We've been taught to see ourselves as divided. We may say we're body and spirit, or have five koshas or energy bodies, or that we're composed of body, mind, and spirit. And yet, if I were to ask you to separate what is mind, body, and soul, could you do it without resorting to meaningless abstractions? I suspect not, because duality and separation is an illusion. What we call spirit is experienced as higher awareness. When people are looking into their heart's mind, that also is a form of higher awareness.No matter what your spiritual practice might be, it's always about attaining higher awareness. So then, is there truly a corporeal or physical level, or is this just a level of awareness, too?Want to hear more?

Each of us are creating our reality by what we believe and accept to be truth. This goes far deeper than merely seeing things differently from others. Each of us are literally within a box made of mirrors reflecting back what we already believe. Within this box, our truths are true. Whatever we believe, is true. If we believe the sky is gray and the grass is blue, then that is what our reality actually looks like. If we pray to a god of anger and retribution, then that is how our god works within our life. Within our box of mirrors, all that we know and experience and see is what we allow.Want to hear more?

What does Spirituality and Worldviews have to do with Language? More than you may realize.I don’t know whether worldviews determined the nature of the language or languages created the worldview, but it doesn’t take more than a cursory look at low or high context languages to see how they mirror the worldview of the culture's speakers. Asians tend to value community and possess philosophies/religions that promote a holistic view/relationship with the world. Westerner’s value individuality, and possess philosophies/religions that promote a person-centric mindset.This makes it particularly difficult for Westerners and Asians to communicate effectively. What is considered polite in one culture is considered rude in the other. What is considered obvious in one culture is consider obscure and even indecipherable in the other. This takes on even more significance when one culture appropriates the sacred texts or philosophical writings of the other and interprets it based on their own pre-existing language and perspective. The result is not an accurate rendering of the original writings, but a syncretism/merging of two different worldviews into something new, and it deserves a new name to identify it as something different than the original, because it is different than the original.Want to hear more?

Korean is hierarchical language. “Social hierarchy is ingrained in the language, more than any other language of the world, and depending on who you are talking to will determine what vocabulary, verb endings, particles, suffixes and address terms to use. Scholars say that traditionally there were 8 levels of honorific endings and around 4-6 are in use today.” (https://asiasociety.org/korea/lost-translation-cultural-differences-linguistic-aspect)[3] Drawn from https://savory.global/what-is-holistic-management/-----------------------DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be considered professional legal or health advice.We are not responsible for any losses, damages, or liabilities that may arise from the use of this podcast.This podcast is not intended to replace professional medical or psychological advice.

For too long, we've either focused on ego as a tool for self-esteem or blamed it for all the damage in our life. Ego is neither the hero or the victim. Ego is one of our teachers, the one who provides us with a choice. Like any good teacher, Ego uses the tool most available, and that tool comes from our lower vibrational reality: fear. To learn more, visit my website at https://thelightjournal.online. Common characteristics of Ego: • Loud • Demanding • Instant Gratification • Critical • Obsessive • Compulsive • Fear-based • Self-consciousness • Guilt and regret laden • Compares itself with others • Divisive

The world doesn't feel safe for many people, for many reasons. One of those reasons is the warmongering coming from so many different sources. If you took a moment to really listen to what's going on, you can see how fear is used to control every aspect of our lives. As long as we're afraid, we will submit to whatever is necessary to feel safe. That's not thriving. That's not growing.What is fear, except darkness? And what is darkness, except the absence of light? If you want the light, be what you are: light. Darkness is the psychological box you live in, filled with false beliefs, limitations, and feelings of separation from your Higher Self. In other words, darkness if made up of fear and lies. Light is made up of trust and truth. And what is the truth we need to trust in? That we are the light. We are Divine.Listen now to learn more!Would you like to know yourself as the Light?

Remember when I said, “Where the mind goes, the body follows”? It’s true, but what if your body isn’t cooperating? What if your ego doesn’t want to cooperate, even though you know it’s in your best interests? That happens all the time. Maybe you pick fights with your loved ones, or drink too many sodas, or give up when things get challenging. You know something needs to change, but you can’t find the motivation to do anything about it. So what can you do?That recognition—that you’re part of the problem—is the beginning of awareness. We tend to see things at ground level, so when you get a flash of insight or become aware of something that eluded you before, that kind of awareness comes from your spirit team and higher self. They can see things from a higher vantage point. With that higher perspective comes awareness, and with awareness change becomes possible. You won’t change if you don’t recognize you’re the problem.Listen now to learn more.Visit thelightjournal.online for more information.DISCLAIMER:This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be considered professional legal or health advice.We are not responsible for any losses, damages, or liabilities that may arise from the use of this podcast.This podcast is not intended to replace professional medical or psychological advice.

