Transcript
- 0:34SPEAKER_00: Hey everybody, welcome to the Digital Soul Space Podcast, musings of the metaphysical, magical, and nonsensical.
- 0:44SPEAKER_00: This is our week in review.
- 0:47SPEAKER_00: So this is where we highlight the things that are going on in our very special online community of Digital SoulSpace.
- 0:55SPEAKER_00: Just remember, we are an independent online metaphysical community.
- 0:59SPEAKER_00: We are donation-based.
- 1:01SPEAKER_00: And that means you can log in and enjoy a community where there are no ads, no bots, in the sense that, you know, there's nobody pretending to be human on there.
- 1:13SPEAKER_00: And enjoy spiritual conversations with other witches, psychics, mediums, astrologers, pagans.
- 1:22SPEAKER_00: Maybe you're brand new to spirituality and you just want to learn, and that's perfectly fine because on digital soul space, every single person is a teacher and a student at the same time.
- 1:35SPEAKER_00: So this is our weekend review.
- 1:37SPEAKER_00: So the big news yesterday was the eclipse.
- 1:41SPEAKER_00: And the eclipse was like, wow, we had some members that uh watched the eclipse on a beach in Portugal, and it was amazing.
- 1:50SPEAKER_00: Gary and Nihon are with um higher dimensional healing, and they have moved to Portugal, and they were supposed to meet some friends on a beach, and they ended up on another beach, but they met some complete strangers that they shared a meal with, um, some cake that they had brought, and that's just wonderful.
- 2:14SPEAKER_00: For me, the eclipse brought a ton of energy, and you know, we had the eclipse, we had a uh uh Perseid meteor shower yesterday.
- 2:25SPEAKER_00: I mean, we had the Lions Gate portal closing.
- 2:28SPEAKER_00: There was so much going on, and the energy for me at least was off the chain.
- 2:33SPEAKER_00: There was things going on at work, uh, people were being emotional, uh being very uh revealing a lot of truths coming out yesterday in a positive way.
- 2:44SPEAKER_00: It was all good.
- 2:46SPEAKER_00: And uh my tire went flat on my car.
- 2:49SPEAKER_00: It was the energy was crazy, it was really hard for me to go to sleep.
- 2:53SPEAKER_00: So we were um talking about uh that yesterday on digital social space, a lot of uh conversations about astrology, too.
- 3:02SPEAKER_00: Uh Donald Patak, who um runs the Freedom Through Astrology space and also the website of the same name.
- 3:12SPEAKER_00: Donald is a sidereal astrologer, so it's not like Western astrology, it's also called visible sky astrology.
- 3:21SPEAKER_00: And uh Donald was talking about uh the solar eclipse, the sun conjuncting the moon, and the south node in Leo, opposite the north node in Aquarius, and he's just really good at explaining all of this too.
- 3:36SPEAKER_00: And uh Mercury's in Cancer right now, and and that leads to all sorts of interesting things that Donald explains.
- 3:45SPEAKER_00: So very cool information that Donald gives us uh several days a week, and he's just amazing, and he does um offer readings on his website.
- 3:55SPEAKER_00: So if you go through his website, Donald Patak Freedom Through Astrology.
- 4:00SPEAKER_00: Okay, in tarot space, we were looking at the King of Swords and uh going through still continuing our journey through the swords suite.
- 4:10SPEAKER_00: You know, we get a tarot card pulled once a day there to teach us about tarot and to learn through tarot.
- 4:18SPEAKER_00: This is not a divination sort of exercise, it's an educational one.
- 4:22SPEAKER_00: So we're currently um working through the sword suite, we're almost done, and uh then we'll continue forward after the whole entire deck of tarot is completed.
- 4:33SPEAKER_00: It'll start over again with the first card being, you know, the what do we know about the first card?
- 4:40SPEAKER_00: The fool.
- 4:41SPEAKER_00: So starting new journeys with the fool once again in the tarot space.
