612. YOU and Your Higher Self Are Creating Your Reality - What I Saw in a Mystical Experience

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Hello, and welcome to Soul Elevation: Guiding Your Ascension to New Heights. I'm so excited to be here with you today. This is Kara Goodwin from the Soul Elevation Podcast, and I'm recording this on Friday, July 17th. I am gonna be talking about a mystical experience that I had years ago, and I've had several of these different types of
mystical experiences, and I don't often think to bring them up in these, uh, in this setting, in these livestreams. It's funny, I realize that I hardly talk about my bigger mystical experiences on my own podcast. I love to guest on other people's podcasts, and they're much more likely to come up in that setting when I'm being asked questions.

1
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:08,000
And, um, but it's such really valuable information, so I'm trying to get better. For many reasons, I'm trying to be more open about the things that I experience, the things that I know firsthand. First and foremost, because I find it so powerful to hear people's experiences. It's very activating. There is something within our consciousness because we are all connected. And so when people open up about the mystical experiences that
they have, it ignites something within us that recognizes that truth. And I want you to pay attention as I talk about my own experience for that ignition within you, that resonance. Maybe you'll feel chills. Maybe you'll, you'll have some sort of, uh, just a feeling that this is truth, and you recognize it, and there's a part of you that knows that it's true, that remembers it on some level. And that is so powerful when we do that

2
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:08,000
and when we allow ourselves to have those opportunities. So I haven't intentionally been holding back, but what a lot of people do find when they are on an awakening path and they start to have experiences that are beyond the everyday, um, there's a lot that goes on with that because there are a lot of judgments that people can hold if they don't believe it. Um, and we all are carrying lifetimes' worth of experience where we've
experienced ridicule, we've experienced misunderstanding. We've been called liars. And so I haven't necessarily experienced that to a very strong degree in this life because I hold back a lot. I'm sure there's this, this subconscious self-protecting mechanism. Um, and I do understand. This has come up over and over again. You've probably heard it even in podcast episodes that I've had with different guests. Where they will

3
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:08,000
talk about, like, um, reincarnation and past lives, and that they do, um, perceive within me some persecution over different lifetimes, and that that, that does affect. You know, we learn from those experiences, and we learn what's not safe. But I have been invited, let's say, um, in various, at various times very recently to open up more and to be courageous and to share about some of the
things that I've experienced, and so I'm gonna do that today. But before I do start with that, I wanna share something that I'm so excited about because I've just published this new endeavor, this new creation and offering that I have out there that this is the first time I'm talking about it I have, if you go on my website, karagoodwin.com, you'll see a mindful pregnancy collection, and

4
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:08,000
this is the first in a series that I'm gonna be creating. They take a long time to create, so I'm just gonna be kind of releasing new ones over s- over a period of time. Um, the, this one took me two or three weeks from start to finish. Um, but this specifically is for women who are pregnant and preparing for childbirth. It's a collection of meditation and
mindfulness assets to help on that journey, and I have collaborated with Michelle Qureshi, who is an internationally award-winning, amazing musician. Um, and she has created the backing, the musical backing pieces at 300 and, or sorry, 432 hertz. So they are solfeggio-infused music to harmonize the energy at the heart level. Um, but there are different assets,

5
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:08,000
different, um, lengths of meditations, as well as some affirmations to print out to help women who are in pregnancy, who wanna connect deeper with their baby, who want to feel calmer, who wanna feel more connected to their baby and to just this sacred experience that they're undergoing. They wanna nourish their souls and their emotions and prepare themselves in this transition. It's such an important and sacred
time. So I'm really, really honored to be, uh, part of this, and you can get the info on karagoodwin.com. If you know somebody who's pregnant, if you yourself are pregnant, please go and check it out. It's gonna be a really beautiful, um, complement to everything that you're going through. And if you know somebody in your life, if you have a, a daughter or a granddaughter, a friend, sister, um, who is going through

6
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:08,000
pregnancy and wants some supplemental assistance from a spiritual perspective, an emotional perspective, the mental perspective, this would be an amazing gift to show how much you love her, and that, you know, there are these other resources out there for her. So please do check that out. I'm so excited to, to offer that, and there's more to come. So if there's something that you're struggling with in your life that's
kind of, uh, you could use some help, then maybe let me know if there's a specific thing. I've got these... I've got a lot of ideas of things that I wanna focus on, but feel free to offer suggestions on themes, um, that people need support with right now. So I wanna talk about this mystical experience. So let me explain what happened first of all. This, again, this was I'm thinking it was about five years ago now. And

