00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Welcome to Soul Guiding Your Ascension to New Heights. I'm your host Kara Goodwin, and I'm so happy to be here with you today for this live stream on Monday, March 30th. I want to talk today about spiritual awakening, and it's a somewhat broad topic, but a lot of people are new to spiritual awakening,
and I feel like it's something that you can just kind of get thrust into. Suddenly you recognize that there is a spiritual element to life and it can be a little bit disorienting, so I want to. Just talk about that, what spiritual awakening is, how we get there, what is happening within it, and so

1
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:08,000
on. Before we start with that, I wanted to let you know that we had an amazing, um, event with Kimberly Meredith on Saturday, and it was a healing event and there was a star seed element to it. And that event now has passed, but you still can get the replay and the healing. That, and the activations that happened through this, this event were really powerful. And in fact, it was funny because I wasn't tired at all as we got. You know, as we were doing this, I was like,
I was hosting it, I was engaged, I was part of the whole thing. But when we got to the healing and activations, I could not stop yawning. And that is a sign of your, of activation when you're yawning. Yawning is a kind of a symptom of that. It's funny because I mentioned that when we finished, I gave that feedback that like, gosh, I hadn't felt tired at all. And then she started the activation. I couldn't stop yawning. And other people were like, I couldn't stop yawning

2
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:08,000
too. So, um, anyway, the replay is available. You can find that at kara goodwin.com/kimberly. I'll put, I'll try to remember to put the link in the show notes. But, um, I recommend getting that it's a, a $27 donation, um, but really worth it. Some really great activations came through and insights on, um, on Stars for Star Seeds in particular there too. Um,
so let's talk about spiritual awakening this. First, let's talk about what spiritual awakening is. It is when you have. Then moving through life, just through the physical, experiencing life in a very physical way, and understanding life in a very physical way, in a very rationally minded way, really just. Accepting what has been taught to you. So whether

3
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:08,000
that's through your family, well, it's a combination of what you were taught by your family, what you were taught through school, if you had a religious upbringing, what you learned through church, um, the media, how they have told you that reality works. All of these things. You've just constantly been getting these, this input about how the world works and your place in it. When you go through a spiritual
awakening, you start to recognize that there is a whole other aspect of life that is you as the spirit and as a spirit. You belong to another place, like you come from someplace outside of earth. You are a, an eternal being. You existed before this human body and you will continue to exist after this human body and that there are, there, that you have a soul, and that you have this connection to the

4
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:08,000
universe, to the planet itself, to, um, all life. That you are connected to life and you're not separate. And that you are so much bigger than what we seem to be in the physical. And not everybody goes through this. Um, some people just live their whole lives through the material world. They accept that. Body, maybe the emotions, maybe they're
tapped in a little bit to their emotions. I mean, they certainly will be experiencing emotions as they go through life, but whether they place any value on those emotions or not, who knows? They may just be at the mercy of their emotions, such as anger or sadness, and not recognize that that's a, those are signals that they can learn from. Um.

5
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:08,000
They may just see that the material world, the how you look. What you've accomplished, how much money you have. Um, the, uh, Hey Johan, um, that's weird that I see you on here because I, it's telling me that there's nobody watching, so I'm so glad to see you. Um, Johan is the host of the Boundless Authenticity Pod podcast. We have a lot of fun together. He's been on my podcast and I've been on his and we always have
a great time. Ah, thank you. He says, my hair looks great. You probably haven't seen the bangs. Thank you. Um, so some people are, are going through life just with that material perspective and they're not getting any further. And as you experience spiritual awakening, you start to understand that there's much more that's happening than just the physical and just the emotional, if you've even gotten that far. Um, and

