSD manifesting in the person as a traceable result of such an "event", it being a cause for PTSD was undeniable.

All,

As we begin this focus on PTSD it is vital to understand that there is always a reason, cause, that the Soul has for creating whatever trauma(s) that it does that can lead to PTSD. Those reasons or causes can be as varied as life itself: there is no one reason or cause that applies to all Souls.

Beyond the individual Soul whole groups of people, races, can also experience trauma's that lead to PSTD as a group or people, or race. Again, the causes or reasons can be many, and within this we need to remember that any group or race of people is comprised of individual Souls. Thus, all Souls who experience a collective trauma have their own individual reasons for being part of whatever group or people, or race of people. A simple example of this point would be the Jewish people who have invented a belief that essentially says "˜we are the chosen people, and, as a result, we deserve to be punished'. Given the nature of such a belief it should not be any wonder why then this race of people has created the types of traumas to itself that it has. The holocaust of WW2 speaks for itself.

We also need to understand that Soul's can also be the cause of creating trauma's for others. This of course also includes whole groups or races of people who create trauma's for other groups of people and/ or individual people. And, again, the reasons or causes within an individual Soul for doing so, or a whole group of people, or race of people, can be many.

The core intention of creating trauma, individually and collectively, is to bring something to the forefront of consciousness that needs to be examined so that a liberation, a freedom, from the dynamics that are the causative factors for the trauma to take place. Remember one of the archetypes of Uranus, the 11th House, and Aquarius is liberation from some existing reality that is preventing the ongoing evolution of the Soul itself, or whole groups or races of people as well.  

So as we move forwards with our EA examination of PTSD it will be imperative that we understand these simple truths.

If you have any questions on these points please ask me now.

God Bless, Rad
