Transcript

Welcome today we are going to dive deeper into initiation into self mastery we're gonna I want to cover a few important aspects on this topic,

Just enough to give us a sense of what is self-mastery,

How does self-mastery look like.

Through time and space and traditions and concepts,

There's so many theories around this topic.

Every tradition has a version of self-mastery,

Whether they call it enlightenment,

Self-realization,

Self-actualization,

You know,

There's so many ways and shapes and forms of describing what this is and I was like Inquiring to myself,

I was like,

What do I want to share about this?

What was my journey?

Really,

How do I feel that I mastered myself so far?

And how would I like to share that with people?

So everything that comes through is from my own personal experience and from my own experience.

Interpretation of this.

There is no conceptual teaching or belief that I have about this.

It's pure raw experience through life.

Not just in this lifetime,

But in many other lifetimes that I saw.

And work to release any karmic debt.

So I actually worked with seven generations of seven other incarnations that I had in different lives that I had to release karmic depth from whether that was collectively or for my own journey.

And also when we do that,

We're actually retrieving gifts from these lifetimes.

You know,

When we have past lives,

Remembrances in who knows different kingdoms in the past,

It always comes with a remembrance and without remembrance there comes an embodiment.

Right?

So.

And a gift.

And I remember at some point.

.

.

I was working with someone that we did a session,

We did a few sessions,

I guided this person a little bit in one on one.

And Throughout the journey,

She started to sing.

And what came through was a very ancient Middle Eastern voice of a deep,

Wise woman coming through her.

And she never asked us that.

Before.

And through that came the memory of a past life.

Somewhere in Middle East.

I think Persia or something,

I don't remember exactly,

I think it was Persia.

And so this is how powerful this is.

This is how powerful and how deep self-mastery goes.

It spans beyond life time,

Beyond this current life time.

Basically the the tip of the iceberg of how many lives we lived before And so.

It's safe to say that self-mastery is a continuous journey.

It's a continuous journey that never ends.

Because in these human vessels we can only expand our awareness more and more and access more of our potential.

Activate our DNA and access more and more of our potential.

So it's not like you reach a destination and there you are,

You're now enlightened and you don't need to do anything anymore and you don't expand anymore.

We have been sold that a lot of times as the destination,

You know,

This is where you can reach and that's the destination,

But the truth is that.

.

.

Whether you believe in enlightenment,

Ascension,

Self-realization,

Whatever form of self-mastery you believe in,

That's just the beginning.

Is beginning of a new version of you and then a new version of you gets reborn from that,

A version that is more at service,

A version that has power,

Way more power than the previous one.

And so what do we do with that power?

How do we weave that power in creation?

That's a deep question that we have to ask.

Ourselves in also answer.

And that all is part of self-mastery.

Four specific things when it comes to self-mastering.

That helps us initiate our cells,

I believe.

Into this knowing.

Of what it takes to be on this journey and what is really important.

So this is what I received.

Ahem.

Okay so the first thing is that Self-mastery is not about concepts and beliefs,

As I said.

It is not about what Hinduism says,

What Buddhism says,

What Kabbalah says,

What Christians say,

What Muslims say,

Whatever other religions say.

It is not about that.

Every single teaching,

Tradition and scripture can guide us to truth,

But the truth is that there were also through time.

Manipulated,

Transformed.

And I would say even inverted to a certain degree.

Depends on who was ruling in those times and who had power over this,

You know,

Deep teachings and wisdom.

I believe that we can find that answer within ourselves.

If we all ask ourselves deeper and we are able to listen,

We can find the answer of what does it mean self-mastery?

How can we initiate ourselves more into this?

And this is what I asked myself.

I was like,

Okay,

What does actually self-mastery is?

Beyond the concepts,

Beyond the beliefs,

What is it?

Beyond traditions,

Beyond what this teaching and that teaching says,

Which we can respect and we can guide ourselves through,

But important is to listen to ourselves and that is part of self-masteries to learn how to listen to yourself on a deeper level.

So for me surfmaster is about walking every day.

More with the knowing that I am the creator of my reality.

That the Creator exists inside of me.

