596. Your Body Has Dormant Spiritual Powers — What the 'Meatsuit' Crowd Misses

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 excited to be here with you for this live stream on YouTube on Monday, June 8th, 2026. Today, I wanna talk about something that I hear in spiritual discussions, spiritual podcasts, spiritual webinars,
and so forth. I hear this frequently, and I want to offer a new perspective about it because I don't think that it really honors truly what you're have... what is happening in your human experience. And what I'm talking about specifically is this term that gets thrown around with our human body as a meat suit.

1
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:08,000
And it was funny, yesterday I was leading a meditation with my Healing Hearth group, and this kind of spontaneously came up while I was medi- leading the meditation. I was about to, and to, um, guide people through the relaxation part of the meditation And it was, what was coming through was just this deep respect and gratitude for the
human body, and this, and how that is contrasted with calling the body a meat suit. And what, and the derogatory way of looking at the body as merely a meat suit. And I get... I, I mean, I think it's actually kind of funny, you know, in a, in a humorous way to think about the body as a meat suit because we... When... Before you come onto

2
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:08,000
a spiritual path and you're seeing everything as just the pure physical experience that you're having, and the only perspective that we're really given in mainstream living is really that of physicality. And the vast majority of humans on the planet right now really engage with their bodies and with the, their lives as from the perspective of the body. You know, body first.
Everything is about the body. Everything is about how they look and how they, um... You know, it, it's body-centric, and whenever the body is giving us, um, any problems, quote un- I'm gonna put that in quotes. Quote, "problems," it's creating an inconvenience for us, and it's something that we just need to, uh, get, get us back to where we're comfortable and where we're

3
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:08,000
attractive and where we're, um, you know, getting what we want physically. That's what we're always striving to do from a mainstream human perspective, at least here in the West. And- If you're on a spiritual path, you probably have gotten through, if you ever had those kind of physical ties, you, you've probably started... If you're listening to something like this, because this is not, like, baseline,
you know, first step of hu- of spiritual awakening, the people who are attracted to my content have, you know, they're, they're usually not, like, this is not their first stop. Um, we're not talking really about baseline concepts so much. But so, so the people that I'm talking to, I'm sure you're not, like, overly tied to your physical existence and your human body. But what can tend to happen is that

4
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:08,000
as we go through the spiritual path, we can start to actually disengage so much from the physical experience that we disconnect with the body. And even worse, we start seeing the body as, um, a hindrance or as a problem, as something that we need to overcome And so again, we do want to... There are baseline physical desires and,
and physical, like when we're s- if we're in an addictive kind of, uh, mentality, whether that is with something like sex that is like this physical, um, you know, we have to have this physical urge that we scratch all the time. Um, or if it is we're obsessed with our weight or we're obsessed with, you know, some kind of, um, you

5
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:08,000
know, let's say like plastic surgery or something that is altering our appearance, and we're overly fixated on the physical. That is a different problem, and that is something to be addressed, and that is, that can be a part of people's spiritual awakening where they have to get through those real ties to physicality. But when we start tipping too much in the other direction
where we just wanna transcend this human experience to the extent that we don't even value it, that we don't value the body, we think we, we feel that the body's holding us back, that is not balanced. We're, we're wanting to move through our spiritual awakening in a balanced way, and this body is a blessing. So let's just first talk about why you're even here in a human

6
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:08,000
experience. You are a soul. You are an eternal spirit, and you could have chosen anything. You didn't have to come here into this physical body. You chose to. Your soul, in its infinite wisdom and knowing what it is that your soul desires for its growth and its experience, it chose a
human earth experience, and it did so knowingly. It did so willingly. Because this is a world of duality, and there is a lot of growth opportunity that we can have in a physical experience like what we have on earth that is much, much slower In other non-physical experiences. So, um,

7
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:08,000
for example, if we as a soul really wanna work on our forgiveness, and we want to experience the, the forgiveness, we have to separate ourselves enough from the truth of who we are as sou- source beings. We have to go through that forgetting process, and then be betrayed, and that is how we can find our way to the experience
of forgiveness. We can't have that experience and that deep learning without having the forgetting that comes with this physical reality. Likewise, there are gifts within this human body that can deepen our connection to Source and deepen our experience of Source, again, coming back to that duality. Because we have this

