As a spiritual coach, I am honored for you to be here and for allowing me to guide and educate you through your “Know Thyself” journey. I consider the Know Thyself journey is the most adventure you can take in this lifetime. If you don’t take the time to truly know yourself how can you know anyone?

The Exploration of Neptune in Your 9th House

Neptune in the 9th house is a powerful placement for those who …

• are interested in understanding the mechanics of the cosmos,
• want to connect to the whole,
• are seeking knowledge in a spiritual context
• have a deep respect for cultural and religious differences,
• feel a pull towards foreign (outside your familial culture) philosophies and religions.

The energy of Neptune, like all energy, exists in degrees. The energetic polarity swings from easy and flowing to challenging and everything in between. All degrees provide your soul with the Neptunian energy that is needed to fuel your spiritual grown, like the sun provides the energy of growth to the plants, Neptune provides this energy to your soul – remember you aren’t part of nature, you are nature. Harnessing this energy allows for deep long-lasting soul growth via spiritual weight training. Inner resistance training does to your soul what weight training does to your muscles (it makes you strong, solid, powerful at your core).

A primary tool of Self-Mastery is Inner Knowing. Knowing Thyself is the only true path to a life designed and built by YOU. Everything in your life was created by your Inner Environment manifesting after the fact in the external environment. If you want outer change, you must do your Inner Work.

Spiritual Skill Set for Soul Evolution (Flowering)

• Self-Awareness
  • The majority of the people currently on the planet have no self-awareness and instead of owning all their behavior and choices spew all their toxins out into the world via projection and/or abuse. All the unhealed trauma, limiting beliefs, toxic behaviors, etc. can be seen everywhere. Look at our politicians: the House and Senate look more like two groups of high school children instead of the Wise Elders they should be by the time they reach their late 50s. This toxic projection (abuse) happens in every area of life where relationship dynamics play out … families, educational systems, government, love relationships, technology, medical industry, etc. … any and all relationships (especially the one you have with yourself). Ask yourself right now – is your inner voice an empowerment coach cheering you on laughing with you when you mess something or is it a toxic bully emotionally abusing you every time you “fail” or something doesn’t work out the way you expected it too? We are in a current state of emotional crisis in the world. Each of us can do our part by traveling inside and healing ourselves.
• Personal Responsibility — that means being responsible for everything in your life, the perceived good and the bad.

In order for you to grow spiritually you must cultivate the skill of Self-Awareness (most people on the planet are completely blind to the parts they play in their lives and the lives of others, and the destruction and long term effects their ignorance of themselves (that is a legacy none of us should want to leave for future generations). They create inner chaos and trauma – emotional, physical, spiritual that can last throughout many generations. ) allows you to know what needs to be declutter in your subconscious mind. Subconscious programming runs subtly in the background of your life all day, every day, and until you become aware of it you are consciously blind to why and what is happening and being drawn into your life. You have to put on your detective hat and become your own investigator. Your reactions, behaviors, encounters with others, etc. will provide you all the clues you need to discover what lies below your conscious mind. Once you collect the clues you can solve the puzzle of many of the WHYs of your life and install new programming code that is programmed by you and not those that were your caregivers during ages 0-7 where you lived in a state of hypnosis taking in all the good and bad of the adults around you. All of whom were programmed by their caregivers. That is why bad, unhealthy, toxic behavior shows up in families. It isn’t genetics it is programming.

Once you have uncovered the clues and modified your reaction to outside events over time (the Universe seems to give you tests over time to make sure you got the lesson) all of the repeating unsetting unhealthy relationships and circumstances will vanish from your life forever. This is when you are truly in the drivers seat and AUTONOMOUS. Cultivate the life of your dreams – you have everything you need inside, learn to use all that POWER for the good of you, the collective and the earth.

