473. Remembering Who You Truly Are | Integration, Shadow Work & Soul Ascension

Remember Who You Are

​[00:00:00] 

Speaker: Hello and welcome to the Soul Elevation Podcast, guiding your ascension to new heights. I'm your host, Kara Goodwin, and I am so excited to be here with you today, Monday, August 4th. I wanna talk today about. Remembering who you are and what that entail in entails because when we are on a spiritual journey, we can think about.

That there might be like a version of us that we're remembering, meaning maybe we're trying to remember who we were in a past life or who we were in a galactic life, who our higher self is. Um, there might be these more spiritual [00:01:00] and less grounded ways that we think that we need to remember who we are.

And. That is, those things are a part of who we are, so it may help us to get access to past lives that we've lived, or off planet aspects of ourselves, other dimensional aspects of ourselves that can be helpful in our journey. Because we can then kind of step into the gifts that, that those other lives may have for us.

But I believe that in this human life, fundamentally our opportunity is to become more whole at the human level by accepting the entirety of who we are. So if we think about the word, remember. This came to me. Um, I, I was [00:02:00] reminded of this in the Galactic summit that I hosted over the weekend because Mina, the Andromedan ma talked about remembering and the way that she said it.

She said, remember, you know, and that was all she said. But it did remind me of the first time that I had heard of this decades ago in Neil Donald Walsh's book, conversations with God. And he in that book, which I would say is kind of a channeled book or automatic writing, but having had Neil Donald Walsh on the podcast previously, a couple times, maybe three times two, two or three times, um.

He clarifies. He doesn't see it as automatic writing, and I don't think he really saw it as channeling either. But anyway, I digress. But that. He dissected that, you know, the, the core of that word is member. And then we are re remembering, meaning we're taking these pieces, we're taking these [00:03:00] members, these separated members of who we are and we're integrating them.

We're. Membering we're, we've got this throughout our human experience, we kind of fractal out. We fracture out through trauma and through the ego there become all these aspects of us. And a lot of those, we, they become hidden. Again, when there is trauma or when there are parts of ourselves that we don't like, we can turn our backs on them and pretend that they're not there and bury them.

And that is where we create these shadows. So if you've heard of Shadow Work, this is another piece of the Galactic Summit from this weekend. Tony Gazi talked a lot about how. The shadow has impacted him lately, and [00:04:00] if you've heard other episodes of mine on the soul elevation, I've talked a lot about that this year too.

This has been a big component of my 2025 where I'm understanding the shadow in a different way, and I'm understanding the importance of the shadow in that. In, in Ascension, the importance of embracing the shadow in our spiritual development, in our ascension, in our journey to becoming higher dimensional, fifth dimensional consciousness.

To get through where we are into a higher state of consciousness. We need to be whole. We need to be unified. We can't move to a higher level of consciousness without alchemizing and healing those parts of us that we are not dealing with Now. Now [00:05:00] different people have different levels of trauma, so this may not be something that you're.

Able to do on your own. This may be something that you need to work with a therapist or maybe you need to work with a, a trusted shaman, a trusted therapist. I should also say, you know, whenever we have somebody helping us with our psyche, we want to, you know, be very tender and make sure that we're getting the right.

The right level of assistance for us because that's a very, you know, we need somebody who we can really trust. That's a very delicate part of our being. But I can say from my own experience that it's been a very important that I see those parts of me that I haven't been wanting to see, whether those are reactions that I have.

Um. Memories that I don't like that, that were [00:06:00] painful, that I have buried, have been coming to the surface. Um, and this opportunity is here for all of us and, and it keeps presenting itself. So it's not even just about the previous things. So I've talked in previous episodes about things that happened decades ago that I'd forgotten about that show up, and my inclination is.

Oh, I don't wanna look at that. You know, as soon as I remember it, I'm one shocked that I had forgotten about it. And two, I am. I'm immediately like, oh, don't think about that. That's not gonna take you anywhere. Nice. You know, you're gonna, you're gonna feel sad about that. You're gonna feel embarrassed.

You're gonna feel, you know, and, and so my immediate response is to turn away from it. Don't shut it off. Don't think about that. You're better off not thinking about it. But then I catch myself, oh, goodness knows how many times I haven't caught myself, but. Um, but I try to catch myself when that happens so that I can say, [00:07:00] wait a minute, if this is coming to the surface, it's time for me to release it.

And so this actually has come up even in the last few days for me. So, you know, life keeps happening. So it's not like we just, you know, face our, our traumas face our. Shadows and then we're done. Life keeps happening. And so I personally have noticed something in my world where I was feeling a little bit left out and it, there were a couple of things that happened that kind of exa exasperated that.

And, um, you know, one, it was just a, a specific situation. That had happened and I, and I understood the situation there. It was, uh, it was a. It wasn't that somebody was deliberately trying to hurt me, it was a circumstantial type of thing where, um, [00:08:00] you know, and I completely could see that from their perspective.