Every day, all day long, instagram, ticktoc, facebook, youtube and every other kind of news outlet is spewing out worldwideugliness. Marketers know that anger sells, so everyone seems to be competing for new and unique ways to rile us up. If we’re not paying attention, we can drown in it. Most of the time, there’s nothing we can do to change what’s happening. It just leaves us feeling helpless against the powerful few destroying the planet for all the rest of us. We feel helpless against the unfairness, inequity, and abuse of power. This can and does affect our sense of self, and our ability to align our internal compass to joy, peace, love and other higher vibrational energies.When we have a thought or intention, our compass, or magnetic energy, shifts to accommodate it. This energy is magnetic, and draws new possibilities into our reality. Every time we make a choice, that energy adjusts, flows, or shifts direction. These are subtle and minute shifts, but they happen every day, all day long.Listen now to learn more!

Did you know that your body talks to you? You may not always understand it, but it communicating with you. One of its languages is sensations, such as hearing, touching, seeing, tasting, smelling, temperature, and pain. Another of its languages is emotions, such as happiness, sadness, fear, contentment, love, hate, and everything else. Lastly, as a last line of defense, it also speaks the language of physical and mental health. This is what happens when you don’t heed your sensations or emotions. The body begins breaking down and developing illnesses. These are three forms of communication to help you live a long and healthy lives. If you listen. If you pay attention.If you like the content I'm providing and would like to learn more or to support my work, you can visit my website at thelightjournal.online.DISCLAIMER:This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be considered professional legal or health advice.We are not responsible for any losses, damages, or liabilities that may arise from the use of this podcast.This podcast is not intended to replace professional medical or psychological advice.You can listen to these podcasts on any of these channels:· Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-light-journal/id1731467158· RSS: https://rss.com/podcasts/thelightjournal· Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3cQ69Rz3wDbODSUQY9Q4hl?si=c8c98a2935a1476c· Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/04509d23-c652-4cdb-ac43-2cc870c2aad6/the-light-journal· YouTube: https://youtube.com/@lightjournal

Welcome to the new series, "Level Up Your Spirit Walk." In Episode One, I explore the concept of Earth as a University for Spirit learning.As a human, without memory of your true identity, when you go to Earth University, you can’t simply manifest a solution. You have to work through it. You have to walk through the challenges, limitations, and struggles that seem so simple when in Spirit form. Being human has a way of making things feel very real and very personal. That’s why you’re here. Personal experience transforms your Spirit-based knowledge into wisdom; wisdom that you carry with you into the Spirit realm. Incarnations are a powerful tool for creating empathy, compassion, and understanding for those caught in the earth’s karmic cycle.Listen now to learn more!If you like the content I'm providing and would like to support me, you can buy me a coffee here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thelightjournal..

You've been told you're small and unimportant, and that you are helpless to change your life. You are far more than that, and it's time to claim back your power.

Whatever we believe to be true, we bring into the quantum field. It’s not just what we believe, either. We bring our expectations into our quantum reality also. That’s why the seven levels of service require us to remove our masks and illusions. If no one is authentic, then neither is our reality. It becomes just as much of an illusion as our self-perception. If we don’t know who we are, how can we know what anyone or anything else is?DISCLAIMER:This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be considered professional legal or health advice.We are not responsible for any losses, damages, or liabilities that may arise from the use of this podcast.This podcast is not intended to replace professional medical or psychological advice.

Serving Higher Consciousness is not an easy transition to make, especially in a world that consistently devalues our intuitive and spiritual identity. And yet, if we did the work and removed our masks, developed a more authentic relationship with our psyche, learned to see through the illusions all around us, aligned to the Higher Self, and learned to trust and cooperate with its agenda, then we’re ready for what comes next: serving by Being.DISCLAIMER:This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be considered professional legal or health advice.We are not responsible for any losses, damages, or liabilities that may arise from the use of this podcast.This podcast is not intended to replace professional medical or psychological advice.

Regardless of how society labels you, regardless of how society treats you, you have come here to be what you are. You have come here to experience all the complexities of being you.

How is introspection an act of service? How is it related to the third body of consciousness known as the mental body in Eastern tradition?

We've been accumulating masks from the day we were born: masks that help us to function in society by being what others want us to be. In the process, we've forgotten who we truly are.

The newest series, "Seven Levels of Service" episode 1, begins with a simple concept: we choose to be born. It isn't a random result of intimacy, but part of a planned contract. So we must ask ourself, why would anyone choose to come here? And how is that choice an act of service?

Quantum entanglement suggests that consciousness exists apart from our body, so when we ask how we serve, it isn’t just about this body and human psyche.