6
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:08,000
so this can happen. All at once. You know, there are people who just have like a huge awakening all at once, but a lot of times it happens bit by bit. And when I say all at once, that can be a near death experience. That can be something kind of sudden. There are people who talk about, they were just walking down the street, sort of minding their own business and all of a sudden they can see. And they don't even know what it is that they're
looking at, but they can see like pixels of light or they can see like energetic, uh, the, like the energetic structure of reality. So that's possible. And usually that's associated with like a, an a Kundalini awakening and, and as an energy awakening through the body. But it also happens bit by bit where there are little awakenings. Where maybe one thing triggers it for a lot of people lately, or at the time period of when I'm recording

7
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:08,000
this, which is in 2026, a lot of people had this through COVID. Where they understood reality to be one thing, and that they then went through COVID and they were like, wait a minute, this is weird. This isn't right. And then they started asking questions and answers started coming to them. That went against what everybody was accepting. Um. Johanna is saying, do you think that many have a lifelong spiritual
awakening, whereas others have it suddenly and others have it in periods of time? Yeah, absolutely. Where there's lifelong journey, you know, there are people who are born awakened. You know, I, I love hearing from these people who, it's like they're, they've been open forever. They've just. And I feel that the kids who are being born now are more and more like this and will be more and more like this. Um.

8
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:08,000
Hearing from the nonverbal community, nonverbal artists, they talk about, um, you know, as they begin to be able to spell, for example, and communicate, they talk about this, they've been tapped in since the time they were born, but they couldn't express themselves. And then there are, uh, there might be periods like Johanna is saying, we might have it in periods of time where there is like, uh, it might be. Um, like you might
have for me in my story, I had a big awakening through some trauma and tragedy that happened within about seven months. I had a lot of dominoes that fell, that were really heartbreaking things that I went through, and that was a huge opening for me. And then we might have other periods of time where things kind of die down. And I think of those as like integration times. So we might not be like learning new things. We might not be

9
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:08,000
really feeling like we're progressing. I'm putting that in quotes. If you're just listening to the audio. Um, but that is an important time of integration where things kind of settle in energetically and we like all the new information and the new energies that we've had, find their homes within our energy being so that we can process and we can integrate and be able to move through our irregular everyday
life with this new energy or information. But it can happen. Like I was saying, like in through lots of different ways. So some people in modern times, uh, have awakened through COVID and something didn't pass the smell test, and they were like, wait, something's happening. And then they start listening and they start. Finding new information that leads them to other awakenings. Um, knowing Johan's

10
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:08,000
story that I, I, let me try to think. His episode actually came out as an audio podcast. You will not find the video for this for strategic reasons, um, because we get into some very, uh, controversial but important topics and. Any content creator who is pushing the boundaries right now against, um, established companies, um, you have to be very
careful what you say, how you say it, which is why I'm dancing around this right now because they're watching. They're, um, and they just. Get you right outta there. And so we cover, I couldn't stop asking him provocative questions because his experience has been really fascinating in the, the music industry. And he shares, uh, very heartfelt,

11
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:08,000
uh, information that he has received through experience about what's going on there. And as our conversation unfolded, I was like, I've gotta know this, but I also know I'm gonna risk. Content. So we got to a point where I was just like, all right, I gotta just put this out as an audio podcast so you can find that it's, I didn't release it very long ago. I wanna say I released it like last Monday, I think it was. So do
go to the audio podcast and I'll try to remember to put a link to his show in there. But, um, that conversation that we had is an example of another way that people. Can awaken. And that is by these established industries, these major industries of, of society. So the entertainment industry, media, medical, um, what am I missing here? Um, corporations major, major corporations, the food industry, the, you know, the big

12
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:08,000
industrial food industry, all of these tech, it's another one. Um. Any of these points, there are some really, um, eye-opening things happening under the surface. And so people may have an awakening that comes through understanding like, wait, I thought things were like this because when I trust these big, you know, companies are big parts of the machine. Um, I think they're supposed to be one
thing, but actually what's happening? Is maybe not in my highest good. And people start to understand that and it, so all of these things lead to other awakenings, and he's saying in summary, these groups are very interest invested in keeping us spiritually stagnant for the sake of control and consumerism. Well said. Yes. Thank you. Um. But, so as we undergo these different types of awakenings,