• Positive Energy: the individual may find salvation in interacting with foreigners, living abroad, or learning unfamiliar concepts.
• Challenged Energy: the individual may experience anxiety around traveling or interacting with different cultures. There may also be unconscious grief or prenatal memories of having been denied access to knowledge in a past life. It’s important to be aware of the possibility of developing religious or ideological fanaticism, which can be difficult to modify and may lead to projecting the notion of “evil” onto other belief systems.

To fully access the blessings of Neptune in the Ninth House, one must cultivate an appreciation for logical thinking and analysis. This can be achieved through techniques of argument and the effective use of rhetorical devices. By regulating the natural dedication of Neptune to the higher mind, the individual can open themselves up to new intellectual possibilities without blurring the lines of their thinking.

As your coach, I recommend exploring your desire for knowledge and understanding, and cultivating an appreciation for different cultures and religions. Through meditation and self-reflection, you can access the deeper spiritual meanings associated with this placement and open yourself up to new intellectual and spiritual possibilities.

• Understanding different cultures and spiritual practices can be incredibly beneficial to your personal evolution.
• Engaging in sacred journeys and pilgrimages can be a powerful way to rectify your views, beliefs, and philosophy through disciplined metaphysical education.
• Mind training and critical spiritual thinking are also essential for personal growth and development.

It’s important to acknowledge that ignorance is not the same as being unintelligent. We all have areas where we lack knowledge or understanding, and it’s important to remain open-minded and receptive to new ideas.

However, it’s also important to recognize when certain beliefs or religious practices are blocking or distorting our actual experiences. We must be mindful of provincial or limited views that may be eclipsing our direct experiences. By doing so, we can avoid the trap of cultural determinism and move towards a more authentic and meaningful spiritual path.

Neptune Contemplation

• How open-minded and receptive are you to new ideas?
  • You have Free Will (Choice) to be open-minded and receptive to new ideas or to stay close-minded and resistant to new ideas. Self-Awareness is a tool worth strengthening. You are presented with opportunities to choose between growth and decay on a daily basis. If you’re not growing, you’re dying. To transform your life you must seize these opportunities and question your belief system (where did it come from, who programmed it into you, is it Truth or are you letting blind belief lead the way?). By doing this you can break free from PRISON of cultural programming and gain a new and expanded perspective (Worldview) of your life and what is TRUE for you (not a hand-me-down from your parents, ancestors, teachers, religious organizations, educational system, etc.) — most core programming happens between the ages of 0-7. Who was your primary caregiver during that age range? Were they amazing, loving, kind, empowering or the opposite. Either way they programmed you and that programming is running in the background of your life, in your subconscious mind, directing every decision you make. This autopilot code can only be deciphered if you start paying attention to your Inner Life, your emotions, reactions, judgements, etc. Once you are aware you can become the programmer of your LIFE, delete the dead code, reformat your hard drive and install the programming that is designed for YOU, by YOU.
  • Self Awareness – The next time you feel a trigger go off inside your body that makes you want to fight, flee, or freeze … do not let the default code run. STOP and question the feeling. No other human being should be able to say something to you that causes that stress response. It surfaces from deep in the unconscious waters of your subconscious (your past, your old code). Stop the code … PAUSE, examine, release the emotional valve without projecting it out into the world or holding it in and making your body a toxic dump.
  • By doing it different and not running the same old “If X, then Y,” code, over time, it will die out and you won’t experience the event, confrontation, etc. because the emotional charge and code will have run their course.
  • Tune in and become your own private investigation: Ask yourself what caused the emotions to trigger, who else in my family runs this same code, is this really who I am, do I want to change this behavior, where did this belief come from, is it TRUE (believe it or not the answer to this questions is usually NO.
  • Changing these programming statements unlocks your personal prison (limitations, false beliefs, restrictions) and allows you to cultivate a new way of being, create a life of growth and positive change inside out outside. Your external environment is a mirror of your internal environment and can provide clues to what is really going on below the surface of your conscious mind. Clean out the basement, remove all the clutter, and move to the penthouse where the view is infinite beauty. It was there all along. Once you unlock this magic be the example for others to follow. That is a beautiful contribution to the healing of society and the earth.
