619. Is That Thought Really Yours? How the Astral Realm and Lower Energies Influence Your Mind

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Hello. Hello, hello. Welcome to Soul Elevation: Guiding Your Ascension to New Heights. I'm your host, Kara Goodwin. I'm so excited to be here with you today on Friday, August 7th, 2026. , Today I wanna talk about some really fascinating things that I've been experiencing in terms of telepathy,
and then I wanna tie that to the last topic. The last, uh, live stream that I did on Monday, I talked about the astral realm, and I talked about especially, like, that lower astral realm. I gave personal experiences of what I've experienced in that realm, the chaos, the, um Disorganization is just

1
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:08,000
very noisy, it's chaotic, and I touched a little bit on how that impacts us, but I wanna take that deeper, and I want to... I, I... It's very relevant to the telepathy piece of it because of what that shows us, what, what telepathy shows us. The other point that I wanna start with is that when I talk about the astral realm, this is not all-encompassing of everything outside of the physical. As you move,
uh, as your consciousness expands, and you, uh, get outside of this physical realm, there is the astral realm. That's part of what you experience, and for some people, that's all that they access. But there is more beyond the astral realm. There are different levels and layers energetically, and things become more coherent. They become lighter. There's less... You know, it just completely changes quality.

2
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:08,000
But that astral realm is really connected to our physical experience, so that's what I wanna focus on for today. So let's start with telepathy. So I have been hosting a telepathy group all summer, and we've met... Yesterday was the fifth time that we've met, and it's been really fascinating. I talked briefly about this with Geraldina Orozco, if you listened to that episode. If you have not heard that episode
yet, definitely dive into that. It's very packed with a ton of amazing information. But she talked about how she had started this telepathy group, and I was like, "Oh my God, I'm just starting a telepathy group, too," and we had, like, just started these groups. Um- We met yesterday, and it was amazing. What I'm finding is that every time we meet, it's getting... We're getting more and more dialed in.

3
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:08,000
And the way that I've structured this group is that, yes, we are co- connecting our minds, but we're first setting the field to connect through the heart. So we're, like, building the energy field for us to communicate through, through the heart. And I've done that really intentionally to keep that vibration high. There are other things
that I'm doing to really set the intention about where we're focused, where we're, um, connecting to... For the harmony, for the coherence, but also to keep things high vibrational, um, and to be intentional and deliberate. And, um, yesterday, we had people just knocking it out of the park. So the way that we do it is that there's one

4
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:08,000
person who knows what the targets are. We have... They select a couple of people to help them send mentally, to send the image, and then everybody else is receiving, and they're just recording what it is that they're getting. So mostly it's drawing. They're drawing what it is that they're perceiving. For some people, they're seeing things in their mind's eye. Other people are not so visual, so they're really... There are different impressions that
they're getting. Some people talk about hearing things. "Well, I heard this, so I wrote this down or I drew a picture of it." Um, some people, it's just even more nebulous than that. It's, you know, they're not really seeing, they're not necessarily hearing, but they're just getting this impression of something and then they record that. So like I said, yesterday when we were showing our drawings and our results, twice we had people who were just like,

5
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:08,000
they got it 100%. Like, they... It was like, wow, we just, we just did it. Wow, that's amazing. Um, because if you think of all the different things it could've been to draw, I mean, it's infinite, and they got it spot on, which was really exciting. But what else is fascinating is that there would be other people who would go and they'd say, "Oh my God, I totally didn't get that at all." You know, maybe
it was a very flowy, soft kind of, uh, s- more circular feeling Type of image in somebody's drawing is all of these angles, and edges, and ecor- you know, like triangles and things like that. And so, you know, the person... I, I feel like this happened every time. They would start by saying, "Well, I totally did not tune into that at all. This is..." And they're dismissing themselves. But other people in

6
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:08,000
the group are like, "Wait a minute. What you're sh- what you've drawn, I have that too." So one of us, for example, uh, had, like, cat ears, and just drew, like, cat ears, and I had the exact same. And it wasn't the target, it wasn't what was being sent, but both of us had cat ears. And what was really funny about that one is that then later in the discussion, in the, as we kept meeting, later one of the women in the group, her, her kitten
had gotten on her lap, and all we could see in her, in her Zoom video was her cat's ears and the very top of her cat's head. And we're like, "Wait a minute, that's exactly what we were seeing." Um, but over and over again, that same thing was happening, where people were like, "Oh, I was getting more of a serpent kind of thing, so I've got all these squiggles and these, like, kind of snaky type of things." And it wasn't anything like the image

7
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:08,000
that was being sent, but other people also had the squiggles and the snaky kind of feel, or something like octopus tentacles and things like that. So it's like- It seemed as though everybody was either getting parts of the picture that were being sent or picking up on other people. So it was really, really fascinating. Like, we all left this, this session yesterday, and it
was like, what... I mean, we're intentionally trying to develop our, or strengthen our telepathy. But when it actually happens in front of you, there is als- there's still, like, this wonder to it. Like, oh, my God, it's happening. So that's super exciting in and of itself. But why I'm bringing this into this topic of the astral realm is that, think about what I'm talking

8
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:08,000
about, the ability for us to be communing with each other intentionally or otherwise. So in the experience of people picking up exactly what was being transmitted, you know, okay, here's the target. It's a picture of, you know, an umbrella or something, and s- and people getting elements of that or getting the whole picture or getting
the word. But there's the other piece of that of we are in this informational field And even the stuff that's not, we- if we think we're receiving, we think we're in the receptive mode, we're also receiving what people don't even necessarily mean to send. There was another really funny, um, thing too where I had dr- uh, I had perceived

