592. Beyond the Veil: Consciousness Expansion, Higher Consciousness & Spiritual Awakening

0
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Hello, and welcome to Soul Elevation: Guiding Your Ascension to New Heights. I'm your host Kara Goodwin, and I'm recording this as a live stream on YouTube on Friday, May 28th. I'd just like to give some context for time in case you're watching this later, because most people catch it as a recording. So I'm so
excited to be here today. I wanna talk about multidimensional experiences or experiences beyond the veil, experiences in expanding consciousness. I want to bring my own personal experience into this And I wanna talk about why I wanna bring my own experience into this. So I have had several, what we could call

1
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:08,000
mystical experiences. You might also hear them as multidimensional experiences or experiences out of body, um, beyond the veil. There are lots of ways to describe them. They're not terribly unlike near-death experiences, but without the trauma of dying. You know, there's no clinical death as far as I know. Um, and I, like I said, I've had several of these, and I talk about them. Typically, I talk about them on other people's
podcasts, but I don't tend to talk about them in livestreams, and I don't know exactly why that is, but I think they are valuable insights. And so I was talking about it on somebody else's podcast, Hayden Crawford, uh, Dreamtime Academy. That episode I think is gonna come out in, like, four, four weeks or something, so it's not out yet. But as I was talking about it, I was like, "I really should talk about these more often

2
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:08,000
on my own channel," um, because I do think it's really valuable for us to share this information, and there are two sides to that, to that coin, and I hope that I remember to get to that too. But, um, let's start with what these experiences are and how they happen. Um, like I said, I've had many of them, but I don't have them all the time. So they're... I would say that the... it's rare for me to have these experiences, but like I say, I've
had several of them, but over the course of my lifetime, you know, they're just a, a very small amount of times that I've experienced these. But when I experience them, I, I know that if this is not the first time you're tuning into Soul Elevation, you will know that meditation is a big part of my life. So when I talk about having this type of experience, you might naturally think that they happen in meditation, but they actually happen for me

3
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:08,000
in the state between wake and sleep, which is known as a hypnogogic state or other people might call it the hypnagogic state. I know, um, one Australian in particular who pronounces it that way. Anyway, this is that state between res- between being awake and being asleep. Typically, we just pass right through this state and go right in fr- right from wakefulness and right into sleep, and there is a br- there are brainwave
states that are associated with this, but there are also energetic states where, um, you know, we have a shift in our consciousness. But usually, like I said, the shift happens so fast that we don't even realize that we have... We are doing it because we just fall right to sleep. When I've had these, these states, I am holding in that in-between state. So I'm not asleep, and I know I'm not asleep because I'm very aware of

4
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:08,000
being in my bed, in my body. I can hear things, so, like, if my kids are still awake, I can hear, like, doors closing. I can hear my dog shaking her head and her ears flapping around. I know the difference between being awake and being asleep, but when I share what I'll, what I've experienced, it might be easy for you to dismiss it as a dream because that, if that's all we're used to, either, either wakefulness or s- or dreaming,
then when something doesn't fit into the wakefulness category, something that we would experience in our wakeful state, we might automatically flip to saying, "Well, it was a dream. She was in bed. She was trying to fall asleep. She was dreaming." Um, and I can assure you, just like you know how the difference between laying in your bed and being awake and being asleep, I also know that difference. So this is before I fall asleep,

5
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:08,000
but the, the... Okay, here's one way that I talked about it on Hayden's podcast. Um, if you close your eyes right now, assuming you're not driving or doing anything that would make that dangerous, if you close your eyes, if I ask you what you see, you might say nothing, or you may say black. It's just black. But if you pay attention and you look a little deeper, you'll notice, or at least I
notice, that it's not black. There are all kinds of colors, speckles of colors, and they're jumping all around, and they're moving constantly. And what we see, what we accept as being dark or empty space is actually full of these little speckles of color. The same thing if you're to look at a wall. Like, the wall in front of me is maybe like a beige color we might say, or a tan, grayish tan.

