The Moon Garden Lounge

Oh Mika, I'm so happy you don't hate me. ;D

That picture along with that quote turns my soul to jelly. Thank you.

What a beautiful place this is. Hello everyone. I blame mika, the shaman image inspired this response.

I was wondering if people here would be interested in looking at our reactions to Adam from the perspective of "energy", because we often talk about him in exactly those terms. I found this article in 2009, it is an auric reading. I'm not so much interested in a discussion of the merits or otherwise of that particular way of seeing someone, but of the content itself.

The blog can be found at: www.rose-rosetree.com/blog/2009/06/27/aura-reading-adam-lambert-american-idol/

Aura Reading at the Throat Chakra: Singing Charisma
Adam has a fascinating gift. He’s a boundary smasher and a transformer. He especially helps people to connect to sexuality in a particular way: overcoming shame about sex.

The overall message transmitted through his throat chakra could be summarized this way:

Maybe you approve of my sexuality, maybe you don’t. Maybe you need to judge me. I no longer need to judge myself. The way I am is something I accept now. I can give love, and value the love that I give. I can receive love, because I now feel that I am worthy. And don’t even think about taking away my power, due to your judgments, because I claim my personal power. Nobody is going to take it away. If you try, I’ll fight you, and I’ll win.

If anyone in the audience has conscious or subconscious issues about sex being bad, Adam brings healing power. In his own personal history (of which I know nothing, at this point), it appears that aspect of life has been a major theme for his personal learning.

Obviously, Adam has suffered from feeling “dirty” and sexually shamed. His aura also reveals how Adam has used courage and honesty to overcome this, along with other magnificent gifts that will show in the chakra readings to come.

Aura Reading at the Root Chakra: Stage Presence
Performing is very, very personal for Adam. He’s projecting his personality loud and clear, through every note. He’s almost daring the audience:

Decide if you like me or not. If you don’t, f___ you!

Aura Reading at the Solar Plexus Chakra: Handling Conflict
Adam is a contrarian, a disruptor, living on the Ray of Shiva like Steven Colbert and Jon Stewart. Probably Adam has been causing chaos his whole life, making people uncomfortable on purpose — just to see what will happen next. Conflict doesn’t scare him. In fact, it makes him feel more alive.

And since most people cringe at conflict, Adam’s fearlessness gives him a decided advantage. With his long history as a disruptor in this lifetime, Adam plays with how people react to him. Being popular doesn’t matter to him as much as being noticed.

Expect him to sing and act outrageously, doing everything he can to move your energy as a listener.

Aura Reading at the Belly Chakra: Sex Appeal
The boy has talent. When he sings, a huge blast of sexual energy pours through him, and Adam has learned to be pretty comfortable with letting this happen. It’s a wake-up call to be more alive, not only about sex at all.

Life on earth for us humans can be fueled by two different types of energy, spiritual oomph that comes in through the crown chakra and earthly, animal oomph, a.k.a. sexual energy. That enters through the root chakra.

Because of Adam’s fearlessness, this earth-based energy moves through him during a song, energy ample as an ocean wave, energy swelling to fill the auditorium, energy overflowing into the people watching at home through their screens.

PERFORMANCE POWER
During Britney’s Spear’s greatest fame, I read a quote from the actor Jack Nicholson. The gist was that he was convinced that sex with Britney would be so powerful as to bring on a “life changing experience.”

Jack is famously enthusiastic about his pleasures, and this might well be true for him. As a simple Aura Reading observer of celebrities, I never felt that Britney’s energetic performance matched her provocative moves. With all respect to her drive and hard work, Britney reminded me more of a well-trained seal, a performer with the coordination and practice to make certain moves as required. These moves would set off certain responses in the viewer or listener.

With Britney, as with many performers, including the winning contestant, Kris Allen, success doesn’t involve energy at all. The performer succeeds with the technical part, doing every calculated bit of stage business, setting off viewer responses.