Like they had a lot going on and they, they were being pulled in a lot of different directions and things just kind of fell through. Uh, with plans that we'd had and that was fine. But then some other things happened and, and, um, with other people, and it was just, it. I could feel myself starting to get my feelings hurt, which is okay.

Sometimes our feelings do get hurt and that can be completely legitimate, but I could feel that part of me starting to take over. So there was a part of me that was feeling. Um, you know, really when I came down to it, when I really started unraveling it and it was like, okay, how really looking at it, what is it that I feel?

I was like, I think I actually feel jealous. This is jealousy is the root of what I was feeling. Um, that left being left out being, uh, was part of it. But I think even. I think [00:09:00] that what really, I didn't mind so much being left out, but then I was starting to feel this jealousy of like other people not being left out.

And I, and then I was like, okay, I think that's really what's got the teeth here. And so then once I could really identify it, honestly, because I, it's, I would not. I don't wanna think of myself as the type of person that is jealous. And so I didn't want to admit that to myself. That took a lot within me to even when I kind of suggested it to myself, is it jealousy?

It was like my inclination was like, no, I'm not jealous. Don't be silly. And then it was like, wait a minute, actually. Does this name fit? And I was like, yeah, I think that actually, if I'm gonna be really, really honest, I think that's really where the core wound is here. And um, and so I then, once I could [00:10:00] really get to the core energy of what that was, then I could work with that and I could see how.

There was a part of me that was trying to amplify that there was a part of me that was really trying to lean into this story to justify my jealousy, and I was, it was like I was. Behind the scenes, like picking this wound and really leaning into this story, really leaning into the victim aspect of being left out because there is a part of that story.

That's true. I mean, I could really lean into that and I could convince everybody that I was left out and it was unfair and. There was this justified part of that, but there was this other truer part of the story that was, that I knew it wasn't personal and I knew that this person was [00:11:00] really overwhelmed and I knew that the person that I really wanted to be was, I wanted to be the person that they could.

Break the plans with and know that I wouldn't hold it against them. That's really who I wanna be. I wanna be the person that people can feel safe to say, okay, well I don't need to worry that she's going to make me feel guilty about this or not understand and, and that. Was the part of the story that was really the truth.

I mean, I know the truth of this and. That was the highest truth. That was the undistorted truth. But there was this jealous part of me that was trying to distort the highest truth, to bend it, to invert it, and to really lean into [00:12:00] the fallout part of it, which was, Hey, my feelings got a little bit hurt by that.

And. Again, it's not that that's not true, but it's not the full truth. It's not the highest truth. And so there's been this whole alchem process that I've been going through, and there's been even some, I mean, you know this again, this is not like big T trauma here. I'm just using this as a current example.

I understand. That people have a lot worse things going on than this right now, but I'm just using this because this is what's shown up in my life. So I hope that in some way that it's helpful for things that might be happening in your life because life just keeps happening and we just have to deal with it.

But it's important that we recognize that things can start to chip away at us. Things that can look like they're no big deal can blow up and we can really lean into it and say. You know, no, this is the story and this is what I'm gonna, you know, and, and, and that chips [00:13:00] away at our joy and it chips away at relationships and it fractures ourselves because we are not, we're creating these members that are these painful aspects of ourselves, and they're getting more life, they're getting more energy.

But when we can be truthful about what is happening in the moment or you know, when in the period of time that we're in as life is happening, we can really dive into it and, and be truthful with ourselves and have that alchem that happens, that we can remember who we really are and. Alchemize that, and then what I was starting to say is we can pray about that.

We can. We can talk to God about that. We can talk to our higher self and say, okay, I mean, this is what [00:14:00] has been part of my process anyway. This is, and I would recommend this having this. Conversation inwardly with God, who loves you with your higher self, who is on your side, who wants you to keep growing, to keep ascending and wants you to remember, wants you to have that wholeness of who you are so you can talk to those beings or those aspects, however you want.

It's hard to say that God is a being, but um. The, you know, maybe there's an, a particular ascended master that you feel connected with Jesus Christ, Yeshua, um, Buddha, you know, there you have so much help on the other side, but my point is you can talk to them and you can tell them, okay, this is what I'm recognizing.

Can you help me to alchemize this? Help me to integrate this help to dispel and to dissolve the. [00:15:00] The, um, painful parts of this, the, this, the stinging parts. So for me it was, okay, I'm recognizing that I have jealousy here. Help me to dissolve this jealousy. Help me to alchemize it. Help me to integrate this, help me to accept the parts of me that I don't want to.

That I don't wanna accept that are part of me, but I know I need to accept that that's part of me and help me get through this and help me transform it. And that is how we grow. And that is how we keep remembering who we are. And you can do this. And again, you may need some help. So don't, don't feel. Any shame in getting help?

If you're dealing with something really heavy, please lean on other trusted people who are there to support you. We are not meant to go through this life in isolation. So [00:16:00] all of that. Um being said, I bless you. Thank you for watching this. The replay for the Galactic Summit that I mentioned previously is available for purchase that is $27.
