Deciphering Saturn, The Twin Flame Trap & The Architecture of Trust - Quest i on 22 JAN 26

In this episode of Quest-i-on, we dismantle the external structures we use to validate our internal reality. From the heavy lead of Saturn to the volatile concept of Twin Flames, we are tracing these narratives back to their mechanisms to see what holds up to scrutiny and what is simply spiritual bypassing.

We open with an alchemical decode of "Saturn" by Sleeping at Last, analyzing the archetype of the Threshold Guardian and the necessity of restriction (Lead) to create the gold of consciousness.

From there, we pivot to the architecture of authority. Why do we trust degrees over resonance? When does a teacher become a crutch? We explore the fine line between facilitating learning and creating a religion, and why the ultimate goal of any true guide is to become obsolete.

Finally, we tackle the "Twin Flame" phenomenon. We look at this through the lens of attachment theory, questioning whether we are seeking a divine mirror or simply spiritualizing our insecure attachment styles.

Quest-i-on — Weekly Live Series

Questions aren’t just curiosities—they’re invitations. Any genuine question cracks the door for the divine to answer. As Ieshua (Jesus) said in Matthew 7:7 (Christ = 77): “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.”

So each week, we’re leaning into that promise together. We’ll ask Quest-i-ons on this grand Quest I am ON—turning toward illuminating the single (i) eye, just as Matthew 6:22 teaches: “If thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.”

I’ll show up and give the clearest, most grounded answer I can. And when we don’t land on an answer right away, that’s fine—we just moved one step closer.

This is an open Q+A and open discussion—anything, any topic, any angle. If it’s sincere, it belongs here.

Priority goes to those who join live and ask in real time. But if you can’t make it and still want your question in the mix, drop it in the comments or send it to t.me/JustinCarpenter

Let’s ask, seek, knock—and see what opens.