And inside of you and inside of everything around because the creator is a frequency,

Is an energy,

It's a force Right,

He's not someone that.

.

.

Decides things for us.

It is a force that we can access.

It is the force that has created everything in creation.

Right from stars,

To galaxies,

To planets,

To animals,

To human beings,

To everything.

How can we live connected with that force?

How can that force inhabit this human vessel that we have?

That is for me self-mastery.

You know,

Because the more we are rooted in that.

Frequency of the Creator,

The more we are connected with our mission,

With our purpose,

With our soul,

With what we came here to do.

The more every action we take.

Has impact.

We walk with presence,

We walk with certainty in life.

And this is what I discovered from my journey.

Like strive to attune myself to that energy.

The more masterful I become in everything I'm doing,

Whether that is eating an apple or teaching a session here live or having a one-on-one deep client session,

Or even taking a nap.

There's a mastery in how you take a nap.

You know,

How you position yourself.

Is that in the shade or is it in the sun?

It all affects you.

And so it's a deep awareness of yourself and your surroundings.

And your environment,

Your impact in the environment and how the environment has an impact on you.

So that is what self-mastery is and how to access that is to.

.

.

Who basically realizes it's logic.

It's not so much about believing and spirituality here.

It's literally science and logic that we are made.

From the most powerful force in creation.

We are birthed in this human form.

Through the feminine.

Through the womb.

All of us.

Highly intelligent creation.

Right.

So we have to trust that this is what we are.

This is who we are at our core.

We are creators creating reality constantly creating our lives.

Creating the meaning behind our lives.

A tuning ourselves to different destinies.

Because We can,

I believe that before we came here on Earth,

I believe that we.

.

.

Created.

I don't even believe that.

I feel that.

I know that to be true.

I actually saw that in a vision a couple of years ago,

How I have chosen different movies.

It's almost like there's a library of movies that I have.

Maybe the same movie in different ways.

And at each step of my journey,

I can choose.

The choice I make creates a new destiny,

Creates a new timeline.

A new version of me that experiences life in a different way and also has an impact on life.

Impact in the creation in a certain way.

And so when we are listening deeply to that creator within,

Not to convince ourselves that that creator exists.

This is not about convincing ourselves that we are creators.

We are all ready.

That creator.

That is proven by reality.

That is proven by the fact that we exist.

So we don't have to prove ourselves,

I'm a creator or I'm not a creator.

We are all creators,

Whether we create by default or whether we create intentionally.

So most people create by default and they create through the programming they received to the.

.

.

Education they received.

The conditioning they received,

The patterns of their parents and family and so on.

And also the karmic depth from other lifetimes.

So it's all about being aware of all of this.

This is the environment,

Right?

Being aware of all of it.

And alchemizing that into what do I really,

Really want in this very moment?

What do I want to experience?

What do I want to live?

Where am I heading?

What would be my experience?

What am I excited to live?

And dedicate my life to words.

This is what for me self-mastery.

Is all about.

How do we walk that path in creating ourselves and our lives?

And the impact we have.

On this beautiful planet.

So It's all about being in charge of our energy,

Of our energetic imprint.

And our attention.

So the more you can be in charge of your energy,

Where it goes,

How it works.

How you process things,

What happens inside of you,

What are you experiencing right now.

The more masterful you are going to be.

And you cannot be 100% masterful.

We know that the subconscious mind controls us 95%.

With only 5%.

Or 10% let's say,

It's conscious decision and conscious processing,

Right?

90% is subconscious.

But when we are aware of that,

When we allow the subconscious to do its thing and we see what it leads to,

What action it leads,

Some people by default think negatively.

There are some people here maybe in the lives that are triggered by what I'm saying because I invite them into a new layer of perceiving reality.

Into a new frequency.

Other people might be.

Excited to hear this and they resonate and they say oh wow this makes sense thank you so much So we cannot have.

.

.

Influence much of a how information is received externally,

But we can have influence of what wants to come through us.

When I'm here with you,

This is a purely free flow.

Session.

Transmission.

I only prepared a few guidelines and based on that the energy takes over my channel and expresses my truth in the way it should.

