Athena on Phone: Welcome to the

Awakening to Abundance podcast.

2

I'm your host, Athena.

3

This podcast is more than a podcast,

it's a transformative journey, designed

4

to help you awaken to your abundance,

for you to discover what living

5

the fullness of life means to you.

6

As always, we're jumping

right in with today's episode!

7

Here's part two of the Mastermind

from the last podcast episode.

8

Enjoy.

9

Athena on Phone: And And a big part

of this that really messes up our ego

10

or triggers our ego is feeling good.

11

Because when you're in this state

of being, when you're in this

12

state of consciousness, when

you're in this level of trust,

13

it scares the sh*t out

of the ego, obviously.

14

Because like you're way outta your

comfort zone, you don't feel like

15

you're controlling anything, and

so what job does the ego have.

16

You're essentially rendering it

useless especially when you do the

17

work when you do get triggered.

18

Because this is a state of being

and a state of consciousness,

19

yet we are also human.

20

So we're going to have- this is

gonna be like a ping pong, just like

21

we've been talking about with the

different states of consciousness,

22

you're gonna be ping ponging through

this throughout your day, throughout

23

your week, your month, your year.

24

And it is possible to get to a place

where this state of consciousness is

25

more of your go-to and your norm than

the lower states of consciousness are.

26

But, you'll still get triggered and

you'll still have moments of that.

27

And that's of course what the ego wants.

28

And it's gonna be more talkative at

that point when you're in those moments.

29

And it's going to be like, yeah, see, you

know, that whole living blissfully in,

30

in the allness doesn't make any sense.

31

It's going to probably, right now, even

this whole conversation is probably

32

gonna trigger your ego a little bit.

33

And again, feeling good is

such an important part of this.

34

It's so interesting how it's such an

important part and yet is so simple, but

35

yet humans have made it so difficult.

36

That when we are just in a state of

love, and appreciation, and gratitude

37

how good that actually feels.

38

But we make it so hard as human

beings because we've got so much-

39

we've got so much conditioning,

we've got so much programming, we've

40

got so much shoulds and shouldn'ts,

and I need to and desperation.

41

And that is how we're raised:

lack, scarcity, and fear.

42

But as you're in this work, as you're

doing this work, as you're unpeeling

43

the layers of this onion of unlearning

everything that you've learned.

44

And because all of that was programmed in

your mind previously, and then your body

45

responds to your mind- clearing all that

out, feeling all the feelings, allowing

46

them to move through your body instead

of pushing them down or against them.

47

Clearing out your energetics,

clearing out your energy chakras,

48

allowing you to be more of a flow

through for your own desires and

49

for your own Infinite Intelligence.

50

These are all the things that we've

been learning here in the membership.

51

These are all the things that

prepare us for this fourth state of

52

consciousness, for this allness, for

this state of bliss and state of being.

53

And again, knowing that in the beginning,

just as we did with our conditioning, and

54

our programming, and our lack, scarcity,

and fear- it's a process and a journey.

55

And so incrementally we move from lack,

scarcity, and fear thoughts and we notice

56

ourselves and our ego being a little

bit quieter and becoming more neutral.

57

And then moving from neutrality

into positive things.

58

Like everything is actually

working out for me.

59

Ah, everything is actually

working out for me.

60

Like you have little glimpses of this new

state of consciousness, just like you've

61

had glimpses of new states of being and

new states of consciousness in the past.

62

So in this state where you are,

you are going to have glimpses of

63

where it just feels so beautifully

simple, and wonderful, and

64

easy, and joyful and abundant.

65

You're just gonna have moments of these.

66

But you can actually work to make

this your norm state of being.

67

And this is what we've been doing, this

is what we've been practicing, but this

68

is at a level of even more of that.

69

So, moving out of those other states

of being in consciousness and moving

70

more fully into this higher state

of consciousness and state of being.

71

And with that comes all of

this feeling f*cking lit up.

72

Feeling so good.

73

Feeling so connected.

74

And that, again, can be hard for

us to wrap our minds around because

75

we've been in other states of

consciousness and being for so long.

76

And because the world itself

definitely doesn't tell you to

77

live in bliss, or that you can feel

good often, and a lot of the time.

78

It's like, no, you have to struggle,

you have to work hard, you have

79

to do all these things that

are lower consciousness states.

80

if you wanna get anything

done, you have to sacrifice.

81

Everything has to be hard.

82

And the thing is, is that as you

continue to do this work you realize

83

you've changed a bunch of rules for

yourself, or beliefs about what you

84

actually believe is the truth and what

everybody else is saying their truth is.

85

And you can actually see it

evidentially in your existence.

86

Audio Only - All Participants: You have

evidence that, f*ck yes, I can manifest.

87

Yes, it can be easy.

88

And you can see where the times that your

ego is tripped up and triggered, and you

89

can say, oh, that's really interesting.

90

And you don't have to identify with it.

91

You don't have to identify with the story,

with the meaning that you're making it,

92

and you can just move on and let it go.

93

You can see yourself actually

progressing through the stages.

94

The other part of this is, oftentimes

when we're moving into new states

95

of consciousness and being, and

beliefs, words, actions- everything

96

that makes everything up right, that

it starts from a cognitive aspect.

97

And so when we hear it, ah, interesting.

98

Yes.

99

I would like to move into that state

of consciousness a little bit more.

100

We know that it then moves into

your body and it's like, oh,

101

you know what, actually, yeah,

I know what ease feels like.

102

I know what this next level of surrender

feels like in my, like my gut, viscerally.

103

And then you feel it in your

heart and then it becomes a

104

belief and it's a knowingness.

105

And then it, it is a certainty for you.

106

So it's just like everything that

we've been learning, the way that

107

we've been learning and doing it.

108

This is just the next level.

109

And the next level of feeling

good is the bliss of the allness.

110

And so it is the understanding, it is

the knowingness, it's the experience of.

111

It's not just the self-care, it's not

just the manifestations coming true,

112

it's not just the alignment practices.

113

It is literally a way of being.

114

A way of being.

115

But you've gotta give up anything

else that keeps telling you,

116

life can't be this great.

117

Or you can't feel this good.

118

Or guilt or shame around, I chose

myself, or I chose my alignment, or

119

I chose my manifestation, or I chose

my whatever, whatever it is, over

120

something else that didn't feel aligned.

121

And ooh, my body comes and says, we're

entering a new level of safety, of

122

communication, of release of any of

that struggle or a negative feeling.

123

And being with the body and being like,

yeah, this is a new level of that.

124

Let's grow our capacity to receive

that, to be in it, to embody it.

125

Again, all the things that

we've learned at other states

126

of consciousness and being, just

relating it even more to this as me.

127

We were not created to come

to the earth and and stay in

128

one state of consciousness.

129

Now with that being said, there's

absolutely room for a level of struggle

130

and awakening out of that struggle.

131

Because Echart Tolle often says,

it is so easy for us to live life

132

without deeper awakenings if life is

133

cruising along and nothing's really

bad, but nothing's really great either.

134

But that's not what I'm

talking about either.

135

What I'm talking about is moving into

a different state of consciousness

136

and being, where you are consistently

more in this place of peace.

137

And that the "struggles"

are not struggles.

138

And are not viewed as challenges anymore.
