Ep. 49 – Why a Life Strategy Is a Bad Idea

Ep. 51 – Living in a Difficult Environment

This episode of the Inner Awareness Podcast discusses the difficulty of living in an environment filled with distorted fields, dark energy, and projections from both humans and non-physical beings. Even enlightened beings and masters are still affected by the field of Maya and by the pressure of the collective field of humanity. As long as people remain centered in the I and ego, they continue to judge other people and what they do, they make demands, give themselves permission to hate people and project, distorted consciousness and energy into the subtle environment, limiting the ability of other people to remain centered and radiate life – affirming consciousness and energy freely through their subtle field. Maintaining a state of radiance therefore requires continuous effort, the integration of spiritual principles into your life and core values. An aspirant must learn to remain centered in their authentic mind without becoming reactive to projections from the field of maya; that will allow the chakras and energy gates to function properly and for energy to radiate through them freely. The episodes of the Inner Awareness Podcast were recorded during seminars, which take place on a regular basis.

Ep. 50 – How to Deal with the Internal Dialog

This episode of the Inner Awareness Podcast explores how the internal dialog is influenced by projections and waves of consciousness entering the subtle field. Without mental discipline and detachment, these thoughts, feelings, and mental patterns are easily mistaken for one’s own and can create a continuous cascade of internal dialog. The key is not to become the thinker of the thoughts or the feeler of the feelings, but to remain centered in the authentic mind and allow these waves to pass through without attachment. Through practices such as “Neti Neti”, perseverance, and effortless effort, it becomes possible to develop detachment and gain greater control over the mind. Liberation requires active participation. Without mental discipline and the willingness to resist what is self-limiting, progress remains slow and a person remains vulnerable to projections, distorted fields, and negative influences. The authentic mind is described as the true foundation. By strengthening it and creating more space for authentic consciousness and universal feminine energy to radiate freely, a person gradually develops the stability, clarity, and resilience needed to continue the work of enlightenment.

Ep. 49 – Why a Life Strategy Is a Bad Idea

This episode of the Inner Awareness Podcast explains why a life strategy is considered a problem in the work of enlightenment. A life strategy is based on assumptions, desires, expectations, and patterns formed through karmic attachments, childhood influences, and the field of Maya. Because it requires identification with the I, a life strategy keeps a person reacting to the past instead of remaining centered in, the ever-Present Now and their authentic mind. It may also be in opposition to their Dharma, since it’s based on what a person thinks they want rather than on what Shakti wants for them. A life strategy reinforces attachments and belief systems that distort perception and limit spontaneity, flexibility, and insight. A master does not push or pull, force an outcome, or proceed according to a fixed direction. They observe until they know, then they adapt by acting appropriately. By releasing the beliefs, attachments, and karmic baggage that support a life strategy, it becomes possible to remain centered in the ever present now, develop good character, and enhance the functions of the subtle so that more life-affirming energy can radiate freely.

Ep. 48 – Learn the Basics, Liberate Yourself

This episode of the Inner Awareness Podcast emphasizes the importance of learning the basics before engaging more deeply in energy work or the work of enlightenment. Without experience and knowledge, there is a risk of using the wrong kind of power, especially when it comes from past-life patterns that are self-limiting. The key is not what you can do with power, but the motivation behind it. If the motivation is self-serving, it must be recognized and released, otherwise action remains tainted. The foundation is detachment, mental discipline, strong boundaries, and the ability to center yourself in your authentic mind. You must also know the difference between authentic and inauthentic thoughts and feelings, and understand that bliss and universal feminine energy are more powerful than any field with individual qualities. When you are overwhelmed, it’s essential to remain centered, resist, and wait with patience and perseverance until Shakti supports you with insight and clarity. The episode also makes clear that the dark side is persistent and adapts, which is why you must be prepared. Trying to do too much at once or seeking to progress to quickly without a foundation creates risk. Instead, you should work step by step, dealing with one thing at a time, and staying steady under pressure. By learning the basics, developing character, and remaining centered, you can achieve the stability you need to face challenges and continue to progress.

Ep. 47 – More Insights Into Karma

This episode of the Inner Awareness Podcast looks at how karma from past lives influences someone’s present life and explains that it can be confused with influences from early childhood. From the time in the womb, a child is affected by projections from their mother, family members, and traumatic experiences. In addition, the “poisons of the ancestors” and the collective karma of the family, tribe, or nation can influence the child. Karma is both a principle that declares that you will reap what you sow and it’s a substance known as karmic baggage stored in the subtle field. It does not fully emerge in early childhood, because the I has not yet developed. As the I forms, karmic patterns begin to express themselves through an individual’s personality and relationships. The people in the birth family and the relationships a person forms are predetermined by karma, they’re not accidental, but connected to past life attachments. It some cases an individual will be compelled to interact with people in order to learn lessons or how to follow their Dharma. The episode emphasizes that nobody alive has been incarnated with a blank slate. To liberate yourself from Self – limiting attachments you need to look inward, develop discernment, and learn to recognize and release karmic baggage within your subtle field.