8
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:08,000
forgetfulness, and even our bodies have spiritual capabilities, but they have been made dormant at this time of where we are with the h- Earth's history, and there's a whole other kettle of fish that talks about why and how that happened, and it's ancient, ancient, ancient history to do with our DNA, to do with the deliberate, um, alterations of our DNA, and there
are arguments for why that is. You know, whether that is, that was deliberately designed as part of the divine intelligence, which of course everything ultimately goes back to that. Everything ultimately goes back to it's all part of Source. It's all for us. But when we drill down more and more, you know, we have good versus evil, we have things that are happening to

9
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:08,000
humanity that are hidden and covert, and again, go back into our ancient, ancient DNA. Um, but that's for, that's a topic for another time. The, the fact is we are living in human bodies that are, uh, that have capabilities that connect us deeper to our spirit, but they are turned off. They are dormant.
They're asleep for most people. But they're still there, and they can be awakened. So things like telepathy, you know, that is a human That's a, a human capability. That's part of the package. That's part of the, the human template, is the ability to telepathically communicate, and we experience this in small

10
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:08,000
ways as we go through our incarnations. You know, we, we experience telepathy in these, um... You know, not telepathic communication all the time where I can just send a thought to somebody, they'll immediately pick it up, like I, I could send a s- a thought to somebody as they're coming to my house and say, "Oh, I need bread," and they're just gonna immediately stop and be very confident that they need to buy me bread. You know,
it doesn't quite work that succinctly right now, but we do get these whispers of intuition where maybe we think about somebody we haven't thought about much, and then they, they call us without us reaching out in any way. Or we are thinking about some random obscure topic, and then somebody brings it up, or you, you, um, see something about it somehow as you move through your day. Or people are echoing your thoughts. You know, you,

11
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:08,000
you're thinking things and then they're saying them back to you without... But they think it's their idea. There are all these ways that we are, you are probably likely experiencing forms of telepathy, but you're not tuned into it so sharply that you might c- you might not even consider that it is telepathy, but this is part of the human template. It's part of creation, but it has been suppressed in... Even if we just think about
the fact that it's not something that most people accept, and so it's not something that's taught and nurtured as we g- as we're children or even into adulthood. There aren't people who are helping us to tap into that, and so it just, it's undeveloped, right? Just like you could learn how to play the piano. You could learn how to play very complicated pieces of piano. It takes dedication, it takes you taking the time and having the

12
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:08,000
interest, but it's there. It's there for you. If you have an, you know, the, the physical capability to do so, then you can do that. Um, but it's just not something that everybody goes after. Similarly, we have, um, ways that we heal the body. We have capabilities within us to heal our bodies, but those often go undeveloped. They go unacknowledged. We think that the
solutions for all of our physical problems lie at the doctor's office, or lie in the medicine cabinet, or lie in, you know, maybe we accept energy healers, but we think that we need, excuse me, a, a, an external energy healer, or we need a device. You know, I love red light therapy, and I'm... I try to do red light therapy a few times a week. You know, that's an external

13
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:08,000
device that I'm using that I do see results with, but, you know, if I focused and concentrated on that, I may be able to have the same results without the, the external light. We know that we have innate healing ca- capabilities within the body because of something that we disregard, that we actively disregard as a society, and that is the placebo effect.
So think about what the placebo effect is, and if you're unfamiliar with what that is, generally it is whenever a drug is going through a drug trial, a pharmaceutical is going through a drug trial, or any type of, um, any type of, uh, medicinal therapy that you're gonna take, it has to undergo a drug trial that says we're gonna take the actual compound,

14
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:08,000
the actual drug, and we're gonna give it to some people who have the affliction of what we're trying to treat, and we're gonna take another group who has that same affliction, and we're gonna give them a sugar pill. So this is a... They're gonna still take something. They're gonna have the same regimen in terms of, you know, take two of these every six hours, you know, for this long, and report back if you have any improvements. Well, some people are gonna
have the actual compound, and some people are gonna have a sugar pill, and that helps the drug trial know if that compound is actually working. But what happens in every drug trial... I talk about this with Rupert, um, Rupert Isaacson in a recent podcast episode. I'll try to remember to link that in these show notes so that you can... 'Cause he talks about this. Um, and he, he gives a really good explanation of what the placebo effect is and what it means.

