Awakening Miracles S2 Ep 13: Suffering and The Condemnation Haunting

Awakening Miracles S2 Ep 13: Suffering and The Condemnation Haunting

Lesson 198 is our topic today: "Only my condemnation Injures Me."

We're getting sciency today to discuss how we 'attract' realities that match our internal beat up. Reviewing how suffering in life reflects a pattern of mental haunting of our past traumas and mistakes.

Awakening Miracles S2 Ep12: The illusion of the separate self

Awakening Miracles S2 Ep12: The illusion of the separate self

When we think of "who" we are, there are so many factors that come into play. So many pieces to consider that it can often make change difficult. From programming in the womb, to ancestral traumas, and environmental circumstances growing up, we have a plethora of 'things' we've based our identity on. Unfortunately, this blocks us from hearing God's voice. From seeing the miracles.

Awakening Miracles S2 Ep 11: The mind can only see what it's attached to...from the past

Awakening Miracles S2 Ep 11: The mind can only see what it's attached to...from the past

Lesson 8 is our topic today: "My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts."

As much as we want to believe we have free will, the reality is, we are only seeing the world through the lens of our past experiences. We are perceiving things as they WERE and not as they CAN be. So when you decide that you're ready to make a change, you'll have to retrain your brain to relinquish attachments to the past.

Awakening Miracles S2 Ep 10: Upset and its power over you

Awakening Miracles S2 Ep 10: Upset and its power over you

It's easy to get wrapped up, fired up and triggered when the depth of our hurt does the perceiving and thinking for us...but as A Course in Miracles shows us, the REASON we are upset is not actually linked to the current thing that's happening. The more we diminish the need to give a sliding scale to our upset, based on how much we hurt, the easier it becomes to see the gifts, find the blessings, and move through the lessons.

Awakening Miracles S2 Ep9: Love through Ego's lens

Awakening Miracles S2 Ep9: Love through Ego's lens

When you've been hurt, Ego gains the upper hand...having you believe that love is dangerous and painful. But as God IS love, we must review that mental connection to make room for God to show up in our lives. Today's episode covers Chapter 12, Lesson 4: Seeking and Finding to help you reframe your connection to the divine love that IS you.

Awakening Miracles S2 Ep 8: Projecting our internal dialogue out into the world

Awakening Miracles S2 Ep 8: Projecting our internal dialogue out into the world

The people fighting the worst internal battles tend to be the most judgmental...and have no clue that they are doing it. We will condemn others by comparing ourselves to them and their life, wondering 'why am I not so lucky?' or being righteous about our stance and though it's somehow better or more aligned. 

Today's episode is an inner reflection on how we project our internal dialogue.

Awakening Miracles S2 Ep 7: Making decisions with the right influence

Awakening Miracles S2 Ep 7: Making decisions with the right influence

When we've experienced trauma, it's harder to let God lead because the pain of our past tends to override our ability to listen with an open heart. A Course in Miracles shows us how to stop feeling like we have to do it all on our own and helps to guide us into faith with the Creator.

Awakening Miracles S2 Ep 6- When the past poisons your future

Awakening Miracles S2 Ep 6- When the past poisons your future

Today's A Course in Miracles lesson, "my mind is preoccupied with past thoughts," reminds us that what we perceive in this moment is not what IS. In fact, our ability to SEE what's present is not accurate as God is infinite and our thoughts are limited.

Awakening Miracles- S2 Ep:1 Strength and Forgiveness Through the Eyes of God

Awakening Miracles- S2 Ep:1 Strength and Forgiveness Through the Eyes of God

Our lens of perception will have us thinking we need to be afraid and judgemental at a time such as this. And yet, our power to create reality is squandered by these emotions. Wouldn't that be in direct conflict with what He sent us to do? It's important for us to consider our perceptions through the lens of Source so we can see where we're out of alignment. Here's how...

What if salvation can be accessed by hacking time?

How the fragmented mind keeps your dreams AS dreams

How the fragmented mind keeps your dreams AS dreams

It's the Ego...our limited, fear/lack/doubtful mind...that keeps us going in circles. This disconnection from Source locks our focus in on the non-truths of scarcity that WE have created for ourselves AS our only reality. Life based on this consciousness will only seek to keep us from manifesting our dreams. Today's episode goes in depth about letting go of immediate gratification to make room for a reconnection with Source.