- 4:46SPEAKER_00: We also have a brand new feature in digital soul space, and I want to thank Rachel Staples and Anne-Marie Slater for helping to test it out.
- 4:56SPEAKER_00: This feature is kind of cool because we've always, you know, thought about how Facebook has status updates and they have there, you're able to pick a colored background or and put in big text, you know, a status update.
- 5:09SPEAKER_00: And I've always wondered why doesn't Mighty Networks offer that.
- 5:12SPEAKER_00: And so with the help of AI writing a really cool little program, you can now put a little trigger word at the end of your post on a blank line, and it's um you put that trigger word there, which is exclamation point exclaw two exclamation points, DSS magic spelled M-A-G-I-C-K, and another two exclamation points.
- 5:36SPEAKER_00: And what it will do is it will then scan the system every couple of minutes and look for that post and replace your text with an incredibly generated background picture, and it will make a meme for you out of that picture.
- 5:53SPEAKER_00: And the picture is kind of cool because it's generated based on your location.
- 5:57SPEAKER_00: So if you have your location in your profile, it will generate that picture based on the time of day, the weather, and the moon phase where you are.
- 6:07SPEAKER_00: So if you post it at night and there's a crescent moon, guess what?
- 6:10SPEAKER_00: That magical photo, complete with fairies occasionally and magical animals, it will produce a crescent moon in that uh background photo.
- 6:19SPEAKER_00: And it runs every couple of minutes and it just converts that post.
- 6:22SPEAKER_00: It's a little fun feature, and I've been playing with it a lot, and I and I just love it.
- 6:28SPEAKER_00: It's a really cool little way of decorating our feeds.
- 6:32SPEAKER_00: And um, so for those that don't mind AI creating a little photo in the background, that's what it does.
- 6:38SPEAKER_00: So that's a cool little feature, and and we had um um fun with that.
- 6:46SPEAKER_00: Okay, so we've also been talking about fall in digital soul space because a lot of us want the fall to come already, and here in South Florida, that just means uh less humidity.
- 6:58SPEAKER_00: Not really, it feels cooler, but it's not.
- 7:02SPEAKER_00: It's just less humidity.
- 7:04SPEAKER_00: It also means temperatures in the 80s and not the 90s, like it's been really oppressively hot here in South Florida these uh last couple of weeks, and we're also dealing with some drought conditions as well, so that wasn't fun.
- 7:19SPEAKER_00: But anyway, so we're talking about fall in digital soul space.
- 7:23SPEAKER_00: Uh, all the stores are starting to display, you know, like um Halloween and all sorts of cool things, and and it really reminds me of my inner child, and my inner child wants to come out and experience.
- 7:39SPEAKER_00: So we've been talking about Halloween, the inner child experience of that holiday, and and what it means to us, and also the solstice coming up, the um, I'm sorry, the equinox, the autumnal equinox coming up.
- 7:54SPEAKER_00: We it seems like yesterday we were just talking about the summer solstice, and now the autumnal equinox coming up in September, uh, a little over a month away, so that's pretty interesting.
- 8:07SPEAKER_00: So I I so love fall.
- 8:09SPEAKER_00: It's one of my favorite times of the year, especially in South Florida, and for psychics and mediums, I really feel like that this begins the season of of when your abilities start to peak.
- 8:24SPEAKER_00: Uh of course, for me anyway, it starts uh in the in the fall and it continues all the way through Yule.
- 8:33SPEAKER_00: So I just I love this time of year.
- 8:36SPEAKER_00: So we also had some pretty cool um posts going on about just you know, not letting the noise of the everyday block your connection to your guides, finding quiet places to meditate and to connect to them.
- 8:52SPEAKER_00: It's so easy to let you know the news and everything going on in the planet to block our connection to spirit or to interfere with it.
- 9:02SPEAKER_00: And that's why I really recommend you know taking some steps back and trying not to be an information junkie.
- 9:11SPEAKER_00: That's super hard for me because I love um information and I I absorb news.
