I have heard a little about this Expanded self and then learned more through reading your posts about it. Is there a resource you'd recommend to read more?

Also on one of the threads you had linked, you or someone mentioned the astrological indicators of such soul connections. There was mention of oppositions with the personal planets, but then of course similarities like with your partner and this woman. I had been thinking of this previously, given that it is all about balance and completion of the axes...?

Those similarities between their charts are crazy though. I don't feel they can be called only "synchronicities". I have noticed similar patterns just in my own life (Virgos.... ugh! lol) and always wondered about them, but the Expanded self makes sense of it. I am surprised they are not more Plutonian as you had mentioned you tend to be attracted to Plutonians. I wonder if the other woman's expanded self sent your partner's soul in part because she wouldn't be able to play certain roles in this life, like a way of being with you even when she can't be. That's my romantic idea.

Bob (Robert) called it his "I-There" and for awhile, till he learned better, he called it "INSPEC". At first, he thought it was some advanced alien consciousness or something, but then he learned, oh, this is the bigger and more original me.

Bruce came along after Bob (and note the phonetic similarities between the names Bruce Moen and Bob Monroe), and further dug into it, and called it the "Disk" after the computer term/concept.

Speaking of synchronicity. Bruce was very drawn to Bob and Bob's books from a relatively young age. He really wanted to go to The Monroe Institute to take some programs there. Bruce, the recovering, rahter left brained engineer type, had had just enough freaky and unexplainable stuff happen to him, that he had to question the coventional notions of reality.

Well Bruce finally made his way to the Monroe Institute and met his hero, and became friends with his hero. Then, Bob left this world to contiue his explorations nonphysically.

Meanwhile, the younger Bruce, was taking another Monroe Institute program, and nonphysical Bob (and Bob's nonphysical wife Nancy), was all up in Bruce's 3rd eye grill you could say (sometimes I crack myself up..).

Bruce got a little surprise, and learned a little more about his own Expanded self/Disk. Turns out that he and Bob came from the same Disk. Yep, they not only had been friends in physical, but were Disk-mates.

And both Bob and Bruce were friends with a female explorer type, who Bruce refers to as "Rebecca" in his books (not her actual name, she is a very private person), and turned out that still in physical Rebecca was also another Soul from that same Disk. Interestingly, Bob was a Scorpio Sun and Bruce had been born with Scorpio South Node. Coinkydink? Doubt it.

Disk-ception, you betcha . And then we find a young Galactic, one day reading Bruce's 3rd book and the revelations of same. Wowza! Really! Very interesting and he wondered if it's all true?

Then young Galactic, has a dream shortly after, and in said dream, he is in a classroom that Bruce Moen is teaching. As Bruce is talking/teaching, his face morphs into Bob's briefly, and then morphs back to his own.

Guidance's way of saying, "Yep, it's true, the whole Disk thing is real, and Bruce is correct that he and Bob come from the same Expanded self/Disk". Mind, meet explosives (but in truth, he suspected it was true all along).

And thus does Galactic's own explorations down the rabbit hole begin. And, along the way, he became friends with Bruce Moen and Rosalind McKnight. Rosie was also close to Bob (not one of his Expanded selves other selves). Rosie had been one of Bob's long time and consistent "Explorers" back in the day before the Monroe Institute was even called that.

Young Galactic, when he first read Bob's books, and tried Hemi-Sync, and then learned about the existence of The Monroe Institute, he longed to go to the latter, but he thought that he never would, because it was pricey and he wasn't a very good materialist and clearly had a lot to learn about being a "Capricorn"...

But meanwhile, he read Rosie's book, "Cosmic Journeys" (highly recommended). Rosie put her email in the back of the book as a contact. Young'ish Galactic had read something in her book that he found curious. Her guidance had talked about Rosie and her retrieval abilities (unsticking ghosts from the physical, and helping them to where they belong) and mentioned something about how her strong Capricorn energies were very helpful in her retrieval ability/proficiency.

