How is the LB (loosing of the bond) in our charts controlled—by the individual, or by something beyond our control?
That’s a very philosophical question, but I’ll answer it as quickly as I can.
The “life between life”—and if you study Michael Newton, I recommend everyone read Life Between Lives—comes down to this: your soul personality has to find a match with the personality structure you inherit, which is shaped by your environment.
So someone may be incredibly shy as a child, and then later become a Broadway star who handles paparazzi like it’s nothing. You’d never imagine they’d turn into that person. But that’s the self—the soul—coming through. Personality develops over time. You get hints of it early on, but who you ultimately become has more to do with your soul’s coding, calling, and deeper personality that travels from lifetime to lifetime. And that is symbolically represented in the horoscope.
Here’s an example. I don’t like doing these readings anymore, but I had many friends with young kids ask me to look at their child’s chart. After I tell them what I see, they often respond, “Some of that fits, but a lot doesn’t sound like them at all.” And I tell them, “Right, because that’s who they’re going to become. That’s not who they are now.” Their personality is going to shift, evolve, and change because that’s who they really are.
So if I say, “They have tremendous artistic ability,” and the parent says, “He’s not interested in art at all,” I tell them, “Don’t worry. They will be.” If you had told Aunt Mimi, who raised John Lennon, that he had tremendous musical potential, she would’ve dismissed it. Lennon showed zero interest in music until age 16, when he asked for a guitar and didn’t even know how to play it. If you had described his future—writing, music, philosophy, leadership in a counterculture movement—no one would’ve believed it.
That’s part of what the chart shows. And the LB—loosing of the bond—is the moment when those breakthroughs happen, when your true self begins to emerge. The LB will create whatever is needed to ensure you become who you need to become.
What are the chances that AI will make knowledge workers obsolete?
It’s already happening. That’s why layoffs keep intensifying. They just released new numbers. If you’re senior-level—a doctor, AI engineer, whatever—you won’t get laid off, but they simply won’t need as many of you.
Anyone who has worked in a company knows: 20% of the people do 80% of the work. 80% of the goods, services, and profits come from 20% of the workforce. The 80/20 principle. So companies could look at that and say, “Let’s get rid of 80% of the workforce.” But that would be too disruptive to the culture of most businesses at this point, so perhaps they just cut 40%. Then later, another 40%.
Because 20% of what you do produces 80% of your results. I know hundreds of techniques, but only 20% actually give me the outcome I want. But I had to learn the other 80% to know which 20% matters. Same with life—you go through everything to finally understand what you actually needed to learn.
So I’d estimate about 80%, to be honest. The higher your IQ, the faster you get replaced. If you’re a PhD with a 140 IQ, you’re more likely to be laid off than a 100-IQ blue-collar certified tradesman, like a master plumber or electrician, who usually has around 110 IQ.
Corporate lawyers have around a 112 IQ. And they’re in big trouble. If you own your firm, you’ll be fine because you’ll just use AI, but a lot of legal work will get hit very hard, very fast.
Junior-level programmers, junior-level doctors—gone. Not entirely eliminated, but far fewer will be needed.
We won’t see 90% unemployment, but we will see about a 40% culling. For example, you could eliminate 40% of teachers right now and train the remaining 40% to use AI. Suddenly, they teach better, faster, and more customized. And the remaining 40%? You realize they were holding the system back. They were the lazy ones, the ones who lost interest in the job, the ones not really even qualified to be a teacher, but they somehow got the degree and got tenured…
This will happen. Nothing stops the AI train. People need to stop resisting it and say, “Okay, this is the reality. What can I do about it?”
My boomer friends don’t get it—I hope they wake up soon
I don’t think most of them will. Some do—maybe 15%. Same percentage for boomer astrologers. Same percentage for boomers who hold Bitcoin. It was 13% two years ago; now it’s 15%. You might ask, “How can it still be 15% when Bitcoin has doubled in the past year?” Because it’s not about intelligence—it’s psychology.
Most boomers in power are still holding on to the old world. Not all, but most. They don’t get it. They’re not going to get it. I’ve argued with them about AI. They still don’t get it. They quote articles about AI hallucinations, lack of reliability, no real value—just like people in the 1880s resisted electricity.
We had electricity in 1880, but half of American households refused to adopt it for decades. We could’ve electrified 90% of the country by 1900.
The UAP connection to plasma filaments, solar flares, and EMP
“When you mentioned electricity being a paradigm shift, I got that aha moment about UAPs in relation to plasma filaments, solar flares, and EMP (electromagnetic pulse).”
Yeah, when we have these plasma or solar flare events, and now with that unknown object coming into the solar system—whatever it is—they still don’t know what it is, but it’s not a comet.
It’s clear we’re going to have moments where it becomes obvious. It was always there, but people refuse to see it until something forces them to. Just like technology and business models: Enron went out slowly, then suddenly. Blockbuster—slowly, then suddenly. Consciousness works the same way.
Breakthroughs happen slowly, then suddenly. Awareness hits all at once: “They’re here. It’s clear.” You won’t need a government announcement. The government is always a day late and a dollar short. It’s rare that they’re ahead of the curve.