- 9:18SPEAKER_00: Uh, but the thing is, it started affecting my health, especially this year.
- 9:22SPEAKER_00: I got sick in January and February, March, April, and May.
- 9:26SPEAKER_00: I just got the flu.
- 9:27SPEAKER_00: I got, I mean, you name it, and I started getting it.
- 9:31SPEAKER_00: So it was pretty bad.
- 9:33SPEAKER_00: And I realized, wow, it's because I'm just obsessed with the news.
- 9:36SPEAKER_00: So I literally took a step back and I don't watch the news anymore.
- 9:39SPEAKER_00: Every now and then I will take some in, but I'm really cognizant of what it's doing to my energy field.
- 9:47SPEAKER_00: So I try not to listen to news um in a compulsive way, or I go days without you know watching it or listening to it.
- 9:59SPEAKER_00: So something to think about because it definitely all that negativity definitely interferes with our connection to spirit.
- 10:07SPEAKER_00: What else has been going on?
- 10:09SPEAKER_00: Let's see here.
- 10:10SPEAKER_00: I'm just going through a summary of all our posts and everything and and just being really grateful uh to have this community, and we're approaching five years now, and it's a wonderful way for you to connect with other people who are on a spiritual path, and or maybe you're just starting yours and you want information, or maybe you're going through your awakening.
- 10:33SPEAKER_00: Well, I know when I went through my awakening, it was a pretty interesting experience to say the least.
- 10:40SPEAKER_00: So Digital SocialSpace is a wonderful place to do that.
- 10:43SPEAKER_00: We are ad-free.
- 10:45SPEAKER_00: And how do we how do we do that?
- 10:47SPEAKER_00: How do we because we're funded by member donations, and it's okay if you if you can't donate because you don't have the money and you can't spend the you know, we have different levels.
- 10:57SPEAKER_00: You can pay like five dollars a month, ten dollars, whatever.
- 11:01SPEAKER_00: If you if you don't have the money, that's fine too.
- 11:03SPEAKER_00: You can sign up for free.
- 11:04SPEAKER_00: It's all there.
- 11:05SPEAKER_00: Uh we're compassion is a huge part of being spiritual.
- 11:09SPEAKER_00: Uh, some people forget that, but it's a huge part of being spiritual, and so we offer free memberships to those that can't afford a paying membership.
- 11:21SPEAKER_00: And we're just a really cool place to hang out and and talk about uh spirituality.
- 11:26SPEAKER_00: We do not discuss politics and we don't allow rudeness, so you'll never encounter the sort of sarcasm and nastiness that I've I've experienced on spiritual platforms.
- 11:43SPEAKER_00: I've been on a spiritual platform where my first post, I had about 10 people jumping on me, um insulting me, and I and it was I was like, whoa, what is going on here?
- 11:55SPEAKER_00: I couldn't believe it.
- 11:57SPEAKER_00: And then I had another Reddit uh group that was managed by um some lady that's not in a very nice mood, and she uh insulted me too uh when I answered a question because somebody was actually actually asking about digital source space on Reddit, and I created an account just to answer it, and I got such a nasty response back.
- 12:17SPEAKER_00: So, yeah, we don't allow that uh on our platform, it's just not allowed, and we have moderators that will just say, hey, you know, please don't do that, please don't be rude and nasty.
- 12:30SPEAKER_00: And so our community is a lot of fun and it's a learning environment, and I think I've beat that horse to death.
- 12:38SPEAKER_00: So, with that being said, this is the end of our weekly wrap up, and I hope you'll visit us at digitalsoulspace.org.
- 12:47SPEAKER_00: And we'll see you next time.
- 12:48SPEAKER_00: Have a wonderful and blessed day.
- 12:51SPEAKER_00: Stay cool, and let's all look forward to the fall together.
- 12:55SPEAKER_00: Take care, everybody.
- 12:56SPEAKER_00: Bye bye.
