Hey, it’s Marie Forleo, and you are watching MarieTV, the place to be to create a business
and life you love.
And today I am so excited.
You know why?
The world is ending!
Oh my God!
The Mayans told us the world...
No it’s not, I’m just kidding.
The world is not ending, but many people think it is.
And in a certain respect it is.
But to explain exactly what I’m talking about here and all this craziness, I have
one of my dear friends, Miss Ofie from AstroStyle.com.
Hey hey!
Ofie, thank you so much for being here.
Yeah.
So I know, you know, we’ve talked a lot about this episode on the team about how,
you know, there’s been a lot of conspiracy theories and a lot of websites devoted to
the fact that the Mayan calendar ends.
Is it December 21st?
2012 supposedly.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
And when you and I were talking, because we like to talk about this and we’re fellow
Sagittarius sisters...
Yup, that’s right.
...you were telling me that, in some respects, the world is coming to an end.
Yeah, the world as we know it is ending.
Yes.
Which means, you know, the... the planet ravaging, greedy, you know, whatever I can sound like
a conspiracy theorist already now but... yeah.
No, but it’s kinda good.
So all of that I wanna get it for me and I need to get mine and...
Exactly.
... hold on to it.
That divisiveness is kinda ending.
It’s time for us to work together.
Can’t we all get along?
I know.
Yes.
I’ve got the giggles and, like, we’re talking about this kumbaya stuff now.
No, but I like it.
I love it.
I was gonna say, I happen to be a very kumbaya kinda girl myself.
So astrologically speaking, because one of the things I love about you and your sister,
who you guys work together, is how precise you are with your astrological readings...
Thank you.
...and you’ve given me some great advice over the years as it relates to my business
and my life.
Mmhm.
So tell us a little bit about what’s happening.
So, I know... so it’s ending of this old era.
Can you go a little deeper on that?
Yeah.
It’s actually like a, you know, 26,000 years ago that’s ending.
It’s called the turning of the ages and basically, you know, the Mayans have all these
prophecies and that kinda thing but, you know, even the exact date is not necessarily accurate.
You may have even felt 2012 more in 2011, which is, you know, the idea behind it is
just that, you know, it’s moving people toward oneness and unity and not being so
separate, not only going after our own thing, not destroying the earth in our quest to succeed,
and not, you know, destroying each other thinking we have to compete.
Yes.
And some people say it’s moving from, like, a 3 dimensional to a 4 dimensional reality.
That sounds a little, you know...
I love that though.
It’s kinda cool, right?
And I have to say, it’s really cool.
And I happen to be a fan of everything that has to do with, you know, spirituality and
other worldliness and, of course, sci fi.
Oh yeah.
Now, I’m not saying that’s where you’re going, but talk to me more about... tell me
the difference.
What is 3D versus 4D?
Well, the 3 dimensional world is based on your 5 senses.
It’s everything we can see and touch and smell and taste and experience with our senses.
And that’s what, you know, civilization has been built on so far, the whole, you know,
the business world has been, you know, built on that.
It’s like you provide a service, you get this money.
You have this much in your bank account.
It’s what we can measure and quantify and that sort of thing.
Ok.
And... but as we’ve expanded our consciousness, we’ve gone to the fourth dimension, which
is the energy field around us.
It’s what...
it’s the things that are happening, you know, our friend Gabby Bernstein would call
it manifesting or miracles.
It’s... it’s the things that you know are happening, but you can’t explain them.
You can’t even necessarily say why.
It’s just you have a sense that, you know, you’ve thought of something and then you
see it.
You know?
And...
It happens.
Yeah, it’s a coincidence.
So do you feel that collectively in terms of consciousness then, all of us, hopefully,
are moving towards a greater awareness of energy?
A greater awareness of intuition?
A greater ability to tap into, perhaps, things that we can’t necessarily see or feel?
Is that what I’m...?
I wish I could say that all of us are, but it feels, especially this year, that it’s
getting more and more polarized.
You know?
You even see, like, with the recent hurricane in New York that, you know, some people became
very communal and other people became very even more selfish.
You know?
Like, “Well, I...
I’ve got power,” or whatever.
Right.
So I think the collective consciousness is moving in the direction of being more spiritual
though.
People are, you know, like, I’ll talk to people in my readings about past lives and
they don’t bat an eye.
