Journey Of Soul Growth, A Solo Podcast

This chat is about the journey of soul growth. An opportunity for growth. The inner voice that helps guide us, that intuitive gift that we all have. The opportunity of soul growth is never ending, this is about the journey not the destination.

Transcript

So let's chat.

Because 2025,

The annual theme is soul growth.

I wanted to talk about the journey of soul growth.

It's not necessarily the journey to because sometimes we think the journey has a destination.

And yeah,

Soul growth could be your destination.

But really,

It's a journey of soul growth.

Because every time we incarnate,

Our soul is growing more.

Every day that we're here on planet Earth,

We have opportunity,

An opportunity to choose,

Do I grow?

Or do I stay stuck?

Do I stay diminished?

Do I stay small?

And growth?

I'm sure everybody recognizes this,

Knows this.

But growth requires a focused energy at times of courage,

Of enthusiasm,

Using inspiration to decide what might be your next step.

And by inspiration,

I mean that inner voice or that inner energy that you can in tune with,

You can intuit.

That is your guidance system,

Your inner guidance system,

Because we're all divine sparks of source energy.

It's important that we develop those gifts like intuition.

I'm going to get to that in just a minute.

But the opportunity of soul growth is never ending.

So when we have seeming conflicts in our lives or issues,

Problems,

It is that your soul offering you another opportunity to grow through whatever that circumstance might be,

Whether it's a health challenge or a financial challenge or just a relationship challenge,

Or just witnessing what's happening in the world and feeling challenged by that.

The opportunity to grow on a deep,

Deep inner level is always available.

And because we have freedom of choice,

We can choose not to grow.

But in my experience,

Once you commit to really knowing yourself,

Knowing the truth about yourself,

That you are a divine being,

And you begin to really listen to that guidance system,

Then yeah,

You can choose not to grow.

But the thing about growth is it happens anyway.

I mean,

Think about a little kid when we were little kids.

I mean,

My family had the wall markers.

As you grew,

At two,

You got a line on the wall and a date,

And four or five.

And for some people,

Like my spouse,

He grew like seven or eight inches in a summer.

And that's painful.

So sometimes soul growth isn't just in increments,

Small increments until you reach your height,

Or really your spiritual height has no limit,

But your physical height,

Yeah.

It doesn't necessarily has to be small increments.

It can be a sudden burst of energy,

A sudden burst of growth.

And sometimes there's growing pains.

Sometimes there is.

And as a human being,

Like I said earlier,

It does take courage.

It takes courage to grow through those growing pains.

So the opportunity with soul growth is vast.

It's just vast.

But it is also the thing that helps us to remember our oneness,

Our connection to source,

Our connection to the universe,

Our connection to each other in humanity,

Because there's only one.

There's only one divine energy operating here,

Right?

And so having an intentional or conscious awareness that we're here to grow and evolve as a soul gives us a little more oomph to align with that source energy.

And I choose to call it aligning with a very high frequency of love,

Because that's what's there.

Only love.

All the other stuff,

All the challenges we think,

All the anger and hatred and shame and blame and blah,

Blah,

Doesn't exist in the oneness,

In the vastness of that all almighty energy.

It just doesn't exist.

So I choose to move through.

This is my personal soul growth journey,

And it's challenging,

I'll tell you.

But I choose to personally move through those smaller,

Low frequency emotions so that I can raise up and maintain a high frequency of love.

It just feels better,

You guys.

It just feels better.

And part of the soul growth journey is to utilize our opulence.

Now,

Opulence means wealth,

It means affluence,

It means riches.

Now,

I'm going to talk about that in just a minute,

But I want to read you a quote by my mentor,

Ernest Holmes.

And this is in my Live an Empowered Life,

A 30-Day Journey book.

It was one of the inspiring quotes.

It inspires me.

So this is,

Just think about the richness of your life or the affluence or the wealth that you may have or you may desire,

Okay?

So Ernest Holmes says,

You rob no one when you discover your own good.

You rob no one when you discover your own good.

You limit no person when you express a greater degree of livingness.

You harm no one by being happy.

You steal from no one by being prosperous.

You hinder no person's evolution when you consciously enter into the kingdom of your good and possess it today.

Your endeavor is not to locate the divine presence or awaken the activity of the law.

It is rather to become aware of this presence and its activity flowing through you,

Flowing through you.

So that is actually what affluence is.

It's to flow.

It's to flow.

So tying this back into oneness,

Right?

As we grow our consciousness and our soul,

We become aware that there is this connection that flows through us and flows to us and surrounds us.

And that energy,

That affluence,

Which is a subset of opulence,

That affluence is what informs us and then we can open up to the riches of our life,

The richness of our lives,

The livingness of our lives,

As Ernest Holmes says.

