AHA Moments with Coach KA

Could spending times in complete silence, i.e. not speaking to anyone for 30 minutes or an hour or so, help us to learn how to speak better? Meaning to have greater understanding on when to speak out and when to be silent when amongst others. Silence & Solitude are often listed together probably because it's difficult to do one without doing the other. Merriam Webster Dictionary defines the two as follows. 

Silence = the forbearance of speech or noise; synonym = muteness. Solitude = the quality or state of being alone or remote from society; synonym = seclusion. 

With that definition in mind in the book of Ecclesiastes 3:7b – it said that there is “a time to be silent and a time to speak”. Have you ever found yourself speaking out about things that you wish you could take back? There is a law or principle of Silence that allows individuals or creatures the space, peace, and time to rest and recuperate from the noises and chattering outside. The silence is found within the SOUL. Come join me and listen in on this week’s episode as I share with you what the law or principle of Silence is and how you can apply the law to your life to change your life from the inside out.

Have you ever tried to achieve a goal only to sabotage yourself at every turn? Have you ever been there before? If you’re not where you want to be in life, no matter how much willpower you’ve applied, chances are you have subconscious programs keeping you firmly in place. The subconscious, in a fearless effort try to keep you safe and in alignment with its holdings, is resistant to change. Even when the possibility of change feels consciously good, the subconscious is probably devising crazy ways to keep you firmly rooted in the known. Our subconscious mind is a powerful force to be reckoned with. It makes up around 95% of your brain power and handles everything your body needs to function properly, from eating and breathing to digesting and making memories. Today let’s explore and discuss a little bit about “The Law of The Sub-Conscious Mind”.  Let’s discover what it is and how the world we live in is using the law to program us every day to do what it wants us to do and lets find out how to take our power back as well. Never assume you are only what you think you are. You are more than that.

Why are some people more religious than others? For some it could be their upbringing and culture and for others it can be forced upon them.  While the influences are many, new research suggests that whether we believe may also have to do with how much we rely on our own intuitions versus analytical thinking. Although some people hold religion in a positive light and have faith just to believe, I’ve learned that religion could also be a double-edged sword. People who violate religious norms may experience feelings of guilt or shame, or they may fear punishment from God. Is it possible that religion is not telling us the full truth about the Bible? Is it possible that religion was never meant to free us mentally, emotionally, or spiritually? Is religion trying to control the narrative of how we see life and the world we are living in? I see a lot of the younger generation questioning things more than the former generations and for me that’s a good sign that they want answers. Come explore with me the question “Can Religion Control Your Thinking” and come to your own conclusion of the matter.  

The word religion comes from Latin and while there are a few different translations, the most prevalent roots take you back to the Latin word “Re-Ligare”. “Ligare” means “to bind” or to “connect”. Adding the “re” before “Ligare” causes the word to mean “Re-Bind” or “Re-Connect”. Should we Re-Bind or Re-connect ourselves back to other being’s perspective on life and on who God is? The Iron Age was a time of rampant superstition, ignorance, inequality, racism, misogyny, and violence. Also, in the bible slavery had God’s sanction. Women and children were literally possessions of men. Should we not question those old beliefs? Should we not question the bible God and ask those tough questions? I’ve learned that religion divides insiders from outsiders. Rather than assuming good intentions, adherents often are taught to treat outsiders that don’t believe what they believe with suspicion and not through the eyes of love. Come explore with me the question “Can Religion Cause More Harm Than Good in The Name of God” and come to your own conclusion if it’s something we should just believe or should we examine, investigate, research, reconsider and discover the truth of who we are and the planet we are living in. 

Dates: Thursday November 10th – Tuesday November 15th 2022

I’m a very fortunate person to have lived long enough and well enough to see a great desire of mine fulfilled. I’m an avid researcher, seeker of truth, thirsty for spiritual knowledge and knowledge of self. My background came from being raise in Christianity, however I always felt since I was a little child that there was more to spirituality than what Christianity was telling me. Understanding the science of numbers and astrology I’m considered a number 7 based on the timing of my birth. Those of us who are born with the vibration of number 7 are both deep and wise. We are not satisfied with simple explanations and surface level information. We know that the real gold is buried deeper and won't stop until we find what we are looking for and then we’ll keep digging for more if necessary. Asking questions, researching, listening, and sensing are all special skills the 7 uses in our search for awareness. With that said I wanted a new experience, and I found an Africa tradition that I wanted to explore their perspective on spirituality and how to understand myself on a deeper level. Come listen in on this episode as I share some insight on my experience from going to Port Antonio, Jamaica for my birthday to becoming initiated as an Inyanga (level one – Inyanga is a traditional healer, especially one who uses herbal medicines) in pursuit of becoming a Sangoma Healer in the Zulu tradition. 

