546. The Spiritual Ride Can Get Bumpy | Unexpected Challenges Along the Path
Spiritual awakening is rarely a straight line, and believing that one teacher, one organization, or one method will take you all the way to enlightenment can actually slow your growth.
In this Soul Elevation livestream, Kara Goodwin explores the reality of spiritual progression, including why many seekers eventually feel stuck, disillusioned, or spiritually unfulfilled even after powerful early awakenings. Drawing from her own journey through spiritual organizations, including experiences with authentic lineages and later recognizing cult dynamics, Kara shares critical insights on discernment, sovereignty, and reclaiming personal spiritual authority.
She reflects on her early experiences with the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda, the profound transmissions she received, and why fixed spiritual systems can eventually create energetic ceilings as human consciousness evolves. This episode also addresses how society, media, and control structures subtly discourage spiritual empowerment and why awakened individuals often feel increasingly disconnected from mainstream culture.
This conversation is for anyone questioning their spiritual path, feeling unfulfilled despite deep practice, or sensing that it may be time to expand beyond comfort and conditioning.
✨ Topics covered include:
Why spiritual growth is not linear
When devotion turns into stagnation
The difference between guidance and control
Recognizing cult red flags in spiritual communities
Reclaiming sovereignty and inner authority
How society resists conscious empowerment
Letting go of old relationships as you evolve
Finding soul-aligned community as you awaken