So opulence,

I see it as,

And I have utilized this as part,

You know,

As an ongoing intentional affirmation.

I am opulent.

Opulence brings me freedom.

And it's not in the having of things.

It's in the mindset of feeling affluent,

Feeling wealthy,

Feeling my soul's worth,

Really recognizing and feeling it and living the livingness,

Living from that soul worth,

And having the experience of the riches.

Now the riches to me are the inner gifts that we've all been given.

We all came in with inner gifts,

Whether it's feeling poetic and you become a poet or attuned to music and you play an instrument amazingly,

Or you have this mechanical mind that comprehends how a computer works or how a machine works,

Or those are all gifts,

Right?

And there's also the intuitive gifts,

The clairs of clairvoyance,

Clair omniscient stuff.

I can't remember all the clairs,

You guys,

But that you get my point.

Those are the riches.

And then there's the gifts of empathy,

Being empathic or compassionate.

Empathy often can open us up to an experience of compassion for others and compassion for ourselves.

Again,

Back to soul worth.

I know I have to be compassionate to myself when I make a mistake or I judge someone,

I'm critical,

But that being compassionate brings me back to my soul worth,

My value,

That I am valuable just as I am.

So opulence brings me freedom and freedom is also part,

At least in my experience,

You guys have to check it out for yourselves,

But freedom for me is why I'm here,

To remember the truth of my being,

Remember the truth that resides within all of us.

And that truth is that I am love and I am loved and I am valuable.

I am worthy and I deserve my good.

And the freedom that comes with that constant recognition is phenomenal.

It's just,

It's fabulous.

And I want to read you an affirmation.

I worked,

I have to find it in my book.

Okay.

This is an affirmation I worked.

Oh boy.

Lots,

Lots,

Lots,

Lots.

And it really brought me into an experience of opulence.

I move beyond old limitations.

I am free and creative.

I am beautiful,

Powerful,

And strong.

Now that's the key.

I move beyond old limitations.

I move beyond old thoughts.

So because we are a dynamic entity,

We are constantly evolving.

Our,

You know,

Our cells in our body are constantly growing,

Constantly sloughing off the old and growing new cells.

Our body is able to replenish itself,

To heal itself.

If we just get out of the way,

We just get those old thoughts,

Beliefs,

Hand-me-down beliefs out of the way.

And that means being consciously aware and utilizing our freedom of choice to choose a higher good,

To choose to allow source energy to flow through us,

To be affluent and opulent.

So limitation is one of the things that keep,

Gets in the way of our soul growth,

Feeling that we're limited,

That we're limited by our job,

By our relationship,

Maybe with our family or our spouse,

That we're limited by what we see going on around us in whatever said country we're in.

And limitation is a roadblock.

It just,

It stops you.

Eventually it turns off the spigot of source energy.

It turns it off.

Well,

It slows it down.

Okay.

Let's just,

Let's just,

Let me just say,

Call a thing what it is.

So,

You know,

The divine source energy is always flowing.

We just choose to slow it down.

Okay.

And that,

That could be because of trauma in our lives.

That could be because we're afraid to move forward.

That could be because there's so many external circumstances that we feel are,

Is the truth that we're afraid to experience.

So we just slow down that,

That flow of source.

We turn the spigot down.

Okay.

You can't ever turn it off because we are that divine spark,

But you can slow it down.

And that then limits you in so many ways and removing those limitations by releasing those old thoughts and beliefs is paramount.

And how I do that,

How I do that.

Okay.

Is,

Uh,

I journal every day.

I journal whatever comes up in the morning.

As soon as I sit in my meditation area,

That feels like it's slowing me down or that is drawing my attention.

Um,

And then I journal about it.

And I also then ask the inner wisdom of my heart.

What do I need to know?

Or I'm actually,

What I say is I'm listening.

And then I began to hear a higher thought form,

You know,

Uh,

A suggestion of a different choice I could make,

Or that actually everything's unfolding in the divine right order.

And I'm okay.

But journal journaling for me is like my cornerstone of my spiritual practice that and meditation and working affirmations.

So here's another one that another affirmation I used,

Um,

It in my journey.

And I still go back on to it.

Um,

And these are in my,

Uh,

Inspirational card deck.

I no longer participate in debilitating acts of invisibility in which,

Which have been,

Which have kept me from living my inspired life.

I am free to be fully me.

Now there's that word free freedom,

Opulence opportunity.

So many times we automatically,

Um,

Make ourselves small because of,

You know,

Again,

Whatever old thought or belief you were handed down,

Uh,

With,

Or you've created from your personal life experience thus far.

And then therefore we tend to want to be invisible or we have been told to be invisible.

Many women were taught that,

Um,

Because if you shined brightly,

If you were noticed it,

Uh,

It could put you in jeopardy by attracting unwanted attention,

Uh,

From men.

