The Abdi Assadi Podcast

This podcast is a continuation of the discussion of ways to keep the sovereignty of our psyche by being fully present in the moment. A snapshot of our present circumstances is discussed as well as tools to navigate the rapids we are currently voyaging on. It then delves into the importance of attending to our inner compass in a world hell-bent on manipulating us away from our true nature. The ending intent of this episode: We are sovereign beings and we do not consent to the manipulation of our psyches, our emotions nor any part of our being.  And as we ask, so it shall be and so it is. As always a big thank you to Ian Ritter for the editing and posting of these podcasts over the years.

This podcast is a read of the underlying current of our world and some pointers on our role in healing it and ourselves.

The following podcast episode is an interview by Rebecca Conran, CHHC on the rapid introduction of Artificial Intelligence and its effects on the human psyche and agency through the lens of Astrology as archetype.