6
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:08,000
And when I look at it, I may just... If I'm just saying, "What am I looking at?" I'd say a blank wall or a gray wall. But when I really notice it, it's speckles of color, and it's all- they're all kind of move... You know, they're not, they're not like stationary speckles of color. They're constantly moving. I have to kind of look through those speckles of color to even see the wall. But my brain just simplifies
it and says, "Oh, there's a gray or a beige or a taupe wall But all those speckles of color, so what happens in these multidimensional experiences, the way that it begins often is that, that those, like, kind of jumping around colors or speckles of colors that are kind of dancing around, they start to take shape. So they start to become ... They start to kind of organize into something that's not so chaotic, into

7
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:08,000
something that I can actually see in my mind's eye. And so a lot of times this begins as, like, it might organize into some shapes, and I'm ... It's hard to find the language, and so I'm gonna simplify things a lot, because these shapes that I see or these patterns that show up, it's not as easy as me saying, "Oh, and then I see a tetrahedron," or, "Then I see an octagon," or, "Then I
see a tree," or a landscape or a person or anything. It is constantly moving and morphing and changing, and so a, a lot of times, one of the first things I see will be kind of a toroidal field, if you're aware of that terminology. But we ... All, all things are energetically part of a toroidal field, and that toroidal field is moving, and there's energy going into it and coming out of it

8
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:08,000
constantly in, like, a sphere. And so a lot of times, like, I will see that type of patterning, but there will be geometries in it, there will be shapes in it, there will be changing colors, and I might be able to kind of make out some sort of form within it. So, like, for example, a tree, I may say ... Like, I may be able to see, oh, that looks like the trunk of a tree and the branches and leaves of a tree, and then below is, like, the
roots of a tree, and it's all kind of coming together and spir- s- like, swirling into each other. That's one example of one of the first things that I will usually see. But things will begin to thin out as I ... Like, as I hold the state of the hypnagogic state, I hold that kind of in between state, and part of this is me directing it, and part of it is just happening. But a lot of times I'm kind of experimenting when I do get in this state.

9
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:08,000
I'm sort of ... My consciousness, I'm using intention, I'm using focus, I'm moving my awareness around in my brain and trying to activate different parts within my brain just with my awareness and where I'm focusing my attention. And then I'm simultaneously noticing how things change in what I can perceive. And so, um, a lot of times as I
continue on and I kind of move through these different realms or frequencies or experiences, they thin out. And what I mean by that is they become more etheric. They become less dense, less physical, if you wanna think about it like that, but I know that might be confusing because what I'm seeing even with those toroidal fields, I mean, it's not

10
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:08,000
physical. It's, it is etheric anyway, you know. It's, it's a vision, but it has, like, a, a thick, thicker quality to it. But as I kind of move through these different, different realms or different, different fields of consciousness, as I move kind of out, which strangely enough is
also moving deeper into my center, so it's both at the same time, it's like moving deeper into the center, but also that gives me access to more, like, more in an expanded state, like more further out from me, but it becomes, like, thinner. And eventually, I often have experienced going

11
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:08,000
into what I would call space. It very much feels like space. There's no, there's no floor, there's no, there's no, you know... You're just kind of floating in this darkness, but there are also pinpoints of light, and it just feels like space. And, um, but it's also kind of a void. Like, it could be a void, but I often think of it as space. Um, sometimes there's a sense of movement
where, like, those pinpoints of light are kind of racing past me, and sometimes I'm just kind of holding in that spaciousness But the, the quality of anything that I might perceive, the further into this I go, the further into these experiences I go, things really thin out. And so if, let's say... I'm just gonna use an example here, but let's say I was looking at a tree, um, in my

12
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:08,000
mind's eye or in this experience, let's say it started as a tree. As I'm kind of moving deeper into it, then that tree would just kind of become an outline, and I would see more, like, thin, and a lot of times it looks, like, metallic almost, but like a gold quality, and it's becoming, like, very thin, almost
like an, an outline of what I was seeing as something more solid. So the one specific, um, experience that I thought to share today is around a really fascinating experience I had where I realized that I was seeing a representation of space, the space-time continuum, and how we in this human earthly realm move

13
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:08,000
through this and also create it as we move through this. So I found myself in, let's call it space or the void or whatever, but this empty, huge, vast, empty space And as I was kind of holding there and just being in wonder and appreciation, I started to notice that there was this massive
something coming into my perception, and it was like it was appearing out of the void. But I have the sen- I also had the sense that it was always there, but I just couldn't see it. I wasn't tuning into it. So suddenly it was like both at the same time, like it was appearing and I was, like, tuning