Young Galactic was like, hot dang, well I'm a Capricorn Sun and Mercury. And so he thought to contact Rosie (this was before he met Bruce btw). And with no expectaions, he emailed Rosie, and surprisingly she got back to him. Turns out that youngish Galactic and Rosie shared the same exact b-day, and they lived in the same state.

And thus began an unlikely friendship between a mid 20's male and a 60's female.

But the tale deepens, because not long before all the above played out, Young Galactic had just gotten married to his twin Soul at the A.R.E. They decided that for their honey moon, they would have two (cause why not?). One was a trip to Scotland, and the other was to take the Gateway Voyage Program at The Monroe Institute.

And so youngish Galactic and his bride fulfilled a lifelong dream of his, but curiously, a few weeks before said trip, he had a dream where he became aware/was told, that he and his bride to be had "helped the Monroe family before". Que!? Como? Por quah?

Well, the conclusion will not be expressly written, but if one reads between the lines, one might get it. Perhaps a few more clues. Not only did youngish Galactic and Rosie his friend share the same b-day, but oddly, they shared the same Moon Sign, and almost exact same Mercury and Venus positions. 10 degrees Cap and 21/22 degrees Aqua respectively.

Hmmm, but youngish Galactic was a little more dense at this time, and not as tuned in, and initially he thought that it was his partner and Rosie that were part of the same immediate Expanded self. But, being Capricorn skeptic that he was, he decided to bring it to guidance, and asked the Big Eagle folks what they thought. They told um, "nah dude". ???? Seriously???

Then he asked them, well did her Expanded self have a lifetime involved with The Monroe Institute and Bob Monroe? Was told yes, and when asked for name, he heard a name that was ever so slightly and vaguely familiar that he had briefly read in a biography years back.

Turns out that woman and Rosie had been co-workers and good friends. And thus did Galactic's guidance dream, "you and your partner were involved with helping the Monroe family" become fulfilled and finally completely understood.

And, in one of the instances was more specifically told that one was a woman, and that if they ended up meeting, she would feel like a sister to him.

And I think I ended up meeting the mysterious Rebecca of Bruce's books, but since apparently she is very private (and may still be alive?), I probably shouldn't go too much into that. But suffice it to say, she was one of Bruce's long time friends, and I met her when I met Bruce.

She used to be a professional intuitive, and I had gotten a reading with her before having met Bruce etc. Well, despite that a couple years had passed, and despite that she didn't know who I was when we met in person, apparently she was the real deal, because she figured out pretty quick during our conversations, "Oh, you're that young man I had given a reading too awhile back?"

(I mean, I already knew she was the real deal during the phone reading because she gave some definite accurate verification, but this just further drove the point home).

Do you think that once one of those themes is "set", it becomes a pattern? In other words, similar to the idea of eternal return, once something like abandonment or service/retrieval occurs in one lifetime, it necessarily repeats thereafter? Do you see these themes reflected in the birth charts, synastry, composite?

Yes, the oppositions connection is definitely interesting. It probably comes from the very beginning of their creation. When the Spirit split initially into two Expanded selves, one was a bit polarized to the Yin and one a bit polarized to the Yang.

That kind of set the tone and theme for the pattern of imbalance seeking balance. And this is probably one of the reasons why a lot of opposite Signs often show up.

Those latter questions are all interesting questions and would be excellent ones to ask your guidance under more ideal conditions. Guidance doesn't always answer right away and/or directly ime. Sometimes we have to figure things out on our own to some extent, or we get led to answers down the line.

Btw, imo, Bob's first book is boring as heck, but perhaps necessary to understand his journey in a more full context. He started off an intellectual atheist or agnostic type. He had no religious nor spiritual beliefs of any kind when he started to spontaneously have out of body experiences. In his first book, you can tell he is just trying to get a handle on all this stuff that was happening to him, and there was a lot of fear and ignorance.

