The Cliff Ravenscraft Show

In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of one of the most personally meaningful creations in my Higher Self Project — my Soul Songs — and share the full story behind the track The Money Will Come When I’m Aligned.

The inspiration for this episode all started with an unexpected email from a listener, Nate Martin, who stumbled onto my YouTube channel at just the right moment. He had been about to unsubscribe… until he saw my channel trailer, This Is Not a Business. This Is Devotion. Something about that message pulled him into my Soul Songs playlist. He ended up listening to The Money Will Come When I’m Aligned ten times in a row, found my albums on Spotify, and sent me a note that reminded me exactly why I create.

From there, I open up about how my Soul Songs are born: the way ideas from books, conversations, and spiritual insights turn into lyrics, how I collaborate with ChatGPT to refine them, and how Suno’s AI music generation brings them to life in a way that still surprises me. I talk about the vulnerability of publishing them — from hand-syncing lyrics in Descript to posting on TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook — and what it felt like to release them into the world without any guarantee of how they’d be received.

Along the way, I share a powerful teaching from Abraham Hicks on alignment, vibration, and inspiration, along with the specific notes I took while listening. I also reflect on how this teaching ties directly into my own creative process, the deeper role of alignment in every area of life, and why I’ve let go of performing or creating for external validation.

Finally, you’ll hear the full lyrics of The Money Will Come When I’m Aligned and the heart behind each line — an anthem for creating from a place of joy, sufficiency, and trust that everything you need will arrive in perfect timing.

If you’ve ever wondered how to live and create from your deepest alignment… if you’ve questioned whether money can truly flow without grind or hustle… or if you simply want to hear the story behind one of my most personal pieces of art, this episode is for you.

The Path Forward: Your alignment is the creator. Your inspired action is the expression. Listen in and let this story invite you to create from the same place.

The Money Will Come When I’m Aligned

They say that wealth comes when you grind
But something whispers in my mind
That worth is not a race or task
It rises from the soul unmasked

The world rewards the ones who burn
But what if there’s another turn?
Where ease and clarity belong
And truth itself becomes the song

The money comes when I’m aligned
Not from the chase, but from the flow
When joy is real and peace is near
The stream of life makes all things clear

It’s not the grind that makes me rise
It’s focus felt behind closed eyes
The world may shout, but I find
The money comes when I’m aligned

Who priced the stars or charged the sky?
Who bought the sun when it rose high?
This earth was paid with none but grace
No hands, no trade, just sacred space

And yet we think we must exchange
Our worth for coins, our dreams for chains
But true value flows from inner fire
Not from the crowd, not from the buyer

The power’s not in what I do
But how I see the world as true
The work I love, the steps I take
Are just the ripples that I make

It’s thought that builds the inner flame
It’s focus first, then form and name
The mind aligned, reality complies
Creation dances where truth flies

I thought I wanted cash and fame
A bigger life, a louder name
But now I see what’s underneath
The joy to breathe, the love beneath

I live to feel the pulse of grace
To walk with light, to move with pace
To shine, to laugh, to lift, to see
Alignment is what’s wanting me

The money comes when I’m aligned.
Not from the chase, but from the flow.
When joy is real and peace is near,
The stream of life makes all things clear.

It’s not the grind that makes me rise,
It’s focus felt behind closed eyes.
The world may shout, but I find:
The money comes when I’m aligned.

They mock, “You can’t just sit and believe”
But stillness isn’t make-believe
For when I plug into life’s stream
I move like lightning through a dream

Inspired hands, aligned with fire
Each step is charged with soul’s desire
I’m not inactive. I’m alive
This sacred motion is why I thrive

You can find my Soul Songs Volumes 1 and 2 on Apple Music & Spotify.

In this episode, I continue what I began back in Episode 783 — taking a second look at recent conversations I’ve shared here on The Cliff Ravenscraft Show, but this time covering Episodes 777 through 782.

If you listened to Episode 783, you know my original point was that you don’t have to wait until you’re perfect to publish, speak, or serve. But there was another layer — the way I regularly pause to do Higher Self reflections, asking, “Is what I said here true? Is it aligned with my highest values? Does it reflect how I want to show up in the world?”

In this session, I share not only the original show notes for each episode but also the Higher Self feedback I received, plus my own real-time reactions. You’ll hear:

This is more than a review of past episodes. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at my own ongoing refinement as a coach, storyteller, and soul-based guide. You’ll hear me celebrate the moments of deep alignment and own the spots where I missed, all in real time.