I’ll sometimes be like, “Well, you know, there’s this part of your chart that deals
with past lives.
I know that might sound a little crazy.”
And they’ll be like, “No, no.
Tell me more.”
So...
And has that changed for you?
Because, you know...
Yeah.
...your experience, you’ve been doing this for a while.
You find that people are a little bit more open?
Yeah.
Interesting.
I don’t have to explain things as much.
They’re like, “Yeah, I get it.”
Or, “I read about that.”
Or, “I did a teleclass.”
I think the internet has helped with that spread of information too.
Awesome.
Yeah.
So, I know you came today helping us prepare for the new world so to speak.
Mmhm.
The year to come and some of the shifts in the consciousness that we’re gonna see.
So let us know, what’s the first thing that we should be paying attention to as we get
ready for the new year?
Well, I think it’s, you know, what you wanna prepare to have or the shifts you wanna prepare
for in yourself.
So what do you need to really thrive in the post 2012 world?
Well, we’re gonna need more spiritual and energetic tools.
You know?
Whether that’s taking a transformational workshop, whether it’s just cultivating
more self awareness, moving your body, you know, listening to your intuition, you know,
wherever you are, just aim to go a little deeper with it or develop it because it is...
it’s actually a business tool now to follow your intuition and be in touch with your purpose
and your soul.
So that’s, you know...
That’s the first step?
Yeah.
So to really deepen our spiritual practice, if we have one, or if we don’t have one,
to get interested in having one and choose one.
Yeah, but it can even be, you know, like, you know, I’m...
I have a hard time meditating.
I don’t like to sit still that much...
I know.
...unless I’m doing something.
Yeah.
But you can be meditating while you’re riding your bike or something.
You know?
Someone called it a moving meditation.
Yes.
You know, whatever it is that gets you in the zone.
Cool.
There’s no... you don’t have to sit on a cushion and ohm, but if you want to go ahead.
You know?
Right.
So that’s one thing.
Another thing is, you know, I like to say, you know, to move from waiting to creating.
You know, a lot of the times in a 3 dimensional world we’ve been taught you wait for your
paycheck, you wait for your clients to come, you... you wait and things happen.
And in a 4D world, we have to acknowledge we have a lot more power than that.
You know?
We need to actually be the ones to go out and... and just, it’s like you’re tuning
your energetic field a little.
You know?
Like, you can... we can actually bend time.
Well, I love this.
Yeah.
Let’s talk about creating versus waiting for a minute, because that’s really exciting
for me as a girl who loves to kind of take control of situations and make things happen.
I think that it... also, it’s really healthy.
Rather than being passive and expecting the world to deliver things to us or, you know,
expecting things to just happen just because we’re sitting around, to actually go into
the action of creating it or cocreating it with people around us...
Exactly.
...and with the universe in general.
Exactly.
And that’s, you know, the myth of aloneness is the thing that 2012 is really about, you
know, trying to do away with.
The higher energy of 2012, it’s like we’re always in relationship with people whether
we acknowledge it or not.
So, you know, and we’re always cocreating with the universe even when we worry...
Yeah.
...we’re cocreating blocks.
You know?
I was on my way here and we hit all this traffic and I found myself, you know, be like, “Oh,
shoot.
I’m gonna be late,” and this and that.
And so I was like, “Let me email them over there and tell them there’s some traffic,”
and then instantly the traffic cleared up.
Because that’s, you know, because I moved the energy out of my mind, the block out of
my mind that was picturing that.
I love that.
Yeah.
So you took your worry, which could be like a form of waiting or cocreating even more
worry or more blockages and you said, “Let me just send them an email.”
And I have to tell you, we didn’t even notice because...
Exactly.
...we were doing our previous interview, everything was running smoothly.
But that’s great, really, really great.
Yeah.
So when you feel negative energy in your body, we all need to get more in tune with our bodies
too.
And, you know, I’m a girl who likes to eat for pleasure whatever I find but, you know,
like, you know, feeding your body living things is important too, moving it, you know, you
know from your own past...
In dance.
...in fitness and dance, so.
Absolutely.
You know, how you can receive more messages from that fourth dimension when you’re in
touch with your body, because the body houses the emotions and intuitions.
Yes.
So, you know, learn about the chakras.
I know that sounds a little funny, but, like, each one does represent, you know, if your
chest is constricted, maybe you have some blocked heart energy.
