Hey, we’re on. Sorry. I was just waiting for it to connect. Dude, tonight is real. You can barely see me. Hi, it’s Lizzie. I’m trying something new. It’s a dust storm right now, but I am desperate to get out here and get some air. It is Arizona. We are in the suburbs of Phoenix. And it has been,
you know, while typical four-season places are having a nice rotation right now of Oh gosh, I don’t even know if this is going to work. It’s telling me my internet connection’s unstable. Well, I’m already live. I will try. We’ll see how this goes. Okay, anyway,
it’s just been so hot and a lot of people are enjoying a nice, beautiful summer and this is sort of like our winter. Our winter is our nice time of year. There is a storm. I don’t know if you could see. Let’s see if it’ll show you. It’s been, oh, there you go. You see how it’s flashing?
There’s a lot, yeah, there’s a lot of electricity. So it’s still kind of off in the distance, but this is not a filter. It’s actually just a dust storm. So anyway, tonight, today was one of those days where It felt like the world was caving in. What I mean is,
I was watching a video about the future of AI and the economy, and then it’s just too hot to go outside until 8.30 at night. A lot of my friends have been traveling, and I’ve been traveling, so we’re all just a little bit more disconnected.
It was one of those nights that And I ended up watching—I was just sort of like truly genuinely in my heart praying for some guidance, and I felt guided to look at this video by Kaya Ra. I don’t know her like real name, but she just goes by Kaya Ra publicly, and she’s a spiritual teacher.
She channeled a huge thing of incredible text, but she grew up— Was born into essentially slavery, sex slavery and stuff like that. Anyway, she escaped, was able to work her way through college. She’s super psychic and gifted, and so she’s been able to make a living for herself. And then about 10 years ago, started, you know,
channeled this sacred text and has started a whole movement and a nonprofit and stuff. How we’re in matrix that is essentially like servitude or slave consciousness. And I don’t mean just the slavery that we think of when we hear that word. But it’s just a consciousness of like bondage, I guess.
And that doesn’t mean you can’t make money necessarily. But there are so many people— Oh my gosh, this storm is so cool to watch behind me. Anyway, there’s just so many of us who are barely getting by. And she just talked about how the way through this is not necessarily activism in the physical sense.
Although if that helps you live in the world and it brings hope to others and you see progress, then that’s important and that’s great and it’s worth worthy and valuable. But she just talked about how like We have to transform ourselves from the inside to birth a new world. And again,
you can focus on that and also focus on fixing and holding accountable the world around you, both. But how like the ultimate form of activism is within us calling upon the divinity that we have within us as cosmic beings and And birthing a different world. Because ultimately there isn’t a way to just fix the matrix.
We just have to like birth a world that is a higher frequency than it and that is outside of us. And so that is outside of it, sorry, being like the locked down servitude matrix. And then the rest of us can, enough of us doing that together really pops things open.
And it sounds so crazy, but it feels so right. And it doesn’t sound at all any crazier than like the echo chamber of the news. So whenever I feel like spiritual things sound crazy, I go back to the drawing board of like, well, what is it that people are calling normal? And I’m like, that’s actually crazy.
So we’re good. So anyway, I don’t know if this video recorded or not, but I just felt in it tonight. My husband is in between jobs right now. He has been since the end of May. And 98% of the time, I’m deeply trusting that there is something that’s being birthed new out
of this reality that he and I are in. And also, you know, AI is disrupting, has disrupted the industry that he’s been in. So, yeah. But I also wanted to share that there’s been so much manifestation of miracles and so many epiphanies and ideas and the flow in my writing, for example, has just been incredible.
And I feel like it’s just starting. So I guess what I want to say is, even though I’m still in the middle of it, I still do have a knowing and a belief that we are being guided and that there is an escape hatch. And I don’t mean a bypass hatch. I mean, when you work to raise,
when we work to raise our consciousness, that that is the way to build a new reality and that Even though there’s one earth, there are so many realities to live in and experience as a human on earth, and that comes from what your consciousness is doing. Your perception of reality is according to your consciousness.
And so just keep that in mind if you’re feeling low, if you’re feeling doomsday, if you’re feeling doomism, if you’re feeling trapped or discouraged or even depressive. You may not be able to control what’s happening around you, but I believe we chose this existence as divine beings.
We chose to come into this juxtaposed reality where it’s just so locked down in challenge and disempowerment, and we wanted the experience of evolving our consciousness and And making the world just as divine as we are. And it doesn’t always feel easy, but I really do feel like it’s the purpose of why we’re here.
And that maybe, like I was going to say, all is not lost. Maybe some stuff does get lost in this whole thing, right? Like maybe we’re going to grieve real challenges and it’s not going to be frictionless. The capacity of the heart in the humans and the horses. Oh my gosh.
And like the good beings of the world, not just humans. And I do believe that our pursuit of letting our ego die and feeling the upgrade of consciousness that comes through that process and that That cycle. This is what we study in my mystery school, Threshold.
Well, it’s called the Sacred Art of Coming Undone, but it’s with my business partner. And that whole body of work is called Threshold Keepers. But as we purposefully, just like they did in the ancient mystery schools, as we purposefully work with our consciousness to track the ego
and make sure it’s not running our lives and gripping onto a certain reality and not allowing us to evolve, as we Pay attention to what our ego is doing and become aware or conscious of the ego. That frees us from its grip and we can move beyond one state of consciousness and into the next.
And that is what ultimately in the ancient mystery schools, that is one thing that they were doing, right? You can call it alchemy. But it is being an active participant in the upgrading of our consciousness. And I really truly believe that that is the ultimate form.
That is the only form of activism that is going to be strong enough to change our world in such a broken, corrupt matrix that we live in. So yeah, I needed to say that tonight. I needed to hear myself say it because it was scaring me The sort of like doom
that I could feel and typically when I’m in a spell like that where it’s just like just thick just like challenge that I’m going through and the feelings are low and stuff it’s because I’m about to receive an upgrade and I just thought if I could just speak this out I can feel that come through.
So thanks for being here thanks for witnessing hopefully this thing recorded decently. I have no idea. Okay.
Tell me in the comments what you’re feeling about this. I want to know your two cents on it.