14
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:08,000
into it. Um, it was this silver... It was a silver outline, very, very thin silver, and it was massive. And it had this vertical orientation, and I started to see... Like, it looked very, uh, circular, but, like, up and down, you know, vertically. And then I realized that there were multiple of these, and they were gears. So they were... They looked just like gears, where they had, like, little spokes coming
out and they were turning, different sizes. They were rotating into each other. And I thought, "Wow, what a fascinating thing to see," because this is not something I really... You know, it's not part of my everyday life. I, I don't really have an interest in engineering in this life and, um, don't spend a lot of time looking at gears. So it was just an interesting thing to, to appear And then as I continued

15
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:08,000
on, I didn't really know why it was showing up. Um, but eventually I s- again, same sort of thing where it was like it was... I was... There's nothing solid in the world. Everything is like energy, right? Yes. Yes. Thank you. Exactly. I'm just reading a comment here. There's nothing solid in the world. Everything is energy. So this is all energetic, but I'm also trying to relate it to our
human brain that's used to a physical world. So it's like trying to relate the human experience to an energetic experience. Um, so thank you. Yes. Um, so as I was tuning into... As I was just kind of holding that and there were these gears there, then I started perceiving, or it started appearing, however you wanna think of it, this v- horizontal, horizontally oriented, uh, spiraling galaxy.

16
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:08,000
So any time you've seen, like, NASA video or any kind of representation of, like, looking at a galaxy that's a spiraling, rotating galaxy from a distance, that's what started to appear. And incidentally, this is something that I see frequently. Um, even in meditation I will see this sometimes, and it was one of the earliest visions that I had when I started a meditation practice. A few
months into my meditation practice, I started perceiving very organically this spiraling galaxy, and I had no frame of reference for it because I didn't have an interest in space or sci-fi. That wasn't the kind of content, like any movies, like I just wasn't drawn to that, and I wasn't really a science type of person. So I recognized it, but I didn't know why I would, would see that in

17
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:08,000
meditation and I asked... I had a, a guide at the time. I had, like, a, a spiritual teacher, a meditation teacher, and I asked them about it and they said, "Oh, just don't get caught up in any visions that you see, you know. That sometimes those things happen." So they didn't have, like, any sort of explanation and that... tho- those teachings that I was engaged with at the time, there was no... Like, it was very Earth-based. It was very human body
based. Like, they were... There was no link to the cosmos, and galactic, and any kind of star seed thing. Like, that came much later. I didn't even realize that there was any... That star seed... I didn't know what a star seed was for many years after this, and I didn't feel that I had any connection to the galaxy or the cosmos. Like, it was a big mystery when that showed up. That was, like, almost 10 years ago. Um- All of that came later. So anyway, I'm

18
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:08,000
used to seeing the, the spiraling galaxy, the, uh, the rotating galaxy. But so I'm seeing these gears, and I'm seeing this... And they're vertical, and then I'm seeing this rotating galaxy, and that was, had a horizontal orientation. And I still, nothing was clicking. I was just appreciating it and watching it in wonder. And, uh, and then they started coming together. So the, the cogs of the, the
gears began kind of moving from my right over to, so that they came out in front of me, and the spiraling galaxy, I think that was already kind of in front of me, but they started intersecting And what I realized was they were creating a Y-axis, like the gears were... If you know of like, if you go back to... What would that even be? Trigonometry? Algebra? I don't know. You know when you have an

19
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:08,000
X-axis that's like the horizontal line, and you have a Y-axis and that's the vertical line, and then you plot points like in math class in high school? You plot points on that. So that's what it was becoming, but it's continued to stay the, the cogs, the gears, and the galaxy. But the galaxy was the X-axis, that was the horizontal axis, and the gears were the Y-axis. And I understood that then at some
point it clicked, like space was the galaxy. The galaxy was representing space, and that was an X-axis, and time was a Y-axis, which was the gears. And then we can think about, like, how clocks and watches work. They work with gears. So it really made sense, and I was really blown away 'cause it di- I didn't make the connection right away. So then when I did finally click what they, what I was being shown,

