575. Spiritual Awakening vs. Mass Humanity - Stay Aligned in a Mainstream World

0
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
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 today on Monday, April 13th. It's been. I don't know, a week and a half, or maybe two weeks actually since the last time I went live did a solo episode. I've
actually been away on vacation and I just got back last night. And that's part of what I wanna talk about because the experience of the vacation that I was on was very much being thrust into the masses of humanity and. That can be a big challenge when you are on a spiritual awakening journey and

1
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:08,000
your beliefs and practices and, um. You know what you, if you, if you accept that we are in a matrix, you know, it kind of is trying to bring you more and more into the matrix, more and more into mainstream mentality. You're dealing with a lot of people that are in mainstream mentality, mentality. And that can really be challenging. And, uh, because. The more that you go on a spiritual
awakening journey, the more you're in, you might find yourself in contrast to the mentality, the mass mentality. And so when you're thrust into the middle of it, there can be some inner discord or outer discord even where um. You know, it can take away some of the joy or it can make you feel confused, um, or unsure about your own beliefs and progress. When you're kind of everybody around you,

2
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:08,000
nobody is a mirror to who you are. So we're gonna get into that. I wanna unpack that a little bit because. I think it's a common thing that we come up against, and the more that we, the, the further we go into our spiritual development and possibly the more our, the more conscientious we are about our environment and the people that we surround ourselves with, you know, there's gonna come a point. Where, uh, regular people
are gonna kind of take over our, our, um, our environment or, and, and that's just where we are in humanity. Because if you are on a spiritual awakening journey, you're still in the minority. And that doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad thing. I mean, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Even though we can find so much comfort when we have people who share our beliefs and our understanding in the world, who see the world

3
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:08,000
in the same way that we do, that there's a lot of comfort and joy that comes from that because we can connect at a different level. Um, we can really show our true selves more easily, but. If you are on a spiritual awakening journey right now, you're on the leading edge of where consciousness is going. You are a pioneer and you're spearheading. So, you know, if you think of a spear and the tip of a spear, you're
at the tip and there's not, you know, there aren't really, there's, there are a lot of people behind you. In terms of, you know, they just haven't been exposed yet to what you've been exposed to. They haven't accepted things, they haven't been able to understand things or even maybe even taken an interest in things that you've taken an interest in, and they're in a different place. They may be in a place that you

4
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:08,000
were a year ago or three years ago, or 10 years ago, but I suspect there's a part of you that. Is reflected a previous part of you that is reflected in people that it might be hard for you to accept their mentality now. Um, so that's where we're going with this discussion. But in the vein of how nice it is to be around people who do prioritize.
Spiritual perspective and who are working on under their spiritual understanding, raising their consciousness, raising their vibration. I want to make sure that you know that the New Living Expo is happening this weekend. It's Friday to Sunday, so Friday, I wanna say that's the 17th. 13, 14, 15, 16. Yeah, I think it's the 17th to the 19th.

5
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:08,000
It's in San Rafael, California. And I'm gonna be presenting on Friday at four o'clock in room one. And I'm gonna be talking about your energetic blueprint. There is a geometric metric energetic blueprint. That is how you are made up. There are a lot of different ways to understand your energetic makeup, and one of those is at the geometric level, so we're gonna unpack that a little
bit. We're gonna talk about what that means. We're gonna talk about my experiences with that, how I've seen it, how I've interacted with it. But the main point of it, I mean, that's all interesting information, but the main point of it is. How does it apply to your everyday life? It all comes down to how does it affect how you perceive the world, how you interact with the world,

6
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:08,000
how your life is constructed, and how you move through your life. Because, and the point of it is that when you are not in alignment and when you are not. Living from your soul then that that blueprint. Becomes distorted and it becomes blurred. And that is where there you get some discord, you get some miscommunication, you have misunderstandings, you
can't see things clearly. So it's when we understand that blueprint and we utilize it and we can understand our life from a different perspective and understand how to get more clarity. So that will be on Friday. Live in person in San Rafael, California at the New Living Expo. Please come and see me. I will also have a booth there. I'll have my book, your