It feels that the people in front of me can resonate with.

So it depends on the container.

It depends on all the things around us.

So this is what I mean by being in charge of the energy.

I'm aware of it.

I'm aware of this moment.

Of the next moment.

That they immediately next moment I'm not aware of the next five seconds what I'm going to see in the next five seconds but in this very moment I'm aware of what I say and how that is you know,

Delivered to the person in front of me.

So in the same way we can observe our own thoughts.

Even if it comes from the subconscious,

Even if it comes from a place that we have no control over.

Be aware of how you deliver something,

How something comes out of you.

And what impact does it have on yourself and reality.

In front of you.

Your community,

Your family,

The person that receives your expression.

So that is self mastery,

Being aware.

And when you are aware,

Then you can focus the attention a little bit in a the direction that you want.

To,

You know,

For it.

Energy to go towards.

Or the communication,

The expression to go towards.

What do we want to create with that?

Expression.

And these moments.

.

.

To give an example,

Every time I do a public speaking event,

Every time I'm in front of Yeah,

Like a large number of people or maybe.

You know,

I'm a DJ as well,

So I create through music,

I create vibrations and frequencies so that people feel certain things.

So this is always the invitation is,

How aware am I of the crowd in front of me?

What do I want to deliver to that music?

How do I want people to feel?

So this is what I mean when I say you are in charge of the energy.

You are in charge of the output that comes through you.

That is part of self-mastery.

It's not about,

Oh,

I'm aware of how I feel and what's inside of me and how to regulate myself.

That is first,

But that is important.

But then what do you put outside of you?

It is also highly important and also part of self-mastery.

So if we are aware of these two things,

These two main things,

How do I feel inside of myself?

What is my current experience?

And how do I express externally?

That is already.

A great place of search mastery that we have.

Activated inside of ourselves.

That is how we walk through life.

The most possible presence.

Every single moment.

How How do we cultivate more of this?

Because this is something that might happen for half an hour,

One hour,

Ten minutes.

Or have you noticed that?

Each time you deliver something,

You create something outside.

You are in that state,

You are in that flow state,

And at some point.

.

.

You get out of that.

You simply get out of that.

You get either tired or you want to take a break from it or you just want to come back to your humanness and feeling yourself,

Feeling your body.

The training is to constantly,

To deliberately choose alignment,

To deliberately choose that presence.

And you can extend that to 24 hours.

I've been 12 years ago I had a Kundalini activation.

I didn't do anything special for that to happen.

It just happened to me.

And since that moment,

For one year and a half,

I was completely present at every single moment.

I was completely conscious Every decision I took,

Every intention,

Every thought,

Wherever it went.

Completely.

Right,

So.

That was the most.

.

.

Impactful time of my life.

It feels like in that one year and a half I created my entire journey.

I put pieces of the puzzle together in that time.

I don't even have to think about and concern myself with anymore.

I don't know what happened,

I don't know why,

I think this was part of my destiny,

But that was my deepest,

Most profound awakening I ever had.

So for one year and a half.

It's almost like I could not get out of being present.

I was constantly present.

It felt like I was superhuman.

I was like.

.

.

I know at some point I needed $30,

000.

And I manifested that in one week.

Everything I was thinking was materializing almost instantly.

It was really a very wild experience.

I wrote about that experience in my book.

A.

Sometimes I still receive insights from it.

So that was my most present time of my life.

I was one year and a half.

Let's say 90 95% present at any time.

Every single step of my journey.

Until I had an operation.

You know,

I had an operation and I was having anesthesia.

And that literally cut my Kundalini energy and I woke up.

Some sort of Mental fog I would say like I almost like amnesia.

I forgot that I have that power to be present You know?

And so many of us,

I realize that so many of us live by default in that amnesian state.

And since then.

.

.

I was always kind of back and forth to being present,

Going into amnesia,

Being present,

Going into amnesia,

Being present,

Going into amnesia.

And this is what we all do.

We're constantly practicing this frequency.

So the mastery here is to deliberately choose alignment.