Greetings podcast listeners. I will be taking a break this week due to spending some time in Port Antonio, Jamaica for my birthday on November 14th and handling other important matters. We will reconvene next week on Friday November 25th 2022. I look forward to the next episode talking about my experience in Jamaica. Until then continue to be great and here is an audio file you can listen to start your week off with prayer & meditation.

~Coach KA

There are so many ways to explain or look at what enlightenment is. Gautama Buddha once said that it’s the end of suffering. Enlightenment can also be defined as the experience that you’re not separate from God, you’re one with God.

Merriam-Webster - Definition of enlightened

1: freed from ignorance and misinformation

Nobody can know what spiritual enlightenment is until they attain enlightenment, however one of the most popular benefits of meditation is that it helps the person to reach a stage called enlightenment, described as a clarity of thinking allowing deeper levels of knowledge, perception, and purpose. When it comes to every day thinking if your stressed out not only will stress affect your health it also negatively impacts your ability to think clearly. Have you ever tried to read a book, make music, create something, or study while under stress? Stress, anxiety, and fear cause us to continually focus on ourselves and our own issues making focusing on positive change nearly impossible. So, can anyone become enlightened? When you uncover this True mind within, pain, worry and stress disappear, you can know the ways of the world, and live well with a balance mind. Listen in while Coach KA shares on his experience towards spiritual enlightenment from religion to self-discovery of the Kingdom of God within. The age of enlightenment is upon us and it’s here to show us who we really are. 

Nikola Tesla once said that, “If you want to understand the universe think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.”

The third of the 7 universal laws tell us that “Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates”. Science has confirmed that everything in the universe, including you, is pure energy/spirit vibrating at different frequencies. Every vibration equals a feeling and in the vibrational world, there are only two kinds of vibrations, positive and negative. For example, it is known that emotions and thoughts carry with them a distinct vibration. Depending on what you are thinking will determine the level of positive and negative feelings you may have. Emotions and thoughts of unconditional love are subtle and vibrate the highest. Thoughts and emotions of hate are denser and vibrate at the lowest frequencies. This universal law provides a window into the millions of degrees of vibration that separate matter, energy, and spirit. It is said that once a student fully understands the principle of vibration, they have grasped the scepter of power. Come explorer with Coach KA seven things that can affect your vibration and what can help raise your vibration to the next level. 

Maya Angelou once said that "You can only become great at that thing you’re willing to sacrifice for."

Are we actually afraid of our own potential for greatness? What if you could become the greatest version of yourself? What if we all personally dared to follow our own spiritual paths without fearing the judgment of others urging us to return to the masses?

Today’s topic is urging us not to be afraid to be different. Many are afraid of losing the comfort of the crowd, where we can feel safe and “secure” of our decisions. Many are afraid of the ridicule that comes with daring to stand out, and of the potential fear of failure and on the contrary, some are afraid to succeed because of the responsibility that comes with success.  

If we want to achieve GREATNESS in life and reach our full God potential, one thing is for certain: We have to move past any fear, worry or doubt that may arise and take action anyways!! Fear doesn’t want you to do anything. It wants you to appear to be busy, but busy going nowhere. Fear and mediocrity go hand in hand. Don't let them defeat you. 

We all have the chance to become something great. Do not allow the crab in the bucket mentality to pull you down to a low frequency but tune into the episode and hear coach KA as he shares with you 7 Habits, he uses to help unlock your own GREATNESS inside of you.

The truth be told, the inner self is a truth seeker. The inner journey is a path that is a long and challenging path of entering into the eternal paradox that exists between your ego and your soul. The outer you is driven by the personal illusions we all create for ourselves, illusions we will do anything to maintain, especially if you have religious beliefs. The outer you fear looking at the truth whereas the inner you cannot rest until it sees the truth. When you enter into the inner journey and you return to your ordinary five sensory world, you will see it for what it is: illusions built upon temporary illusions. Then how will you now exist in a world that you so clearly understand to be driven by fear? No guru is going to save you. Reading about Jesus, Krishna or Lao Tzu is one thing, but following their examples and living your own life is another. Come join Coach KA as he shares in his personal experience in how he had to learn how to overcome his dark night of the soul along with understanding that a spiritual awakening comes with friction and separation from close friends and family alike, but the journey is a journey that is liberating to the soul.