13
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:08,000
then they can lead to other awakenings. Uh, spiritual awakening can also occur as you connect, you might spontaneously or through some sort of meditation or a psychedelic experience, or a, um, a Kundalini experience. So whether it is something that you were trying to do or whether it came on by surprise. It can be an experience that you have as a human, but it, it's unlike anything you've
experienced before. And so suddenly perhaps you're seeing energy, you're seeing a being that you know is not physical. You're receiving wisdom. You might be hearing a voice that you know is not yours, but it's very distinct. You're receiving insights, you're receiving healing, you're receiving something that goes beyond the physical and it's. Reshaping your understanding of, of ex of reality,

14
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:08,000
where you're, you're like, wait, I didn't know reality worked like this. Because when we're only engaging with reality in a physical way, in a material world way, these experiences are outside of that. So this can be disorienting when these types of things happen. And especially like if you start to get on a roll and you're, so, let's say you start seeing that like the reality that we're given through all those things
that I talked about in the beginning, whether that's our family, our schooling, the media, um, the, you know, all the ways that the material world is constructed, that that tells us how reality works. And then we start kind of looking behind the curtain and we see like, wait a minute, that's just an illusion. But the more that we get exposure to different things, the more disorienting it can be. So recognize that

15
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:08,000
that is, that that can happen. So if you feel like that, if you have felt like that, that is not unusual. I have been talking to friends about things like friends who are in the awakening process. I can tell that there are times where I've just said too much and they're like, starting to shut down or they're like, okay, I can't, I, I don't wanna know
anymore. You know? And, um, we, we need to recognize that within ourselves because we don't, there's no need to push too hard. Um, we don't wanna break our, our grip on. Reality. Like we, we want, like you, you might just need to, um, not have a steady intake all the time. That completely uproot your reality. That can be really uncomfortable and it

16
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:08,000
can just lead to, um. It can lead to just this sense of like, I can't take anymore. Like I'm too disoriented. So just understand that that happens. But what's exciting is that as more people awaken, it's getting easier. It does seem that it's getting easier because we all share a collective consciousness. So there is this awareness, there's this, um, this intelligence that
connects all of us that we are all a part of. The more people who are awakening, we are all contributing and receiving from this collective consciousness field. And so the more people who are waking up, it's opening more pathways in consciousness for people to, um. To awaken through. It's almost like slipstreams where the more people are blazing trails and kind of through their

17
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:08,000
consciousness finding their pathways to truth, to a, a pure truth that is not inverted. The more availability there is for those who are still coming into their awakening to find their awakening more easily. I don't know if that makes sense, but. That is what's happening. So the more, it's like the four minute mile. You know how this famous, um, realization, everybody thought it was impossible to run a four minute mile and then one
person did it, and then it just started happening all over the world. It was like the barrier got broken and then it was like multiple people were doing it. That is what it is like too with, um, awakening into new levels of consciousness. It's like as more people do it, they're more access, it's more accessible to more people and it just, it's easier. And then just from a psychological perspective, you have more people that you see who

18
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:08,000
are disengaging with mainstream mar narrative and they're adopting like a higher. Level of consciousness, a higher level of living, you have kind of more, um, exposure to it and you're, you're seeing that and then it makes that also just kind of psychologically makes it easier because you don't feel so alone. Um, so I think that that is where I will stop this today. Just, I just wanna
encourage everybody, no matter where you are, because there are so many people who are, who are like, kind of in the earlier stages of this process. And first of all, welcome, like, we need you, so please, like, keep going. Um, but if you are experiencing any, any kind of dis. Orientation or, um, you know, where you're just trying to find your feet and trying to figure things out

19
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:08,000
and discern. And this is all normal. It's part of the process. You can do it. Just keep, keep going and thank you for being here. Thank you for being on your Awakening journey.