7
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:08,000
it was... Y- if you've heard me talk about any of these experiences before, you know that they often happen between sleep... b- between wakefulness and falling asleep. That is that period, that hypnagogic state, that's when I am most easily able to have these types of experiences. And this was the, the really the first big experience that I had like this. Um, and I, I had many more afterwards,
but over time. They don't happen all the time. And part of this experience was this feeling of lifting higher and higher. So I knew I was still in my bed, but I was rising. My... And I know it now that it was my consciousness that was rising, but I... it was as though I was lifting up and up, and things were changing. Things were thinning out. So, um, visions that I had been having were

8
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:08,000
thinning out, and, um, so that I... and I was, at one point, I was kind of seeing more like these golden lines that seemed to be within the shapes that I had been seeing. But I kind of rose through all of those. Th- I think maybe we could think of them as different densities. That seems the, to be the right word. Different densities, where things started to thin
out as I kept rising up. And eventually, I found myself where it felt like a void. Um, it just felt like this empty space or, um, like a dark space with no kind of floor. I didn't really even have a body at this point. I was just awareness. So there didn't seem to be like a, a floor, a ceiling, or anything. And I noticed this enormous sphere of light. And I say an

9
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:08,000
enormous sphere of light, and I couldn't even really see necessarily that it was a sphere. It was just... I just sort of understood that there was light coming from a sphere, and I could see this enormous light. And the only reason that I even knew it was enormous was because I could also see a small light, and the small light was very, very far away. And to be really honest about how this
felt for me, it felt like I was in space, and it felt like this big sphere was some sort of celestial body or planetary body, like a pl- like a planet. Like, it felt like the size of a planet. It was enormous. But it was a sphere of light. And then... And, and I just understood that this was a crea- my creator being So that was how... And all of this was kind of just an experience that was

10
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:08,000
happening all at once. It wasn't like I was questioning, "Well, what is this sphere?" And somebody was answering, "This is a creator being. This is your creator being. This is you as a creator being." It was just like there's a light there, it's huge, that's my creator being. And then I... It was like I thought to myself,
where is the human me? Where's the little me? And way, way, way, way, way far away, there was this little light, like a pinpoint of light compared to how enormous this other light was, and it seemed so far away. But what I could see happening, what I could perceive happening, was that that little light was communicating

11
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:08,000
directly to the great big light. So again, the great big light is creator being Kara, and the little light was little human Kara, the, the ego, the human temporary incarnation, the, the little expression. And what was happening is that that little, tiny light would get, uh, it, it just was cha- The quality
of it was constantly changing. So it would be brighter, clearer, um, bigger... Not bigger, but, like, stronger It was just constantly changing. And then this big light, the big creator being light, would change in accordance to the little light. So if this little light got really big and bright, then this

12
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:08,000
creator being light would get really big and bright. And if it would start... If the little light would start to dim, then this creator being big, big light would start to dim. It was just this constant, here's what is being communicated from the, the little light, and the big light just basically mirrored the, what the little light was
doing. And what I understood from this experience is that this was a representation, a visual representation of something that you may have heard of called the law of attraction, or magnetism, or manifestation, or, um, how... Or resonance, that you're, that you're receiving what you're sending. That what your reality is showing you is a

13
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:08,000
reflection of your state of being, your state of consciousness. So whether this was a metaphor or this is something that really, really happens, I can't say. I don't know if my consciousness created this analogy, this metaphor to show to me a way to understand the law of attraction. But it j- I was just experiencing this like a witness. I was
just observing it. I wasn't... I was just watching and, and understanding while I was being shown how it relates to our lives. And so what I understood from this is that this is... You can think of this as karma. You can think of this as, again, your vibrational state bringing to you what you're asking. The universe is showing you what you are

14
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:08,000
sending, what, how you are being. Everything around you is a reflection of your inner state, as within, so without. So if I am, as a little human, as that little speck of light, that's what you're seeing right now is this little speck of light, this little expression of something much, much bigger This human expression of
pure source consciousness. So if I am in just living my life and I'm in a scenario where I'm interacting with people, let's say, and I am in a great mood, I'm so grateful to be around these people, I am excited, I'm having fun, I'm expecting great things. My light is bright. I am at a high vibration. It's just how it is.

