The Life You Were Meant To Create

Why do we spend our lives trapped in the gap between what we know intellectually and the results we actually experience? It is time to stop waiting for the external world to notice you. In this session, I introduces a practical framework to master your personal resonance, implement a strict spiritual diet, and consciously script your reality. Enjoy!

I'm Bassem. I'm a transcultural and mental health consultant for over 40 years now. I've worked at the intersection of consciousness science and deep somatic mental health, Meditation, Breath work. And more recently, I facilitate an online community called Uvolve Global, Designed for creatives, Leaders, And visionaries who want to author a more conscious and intentional Destiny. For many, The idea of authoring a destiny is quite novel. We believe that destiny is something that's written already. That's at least the common narrative that we inherit, That we're born into. Destiny is set. You have no responsibility to it other than to see yourself through the experience. Do the best you can. Over the past year, Following the stroke that I experienced in Sydney July of last year, Year, My 60th birthday, I've come to understand that actually destiny is not what we think at all. Destiny is not something that's already written. Rather, Destiny requires us to author it, To script it. It's a bit of a mind bend for many, And for others, It's a light bulb moment. It explains why their lives simply have not been working, Why they feel abandoned or neglected, Waiting for for the external world to notice them. What I discovered a few months ago in Vietnam, In Da Nang, Where I was receiving acupuncture treatments for my condition at the time, Was that destiny can't guide you because destiny has not yet been written. So how can it guide you when it has not yet been written? What I learned was, In fact, Our life can't truly begin until we author our destiny. We sit down and do the work of fleshing out the details of what we would like to experience. So this is one of the things that explains, Gives a reason to why our lives feel so barren, So difficult. We're led to believe that's just how life is, That life is a struggle. And yet when you look around you, Nature contradicts this idea. It says actually life is flow. Everything in nature is following an internal code of conduct. Everything is guided by an internal compass of being. Only men, Women, Seem to make a mess of things, Largely because of these distorted ideas we inherit. We don't think to examine, To explore, To inquire into their truth. I've spent a lifetime exploring these ideas, Examining them, And I've come to see that, For the most part, They fall on the wayside. Not only are they incomplete, They're distorted and quite often lead us on the wrong path. It also explains why war has become a standard and why our global frequency output, Our resonance, Is so low-grade. And this is, Of course, The second reason and perhaps even more important, Why our lives seem to be stuck in a rut. Because we are trapped in a global resonance output, A threshold that doesn't allow us to realize the truth about who we are, What we are, And what we're capable of. So we lead these compromised lives trapped within this low-grade frequency output, This threshold, What some people call the matrix. But the idea of resonance is not at all wishful thinking. It's very real. It's science. Resonance, In fact, Is our most potent superpower. Those who understand the true meaning of resonance can do anything. Today's conversation is titled The Life You Were Born to Live, Or That You Were Meant to Live, Rather, Tailored around the IC and the MC in astrology. Your destiny, It's your mission, The contribution you came here as a soul to make, And your IC, The other end, Is your roots, Your ancestral line, Your foundation. It's the most private domain of your life. The IC and the MC answer two important questions that most people spend a lifetime circling around. From whence did I hail? What's my background, My ancestral line, My roots? And why am I here? And what am I building on? We don't build in a vacuum. We belong to an ancestral line that we stand at the forefront of, That we are guiding towards either a new direction. I like in Australia what the Aborigines have to say about this. They say we heal seven generations back and we are responsible seven generations forward. My experience in mental health, Rebirthing breathwork in particular, This is poignant and true. I've been practicing astrology for over 35 years now, And Personal Alchemy uses the 12 houses in astrology as a framework for authoring a new destiny of designing our life, Fleshing out the details. The IC and the MC axis refer to the fourth house out of 12 houses, And the MC is the 10th house. Of the natal chart. So if you know your natal chart, It's that circle that an astrologer calculates. To the exact time and location of your birth. And the very top of the chart, The highest point, Is