You know, I’ve started to just... that kinda stuff has started just to come out of my mouth
in my readings with people and I’ve started to just let those sort of blurts come out
and it’s important that we all do that.
You know?
Yeah.
And I do wanna just put a little pin in this idea that so much wisdom lives in our bodies.
It’s something that I did learn a lot through fitness and in my career in dance, but also
my...
my honey, my fiance Josh Pice, one of the things that he taught me was that intuition
and creativity live in your body, not in your mind.
And I’ve... that’s always stuck with me.
And I know that whenever I find myself blocked, if I build in more working out or more movement
or more dance, everything seems to flow better.
Exactly.
So I’m happy to hear that that’s one of the things that we can all collectively do
to really thrive in the new year.
Absolutely.
And it... even if it’s just a little dance party for 5 minutes or something like that.
Dance break!
We all love a dance break, I mean, you know, that scene is frivolous in a 3D world but
in a 4D world it’s actually an intelligent thing to do.
It’s part of business.
You know?
Yay!
Thank sweet heavens!
I know!
That’s awesome!
It’s like work in a beautiful place, take in beauty, this...
I’m hoping that 2012 is the end of the cubicle era, but I hope... but I know it won’t be.
But, you know, let’s move away from it.
Like, why not have flowers, a chandelier, pretty things, a pet?
You know?
Whatever...
Yeah.
...to, you know, if that stimulates your productivity and creativity, you know, I think the virtual
working situation a lot of people can do has allowed us to put ourselves in environments
that stimulate that flow, so.
Yes.
That flow of energy.
I love it, that’s awesome.
So let’s talk a little bit, I know you had mentioned our ability to bend time.
Yeah.
Mmhm.
And that was something, you know, my taxicab example was bending time.
We bend, you know, in a 3D world, time is just a finite, scarce resource.
Yes.
There’s 24 hours in the day.
Although I’ve heard people say, “Well, the president has the same 24 hours in the
day as you do.”
Yes.
Which is a good point.
Yes.
But in a 4D world, time is really...
it’s liquid, it’s elastic.
It’s like have you ever noticed, you know, when you’re bored it’s like the day drags
on forever.
Yes.
But when you’re in the zone you’re like, “Oh, wow.”
No, you know...
It flew.
Yeah.
Exactly.
So there’s kind of this more awareness of fluidity and, with your taxicab example, you
know...
Yeah.
...it’s like the traffic cleared up and you were able to move much more swiftly...
Mmhm.
...seemingly pretty quick.
But I also wanted to be where I was going, so that has a lot to do with it too.
You know, knowing your purpose, that’s what I help people with a lot in the readings.
Yes.
And as we talked about in your reading, there are two points in the chart.
These two destiny points called the north and the south node.
They’re actually the poles of the moon.
And one is what you were in your past lives and one is what your...
what your ultimate karmic purpose is in this lifetime.
I love that.
It’s really awesome.
They change every 18 months so, you know, you come in with this sole group of people,
within 18 months of your birth...
18, 19 months, and you’re all here to sort of move away from this energy that you...
well let’s...
I wouldn’t say move away.
It’s like... should I give an example?
Sure.
Absolutely.
So you have a Taurus south node and a Scorpio north node.
They’re always opposites.
So your past life energy is Taurus and Taurus is all about the material.
It actually is the 3D world.
They’re both signs of money and abundance, but Taurus is, like, the money you make, like,
in a paycheck.
It’s... it’s Wall Street, it’s the old money, it’s the you do this work, you get
this amount.
And you know you have a very traditional business background.
So, you know, that’s your expertise from all these past lives.
You may have been a banker in a past life or something like that.
Interesting.
I know.
So we gravitate toward that, but then we feel like this... there’s gotta be more than
this.
And that’s when we start to realize that, you know, signs of our north node.
Your north node is Scorpio.
Scorpio is a sign of transformation, spirituality, other people’s money, collective resources,
you know, pooling resources, helping people transform scarcity conversations.
So... so here you’ve come from this Taurus background and maybe you weren’t as into
spirituality at first and you’ve gradually grown more interested in it because this...
you’ve found that that’s your purpose.
So you’re helping people transform their feelings about money into a more spiritual,
meaningful way.
Yes.
Well, that’s certainly true.
