Spiritual Awakening

Bannister’s record only lasted 46 days. Once he did it, the four-minute mile barrier no longer existed. Runners’ eyes opened, leading to the current record, 3 minutes, 43.13 seconds, set in 1999.

Alberta’s Journey in Awakeningville

If you recall, during our Awakeningville journey, our friend Alberta was in their one little museum, looking at what’s possible and not possible for human beings and how we set our own limits.

As she read Roger Bannister’s story, Alberta wondered what limits she had that were not based on reality. Today, we see what Alberta learns because awareness is always the first step in breaking free from one’s past. Your past (personal and tribal truths) is the only thing that constrains you from creating a future filled with possibilities.

Understanding Personal Limits and Truths

Over the last several weeks, we’ve followed Alberta on her spiritual awakening journey. She had a blinding flash of the obvious, realizing there’s more to life than meets the eye. She knew somehow that life continues after death and the concept of mediumship is valid.

In her quest for answers, Alberta found her way to Spirit360 and an alternate explanation: spiritual awakening is like a physical awakening. You are spiritually awake or not. Of course, some are pretending to be awake spiritually.

Spiritual awakening gives you additional options for life’s choices. One of these choices is spiritual growth practices to expand your spiritual awareness rapidly.

At the Sacred Cows Museum in Awakeningville, Alberta discovered a way of seeing the limits she had created in her awareness that stopped her from being present and experiencing freedom. Like Roger Bannister broke the four-minute mile barrier, countless people before us have broken through the barriers to our awareness.

These barriers often show up as thoughts like:

• “I’m not good enough.”
• “I can’t do this.”
• “I’m not disciplined.”
• “I’m too shy or introverted.”
• “I’m not lucky.”

All of these are tribal truths and personal limits we adopted at an early age that create the parameters of our reality. The underlying principle is: so you think; so you are.

The problem is that we started thinking this way so young that it’s become part of who we are without us even realizing it. It’s like wearing sunglasses for so long that you forget you have them on until you remove them and see the world as it really is.

The Role of Awareness in Spiritual Growth

Your spiritual awakening opens the door for you to begin the journey and find the necessary answers. Awareness is about consciously making the next step.

In Awakeningville, Alberta looked in special mirrors and saw more than just her physical reflection. Her awareness allowed her to see the shimmer of her vibration, which resulted in her realizing there’s more to life than meets the eye.

I want you to focus on noticing what your physical eyes can not perceive as you travel your life’s path. When you meet someone, you get extra information. When you have trouble in your mind, there’s other information available if you are conscious enough to perceive it.

Journaling allows us to take a snapshot of our minds and see the information between the lines. It’s in the silence between the notes where spirit awakens. That spirit is you—your spirit’s intent, the part of you that lives on after you cross over.

As we expand our awareness to tap into our spiritual knowing and connection with everything, interesting things start to happen. Attraction starts to make you aware of different types of people in your vibration.

Manifesting Health and Opportunities

Awareness 101 is embracing “in time and on time.” It’s easy to make the mistake of only thinking about what you’re doing in visualization instead of really doing it. Our spiritual growth practices train you using verifiable, instantaneous feedback of your psychic gifts.

You can manifest the opportunity of good health, but it takes the next step of making those thoughts real, believing and trusting them to take shape in your physical experience. That materializes health, well-being, and healing.

This incarnation, this lifetime, is your science lab. You come here to directly experience what you could only perceive while in spirit. You reveal the blind spots and filters you can’t see beyond without a physical experience. You see what works for you and what doesn’t, what crutches and sacred cow beliefs you use.

You get to remove the filters from your awareness to find what makes you feel more present, harmonious, and aligned with your spirit’s intent – the reason you incarnated. You start exemplifying your values and beliefs through your being, emanating a vibration that attracts others.

Life becomes effortless, each step more directed and focused. You know what you want, need, and choose. The gap between wanting and having gets closer. That’s what Jesus did with the miracles—he created such a profound thought and added the proper energy to make it real almost instantaneously.

Embracing Imperfection and Progress

The biggest challenge is allowing myself to be provisionally perfect. While I’m not as perfect as the image in my head, I’m as perfect as I am. That is embracing in time and on time.

All Alberta could do was look in the mirror, see the interesting shimmering around her image, accept her sacred cows, and decide if she wanted to keep them. Allow yourself from today’s perfection to take the actions you need, want, and know to take. Get the consequences and master your ability to take an action that gives you the desired results.

Every time I get too cocky, I realize I’ve only begun to scratch the surface. It shows up in a physical illness, an email I forget to answer, an appointment I miss. I am the most human of humans, nowhere near the perfect expression of a spiritualist minister. But today marks my 10th anniversary of being ordained, so I’ve been learning this job for ten years, and I’m still only provisionally perfect with a long way to go.

Your Ongoing Spiritual Journey

As we wrap up Alberta’s quest, she, like many of us, is a little saddened to leave Awakeningville. She expected to find answers, which she did, but she realized that with every answer understood came more questions.

The difference now is Alberta is developing the skills and tools to disassemble any barriers that no longer serve her. She can quiet her mind to get present, examine the right choices for her, see reality, make an actionable decision, act on it, get the result, and free herself from the past.

She’s realizing she has the tools to live authentically in the present moment, enjoying this journey called life on her way to her spiritual perfection or nirvana. She may reach it this lifetime or take a couple more, but she knows she’s enjoying the journey of being herself and exemplifying that to the world.

That authentic exemplification attracts other gorgeous beings to join you along the way, and that’s why we created Spirit360 Fellowship. I’m glad you found your way here, and I hope you’ll continue exploring our teachings and services, join our community, attend future Sunday Services, and enroll in courses at Old Soul Academy.

My highest blessings,
