Ep. 53 – Be Careful What You Care For

This episode of the Inner Awareness Podcast examines the role of caring in spiritual life and argues that caring by itself is not necessarily a virtue. Caring must be conditioned by appropriateness, because insinuating yourself in situations that are not appropriate can weaken your boundaries, create attachments, and interfere with both your well-being and the well-being of others. Helping someone is beneficial only when it is appropriate; otherwise it can become a form of self-involvement rather than compassion. Authentic and inauthentic feelings are not the same, many emotional states are actually supported by distorted fields of energy with individual qualities rather than genuine expressions of energy fields with universal qualities. Authentic emotions resolve themselves naturally, while distorted emotions cannot be resolved by a human being’s subtle energy field. They remain active and continue to influence behavior, core values and a human’s sense of personal identity. By developing discernment, avoiding attachment, and acting when it’s appropriate, it’s possible to care for others while you maintain your well–being and personal integrity.

Ep. 52 – Surface Boundaries are your Best Defense

This episode of the Inner Awareness Podcast discusses the nature and importance of boundaries within the subtle field of consciousness and energy. Human beings are interdimensional beings and function simultaneously on physical and non-physical dimensions through their subtle field of consciousness and energy. The subtle field contains complex systems, including the system of chakras, auric fields, energy gates, meridians, dantians, and vortexes. Surrounding all of these systems are thin surface boundaries that protect the integrity of the subtle field while allowing universal feminine energy to radiate through it into the external environment. Strong boundaries are essential because they support the free flow of energy, the experience of bliss, they protect the subtle field from projections of distorted fields, and non-physical beings that are parasitic or hostile to human beings. Weak boundaries allow other people and entities to interfere with the subtle field, creating attachments, and Self – limiting patterns, that diminish your life vibration. People with weak boundaries often fill the space around them with projections and impressions that interfere with the well-being of other people and undermine their authentic identity. Restoring boundaries requires mental discipline, detachment, discernment, and a lifestyle that supports the free movement of universal feminine energy. By remaining centered in your authentic mind and maintaining strong boundaries, you can remain stable, maintain personal integrity, and have your awareness and energy move freely within your subtle field.

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.

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.
