417. Honoring the Path, Navigating the Awakening Journey

Forcing the rose to blossom

Speaker: [00:00:00] welcome to the soul elevation podcast, guiding your ascension to new heights. I'm your host, Kara Goodwin, and I'm so excited to be here with you today. Today I want to talk a little bit about something that came up in my recent live stream with Ken Lloyd.

Now, if you haven't checked this live stream out, it was from Tuesday. It was amazing. Ken is very activating. He provides a lot of information, but he also. Um, gives an activation. He gives a healing activation using light language. And it's really fascinating to see his evolution in such a short time because I had him on an episode not so long ago, just, I want to say it was like the end of last summer, the beginning of the autumn.

Um, and you can really see how much his, uh, how you can really tune into the evolution of his offerings now. So that's [00:01:00] super exciting, but I know it was a really powerful live stream for me at least. But one of the things that came up that I talked about in that episode was how, when we come across when we're on our, our awakening journey.

It can be so normal for us to want to tell everybody, and we, we want to convince everybody about the new truths that we're coming about, that we're coming across, and this comes from such a good place, you know, we, we you. Discover that there's a higher truth. We experience changes within us. We are coming more into the wholeness of who we are, and this feels great.

It feels aligned. And we realize that we're benefiting so much from. From this new spiritual understanding. And so it's very natural for us to want to share that and to let other people [00:02:00]experience it. And it can be kind of startling when we share these things and they're discounted. to say the least. We may, we may share things, a new perspective with people and they outright get upset about what we're sharing.

And it has the actual opposite effect of driving us further away from people. And I know that a lot of people experience this so, um, it can be a big learning and it can be confusing because we, we mean well, but people are rejecting what we know to be the truth. And so I want to unpack that a little bit because it is such a common thing to go through and beliefs.

Are such an important part of who we are. We have these foundational beliefs as humans of how we think the world operates and it just very naturally takes time. It can take time for [00:03:00] beliefs to be able to be challenged to be able to evolve. And people can have different levels of tolerance for their beliefs being questioned.

And so you can have, you can have every kind of experience when you open yourself up to people to offer a different perspective that goes against their beliefs. You know, maybe somebody is in a place where they're willing to. Consider this new information that goes against their beliefs, but oftentimes you're shaking the foundation of their reality and they it's it is natural for them not to take that well, either by projecting onto you worries for that come ultimately from themselves about mental stability, they might think what you're saying is crazy and completely dismiss you because they don't have any Anything to latch onto that feels real to them.

So the only [00:04:00] explanation that they have because they haven't been exposed to this before, or they have been exposed to it, but it's been under the context of what these crazy people are talking about. I mean, the media does this, they, they will often, um, make somebody sound crazy because they're going against the mainstream doctrine, the mainstream, um, Version of reality for many different reasons.

They'll do this. Um, so you may be, they may project onto you that you're crazy, make you feel crazy. Um, they make it angry with you and. It's that can feel very personal, but just remember that it, it is difficult. Think about it from their perspective. And you probably have your own experience in the past before you started opening up to these other versions of reality.

Let's say these higher truths. If you remember back to when you [00:05:00] hadn't been exposed or you were just getting exposed to it, it's, it's a tough pill to swallow to have. What you've taken for granted to be reality turned on its head. And so even when you've been, you've gotten further along and things start to make sense to you, and you want to share this, you want to open it up for people, just understand that everybody's on.

I had this happen with myself recently, where I was having a conversation with a friend and it was just a, a sit down, you know, like no big deal. We were just catching up and they were talking about, um, whether they should inject themselves for something that, you know, is supposed to prevent a disease from happening.

And they were kind of back and forth about whether they were going to do it. And this person is a very mainstream person. Sort of prodding it. Well, I was just [00:06:00] supporting their decision because they hadn't had this thing done and I was supporting that and I was saying, but they were very back and forth, you know, they were of two minds about it and they were starting to think that maybe they should do it because of different reasons within their lives.

And I said something to the effect of, you know, they want you, you know, who benefits from you doing that. You know, to yourself, it's, you know, you're, you might be get coming across information that's telling you that it is for your health, but who's benefiting from you doing that? And is it even true what you're reading?

And they sort of cut me off like politely, but it was the, they, I could tell there was a point where they just deliberately turn the conversation and was like, yeah, so what else is going on? And. This person knows that I, you know, they, they know my views that I do question things beyond the mainstream narrative, [00:07:00] and it wouldn't be a surprise to this person that I would offer a counterpoint if they're thinking about doing something like that, and it was just clear, it was very polite, it was very subtle, but it was a Closing down that conversation and turning the attention to something else.

And it was just a little bit for me of like, okay, remember not everybody has the same worldview that you have for better or worse. And, and I may be very, very convinced of my. And, and I'm getting that reflection in my world all the time because of the people that I interact with the most, that's just kind of a very common way that we see the world.

And, you know, it's, it's an, you know, stay in your power, don't hand yourself over physically, um, energetically to. Anybody who would do something to [00:08:00] insert anything into your life in that way. Um, but it is a very personal choice and you know, this person that I was talking to is, is not really in that world.

They're very mainstream and they're on their own path. And so we want to just be respectful for where people are, but also just, I just, my whole purpose is just to reinforce. With you that this is a natural thing and there is such goodness in wanting to bring others along with where you are in your journey, but just be patient, be patient with yourself, but be patient with other people to be a support.

As people start to awaken, they need more people who have already gone through the questions that they have, the information that they're coming across. They need people who they've thought are crazy and before they came across things that really made them open up to the [00:09:00] possibilities that there might be more going on underneath the surface than, than what they thought before.

So we can be holding space for these changes as they come without trying to really beat people over the head with it and really try to change people before they're ready. I love the. the analogy of a flower, the analogy of like a rose that's coming into bloom and you cannot force it. You can try to pry those petals open before their time but you damage the flower.

Like you don't actually get a nice healthy rose that is doing its thing. Everybody blossoms in their time in divine timing and we can't force that and if we try to force it It will damage the relationship that we have with people. And that's not the point. So just. Bear [00:10:00] that in mind, give people space, hold space for them as they come into a deeper understanding over time, if that's their path, accept them for where they are on their path, and keep going with your own journey and stand in your Confidence stand in your power as you explore things that are not reflected in the mainstream and let it be what it is.

That is, if you are awakening at this time, you are on more of the leading edge. You're, you're ahead of the masses. And that means that you will. So, you know, there is a wave coming where more and more and more people will be awakening very quickly. And so you're being prepared now to be able to be somebody that they can turn to as this happens and opens up for them.[00:11:00]

Keep going, keep doing your thing and let people do their thing and just honor the divine timing in all of it. So, thank you so much for tuning in. My book is available, Your Authentic Awakening.