And so many women for decades,

Centuries did not choose to shine,

Did not choose to be seen because it was so life threatening at times.

So that act of invisibility is again,

An opportunity to choose differently,

To choose to shine just a little bit brighter.

Now,

Um,

I've been called to activate light leaders.

That's why I'm teaching,

Um,

So many light leader workshops.

And the reason being is because of so many of us have been called to be here on planet earth during this time of transmutation and,

Uh,

And change and growth and destruction so that we can grow more.

And it's important that those of us that have been called,

Okay,

I would say probably everybody,

But some people don't realize they've been called.

They're not consciously awake or aware yet.

Um,

But being a light leader means that you have got to relinquish that debilitating act of invisibility.

It's very important to be seen and to be heard,

Even if it's just in your family.

Right.

And so for many of us being seen and heard in the family of origin,

It is,

Is terrifying at times,

Or we don't even realize that we can have a say,

You know,

That we are worthy.

We are,

Um,

Able to speak our truth.

And now is the time to speak your truth.

Again,

Even if you start small with your family of origin or your friend that you may be feeling,

Uh,

Contentious with or your boss or your coworkers,

You know,

But allowing yourself to be that light and light leaders work continually to raise their frequency and align with the love consistently until that's the area that high frequency of love is the area we reside in more often than not,

Not the low frequencies of hatred and anger,

And that's debilitating right there.

Yeah.

Um,

But the high frequency of love that opens us up to receive more,

To receive more good,

More,

Uh,

Whatever.

So,

Um,

I just want to read this from my book.

This is something I wrote the journey to receive.

So I'm talking about opulence.

I'm talking about riches.

I'm talking about affluence,

Which all,

Which can distill down to wealth if you want,

Or health or,

Um,

Happiness or freedom.

So the journey to receive requires courage to consciously let go of anything,

Blocking your heart and remaining open to receiving your good.

It requires metaphorically letting go with both hands and trusting that all you are is sufficient to draw to you all that you need.

You are sufficient.

It requires accepting your truth that you are radiant light of love and always have been becoming receptive to all the universe has for you becoming receptive to all the universe has for you takes courage,

Flexibility,

And sacrificing your attachment to who you thought you were only in that way.

Can your heart and soul truly sore?

Are you ready to receive?

So that this is,

This is for me,

What 2025 could be for all of us instead of focusing on,

On the Mishigosh and the dinger dongers out there that are at a low frequency and causing a lot of chaos,

Focusing,

Turning your attention and focusing within on your journey of your soul growth of your soul value of your oneness,

Of your oneness and taking responsibility,

Being self-responsible for that.

And as we do that,

As we focus on our soul journey,

Our soul growth journey,

Then the gifts that we receive,

The riches that just pour down into our lives that open up when we open our eyes and see more possibility and potential is opulent.

It's just opulent.

And I,

Well,

I don't see why we all can't be opulent.

I choose to be opulent.

Opulence brings me freedom.

I was,

Um,

Uh,

A dear friend of mine,

Um,

Was driving a real beater of a car and,

Um,

And she kept saying,

I need a new car.

I should get a new car.

I need to get a different car.

This car isn't really doing well.

And she ended up getting,

Okay,

Watch your words,

Right?

Her intention was to get a new car,

But she didn't think she could afford it.

I think.

So what happened?

She got in a car accident that total her car.

So the universe is saying,

Yeah,

You want a new car?

Well,

You're not taking action on it.

So,

Okay,

Here's,

What's going to happen so you can get a new car.

So insurance comes and she chooses another car for her,

Which is new for her,

Right?

It's a used car,

But it's new for her.

And when I saw her new car,

I said it was,

It's beautiful.

And I said,

Oh my gosh,

Don't you feel like you're luxurious when you get in that car?

Because it's just so clean.

There's no dents.

It's,

It's a nice looking car.

It's,

You know,

Probably affordable and gets her places.

She goes,

Oh,

I don't care about luxury.

I just want to know that the car is going to work.

Okay.

Do you hear how that speak?

It just went,

It just,

Just slow down her receivership and it took a car crash for her to receive.

You hear what I'm saying?

So I want to encourage all of us on this journey of soul growth this year to really become consciously aware of what I'm focusing on and it,

And how do I feel about it?

If I feel yucky or depressed or angry or agitated,

That's a low frequency guys.

That is not where you want to live.

And so then it's up to us to be self-responsible and lift up,

Raise up our frequency by turning towards the light,

Turning towards love,

Going within and lighting ourselves up from within.

And that is,

Is why we're here.

Hello.

So journey,

The journey of soul growth.

Yeah.

Pretty cool.

Pretty cool.

Until next time,

Let's just be opulent and free and a high frequency of love until then.

And so it is namaste.