20
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:08,000
um, I was like, whoa, space and time. Of course these things go together. But I hadn't thought about those cogs being time. Ah, Jahan, thank you. I understand what you're saying. I've had a similar experience. Okay, we're gonna have to talk about that because, um, because it... I, I don't hear people talking about this, so I'm, I'm
excited to see that somebody, like, has experience with what I'm talking about. Um, so I understood space, time, and then I perceived my human self moving along this X, Y axis, moving along the space time grid. And as I did... And that was my life. Like at any point in time, I'm in a specific place at a specific time, and I'm at a point, a

21
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:08,000
sp- a time, a space and time coordinate, and I'm having an experience, and I move along this, these different coordinates through space time as I live my life. And Jahan is saying, "The way I saw it was in a dream. It was like a horizontal track, like at the airport, moving in opposite directions." Ooh, so moving along different timelines. That's
so fascinating. Um- So then there was this element of, like, that was a Z axis. So, like, the Z axis was the, the kind of three-dimensional, third/fourth-dimensional aspect, space and time intersecting, but the Z axis was created through the light coming through my eyes. It was like the light coming through my eyes was, in this vision, creating a

22
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:08,000
line that projected outward, and that was the creation of reality. And that, there was also an understanding that my eyes were bending the light, which that was new for me. I'm sure I'd heard it somewhere in my life before then in terms of the bending of light, but I still don't really understand that. Um, I don't have a scientific background, and so when I, when I was... C- because
it wasn't like somebody was telling me this. This is the other aspect of it. It's not like I had a guide there who was like, "Okay, Kara, these cogs are time, and the galaxy is space, and then the eyes are projecting light, and you're bending..." Like, I didn't have somebody external to me there explaining it to me. It was just this knowing. Like, I was just getting the information

23
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:08,000
as though my mind was creating it, but I know that my human mind was not creating this information. Um, and so Johan says, "It was literally like the Pink Floyd logo, you know, where the light passes through the triangle." Yeah, the prism, where the light's coming into the prism and shooting out the spectrum of light. Pink Floyd album, absolutely. Um, so and then the bending
of light. Yes. Yes. Thank you, uh, Johan. So I... The bending of light that was coming through the eyes is creating our individual reality, and of course we have a collective reality, but we're not gonna go there right now or in this discussion. Um, but as we move through space-time, moment to moment, and we are at these different space-time coordinates, meaning, like, today

24
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:08,000
I might be in Atlanta, Georgia, and that is on May 29th, 2026, and I have the experiences that I have while I'm at that coordinate. There is light projecting through my eyes that is creating my reality, and in order to create that reality, there is a bending of light that's part of the function- of the, of the eyes and of the creation, but
the way that the light is bent is related to our vibrational frequency. And so there was, like, this understanding, there was, like, a mathematical understanding that I didn't bring back the technicalities of it, if I was ever given the technicalities, because I'm not a math person per se. So I didn't really see formulas or anything that I can

25
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:08,000
like, you know, magically write down like, uh, Good Will Hunting or something to show the, the mathematical equation. But I understood that there was, like, a mathematical and biological and of course energetic component to how we bend light to create our reality That's related to the vibrational frequency that we are, that we are holding in any, any given time. That
directly relates to the life experience that we have at that space-time coordinate. So if we are going into ... I'm gonna simplify this a lot, but if we are going into any experience, so let's say today, and I'm not in Atlanta, Georgia, by the way, but just as a, you know, just throwing out a, a location. Um, let's say today I am in Atlanta, Georgia, and the vibrational

26
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:08,000
frequency that I'm holding is a high vibrational state. So I'm feeling relaxed and blissful and hopeful and joyful, and I feel connected to source and all that is. Then the reality that gets created, and I'm using that in quotes because of course, like we don't feel like we're conscious ... We aren't consciously creating our life at any given time, but as energetic and spirit
beings, the light that's coming through our eyes is creating our reality. And so this is why you can have two people or more people who are i- in the same space-time coordinate, but they're having very different experiences. You can have somebody who comes into the experience with a low vibration where they are angry and they're, um, they're looking for reasons to be upset and to

