Lesson 167: VIDEO - Greater Mind in Action

We all want to feel connected. That idea is more powerful than any magic I can do.
— David Blaine

Today we are to look at this video and understand connection; that we all are interconnected through our minds. The video touches on this concept and that what you feel might be what someone else feels, and that feeling might not actually be yours. Empaths would know this all too well, but this concept could be bigger than what people could fathom at the same time. What if we’re surrounded by negative people and suddenly we feel depressed – could it be that what we’ve experienced just might not be ours? That somehow you’ve taken on the emotions and feelings of another just by being in proximity, absorbing and hearing all they have to say. If our energy is linked, wouldn’t that make sense? The video that Stephanie Bennett Vogt provided in today’s lesson was simply to try and expand our mind to this notion through David Blaine’s magic. I personally think it’s closer to truth than most people realise. It’s why I place a protective shield up most days… because I don’t want to absorb everything everyone is feeling at that point in time.

Have a think about your own awareness to your emotions and feelings and really start to discover whether or not what you feel is actually yours.

Lesson 167: We Are One With One...

We are all interconnected and “we are one with the One of all universal energy”. This isn’t a concept that everyone will come to know nor understand. For some, it’s too much for them to handle and even when told, they might not grasp the concept. We are one collective that has the power to make change together and influence each other. We can all come to one understanding though we are divided by difference. To connect with the Divine is an ultimate power though the closest some can come to understanding this, is through bliss. The Universe will send us information through small experiences. Today we are to notice a small fragment of this information that helps us to understand this Oneness.

My Saturday consisted of working at the witchcraft store, attending a workshop at the store, meeting some beautiful people whilst at the store and then going to a game of Australian football at night with friends. When I recount over my day, I believe all my activities go through the concept of Oneness and interconnectedness. When I was at the workshop learning about poppet magick, the group of ladies were discussing a rape and murder of a young woman in Melbourne. This is a high topic of conversation at the moment as authorities caution women to take more care rather than educating men to not hurt women. Even though this was a sad and unfortunate circumstances, I instantly felt that sadness amongst everyone. When we’re a collective of humans, it’s about sharing those type of feelings, whether good or bad. We are one in each other for having the same sympathy towards that particular occurrence.

On the flip side of coming together, I attended a sports match where everyone goes to experience a love of a team and share in that event. As a collective, we are all combined to find this bliss together in a shared interest. It’s such a simple activity but reinforces this concept of interconnectedness and sharing universal energy. It doesn’t have to be a grand act to be connected to each other. Simple things can really send a wider message if we want to acknowledge it. It is through these simple activities that teaches us how widespread a love can be and how in any situation people can come together for a purpose.

What messages did you see in the world today?

Lesson 166: There Are Many Other Ways...

There are many other ways to discuss the ineffable; choose whatever story, metaphor, parable, science, example is right for you. There is no incorrect path to the Divine.
— Sara Wiseman

The one thing that people should know is that to connect with the Divine is your own personal path and there is no right or wrong in doing it. Today I am to tell myself a story about my consciousness expanding and this can be difficult as it can be indescribable. I can go in and trust the Divine to provide me the story I need to tell.

The day I was awakened, everything I thought I knew was thrown out the window. Like everyone else, we all want to find a purpose in life or know what the greater meaning of life actually is. When I had reached a certain point where I didn’t know the point in living, the Universe showed me that there was. It was at that point where I understood that there was something bigger than me. I didn’t have to know exactly what higher power out there was, all I knew is that the Universe answered my cry and there I was awakened to a better purpose. I knew at that point, I needed to explore a spiritual path. Didn’t know exactly what that was but I figured it would present itself when it did. I didn’t know what I was doing and that was irrelevant because as it turns out, I would meet the people I would learn from when I was supposed to. I’ve opened myself to the possibilities. I have faced my truths and tested to my limits, walking away strong. I learn and grow because I understand what life is about. I walk the walk and I am a vessel that will teach others.

Lesson 166: Mind Your Own Business

When we become more aware of detaching ourselves from thoughts and things that no longer serve us, that can only bring good into our lives. That’s what this course is all about right? Clearing to make space in our lives. Today we are to think about what the world would be like if we compassionately minded our own business and allowing others to mind theirs.

As I think about this lesson, I think most people do mind their own business but to think about it with compassion is a different task. I think having the understanding that everyone has a story and this influences how they are as people – this gives us a chance to apply that compassion. If we apply compassion in minding our own business, it means we allow others to work through whatever they are going through, but also allows us to be forgiving in recognising how people act the way they do.

I think this is what it means to compassionately mind my own business. There is a level forgiveness and understanding we need to take in order to spread goodness. Sometimes we need to lead the change. It would take practise of course, though I feel like with patience and understanding, this allows compassion in us to grow.

Lesson 165: Energy Vibrates at...

Energy vibrates at a frequency. This is the same thing, using different words, as saying that consciousness unfolds.
— Sara Wiseman

So, today I am to see take a moment of reflection and see what energy shifts have taken place since I started this course and what my vibration is like.

I have taken my life in a completely different direction to what I thought I would. I didn’t know what I wanted to ultimately do in life but since starting my spiritual path, I know what I need to do. I think the most part is truly accepting myself and knowing that there is a higher purpose for me and I have to work hard to achieve that. I think I am living my best life and I have this path I’m on to thank. What I have noticed is that I want to try and understand people better. I am more patient and tolerant that I have ever been before. I do have my angry outbursts at times but I become aware of my actions and try to dial it back. I think I am so much more self-aware than I ever have been and that’s a good thing! I think the major lesson so far is to have more compassion of self as I do for others. This is ultimately what I believe makes the world a better place and when we can forgive ourselves, it makes it easier to be kind to others. I know I want to help people in this world in my own way. I feel like I’m vibrating at a higher level than I was a year ago. It’s amazing how you can change in a year to the complete opposite of what you were. I was awakened and I never looked back. I know there are even more good things to come and I am going to make it happen.