If you’ve ever wanted to see exactly how I use reflection to grow — and how you can do the same in your own conversations — this episode is a masterclass in integration.

Join me live at the Free The Dream Workshop — a two-day experience to clear the noise, uncover what’s next, and remember the part of you that’s still waiting to be lived. Details at FreeTheDreamWorkshop.com.

In this episode, I take you deep inside my heart and practice. What began as a reflection on a potential client who seemed like a perfect fit—but then disappeared—became an entire transmission from my Higher Self, and eventually, a Soul Song titled “They Will Know.”

I share how I’ve completely shifted from the old ways of unconscious hustle, driven by fear and scarcity, into a new way of being in business: one rooted in trust, alignment, and presence.

You’ll hear raw reflections on what it’s like to follow inner guidance, even when outcomes don’t unfold as expected. I also read aloud a message I received through my Higher Self project, reminding me that I don’t need to chase. The ones who are meant to work with me will know. They will come. And they won’t need to be followed up with twice.

This episode ends with the full performance of “They Will Know,” a Soul Song that poured through me after this experience. I believe it carries a frequency many of you will feel in your bones.

If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to let go of the traditional sales game and move into full energetic alignment, this one is for you.

The next Free The Dream Workshop is coming up Friday and Saturday, August 29–30. It’s a two-day experience to clear the noise, uncover what’s next, and remember the part of you that’s still waiting to be lived. Reserve your seat now at FreeTheDreamWorkshop.com.

I don’t have to follow up. I don’t have to plead.
I don’t have to water down the wild voice in me.
When I speak, they’ll feel it, like thunder in their chest.
They’ve been waiting for this moment. No second guess.

No more tugging at the silent.
No more knocking on closed doors.
The ones who are meant to walk with me
They don’t need convincing anymore.

They will know.
They will come.
They will feel it in their bones like the rising sun.
They’ll say “Yes,” with tears in their eyes,
“I’ve waited my whole life for this.”
They’ll offer to pay before I even ask.
They’ll show up early, steady, deep.
Not because I asked them to…
But because their soul already knew.
Yes
They will know.

I don’t sell answers. I don’t market truth.
I speak from the stillness that burns through the proof.
Some will pause, and some will pass.
But the ones who are called…
arrive at last.

No chasing ghosts through the inbox tide.
No reaching back for those who hide.
I’m here for those whose hearts arrive
already open. Already wide.

They will know.
They will come.
They’ll hear my voice and feel the drum.
They’ll whisper “Yes” before I do.
Because their soul already knew.
This is not persuasion’s art.
This is a Cart for those who are ready to start.
They’ll cry within the first ten lines,
“This is what I came to find.”
Yes
They will know.

In this deeply reflective episode, I do something I’ve never done before on The Cliff Ravenscraft Show.

After publishing a series of unedited, unscripted conversations (Episodes 772 through 782), I felt a nudge.

I asked a single question:

“From a Higher Self perspective, is there anything that I said in these conversations that might be out of alignment with either truth or how I desire to show up in the world today?”

Then I listened.

In this episode, I walk you through that process. You’ll hear me reflect on fears many of us carry:

– What if I say the wrong thing?

– What if old patterns slip through?

– What if my unrefined edges get exposed?

– What if I’m not as awakened or healed as I thought I was?

I answer these questions by showing you what it looks like to keep creating anyway.

You’ll hear Higher Self reflections on several episodes, real-time insights I received, and how I’m integrating those insights without shame or regret.

If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to lead without needing to be perfect…

If you’ve ever worried that your healing isn’t complete enough to serve…

If you’ve ever created something and then second-guessed your own voice…

…this episode is for you.

May it remind you:

You don’t have to be finished to be faithful.

You don’t have to be flawless to be aligned.

And even your unrefined edges can become the doorway to someone else’s liberation.

Welcome to the other side of the microphone.

In this deeply personal episode of The Cliff Ravenscraft Show, I reconnect with longtime listener and creative soul Boone Langston, whose journey from uncertainty to alignment took him all the way to Denmark—where he now designs official LEGO sets.

What begins as a moment of appreciation quickly unfolds into a rich, multi-layered conversation about purpose, provision, creative calling, and the nonlinear path that leads us home.

Boone vulnerably shares the ups and downs of his journey: the years of not knowing, the pressure of finding “the thing,” the courage to pivot, and even a moment when he and his wife nearly lost their home. You’ll hear how saying yes to resonance—whether through LEGO, video, or teaching—eventually led to a wild ride of opportunities, including a spot on LEGO Masters and a full-circle moment working with the LEGO Group itself.

