I have my Personality Nodes in the first lines of the 11 and 12 which makes it a psychological theme that deeply colours my life. There are moments in life when something we long for begins to feel real before it is actually ours.In my case, it was a house that caught my imagination over the past month. But is can be a relationship that starts to take shape, a new career path that opens before us. We begin to inhabit a future that has not yet arrived. We furnish the rooms in our minds, walk the halls of possibility, and quietly rearrange our lives around what might be.Then something changes.A door closes. New information emerges. Circumstances shift. What seemed certain becomes uncertain, or disappears altogether.The loss can feel surprisingly intense. Not because we have lost something we possessed, but because we have lost something we had already begun to live inside.This is the psychological experience I think of as “falling out of Eden.” And under the actual Nodal Perspective in Gates 59 and 55, it can feel particularly intensified. The biblical story of Eden is not only a religious myth; it is also a profound description of a recurring human experience. Eden represents a state of harmony in which life appears coherent, meaningful, and aligned. There is little tension between desire and reality. We feel we know where we are going.The Fall occurs when that certainty is broken and the actual nodal environment brings forward uncertainty through the 55th Gate in the North Node.What makes this experience so painful is that we are rarely mourning only the object itself. We are mourning an entire future. We grieve the life we imagined, the identity we were growing into, the story we had already begun to tell ourselves.When this happens, the mind often enters a familiar sequence.First comes disbelief. There must be a mistake. Surely things are not as they seem.Then comes investigation. We replay conversations, search for missing information, and try to understand what happened. We look for the moment where the story changed.Next comes idealisation. The lost possibility becomes even more beautiful in hindsight. The house becomes perfect. The relationship becomes extraordinary. The path not taken begins to glow with a special kind of light.What we are really trying to recover is not the thing itself but the feeling of certainty it provided.At a deeper level, every experience of disappointment reawakens a very old human truth: life is uncertain and transitory at all level. We cannot possess the future in advance. We can imagine it, hope for it, and move toward it, but we cannot guarantee it.Yet there is another side to the story.The goal is not necessarily to return to Eden.Most myths of transformation do not end with a return to paradise. They end with greater consciousness. The protagonist learns that certainty is fragile, that loss is inevitable, and that meaning must be found not in guarantees but in engagement with life itself.The paradox is that the loss of an imagined future often returns us to the present.We stop living inside a possibility and begin living inside reality again.This does not mean abandoning hope. It means holding hope differently. Less as a promise and more as an invitation. Less as a certainty and more as a path.Perhaps maturity is not learning how to avoid falling out of Eden. Perhaps it is learning that every paradise we lose makes room for a deeper relationship with what is real.And sometimes, what is real has possibilities we could not yet imagine while we were busy dreaming of only one.__________________________________________________________________________________________Curious to learn more about the Channels and Gates of the Bodygraph, Section II of my book is dedicated to exploring them in depth!The Neutrino Weather for this week is available to the Inner Circle.This week, the Neutrino Weather seems to be inviting us to look deeper into our opinionated and ideological stances in life so that we can awaken to something larger than our confined sense of self [See the Neutrino Weather full video in the inner circle bellow]* Instant access to the full archive of previous posts* Two live Zoom gatherings per month (bring your Bodygraph for live commentary + Q&A this coming Sunday at 10 am Madrid time)For anyone subscribing to my newsletter (inner circle), I would like to inform you that you are invited to assist and bring your own Bodygraph and questions LIVE, every two weeks.