7
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Authentic Awakening will be available there and I'll have, um, I'm planning to bring some of my sacred geometry art as well. So come and see me, come and see my presentation and um, I'll be so excited to see you. And also. I wanna let you know that while I was away on vacation, I did release three podcast episodes that are really, really great. Um, but I have, I was completely offline while I was on vacation, so I didn't
get a chance to really kind of, you know, I, I dropped them, but I didn't really like, um. Let people know on Instant mess, uh, not instant messenger, uh, social media or um, YouTube or anything. I didn't really announce them very well. So there is one with Debbie Jordan Cobble. She's an ET experience. She has a wild story about her contact experience where she was face to face with all these grays in her yard, and

8
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:08,000
this was. In the same city that I was living in at the time, the same, very near where I live right now too. Um, so that was fascinating for me because I'm thinking of my, like childhood self in the vicinity as this was happening for her. And then she talks about the physical effects that she had from this and this spiritual awakenings that she had from it. Her dog was affected by it, the land. Was affected by it. So it's a really fascinating story. So
check that one out. There's, um, Joanna Dow, uh, dross, who I've had on before. I really think very, very highly of her. She's an energy healer. I've had an exceptional experience with her. Um, she's gonna, she is talking about ascension symptoms and what happened in what happens with spiritual awakening. And that's, it's, um, really. Really foundational, but also critical information for you to understand as you go through your awakening process. And then

9
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:08,000
also Ina Segal, who's an author and a healer, and she talks about her remarkable journey where she started seeing her body, like with X-ray vision in order to help herself heal because her chiropractor said he couldn't do anything more for her. And, um. So she ended up kind of having this Kundalini experience and she could see right inside her body and she knew what she needed to do to fix it, and she's got a remarkable story. So please do check out those three
episodes. I think you're gonna get a lot from them. And now let's dive into what I wanna share here about when you're. Having a, an awakening, a spiritual awakening, and then you have to interact with the masses. So the, the, um, vacation that I just returned from was a, a cruise in the Caribbean. And so if you've ever been on a cruise before, or if you haven't, I'll just explain how it is. What my family really loves taking cruises because I have two teenagers

10
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:08,000
and they get to kind of have their own experience and be with friends. And they were lucky to have a couple of other families that we traveled with who were there. So they had friends they already knew and they made friends and they just love it. And it's, it's really nice to be down in the Caribbean, in the Atlantis. Area in terms of, you know, ancient Atlantis. Those are, those waters. Um, it's just gorgeous down there. And you know, a cruise experience is, there are
some great benefits to it. It's kind of, you can really shut off. Everything is there at your fingertips and at your disposal, and you just kind of. Can go with the flow and there are a lot of different options. My husband and I just kept saying, everybody gets to have their own cruise experience because we really like to just lounge around and be in the sun, um, and be in kind of the adults only area where the music is calming and you, it's just a very re relaxing,

11
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:08,000
peaceful setting. I went and enjoyed the spa a couple of times. And, uh, but other people like a much more active experience. And so there's a lot of, you know, there are sporty things you can do. There are, you know, gamey type things that you can do different like trivia things and music. And, um, there are, oh my gosh, you know, there are pools. There are. Like movies. There's it really, it's
like they have thought of everything. So there it are. I, I do enjoy the cruise experience and it can also be a really, um, ah, hey, I see Johan's on here. Um, and Johan is, uh, is down in Barbados, so he, he knows the Caribbean very well. But thank you for being here. Um. So the cruise experience is, is a great, there's a lot to it. There's a lot of benefit to it. And you're in this contained

12
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:08,000
ship that is, has thousands of people on it, and you get all walks of life. You get you, it spans the generations. It spans different people's interest levels, as I mentioned. And so you're really. Not, you know, it's not like you're there in a retreat where people are there to focus on their spirituality. You've got people who are, are triggering perhaps. You know, one of the things that I get annoyed about is
when people are like FaceTiming or they're on some sort. Video call and they're not using headphones, and they're just shouting and, and they're, you know, they've got it full volume. So everybody like you there and there's something to the sound when you, or, or if they're watching a video and they're not using headphones, there's something to the sound that comes out of the speakers on a phone that is, I find, so