It’s been true of my work, I think, for certainly the past 4 years, but it seems to
be growing more and more in that direction, which is fascinating.
Yeah.
So I think you... do you have a resource on your site that people can...?
Yeah, I do.
That people can find out their own north and south nodes?
Yup.
Ok.
It’s on the homepage, you can scroll down where it says “past life astrology.”
You can go to the features section.
Yes.
So what we’ll do if you’re watching now and you’re like, “Oh my God, I wanna find
my own nodes!”
Don’t worry about it.
Under this episode we’re gonna put a link and give you directions, so no need to scramble.
Absolutely.
You do wanna find it, it’s a beautiful, shortcut to be like, “This is what I’m
here for.
Ok.
And this is what I have to struggle with or overcome or, you know, merge together to get
there.”
So you’re never gonna abandon your Taurus south node business skills, but you’re gonna
give them to women, you’re gonna bring them to giving back and that kinda thing, so.
Ok, so Ofie, awesome.
I know you’ve got two more ways to help us thrive in this post 2012 world.
Yup.
So one way is to really join forces and resources with people.
You know, it’s the end of the doing it all alone...
Yes.
...get my little corner of the earth and hold onto it.
You know?
Yeah.
The joy of the 4D world is in sharing and having community.
I love that...
Yeah.
...because I am such a big collaborator and I love hanging out with people...
Totally.
...and I have to say, you know, one of my experiences with the recent hurricane not
too long ago was just so many groups of friends sharing resources.
And not even friends, but people in the neighborhood and just the community coming together.
Yeah.
And I just felt my heart just overflowing with love and it was amazing.
My dad is Israeli, he grew up on a kibbutz.
And it’s a little more structured, but I think a little bit of that model...
Yeah.
...where, you know, a bunch of moms help each other take care of the kids or dads too or...
Yeah.
...you know, you’ve got a desk, I need a desk.
Let’s work together in the zone, let’s set the rules, we’ll do quiet time from
this... you know?
Yeah.
Like, work it out.
Do some potlucks, do some rideshares, you know, whatever it is that you need.
It reduces the carbon footprint and you have more fun.
Yeah.
Oh, I love that.
Yeah.
Ok, so sharing resources, and what’s the second one?
Yeah.
And then the last one is, you know, the one baby... we don’t wanna throw out with the
bathwater of the 3D world is the sensuality of being around other people.
You know, we’re... it’s a virtual world, it’s a beautiful thing, but we need some
real, live human interaction.
You know?
Yes.
Mother Teresa said the most terrible poverty is loneliness, and I really like that quote.
I love that.
Loneliness and feeling unloved.
And when you isolate yourself, that’s what happens.
So, you know, we need to actually be a lot more proactive about creating communities
that are open and welcoming and self sustaining.
And, you know, and not competing but helping each other be competitive and all win and
thrive.
Yes.
Utopian, sure, but hey.
Yeah.
I’m a Sag, that’s how I like it.
That’s right.
But I like that spending more time with real people because I think, again, for all of
us, especially if we have businesses that we can run from our homes or we kind of work
in a way where we’re just in the computer, you know, 8, 10, 12 hours a day and then you
go home and you’re kind of just beat, you know, having a full social life and hanging
out with real live people sometimes you don’t really make it a priority.
But I love to hear that that’s part of thriving in our post 2012 world.
Definitely.
So you know what we like to do here on MarieTV, we always like to challenge our audience to
take the wisdom of today and put it into practice.
So here’s what we’ve got for you today.
I want you to choose just one of the ways that Ofie shared with us about how you can
thrive in a post 2012 world and tell us about it in the comments below.
So do you want to deepen a spiritual practice?
Do you wanna really focus on sharing more resources or maybe it’s about making some
time in person with other people more of a priority.
So think about what really resonated for you and tell us what’s the one piece that you’re
gonna focus on to help yourself thrive in 2013 and beyond.
So, Ofie, thank you so much for being here today.
Oh, thank you.
It’s awesome.
I’m really happy to know that the world isn’t really ending and it’s really exciting
to hear about the 4 dimensional world which is a lot more in tune with energy, a lot more
in tune with some fun things that I don’t think many of us have played that much with
yet.
No.
There’s a lot more to go.
It’s awesome.
Get us to 5D.
Yes, whatever the hell that is.
Exactly.
It sounds awesome.
Yeah.