You wake up in the morning and Your mind has a default state,

That when you choose,

I'm going to align first,

I'm going to align with the creator first.

I'm going to sit in a prayer,

In a meditation,

In whatever practice helps you to align with the creator first.

And you do that,

You devote yourself to that practice.

From that moment,

Once that is established,

Your whole day,

You can experience a whole day of full presence.

Personally if I bypass that moment in the morning When I do not choose intentionally to align myself with the Creator,

With this knowledge and wisdom,

That I am that force and that force runs through me and operates through me and executes every task I need to do in the day.

Whether it's to write a book,

Whether I'm seeing a client,

Whether I'm going to do errands in town.

If I'm not attuning to that frequency,

I might walk through life a little bit amnesic.

Or a little bit in the clouds of my own thoughts,

Thinking about this and that,

Thinking of my daily tasks.

Without necessarily being in front of my computer to execute them.

What's the point of thinking of your tasks if you're not in front of your computer?

You're going to utilize that energy you know,

For no reason.

Because you cannot apply in those moments.

You cannot.

Show up for those tasks.

So all of these things happen by default.

We are constantly in this induced state of anticipation and worry.

And what if and what should we do?

And we're actually not fully,

Fully rooted and present with life,

With every single moment,

With what's in front of you.

So self mastery is to deliberately choose Alignment.

To deliberately choose to be in that state of alignment.

Not let the day run past you,

Not let the first hour of the day run past you without doing.

This alignment works.

Right?

And every single person has to do that.

I don't care how enlightened.

.

.

We think we are,

How aware we think we are.

There is nothing to lose.

In choosing to connect a little bit deeper with yourself.

Or the default is what?

We wake up in the morning,

We are scrolling on Instagram,

We are scrolling on whatever platform.

We are getting on this default state where we think about what we need to do at work,

What happened yesterday,

What was your dream.

And all of that.

If you.

.

.

Self-correct,

I would say.

Each day where your attention goes in the first moment of the day,

In the first 10 minutes of your day.

You have won the day.

You have conquered that day because once alignment kicks in,

Nothing else matters.

You know,

That day is going to run in the best possible way.

Is going to be the most efficient day.

If we are run by whatever happened last night,

Whatever happened one week before,

Whatever will happen in the future,

Whatever we dreamed about.

Whatever is happening in the moment,

Whether the children make some sound or the dog needs to be taken on a walk.

If we are run by that without really tuning in,

Sometimes it can take really five minutes of full presence with yourself,

Allowing yourself to breathe,

Allowing yourself to come back to life.

And from there.

Walk the journey,

Walk the path forward in whatever is calling you to create,

To execute,

To,

You know.

To do in that day.

Um.

.

.

Yeah,

If we don't take charge of those moments.

The default kicks in and we are living life by default.

And we think we don't have power over us,

Over ourselves.

And we need courses,

We need reminders,

We need this and that.

So let's take charge of those.

5 minutes of alignment each morning.

And you can take these 5 minutes of alignment,

However you want,

You can go in nature and You can listen to a sound,

You can focus on your breathing,

You can just be in silence for 5 minutes and just feel and be and allow presence to come into your body.

You can utilize this in every single moment of your day.

Whether you start in the morning and you do it at noon again and you do it in the afternoon and in the evening,

It's always going to be the same.

A benefit.

To bring you more into self-mastering.

So this is what helps me.

This is really what my practice has become.

Set the intention Set even a reminder.

To deliberately Be present in this moment for five minutes and see what happens.

And take.

Charge!

Of the will of your life.

Of your journey.

Just try it out,

See what happens.

So yeah,

This is what I wanted to share about this topic.

Ok guys,

Sending you lots of love,

Remember you are the creator,

The creator exists inside you.

Be present with that,

Everyday a little bit more,

Be deliberate.

With your energy.

Choose to be aligned before you take any actions.

Choose to be not in a reactive place.

You have power over that.

I know it seems like you don't,

But you can train that.

You can practice more and train that.

I promise it works.

It works for me.

It works for the people I work with.

It works for friends that I have.

So it works.

This is why I'm here sharing with you.

Much Love!