He wrote 3 books over 3 decades, and essentially the first book was written in the 70's, the 2nd in the 80's, and the 3rd in the 90's, and you can see major changes in him and his belief systems from book to book. In the first, he sounds like a scared scientist trying to document and verify his experiences. In the 2nd, his fear drops a lot and his curiosity to explore takes over, and in the 3rd book he is talking about sublime concepts/truths like the importance of universal/unconditional Love, the existence of a Creator, the Oneness, etc.

Bob was a good example of the higher type of Scorpio who went through some powerful transformations. In the beginning, he was firmly focused on terra firma, but by the end, was flying high up in the heavens so to speak.

Thank you, in some ways, it has been a rich and interesting life. Perhaps symbolized somewhat astrologically by the ruler of the 11th, Jupiter, Saturn (ruler of Sun and Mercury), and North Node, Mercury, widely conjunct the chart ruler the Sun in Cap and both of these trine Mars Jupiter conjunction, with Mars ruler my 9th. Mercury and Jupiter being especially close in the trine with a half degree of difference. Then both Mercury and Jupiter are very closely trine the MC.

And my Sun is widely sextile angular Scorp Uranus (hence Mercury also partakes since it is conjunct the former), and parallel Neptune.

Definitely a lot of focus on the spiritual and nonphysical in relation to friends, groups, and one's "life path" (combo of North Node, Sun, and MC). I've received a lot of spiritual help from guidance and I'm very grateful for that.

Thank you GalacticCoreExplosionV2! your name is even cooler!

Another synchronicity - I was just about to start a thread about crystals for meeting a soulmate, and reading your post about azurite!

posted August 23, 2021 11:35 AM            

It is kind of like the poor person's version of Moldavite, and also feels more balanced than it, imo.

But definitely strong stuff. Here's a really interesting account of Azurite: http://myemail.constantcontac t.com/Forbidden-Stone-of-Mastery---Edgar-Cayce-s-Extraordinary-Missing-Month.html?soid=1102126638469&aid=dZuB2qXaITA

After clicking on the link, go down a little, maybe a 1/6th of the page or so, until you see this title:
"Edgar Cayce - The Mysterious 'Missing Month'" , which is a reposted article written by Sidney Kirkpatrick.

Should be noted that Edgar and T. Mitchel Hastings had found and were dealing with special, unusual pieces of Azurite that were more translucent in nature. These are hard to find. But the more opaque stuff has its effects too, just not as powerfully as the more translucent stuff that apparently gets quite charged by solar energy when exposed to same.

Did you have some experience with moldavite?

posted August 23, 2021 03:43 PM            

It felt like Azurite and Moldavite had a similar effect, but the Azurite felt more balanced to me in some way. It's sometimes hard to put these kind of subtle feelings and senses into words. But, it could just be that my vibratory patterns are more in sync with Azurite than Moldvaite and that others might find things different and might be more in sync with the Moldavite and thus it will feel a bit better for them?

If the colors are any indication (and often they are), then deep blue indigo color is definitely more aligned with my aura and energetic patterns than green.

Lol, that's the whole point of using gems/stones to begin with, to help with attunement. If one is perfectly attuned and balanced, no need for an outside aid or props. But if you need a little extra help, then they can be a good resource as long as you don't get overattached.

My partner and I had recently moved in together and it was...interesting at times since we are both strong and stubborn personalities, and we were in the process of healing childhood and past life wounds, that we seemed to poke and prod in each other more than with most.

She had been raised in a religious household where her mom is a hardcore Catholic. As she grew up, she questioned it more and more, though she still had some attraction to the basic concept of Yeshua and his teachings. So you could say that at this point, she was recovering Catholic.

Young Galactic on the other hand, had had a very different childhood with a very strong focus on spirituality and metaphysics from a young age. And he was more into the healing process than she was at this time, having experienced a death of a very close loved one about a year before which acted as a powerful catalyst in many ways.

Well, young Galactic having such strong Jupiter in his chart, along with Leo Rising and very strong Capricorn (his strongest Sign by far) could be, and often was, more than a wee bit preachy and sometimes borderline forceful in preachin'da'truth.

