Spirituality and self-help and personal development
in psychology and relationships
and health and wellness
are quite frankly so enmeshed
that as far as markets go,
they're considered to be one and the same field.
We could spend time
separating out all of these elements from one another,
but in today's episode...
I'm going to show you
how in the big picture,
all of these things really do go hand in hand.
The Human Layer Cake
The first thing to understand
is that incarnation is really about non-physical energy,
what we would call "spiritual energy",
manifesting into the physical.
This means that there is nothing that is not spiritual.
Everything in physical existence
is in fact spiritual by nature.
From this perspective,
you are a spirit having a human experience.
And anything in the physical dimension
is really spirit first, having a physical experience.
Therefore,
it is impossible to really say what is and is not spiritual.
You incarnate into the physical for a very important purpose.
Now on a minute more subjective level,
that is personal expansion,
in the more objective sense, that is universal expansion,
which is occurring through you.
For the sake of your understanding,
the process of consciousness manifesting as a person in the 3d
can be compared to creating
and then coming into first person perspective
of an avatar in a video game
that you also happen to have created.
The point is to be fully focused
into this video game, so to speak...
So as to make the very most of that experience,
and use it to level up.
This means that the most spiritual path
is to really fully live your physical existence.
It is to become
self-actualized in the physical.
To make the most of your life itself,
to consciously use your physically incarnated experience
to become aware
and to use that awareness to consciously create in the physical,
is in fact the highest spiritual path.
This means there are people who do not think of God
and who are not aware of their non-physical self,
but whom are powerfully committed to self-development
or the perfection of a craft here in the physical,
say a passionate musician,
for example,
who are in fact walking a more spiritually in alignment path
than some who have dedicated their entire life to God,
or an afterlife,
or to spiritual discipline.
Many people who are aware
that there is a non-physical reality or dimension to life itself,
aren't aware of this.
In fact, they're convinced of quite the opposite.
They're convinced that the purpose of life
is to somehow wake up out of it.
As if it's some kind of illusion that they're meant to transcend.
To understand more about this, watch my video titled:
How Human Intelligence Is Destroying Human Nature
(The Anti-Human)
Becoming aware implies
also becoming aware
that this physical existence is not all there is to existence itself.
It's becoming aware
that there is a non-physical dimension
to this existence.
Therefore your physical self that you call by your name
is not all that you are.
Because you are not just physical,
awareness implies becoming aware of what is spiritual or incorporeal.
The bigger picture of this universe.
The degree of both personal and universal expansion
that occurs with this awareness, is exponential.
Becoming aware, also implies
awareness of your physical aspect of existence.
When non-physical energy manifests in physical form
as a physical human,
it does so in three primary layers.
We could call these:
Mind, Feeling and Body.
Becoming aware of all three and caretaking all three,
is a necessary element of alignment.
Awareness and care taking of all three
is critical when it comes to your physical health,
your physical well-being,
as long as creating an alignment
between your physical and non-physical perspective
so as to stay in alignment with the purpose
for coming here in the first place.
Here's the problem...
Given that this is part of awareness,
this means that it drags the concept of physical health and well-being
into the picture of spirituality.
This complicates things further.
Health and wellness
now cannot be considered entirely separate from spirituality.
So is a spiritual leader now a healer or doctor, too?
On top of this,
coming into a separate physical incarnation
implies that the second that you choose
into a perspective of selfhood,
"other" is born naturally as a consequence.
In the realm of self and other,
suddenly,
what happens is relationship.
There is no such thing as relationship in a unified field.
Relationship happens in the realm of separation.
Self and other.
This means,
life is relationships.
This means the quality of your experience of life
in the physical,
is all about the quality of relationships.
Therefore, the mastery of relationships
can no longer be separated from your path of spiritual progression.
Spirituality, self-help,
personal development,
health, wellness, relationships and psychology
are in fact all intertwined.
They are all parts of the reality of your existence as a human.
You could technically split hairs,
so as to define a person's expertise
at any level of this dynamic I have just described.
Any expert who specializes in any one aspect
of this layer cake of existence,
will have a slightly different perspective On the person standing in front of them.
And it is only possible
to focus ONLY on ONE layer of a person,
until it is not.
For example:
A person would not even have to believe in a non-physical dimension,
not even have to think about
things like what humans call God,
in order to unravel their personal childhood trauma
or to examine a limiting belief.
But if they encounter a limiting belief
that calls existential truth into question,
or would be unraveled only by seeing existential truths,
it is no longer possible.
Or a person could pray all day long
and find all of their answers in meditation
until the day that in that meditation,
they become aware of the fact that they've been using meditation
as an escape mechanism.
At that point,
their only way of progressing
is to go towards the psychological aspects of their being
that are caught in an avoidance pattern.
The basic thing to understand about life
is that because all these layers that make up a physical human
are so integral to one another
and it's impossible to have A full objective picture
of what is going on with any person
without the full picture
of all of these layers.
You have to take all of the elements of them into account.
Non-physical, mental, emotional and physical.
This is because an impediment to somebody's progression,
desire, health, sense of well-being
or anything else that they're trying or wanting to achieve,
could happen at any of these levels
or multiple layers at once.
Any expert in any of these fields
spirituality, self-help, personal development,
relationships, health, wellness and psychology
whether it's a guru, a doctor,
a psychologist, a self-help expert,
a relationship counselor, an energy healer,
a therapist or a yogi
etc...
is wanting the same thing:
For a person to find alignment,
which creates a state of well-being.
Very often this means
that a spiritual teacher
must not only talk to someone about theology,
meaning or existential truths...
But in fact about the traumas in their childhood.
What emotional wounds
may be in the way of manifesting the things they want,
their relationship patterns,
or what's going on with their body.
Etc...
This means a doctor may not actually be able to find a cure
for one of their patients
if all they're taking into account
is the physical.
They also have to become aware
of the fact that emotional elements
create the ways
that the tissues in the body respond,
and therefore the very key to the ailment in their patient
might just be the quality or lack thereof
of their marriage.
This means that a psychologist
might also need to approach a problem
on the level of hormonal imbalance
or meridian blockage,
or ancestral trauma.
What an expert in any of these fields or layers
offers to another expert,
is a deeper look into what may be happening
at that particular layer
of the layered cake of a human.
It is inevitable
that one's spiritual path
as long as they continue to progress on that path,
instead of stagnate,
will lead them directly to the conscious understanding
that they are here in this life to learn to become aware,
to love, to transform,
to progress, to manifest,
to heal, to create...
And ultimately to become self-actualized.
This naturally leads them to a curiosity
about what's in the way of doing that.
And this self-actualization can only be achieved
with a conscious commitment
to learning about all the elements of self-actualization,
including but not limited to,
physical health, wellness,
self-help, self-development,
manifestation, relationships,
shadow work, success,
psychology and emotions.
And consciously choosing to level up in life
by applying what they learn.
This is why
instead of separate,
to actually stand in a position of truth,
all of these things must go hand in hand.
And as humanity continues to develop,
what you will see
is that these elements that go into physical existence,
into well-being,
into progressing,
into self-actualizing,
instead of becoming more separate and defined...
They will become more and more Integrated.
Have a good week.

and having the bravery to step into the space of awareness
not only for yourself, but for the benefit of those around you.
