The last video I recorded for my YouTube channel, which I’ll post below, was addressing what I believe to be an important topic.

It’s not a new subject for me at all, yet it can be nuanced, and it applies to all areas of life, our deep peace and true happiness, as well as our spiritual journey.

The topic is distraction.

Many will say we are here on Earth, choosing this life to experience all that this world has to offer. That is certainly a valid perspective, and I believe that is actually acurate at some stages of our developement.

Living within a duality that affords us many ways to experience both pleasure and pain the fullest, gives us many opportunites to learn human lessons. The world as playground for new experiences, both those that feel good and those that don’t. We live, we experience and then we die.

This can become the hamster wheel of life, of survival, of the rollercoaster of pain, please, happiness, and suffering. This has been the prism that humanity has lived with for generations. There’s an underlying stress that has been programmed into our 3D life experience. This is the conditioning of a modern world consciousness.

The more complex life has become, as evolution takes place, we have unending choices to occupy every moment of our day and night, with information and entertainment, with our options of going and doing. And now the expansion of social media and technology, into virtual technologies and AI, we rarely need to be in the quietude of our own being, for some even for sleep. Our sympathetic nervous systems are highly activated and our brains are overloaded. This is a subtle chronic stress in our body and distorts our energy field.

While all of this innovation can be wonderful and exciting, for those of us that are choosing the path of spiritual awakening, the externalized conditioning of the 3D has now officially lodged itself in our spiritual interests and activities.

The conditioning is that of going outside ourselves, distracts us from self, dilllutes deeper wisdom, and dissipates our energy fields.

The masses get caught up in the very real power of a collective consciousness that pulls our energy outside of oneself via seeking and experiencing. Our curiosity and desire to learn the next interesting method or class has been normalized, without the self-inquiry to ascertain if it is truly applicable to each persons true path.

Because channeling or mediumship is a popular methodology, for example, or crystals or tarot, it doesn’t mean it holds a high/true/deep value for everyone. We all have our calling, but if we’re ‘doing’ just to experience, and getting lost in the plethora of experiences, we’re missing a deeper truth.

Our true path is written within us already. But in todays spiritual climate if we continue to be be dicconnected and distracted from our own internal compass, we are missing a very important element in our spiritual development.

The importance and gift that are the yoga studios, the healing centers, the amazing information accessed via the internet, classes in absolutely every mode of spirituality, can’t be underestimated. It is a testament to the beautiful presence that humanity is undergoing the grand spiritual awakening!

This is the powerful climate we’re in. We step into this journey on one level, however, if we aren’t practicing mindfulness, the climate becomes just another mode of experience, distracting us from our deeper self.

Mindful inner listening and learning to be present within as a way of being, continually, is part n’ parcel of what all that is offered to us is ultimately guiding us to. This is the teaching of the masters, the saints, the yogis and rishis.

If we skip this stage, this deeper teaching, we’re simply being a part of a conditioning of consuming and ‘doing’ without allowing ourselves the opportunity to develop and mature and strengthen our inner landscape.

It is the inner wisdom, inherent in each of us, that is invited to be cutivated and nurtured via the right aligned methods, and then honed into a deeper intutive connection, that will guide us from within. We know our own unique right aligned methods/experiences, by learning to connect within.

Take what is right and true for you, and leave the rest.

The more we engage in the external conditioning of simply ‘doing’ spiritual activities, feeling better in the moment, but not taking it to the next level of our maturation, we will remain as a mouse, rather than rising above the duality into the eagle view, soaring free and majestically. That flight takes place from within.

By the same token, the more we engage in our deepest alignment, via developing our inner guidance, the more we live in longer lasting peace and happiness. By simplifying our external life and amplifying our inner life, we’ll be enlivened by lasting experiences of Divine Connection, Soul Presencing, Sacred Embodiment, and higher dimensional living.

Through coming into our Wholy Wholeness, we draw our energy back home to us. This means extricating ourselves from the collective conditioning, so we can hear, sense, feel, and know our True Self, and our True Path. As we attune to our Soul Song guidance, magic unfolds from within, wisdom becomes us, and we recognize all that we try to find outside of us to fulfill us, has been waiting within us, all along.

Feeling called to find more balance within, in order to hear your own inner truth?