We explore:

This is more than a conversation about career. It’s a conversation about remembering who you are and choosing to take that next step, even when you can’t see the whole map.

In this episode of The Cliff Ravenscraft Show, I sit down with my dear friend James Foster for a deeply moving, unscripted conversation that begins with the joy of new grandfatherhood—and unfolds into an exploration of soul, spirit, time, and legacy.

James shares how becoming a grandfather to Jackson has awakened something in him that defies logic. We talk about the difference between soul and spirit, how DNA might store more than just biology, and how the love of our ancestors may be living and active in our cells.

I open up about a personal experience from my childhood—an encounter across time with my future self—and how moments like that have led me to believe that we can send love backward and forward in time through intention and presence.

This conversation goes beyond theology and theory. It’s an invitation to remember who we are, to trust the divine orchestration unfolding within and around us, and to honor the sacred threads that connect generations in ways we’re only beginning to understand.

If you’ve ever felt the presence of someone long gone, or had a “knowing” you couldn’t explain… this episode is for you.

In this unscripted, heartfelt conversation, I reconnect with Gwen Schiada—a dear friend whose journey has included building and selling a business, navigating the loss of her brother and father, and now, reawakening to the quiet voice of creativity stirring within her again.

What began as a spontaneous drop-in turned into one of the most soul-nourishing dialogues I’ve had in a long time.

Together, we explore:

If you've ever found yourself questioning your purpose, wondering whether your desire to create is ego or essence, or feeling like you're starting over after a season of loss… this episode is for you.

In this episode, I reconnect with my longtime friend Colin Yearwood for a deep, soul-level conversation about identity, control, and redefining success.

Colin vulnerably shares the tension he’s been holding around the question, “Am I a business owner or just self-employed?” After nearly a decade of serving powerfully inside other people’s coaching programs, he finds himself wrestling with whether he’s built what he once dreamed of—or something even better.

Together, we unpack the illusion of control, the inherited beliefs we carry from entrepreneurial culture, and the freedom that comes from choosing fulfillment over formulas. I share some of my own journey of walking away from scalable income streams, and we explore the truth that alignment, not outside approval, is the highest form of success.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your business “counts” because it doesn’t match someone else’s blueprint, this conversation is for you. There is deep peace waiting on the other side of self-acceptance.

In this deeply reflective conversation, Michael Jones joins me for a powerful exploration of risk, money, drive, and perception. It began as a question about entrepreneurial risk tolerance, but quickly evolved into something much more profound.

We explored the illusion of certainty, the myth of control, and how even the belief “I should have more money” can quietly sabotage focus, creativity, and peace. I guided Michael through Byron Katie’s framework called The Work, using his relationship with money as a powerful real-time example. What emerged was a radical reframing: the realization that we always have exactly the amount we should have, because it is what is.

We unpacked how clinging to expectations about income, progress, or the “right” business strategy can trap us in stress loops, leading to action that’s busy but unfocused. And we talked about how true sustainability and impact come not from reacting to fear or lack, but from moving with clarity and internal alignment.

This episode is for anyone who has ever second-guessed themselves, clung to a thought that brought suffering, or wondered whether they were “falling behind.” If you've wrestled with the illusion that there’s only one “right” path, or that your current state isn’t good enough, this is your reminder to love what is… and create from there.

In this episode, I reconnect with Jeff Glauser for a profound and deeply human conversation about the inner conflict so many of us face: the desire to follow our heart while also meeting the expectations of the world around us.

Jeff shares where he is in his journey, caught between multiple paths, each with its own promise and its own uncertainty. He speaks candidly about the pressure to provide for his family, the pull toward his passions, and the internal voices that ask, “What if this doesn’t work?”

We dive into what it means to live in a world where nothing is guaranteed, and yet everything is possible. Together, we explore the illusion of certainty, the stories we inherit from society, and the subconscious programming that runs the show until we stop and question it. I share metaphors, personal stories, and reflections on texts like The Untethered Soul, The Four Agreements, Outwitting the Devil, and Man’s Search for Meaning. All of these works point to a deeper truth: that the freedom we seek doesn’t come from guarantees. It comes from the courage to decide and to dream our own dream.

This conversation is an invitation to tune into a different frequency. To choose one narrative over another. To remember that you don’t need permission to follow what makes your soul come alive, and that even in the unknown, you are far more powerful than you’ve been led to believe.

If you’re standing at a threshold, wondering whether to take the leap or keep waiting for “the right time,” this episode is for you.