27
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:08,000
be angry and to see what's wrong. And I know I've gotten into this state. Honestly, I have been in this state where I just feel like I've had a lot of things happen at once and it's ... And you know, that I, that I don't like, and it puts me in a bad mood. And then it's like everything I look at is crap. You know, everything is annoying me and But it's like I'm looking for it. I've caught
myself in times where I'm already in a bad mood or I feel like I don't feel right, I don't feel well And I'm just looking for things that confirm the way that I feel. So if somebody's talking to me, I may be extra defensive, or I may be looking into... I may be looking for things in what they're saying that actually I'm kind of bending toward my agenda, if you know what I mean. And I'm

28
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:08,000
not doing that consciously, but like, just like if you're, let's say you're hungry, and you notice that things start getting really annoying, and the people around you are saying really annoying things. Well, are they really saying annoying things, or are you hungry and you're crabby? And so that's kind of what I'm talking about, where we can see, like we start to see the world in a way that, that confirms our vibration, and we don't realize that we're doing it.
Or maybe sometimes we catch ourselves doing it. But I think we can all relate to being, you know, realizing that actually, you know, maybe, maybe not, maybe everyone else isn't as annoying as I think they are. Maybe I'm just hungry, or I'm just angry, or or I'm triggered, or something. And so you can have two people, and one person is like everything they see, they're just, they're gonna notice the trash that's on the floor. They're gonna notice that, um, you know,

29
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:08,000
people are what- however pe- people can just be annoying. Obviously, we all live in this world. We know that we can tune in to how annoying people are. And you can have somebody else is with them, and they're just noticing how blue the sky is and how... Then the smell in the air, and they're hopeful, and they're having a completely different experience, but they're in the same space-time coordinate because
what they are seeing, because they're just tapping into the beauty. And so there is this element of the, the bending of the light that's happening in our consciousness through our eyes that's related to that and related to that space-time coordinate. So That was a lot to, to give you, uh, to share. And the reason that I wanted to share this, like I said, it's because I notice that I share these in other

30
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:08,000
places, but I don't often share them here. And it's important for us to share these stories because they help us to plant seeds in consciousness. So before I had any experiences like this, I would hear other people sometimes share their own versions of having these, whatever we wanna call them, mystical experiences or multidimensional experiences, or some way that their consciousness was expanded and they experienced something very real.
You know, near-death experiences are great, um, great examples of this, where s- somebody is clinically dead, and they have no brain function, and they're ... They come back with these amazing stories that completely contradict what they, what they expect to happen when they die. You know, a lot of atheists, for example, come back with amazing stories that they or that are completely contradictory to what they think happens when you die

31
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:08,000
But w- as we engage with stories like this, they begin as things for our intellect to understand and for our mental, for our mind, and our rational mind to try to understand that something bigger is happening beyond our f- human reality. And so we understand it mentally, but it plants seeds within us. And so, again, in my own experience, before I ever had any of these types of experiences,
I had heard of them being a possibility. Not exactly the same way. Like, each of my experiences personally was unique, and it wasn't like a repeat of what somebody else had said. But a lot of times I understood things in a very visceral way that I had only understood conceptually up to that point. So I had heard them as spiritual teachings or as mystical sharings or whatever it might be,

32
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:08,000
something like, let's say, we're all connected, we're all one. Maybe we can understand that and accept that conceptually, but when we actually experience it, it's like a visceral experience, and we understand it in a much more dynamic way. It's like we might understand it from the mind, which gives us one point of reference, but when we ex- understand it in a much more expanded
way, there are all these different facets to it that we experience and embody. And so the sharing of stories such as these that are true and authentic and real helps to plant those seeds so that our It's, it's just interesting how then when it happens to us, we can look back and connect it to times that we've heard other people talk about it, and it, it becomes part of that

33
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:08,000
experience and it builds it out and it helps us to understand it in a more complete way. I hope that makes sense. So thank you so much for being here with me today. I'm so grateful for you, uh, being with me, for your sharing, your liking, your subscribing, all of that. It helps so much. So thank you, and I hope that you have a beautiful rest of your day and weekend and week. Wherever you are in your time-space
coordinate, I wish you many, many blessings. Thank you so much Speaker 2: Thank you so much for joining me for this episode of Soul Elevation.