15
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:08,000
I'm not... Th- that's just, it's... I'm in a good mood, I'm in a good place, and my light is bright. And so my creator being, that's what I'm communicating out, even though I'm not trying to. I'm not sitting in meditation focused on that I, I'm, wanna radiate a high vibration. That also applies, but I'm just explaining how this works whether y- we realize that it's
happening or not. Let's imagine we have no idea about the law of attraction, or about manifestation, or about as within so without, or anything like that. We're just being, but we are showing up in our lives with a high vibration, with excitement, with gratitude, with love, with expecting great things, and that increases our light. Our light quotient goes up. Our vibration

16
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:08,000
lifts. We literally are, our subatomic particles start vibrating higher. They're in an excited state. It's a high, literally a high vibration. That increases the light. It immediately, instantly tells that creator light being That that is what our reality is. It's like a request that's going out. It's just how we... It's, it's, one, it's how we are naturally.
It's how, how we are in that moment. But it's also telling the universe or our creator being, this is what I'm calling in. And the creator being then matches that light. So it gives a high vibrational experience. It... And so what you experience around you matches what is within you. And so this is why so many... If you ever look into manifestation, the law of

17
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:08,000
attraction, any of those, like, how to take control and get what you want, this is the me- mechanics behind it. This is the mechanism. Because if you are getting yourself into a high vibrational state, you will attract into your life high vibrational things. How often have you heard if you express gratitude, if you let yourself be in a state of gratitude, you will receive
more things that you will be grateful for. So this is why you want to train yourself to be in a state of gratitude. So on the other side of that coin, let's say that I'm in a funk, and I just, everything I look at is crap. And we've all experienced these, these states. Everybody knows what I'm talking about. You're just in a bad mood. You woke up on the wrong side of the

18
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:08,000
bed, or somebody's annoyed you, or somebody's, you know, you got cut off in traffic, and one thing happened after another, and just, you're just in a bad mood. And so immediately, your light goes down, and that's what your creator being picks up. And it says, "Okay, well, this is what they're, this is where, what they're requesting. They're signaling dim, dim the light. Cabin lights
down." And they, and then, then your world, you start to experience it. That's, that's how reality starts to show up, at that level of dimmer light, and you start seeing more things to be upset about. And you've experienced this. When you get into a funk, y- everything you see is wrong, right? You, I know you've experienced this. And this is the mechanism of how it works. Your creator

19
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:08,000
being is immediately getting the signal that you're sending, even though you're not meaning to. You don't, like, consciously want things to be wrong, but it's just how you see the world, because you're in that state. Now, one thing that was really, really clear in this experience was that there was no judgment. So the creator being was
constantly adjusting its light and the, the level of light, the, the vibration that it was sending based on what it was receiving from the little human Kara But there was no judgment. So if there were times where I was in a lower state, and I was upset, and I was angry and, and not in a high vibration, there was no judgment. There was

20
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:08,000
no disappointment from the creator being. It was neutral. It was a mechanism of sending and receiving. This is what I'm sending, this is what I'm getting. And it was just this constant adjustment of light that was completely reflective of what I was sending. So ultimately, it all originated from me as little human Kara. But
it was not like this creator being was going, "Oh, no. What's she doing? Oh, she's gonna really regret this. I don't even wanna send this, but she asked for it." And s- it was just, it was just cause and effect. And so I wanna emphasize that point because so... it's so easy to get into judgment and shame and feel like, oh, if

21
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:08,000
I'm... if things are going wrong in my life, then it's a... then I'm trying to be taught a lesson. And, and yeah, I mean, we're teaching ourselves lessons, but, you know, we're all learning as we go. This life is about experience. And so if you're giving yourself a hard time because you can now see the mistakes that you've made that have led to things that you're experiencing
now that you or that other people are experiencing now that you feel responsible for, you can understand that that shame, that guilt, that judgment, it's all just coming from you yourself, and that's not coming from the higher realms. And so you're here to experience, you're here to learn, you're here to do better, and to keep learning, keep applying. If you knew better

22
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:08,000
before, you would have done better. So take the lessons from the things that you've learned and apply them. Learn, learn the lesson, but let go of the shame, let go of the judgment, let go of the guilt, because all of that dims your light, too. So when you allow yourself to dwell in the judgment, the guilt, and the shame in this moment for mistakes that you feel you've
made in the past- Then you're, uh, you're just carrying that lower light into this now mo- moment, and every moment is a new moment to experience higher vibration, to increase your light. And it's ... Again, the way that I saw it in this mystical experience was a very literal, um, reflection of your current state. So the more that you can release your judgments, your shame,

23
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:08,000
your guilt, let those things go, really allow yourself to be in a new moment, and to let this be the best feeling, genuine, authentic, beautiful, blessed moment full of gratitude. And the more you can do that throughout the day, the longer you can hold those states, the more your external reality really will begin to shift to reflect that. And so that is what I want to share today. You can read more about this. I do write

I talk about a few of these mystical experiences that I've had, and, um, this is a great accompaniment for your awakening journey. So I highly encourage you to check this ... check it out.