15
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:08,000
But The, um, some people in the control group, so the control group is the group that had the sugar pill. They're the ones who never got the compound, but they also will naturally heal. It always happens that the control group has some level of healing even though they have not had any actual medicine. So what does that tell you? Just
the act of thinking that they are receiving treatment makes their body heal. But what have we turned the placebo effect into? The placebo effect has become this enemy because it's a way that we say, "Oh, we just... That's just the mind. They just think that they got better." It- they didn't just think that they got better, they actually

16
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:08,000
got better. The placebo effect is accounting for the body's natural ability to heal, and whether it just thinks that it's having, you know, whether it's like you take something and you send a signal to your body, to your psy- through your psyche that says, "This is going to heal me. Oh, now I have hope. Now I have a chance," and that kicks off a cascade
of chemical processes within the body that facilitates healing What is that? That's amazing. That is a miracle, and that is what your body does. But we live in this, in this matrix that says, in order to have healing, you need a, a chemical compound. So th- this is where, why I want to focus on this is because of the intelligence within your body.

17
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:08,000
Your body is remarkably intelligent. The fact that you can even hear my voice, you can hear my voice. It's vi- my, my voice is vibrating through the ether, and your ear is vibrating and picking up on those vibrations, going... Those vibrations you have... Your brain has learned that certain vibrations that it picks up on and the
sounds that that makes equals certain words. Those words have meaning, they have depth, and they resonate. They can affect you emotionally. They can affect you mentally. It's, it's... I mean, how genius is that? How genius is it? How many times a day do you think about blinking? How many times a day do you think about taking in as

18
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:08,000
much oxygen as you need for this moment? The exact needs that your body needs, and you take in as the exact amount of air that your body needs. How many times do you think about beating your heart as you go through your day, or regenerating your cells, growing your hair, your fingert- your fingernails? All of those things are just things that you do, that your body does
automatically. Yeah, you can... You could control how often you blink. You can choose to blink when you don't need to blink, but you don't have to. It's automatic processing that's happening in the background. So just think. Take some time to think about all of the amazing ways that your body shows you its intelligence And there are even more gifts within your body that are

19
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:08,000
stored within it. You have memories stored within your body that can be accessed through movement. I've had some past life memories that have come up through receiving a massage. So somebody else working on my body has released different healing memories that I needed, things that were still unresolved that I needed,
that were affecting me in this life that needed to be resolved. There's magic and mystery and so much that is accessible to you through this amazing body that you have. It is not a meat suit. As funny as that is, I still find that terminology always tickles me. But, but I really encourage you to appreciate the

20
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:08,000
intelligence of your body and connect with the intelligence of your body, because within that you will strengthen your own ability to heal yourself, to expand your psychic gifts, to come into things like telepathy, to access more of your subconscious. There are just really a vast amount of capabilities that
this body, as you connect with it deeper, can help you with spiritually. Because the more you deepen your connection with it, then the more, you know, there... We can go deeper into the biological, uh, um, spiritual anatomy within your body. But the more that you can understand yourself as a living, breathing,

21
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:08,000
spiritual being The deeper you can, uh, let that be absorbed into your body, your spirit finds more ways to connect with your body, which means that you express yourself as a spirit through your life, through this human body. It's not something that you have to go off and
have a really deep meditation, or go on a retreat, or take psychedelics, or whatever to feel a connection to your soul. It is this deepening understanding, acceptance, and appreciation for the body and the ability for your spirit to come into the body, to anchor in, and then

22
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:08,000
the being that is animating your body is more and more and more your higher self, your spirit, your eternal soul. It's more and more of that spiritual nature, the spiritual truth of who you are. So it's not something that you have to try to access outside of you or beyond your human experience. As you move through your
life, you are living it. It is radiating out through you. So you're bringing it from the spirit realms, you're bringing more and more of it into physicality through the human technology, and then it is you. It is you. We become so disconnected in the mainstream experience that it can become easy and natural that we

23
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:08,000
are just living on autopilot. We don't have a very big percentage of our soul or our light that is embodied. It is something that if we want to experience, we have to kind of r- go find it. But through this process of really appreciating, understanding, and bringing it in, it becomes more of who we are and how we express ourselves. So I hope that that makes sense.
And I, you know, this is a very natural thing that is part ... It's part of the spiritual process. So it is something that you can keep taking deeper and deeper as you move through, and I wish you every blessing with that. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you for your likes, and subscribes, and shares. Really, that means so much to help things grow, and to just

24
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:08,000
help elevate things on this planet. That's what we're here to do. So the more we're engaging with high vibrational content and we're sharing it, then we are strengthening it in the ether and in the, uh, the invisible. But it makes it more powerful, more magnetic to, to help lift, uh, this physical realm into a higher, a higher vibrational experience. So thank you so much. I'm, I'm very grateful, and I will see you
next time. Bless you Speaker 2: Thank you so much for joining me for this episode of Soul Elevation.