Sometimes a viewer will find this kind of performance extremely satisfying. The viewer is free to project any kind of energy experience or relationship with the performer. The viewer doesn’t have to change much, accept much. Instead, certain responses are being manipulated and the rest of the sequence is open.

Think of the High School Musical style of movie. It’s entertainment with a slick surface and not much within, leaving the viewer maximum power to project the desired emotional and energetic and sexual content. Or not.

Adam is a different kind of performer, more like James Brown or Elvis, where energy pours through him into the audience. Or, for that matter, the fascinating James Taylor. For such a singer, vocal technique (however marvellous) is quite secondary. Audience members will receive a strong experience, at a particular frequency. They WILL be changed.

If they resist, they will find the performer extremely annoying. Such a performer is not a blank screen for projecting a viewer’s unmet needs. In Adam’s case, the quality of sexual energy that he especially processes is pure — and totally unapologetic – ”bad boy.”

After Hearing Him Sing
Sexual orientation isn’t something I like reading from auras, because male-female and gay-straight are continuums of energy, quite separate from a person’s self-aware sexual identity. So I’m not commenting here about either singer’s sexual orientation but about a difference of vibe.

Will Adam’s very guy-oriented, energetic flow through singing wake you up or make you squirm? It really depends on whether your aura is in the mood for a sexual-wakeup call from a bad boy.

OK, gang ...

A couple of people in private messages last night expressed a concern about our Welcome Mat statement. That it, in essence, leaves the door open for [searches for politically correct bullshit term to insert -- aha!] individuals to come in and bludgeon the thread out of existence take it over as the community at large searches for safe places to post their thoughts.

I am not sure there is any combination of words and letters that could prevent that, but I decided to take another crack at it. See what you think. Suggestions? The addition is in blue. Once we agree on something I will ask Jamie to put it in the original post under the Moon picture.

The Moon Garden Lounge is dedicated to the discussion of ALL things Adam, broadly defined, from the serious to the fun-loving. Nothing is sacred, including the idea that nothing is sacred. There are no limits on the ideas that can be expressed or the questions that can be asked here. Here is the place for talking about the whole tapestry of Adam, his journey, and your own.

All the normal Adamtopia rules apply here. Please respect the fact that freedom of thought and development of ideas require peace, tolerance, space, equality, and compassion. You are in the same room here with your fellow human beings. This is a place for respect, for wit, for intelligence, for having a good time. Talk to each other like we're all having a drink at the same table.

Everyone is welcome and you don't have to be an egghead -- just order your adult beverage of choice -- coffee, tea, or something stronger -- and join right in.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the place for me?

If it looks fun to you, probably yes. If it doesn't look fun, probably no and that is OK. Most of us post on lots of other threads and we'll see you there!

How is this thread different from The Dark Side thread?

This thread took root in another thread called The Dark Side, which was created so people who needed to vent their frustrations about this Adam journey could share and discuss those ideas in a safe place.

It turned out that Adam fans come in many different flavors. So that EVERYONE could speak freely and have fun, we divided into two threads. Many people post in both!

The Dark Side is a great place where news and opinions that might be considered too unpopular or negative on other threads can be discussed and analyzed freely and in-depth. Want to start off your day with a good debate? Well, what are you waiting for?!

The Moon Garden Lounge is a place for the dreamers and rainbow chasers ... a place where some see things that are and ask why ... and others see things that never were and ask, why not? Kick back and relax...general conversation and drinks all around...on the house.

Don't like either one? That's OK too! All we ask is that both spaces be allowed to exist for fans that may be a different flavor than you. 



Nikki,

I heart your post..chakras, auras, energy..I am most at home in this area since I have studied and practiced extensively in energy modalities. Gotta run for now..sorry..I'll be back to talk more about this yummy post.

Junie, Mwah for opening discussion on what people expect from this thread and how it should be stated on the welcoming mat! Again, I have to run for now..RL.. :-/ but I want to support you on this, so I'll be back to read more thoroughly and comment. I think the qualifier you have written so far is excellent and necessary.


Moon Garden!!