Meanwhile, the ultra Fixed, very strong Lass, had a penchant for sarcasm, defensiveness/sensitivity, and/or put downs at times. "My Love she throws me like a rubber ball. She won't catch me or break my fall, Oh Oh Oh, the sweetest thing."

Young Galactic had just bought and started to wear a piece of Azurite on a necklace. He had read in the Cayce work that it facilitated psychic/intuitive attunement and he was curious to test it out. It was his first piece and he didn't have too much expectation other than the above possibly happening. Now, mind you, Mr. Cayce, or rather Cayce's guidance, had recommended that Azurite be put in between glass or the like, because otherwise its emnation was too powerful.

Young Galactic was a wee bit full of himself, and thought, "Oh, I can take it, give it to me straight up and raw baby."

Well, after wearing it for a couple days, he started to get a splitting headache in his Pineal gland area. He was not a person prone to headaches whatsoever, and only would very occasionally experience them during bad colds or during really strong Solar outbursts. Neither was the case, and so he surmised, "hmmm, maybe the Azurite had something to do with it?"

He made the unfortunate mistake of speaking this observation out loud to his feisty and skeptical (read CYNICAL) beloved, and she immediately derisively laughed, made fun of him and said, "ooooh 'magic stones'".

Young Galactic was a bit..how shall we say..irked by this making fun of his beliefs/perceptions, but rather than start WWIII by saying some choice words back, he reflected and went within a bit, and an intuition went off like a light bulb.

So he said to her, "Ok, well let's test this then. Lay down on the bed, I'll put it on your forehead and we'll see if anything happens." She being confident that she was in the right and that Galactic was deluded and a fluffy headed New Ager, she agreed to the experiment.

So she laid down and put the azurite on her forehead, and within about 10 minutes or so, surprise, surprise, she started to get a splitting headache in the Pineal gland area, much like the one that Galactic had reported. It gradually faded away after she took it off, but let's just say that she wasn't so c0cksure about her position anymore, and one of the first cracks in her belief system appeared.

"Magic rocks" indeed, harrumph!

(Young Galactic eventually learned to apply some wisdom and backed off more and more from man/preacher'splaining da'truth, and let her discover things on her own, and indeed in the coming years, she came to have a number of her own direct nonphysical and psychic experiences, which transformed her belief systems more and more, and now they are on a very similar page with a lot of their deeper, spiritual oriented perceptions.

I am having the same kind of mismatch with my date except that he is ultra-scientific and I am eclectic with a mixture of science, religion, mysticism and astrology. He sees himself the crazy synchronicities happening to me and to him every day but he still thinks they are just coincidences. I gifted to him a moldavite but he doesn't wear it, he placed it in a closed box.

Yeah, unfortunately a lot of guys are like that to some extent--the types that would need to be hit over the head with a 2x4 wielded by a ghost, to become more open minded in most cases... One of the reasons why I tend to get along better with women then men, friend/platonically wise.

Anyways, don't make the mistake I made in trying to convert. Instead, pray that he has some powerful direct experiences to help him to open up more. Lol, maybe he will be hit over the head by a 2x4 wielding ghost? "WTF, where did that board comes from!?!"

I kind of believed that they "meant something" but after two years of fixation on someone with crazy synchronicities which did not end up in any kind of a relationship I don't believe anymore in their "meaning".

By the way, with that person we had DW Asc-Vertex conjunction, partile conjunction of his Sun & Pluto and my Moon, tight conjunction of his Mars & my Pluto.

And yet nothing in the end!

Now I start getting synchronicities with my date, I wonder why.

Do synchronicities emerge when people develop feelings for each other? Am I just oversensitive to synchronicities?

How long have you waited (ok I see it’s been 2 years)? And how long were the synchronicities? Sometimes we need to work on ourselves for something particular till we unite with them.

Synchronocities continued for about a year and a half after we were no longer in contact. And they intensified after I wrote to him and he didn't reply (I am pretty sure that my message shocked him and he was thinking about it a lot). So I guess synchronicities were due to our mutual thoughts about each other.