called the mid-haven. This is one of the most important points in the chart, Alongside the ascendant, The first house, And the descendant, The seventh house. So the ascendant, Descendant, The MC, And the IC. These are the four cardinal points in the natural chart. Now, If you think of the axis of the MC the IC as a tree, You really start to appreciate what we are talking about. The IC is your roots, Your family tradition, Your ancestral line, If you want to go back that far even. And the MC at the very top is the very top of the tree. It's your yield. It's your harvest. It's your public persona, Your public life. So the IC, Your roots, And the MC is the top of the tree. Begins in the first house and ends in the twelfth house. When I say ends, That particular cycle of soul incarnation ends. It doesn't mean life ends. It means that this particular cycle of incarnation ends and a new one begins again with the first house. To give you a clearer idea of what we are referring to, Think of the first house as the seed of your being. The second house is the soil. Should be rich and potent. The Third House is your gardener, That which connects the seed to the soil. The fourth house is the shoot. The fifth house continues this 12-house journey. The fourth house and the MC are really important when we are trying to determine why we are here and what we are doing. The MC is your yield, It's your harvest, It's your professional life, That which you came here in order to contribute, To share. Now the sign in the IC, The fourth house, And the sign at the MC, The top of the chart, Are important because they describe the qualities that are associated with that particular sign. Another important thing to look at when you're studying your IC and your MC is the aspects. These are the relational geometric patterns that the planets make with each other at the time of your birth. Both. Tree as we've described it think of it as you're an orange tree or a mandarin and you're here to share mandarins with the world in the 11th house the community if you are a pineapple you're here to share pineapples the mc the 10th house is the top of the mountain that you climb it's also the vision that you glimpse of what is possible and then you come down the mountain into the 11th house and you integrate or share that vision with the world. So the MC is your yield. It's what you do, Your purpose to use that language. I don't use the house systems in a traditional way. I use them as 12 distinct life departments. There are 12 facets of human experience, Myself, My money, My security, My neighborhood, My mind, My family, My creativity, My health, And my relationships. My partner, Marriage, My transformation, My philosophy, My professional life, 10th house, My vision, 11th house, And 12th house finally is spiritual ascension or spiritual realization. I often say there are two death houses, The 8th and the 12th. The 8th is the death of the ego or the transformation of the ego into a soul in service and the 12th is the dissolution of the soul into the oceanic reality. So 12, Because there are 12 life departments and the houses also represent ideas of progress and movement, The circle itself in the natal chart is space and the divisions give us time and the idea of progress and movement and change. I use it as a life coaching framework and this is in keeping with personal alchemy, The program and the community. I join the most ancient system of astrology with the most modern solution-focused life coaching to create this really incredible intuitive framework. The MC is the summit. It's the top of the mountain that you climb. It's the most visible thing about you, But visible in terms of produce, In terms of harvest. This is why I love the idea of a tree because The fourth house in the IC, It's roots, So you get a sense of deep roots traced back to our ancestral line. It's the most private, Hidden part of the natal chart and our human experience. It's our family tradition. And that's why we think of the fifth house as individuation, To use that term coined by Carl Jung. The fifth house is where we begin to distinguish ourselves from our family tradition. This is where we begin to experience ourselves in our own right. So if the fourth house is the roots, The deeper the roots are, The stronger the tree axis is. But we're building on our roots towards the MC, Towards the top of the tree. And so it's not just our yield. It's not just our harvest. Indeed, It's the harvest of our ancestral line. For example, I've got Pisces at the top of the chart, The MC. So my yield is Piscean. My roots is Virgo. It dates back all the way to, In terms of my family tradition, Turkey, Syria. They were the aristocrats in Turkey, The decision makers before they fell from power when they had to flee when Turkey was attacked. It's going back to the ancestral line. And then on my father's side, Mu'allas, The elevated ones, It's an Arabic word, Mu'alla, And they are from the Syrian part. Before also they fell from grace and