9
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:08,000
these two pillars, and I was describing them as pillars. Well then a- another person said, "That's interesting that you keep saying pillars, because I was getting pillow." And so she had drawn a pillow, and we were recognizing how similar pillar, pillar, pillar, pillow. Well then, that was the same one with the cat ears. So I had had pillars, and I had had cat ears, and
somebody else had had cat ears. Then somebody else had caterpillar. She had drawn and written the word caterpillar. And we, two of us got cat ears, caterpillar, cat ears, and two of us had gotten pillars. Pillar, pillow. And one person got caterpillar. So... And all of those people, those three people all were receiving. So none of us were intentionally sending, but we were

10
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:08,000
receiving, and we were receiving similar things, or maybe we were receiving what the others were unintentionally sending. But why I'm bringing this up is because we are receiving much more than we think we are, even when we're really intentionally receiving, trying to receive. So if we're, like, really trying to learn something or we're watching something deliberately. You know, if you
imagine in your day-to-day life, you're watching, um, a documentary or you're reading something intentional. You know, you're, like, meaning to receive. You're, you're putting yourself in a mode of, like, wanting to learn something, wanting to understand something. Yes. You know, we're in a receptive mode, and in some cases we're receiving what is deliberately being sent to us, so we're really

11
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:08,000
clearly getting the message that is being sent. But we're also receiving things that are not intentionally being sent, and we're also receiving things that we're not necessarily trying to receive. This is why I want you to understand the astral realm, because the astral realm is where there are... Well, I'm talking specifically about the lower astral realm. As I talked about in the last
live stream, this realm is close to the physical realm. It's very close to the physical realm. It is, by our standards, invisible, which is easy to think that it doesn't exist because we're not seeing it with our physical eyes. We're not hearing it with our physical ears. So it's easy to discount it. I can't remember who said it. It mi- I think this is actually in the Bible, but the most

12
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:08,000
effective, um, the most effective tool that Satan has is for people to believe it doesn't exist. That is when Satan is safest. That is when evil is safest, if you don't even believe it exists If you don't believe it exists, that is a del- delusion. Okay? And I can understand how
you would think it wouldn't exist. That feels better. But evil does exist. It exists, it comes, it is working through the lower astral realm. It is very close to the physical. It is invisible, but it is active, and it can affect your thoughts. It places thoughts and ideas into the

13
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:08,000
collective consciousness, into the field of thoughts and ideas that are around us all the time that our minds pick up on. And that affects and informs our thoughts, our behaviors, our words, our actions. And this is why it is so critical for you to work on
yourself spiritually, to be working on connecting to your heart, to the very essence of who you really are, for you to be deliberately connecting with your own higher self, and with ascended masters, and with benevolent beings of high vibrational light This is

14
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:08,000
critical because the more you do that, the more you strengthen your energy field, and you bring more of who you really are in a spiritual perspective. From a spiritual aspect, you are light. You are light. You are high vibrational light. And the more that you connect with that
truth, the more you bring it into your physical body and your physical reality, you strengthen your own energy, and it makes it, it makes you more impenetrable to those lower forces. So in the same way that in the physical world, the stronger your psyche gets, the stronger

15
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:08,000
your spiritual being becomes, the greater your convictions, the more that you understand the truth of who you are and what is happening in this realm, and you really step into the divinity that you are, your values get stronger. You become less easily swayed. You can have people present to you ideas that could try to, uh, try to make you do
things that are not in your highest good, maybe something that benefits somebody else, maybe it's a quick, quick, uh, get q- quick rich thing, but it hurts other people, so you're not interested because you know what's important from a spiritual perspective, and you have that strength. And so your, your psyche gets stronger, and you're, you're

16
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:08,000
more able to hold who you are and your values and what's important to you. And so it's, it's harder for, for you to come unhinged from that and be influenced by negative influences. So just like that would work with the humans, you know, so if the stronger you are in your convictions and knowing who you are, knowing what's, your values
are, what's important to you, other humans come in and they try to influence you and get you to do something that's not in your highest good. But the same thing happens spiritually So you get stronger spiritually. Your energy gets stronger, and you become less influenced by those lower forces, those invisible forces, those satanic forces,

17
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:08,000
honestly, that want to come in and influence humans. And you see that a lot of humans are under the influence of dark entities, negative thought forms, and negative influences, and they are believing them, and they're acting upon them. And it's not them. They're not aligned to who they are as a
spirit, but they're weak spiritually, and it is making them susceptible to thoughts and ideas that change the beliefs that, that influence their behavior. So it's, it's the same. It's the same thing. So what is really important, more than anything, it is strengthening your spirit, knowing who you are,

18
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:08,000
putting in the, the... I don't even wanna say the effort because it might feel like effort in the beginning when things, y- you know, you kinda have to change your behaviors, you have to change your priorities. You have to make time for things like stillness, for maybe for contemplation, maybe for some breathwork. But there... But it's this, you need to give yourself the environment for your spirit to be
accessed. And the more you do it, the stronger that gets within you. The stronger the light gets in you, the stronger that high vibrational energy gets in you And then you start to realize the pleasure of that, the fulfillment that you get from that, and then it becomes this self-perpetuating thing where you want to do it because you know it feels good and you like it and you like who you're becoming. But in the

19
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:08,000
beginning, it may take some change of behavior, letting go of some things that, um, are not helping you to do that, and any time we experience change, that might be uncomfortable or take time to take root, but know how critical it is, how important it is, and the time is now. Okay? We're, we're not in playtime anymore. This is really important. So I will leave it with that, leave you... leave that with you,
whatever. But I thank you very much for tuning into this. I bless you. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you for all the work that you are doing. Keep going. All right, you got this. Bless you.