13
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:08,000
grading. So if somebody's like. A few feet away or several feet away and they're on their phone and that, and I can hear their speaker. It drives me crazy. So, um, I just think it's really, really rude. And um, and Johanna is saying the frequencies coming off those devices are like nails on a chalkboard. Yes. It's sure, it is a frequency thing. It's so grading and so there was a lot of that happening too, because you're just with a lot of people and people have
different habits and people are leaving trash around. And when you're on the ship, there are, um, attendants who come by and they clean up after people. But then on the last day, we went to an island, like a, um, a private part of The Bahamas that the, the cruise company owned. And there just weren't very many attendants on duty there, and people were not cleaning up after themselves. So they would leave plates of food around and then take off, go back to the ship, and

14
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:08,000
then all these seagulls would come and. It's like, and they knew that. It's not like, oh, they had no idea. They'd been shooing the seagulls away while they were there, and then they just left so that everybody who was still there. Had to deal with these seagulls. So my, my husband actually was the most bothered by it and, and was kept cleaning up after people. So people would leave and he would go and, um, and throw their plates away.
And so it's that kind of a thing where it's like, gosh, the, the obtuseness, that's it. You know, not even. Having anything to do with spirituality, but just the, the awareness, the self-awareness, the reflectiveness of saying How am I contributing to the world, or how am I impacting people and do I care if I am? You know, ruining somebody else's experience, or do I can, I only relate to people from my perspective, and I'm used to people

15
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:08,000
cleaning up after me because I've been on this ship and, and they just keep cleaning up after me. So I'm gonna just let them take care of, it's somebody else's problem and I don't care how it affects people. And so I was coming up against some of that. Again, it's not really spiritual, it's just, it's, it's just a part of being human. But it made me think about, um, I think I was listening to an Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of Eat, pray, love. She was being
interviewed on a podcast. This was years and years ago. And something that she said stuck with me, and it was that she was, I think one of the times that she was in an asam, maybe it was when she was in the ASAM in India, that she writes about and eat, pray, love. But she, um. Is was talking about how there was a woman who worked at the ashram or was a volunteer at the Ashram, but she lived there. And she was like very, you know, peaceful and dedicated to her

16
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:08,000
meditation practice and you know, had this persona about her that was very calming. But then she had to go home for something. There was a, I don't know, a funeral or a wedding or something like that. And so she had to go back to outside of the ashram. She had to go out into the world. And when she came back, she was so. Uh, rattled and she was so, so, um, angry and it took her a while
to get back and get settled into, um, her peacefulness again. And Elizabeth, in sharing the story, the whole point was. What's the point of your meditation practice? What's the point of your spiritual practice? Because this woman was so, she came back and she was so negative about everybody out there outside of the ashram and how, you know, she was really focused on how everybody was,

17
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:08,000
um, you know, really everything that was wrong with everybody out there. And it was like she could only find her peace in the ashram. And, and it's not to say that that's wrong. But there's another evolution to getting deeper into our spiritual work. And it's, it's a, an evolution that we all go through. It's a personal evolution and it
was something that I was coming up against when I was on vacation because I could feel myself being annoyed with people and really, um. You know, feeling, it was really easy for me to see, to see that there was a problem with them and that, you know, this would be so much better if they would not do the things that I find unacceptable. And,

18
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:08,000
and so for me. The, you know, I was still having, I mean, I was still trying to make time every day to meditate in the morning and trying to have my peace, but I was noticing where I was coming up against that, where it was like, oh, you know, that, that feeling within me that, you know, this would be so much better if it weren't for that person. Oh my God. If that person would just wear
headphones, then I could. Be peaceful, but if they're gonna be doing what they're doing, then it takes away from my peace. And so that is something that I recognize that, you know, there's an opportunity there to, you know, clear that up within me and recognize that. I'm not gonna be able to control everybody and like we, like I started this with everybody's on their own journey and, and a lot of

19
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:08,000
people are not able to be self-aware. They're, they're only able to mostly see from the inside out and how, you know exactly what I'm saying, how everybody else is affecting them, but not able to see how they're affecting everybody else. And so. That's, that's part of what we're dealing with. We're in this mashup of all different kinds of people and perspectives, and I'm not just talking about
on the cruise, but just as we interact with people, we are having to deal with a lot of different kinds of people and a lot of different perspectives, and it's really a part of our spiritual journey to be able to keep. That peace within us and to be able to hold our own perspective, our own respect for where people are. And it's not easy. I'm telling you. It is not easy. I know it's not easy,