they escaped to Lebanon. So my own lineage, My own roots carry all this memory, Not only of the elevated roles that these people played, But also their fall from grace. And I can really see this in my brothers and sisters. I have nine brothers and sisters, And eight of us are teachers intent on sharing our message, And very proud brothers and sisters. That pride is ancient, And that want to share and to teach is a part of my family tradition. It's my roots. So you get to understand yourself that way. And with Pisces at the top of the chart, It's more of a creative, Spiritual orientation. This is what most people see about me. That's the fruit that my roots is activating. So you can study your chart this way. Think of it as the root of your lineage, The IC. If you're serious about this, It requires you to make a study of your family line, Your family tree. Most people, Let's face it, Live lives of chance, Hoping for the best, Hoping to meet the right person, Hoping for a promotion, Living on hope, Praying, Waiting to be noticed by the external world. It's a very defeatist victim-centric attitude, Which describes our current global resonance output that we are trapped in, Which we can safely say is responsible for our butchering each other. That's why it's very important to protect your frequency, Your resonance. Once you've started to work on that consciously, It's important for you to protect against the disturbances of this low-grade global output. For example, Most people have the social networks, TikTok and Facebook and Instagram at the ready, Right next to their bed. So they are continuously available to low-grade resonance. But once you start to work on your resonance, It's crucial that you delete these delivery frameworks. I have only YouTube because I can choose to access the resonance of the masters. And I have also LinkedIn recently because I'm beginning to use that for the community. When you are already when you've had enough of being quarantined, If you will, To use a word that the teacher Gurdjieff used when he said that our consciousness is quarantined. We're not allowed to vibrate higher in order to join the greater civilizations out there. We are vibrating globally at a particular frequency, Which is conducive to death and killing and butchering. Some are beginning to break out of that. They're making So, At least for a definite period of time, I must not permit any of these disturbances. You can surround yourself by high-frequency resonance. For example, The masters, They can be great support, Wonderful resonance. So, To just ensure that you're only permitting this quality of vibration into your field. You keep resonating higher without the weeds continuing to interfere with why your 40 years meditations don't work and why all the inner work that you have done over a lifetime can't help you. On the one hand, You sit and meditate, And on the other hand, You then open up to these delivery frameworks. But now we have an opportunity to control what we diet. On. I call it spiritual dieting. The vast majority of people are dieting on really low-grade spiritual and informational content. And this is the reason why people meditate for 30 years and nothing happens. It just keeps them afloat. If you're serious about this, If you're serious about knowing the truth about you, You have to break out of this current frequency output. There's no deserving. Life is lawful. Lower resonance accesses higher possibilities. Lower resonance accesses lower dimensions. Practices like meditation, Astrology, Breathwork, Journaling, Daily kindness, Daily gratitude, Particularly when they are incorporated as part of a program for a length of time, 21 days is the neuroplasticity mark, Then flowering can happen, A harvest can come about. It's for this reason why also many people exist the tension between what they know intellectually and how they live the results in their life. For all that I know, If it can't help me in this time of crisis, What on earth is it good for? What's the point of it? So we exist in this tension and this gap between intellectual knowledge and how we live. You can do a personal alchemy on your own, You could do it with a coach, Or you could do it also in the community. We meet fortnightly. Each month is dedicated to a particular house, A one year journey, One year program. Don't leave it just to intellectual knowledge. What I share here is true enlivened curiosity. The real work is different. So I invite you to go deeper. We don't need less people resonating. A higher frequency. We need more. And you cut out the social media disturbances, Then. . . Doing this will help you to sustain a certain resonance, A certain frequency. It will keep you vibing. But if you're not doing that, Then this is inflammation. It's not embodied work. I invite you to join me in my work. Take care. Bye-bye for now. I believe the next live. Is your moon sign. The Abandoned Inner Child. We'll talk about the role that the moon plays in your natal chart. Thank you.