20
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:08,000
but I was, you know, even talking to one of my kids because there's been a lot of um, et. Uh, UFO sightings and I didn't have internet very much while I was away. Um, just a couple of times where I was able to get on the wifi for, you know, if we were at a beach or something. And, um, so I was, I've been trying not to be too active on, uh, Instagram, for example, because it just. That is another way that I
kind of, it ships away at my piece. Um, but I really was offline 'cause I couldn't, I, I couldn't get on even if I wanted to. Um, but as I was those pockets of time where I was finding like, oh, a little bit of internet here and there, I was, one of the things that I was seeing that people were sending to me were, uh, UFO strange things in the sky in different places. And even this, um. Singer Casey Musgraves,

21
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:08,000
a really popular singer. I think she put out some video, I don't know if this was, I think it was recent. And she had like seen these lights in the sky while she was on a, um, on a plane and she's talking about that. And I sent it to one of my kids. And because they know that I am into UFOs and aliens and things like that, and they're not really into it. They're very, very mainstream and they're teenagers and they want to be. You know, they wanna be teenagers. They're,
they're not the type right now who wanna go against the grain. They, they find safety in finding those other reflections of them and, and, you know, fitting in, I was like that as a teen to a certain extent too. So, um, but anyway, I sent it to one of my kids and I was like, do you still think I'm crazy? Because I'm like, okay, if Casey Musgraves is talking about this, like, does that give me any street cred? And uh, they were just like. I still think you're crazy.

22
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:08,000
So, you know, it might be in your own home that you're, you're still up against these contrasts of things that you're understanding, that you're even experiencing the way that you're experiencing the world and understanding the world, and you're not always going to get that reflected back to you. And again, because, um. We people who are attracted to content like this, you know, we are on that bleeding edge where, you know, they're
just, they're humanity will catch up. And I do believe that we are in a full consciousness shift and we are really in the throes of it right now. And I think that things will be much, much different in the years to come. We're gonna experience mass change and there just are people who have no. Exposure to that yet, and it will be a big, um, it, it will be a big shift for them to, and they'll, it will be difficult for them to

23
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:08,000
find their bearings for a little while, while the world is shifting around them and they're, they have not had really exposure to any of this. So I do thank you for, um, for the work that you are doing to, to help, you know, even if you don't feel that you're necessarily doing. Much actively just the fact that you are open to expanding your consciousness, raising your vibration, to learning more
about the, the things under the surface of the mainstream. What's happening, you know, who's pulling the strings and, and how is this matrix constructed? And all of that kind of stuff. All of that, as you are readying yourself. You are kind of the, the new structure to help this new consciousness to anchor in. So it's really important that you are on the bleeding edge and that you're holding that

24
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:08,000
space. And so I hope that you have plenty of mirrors, uh, to and reflections so that you can. So that you can feel that, um, that cohesion with certain parts of the population. But you know, for now it is what it is and just, you know, hold steady and. Have a, uh, have some space in your heart for those who are, who are gonna be coming up to speed soon enough. So thank you so much for
being here. And, um, oh, I, I see Johann was talking about with the, yeah. The way people treat the environment. He sees it in Barbados when people get off the ships there sometimes they're not concerned about anything. They just. Think people will pick up after them, and everything that happens in this natural realm happens in the spiritual realm first. If people have dirty minds and

25
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:08,000
spirits, they tend to leave physical garbage and clutter everywhere. That is a great point. Yes. What we're seeing is a reflection in the physical of that. So. Oh no, I love it. Those are great points, Johan. Thank you. So thank you so much. Whether you're here with me and Johan, uh, live or if you're catching the recording, I appreciate you. I'm so grateful to be back. And if you're gonna be in the San Rafael area in California over
the weekend, please do come to the New Living Expo. I'm so excited for my talk and I will see you next time. Bless you. Speaker 2: Thank you so much for joining me for this episode of Soul Elevation. If someone in your life would be inspired or uplifted by what you heard today, please take a moment to share it with them. These are the kind of conversations that ripple out and elevate collective consciousness. And if you haven't yet, be
