Hello beloved.
Getting straight to it.
Your truth - is your truth - based on your experience.
Same is true for EVERYONE else.
Some soul’s actively choose to become the “highest potential” by learning from trauma, lessons and judgement of self and others.
Returning to the heart, and releasing teh darker shadow and ego.
Some…..
Just drift along.
Both are ok, it’s all a matter of choice.
Let’s dive in. 👇🏼
POWER VERSUS FORCE | THE DIVINE CHANNEL
Transformation vs. stagnation is about choice, not just knowledge.
Many seek healing but sabotage their growth by clinging to their wounds.
This episode explores a multi-story consciousness metaphor where many remain on the 'ground floor,' using pain as manipulation.
Introducing the 'Power Framework for Conscious Ascension,' featuring key principles such as the power of conscious choice, overcoming the wound identity, witnessing your internal saboteur, establishing self-faith, and receiving inner guidance.
Each principle offers a practical roadmap for greater self-awareness and growth at higher consciousness levels.
The process is the transformational power of self-honesty, conscious decision-making, and internal faith, with practical steps to begin the journey towards authentic empowerment.
Enjoy, and step into your power.
It’s more important now than ever.
There's a hidden power in our wounds that we're reluctant to surrender.
Imagine standing in a multi-story building where each floor represents a level of consciousness.
Most of us remain stuck on the ground floor, using our pain as currency to manipulate others and avoid the intimidating journey upward.
I discovered this pattern not just in my clients but in myself, during my years of studying why people don't heal despite their claimed desires to do so.
Let me share something that shocked me deeply when I first began sharing and serving about” healing:”
I naively assumed everyone wanted to heal, that everyone would do anything to become whole.
The same can apply to me, all of us are in this conversation of “self” and imagination.
The reality I discovered is quite the opposite.
It wasn't until I realized that I wasn't dealing with health—I was dealing with power—that everything began to make sense.
STEP INTO POWER
Today, I'm introducing the POWER framework for conscious ascension—a pathway that will transform how you understand your resistance to growth and provide practical steps to break through to higher levels of consciousness:
P - Power of Conscious Choice
O - Overcoming the Wound Identity
W - Witnessing Your Saboteur
E - Establishing Self-Faith
R - Receiving Inner Guidance
This framework isn't just theoretical—it's a practical roadmap for moving through the levels of consciousness that many spiritually-inclined people talk about but few actually navigate successfully.
Detailed Breakdown:
1) Power of Conscious Choice
FROM Unconscious Reaction TO Conscious Creation:
The most fundamental shift in your spiritual journey begins with recognizing that you are choosing every behavior, every reaction, every emotion you express.
This is both empowering and terrifying.
When you come home after a difficult day and snap at your partner or children, there's a part of you that believes you're entitled to that behavior because of what you've endured.
"I've had a bad day," becomes the justification for treating others poorly.
But the truth?
This is a choice—a conscious manipulation using your wounds as the weapon.
The awakening begins when you realize how powerful your choice really is.
You're choosing to do what you're doing in that moment, and you can choose something else.
You can choose a different level of power.
This realization can be uncomfortable because it removes all excuses and places responsibility squarely in your hands.
This can hit hard. We’ve been conditioned by our own shame and societal pressure to blame ourselves and blaming others of our circumstances which essentially is a illusion and it ends with creating elaborate stories about why we can’t move forward.
The moment I admitted I was choosing my reactions—that I could choose differently—was both gratifying and liberating.
YOU have had this control all along, which was both empowering and embarrassing to realize.
This conscious choice is the foundation of all spiritual growth.
Without it, you remain trapped in the victim narrative, never ascending to higher levels of awareness.
2) Overcoming the Wound Identity
FROM Wound-Based Manipulation TO Authentic Empowerment:
Here's a challenging truth: there's a lot of power in being wounded.
Being able to use your wounds to control other people is remarkably effective.
When someone questions your behavior and you respond with your pain story, they often back down and may even apologize to you despite being on the receiving end of your behavior.
The decision to recognize "I use my wounds all the time, and I'm not really wounded, but I'm wearing my wounds" is monumental.
You've become what I call a "woundologist"—someone who has built an identity around their injuries.
You could heal, you could let go, but you're choosing not to.
Here's the cost: to maintain a wounded psyche, you will lose respect for yourself because deep down, you know what you're doing.
To avoid this self-loathing, you target someone as the reason for your wounds.
You say, "I just can't get over what they did to me," and then add, "But I'm working on forgiveness"—the oldest story in the book.
Instead of admitting "I'm vengeful and don't want to mature," you create an external focus for your pain.
This keeps you locked in the narcissistic phase of development where everything revolves around your wounds.
The truth about healing is that it requires radical honesty.
You cannot heal if you're not honest with yourself about what you're healing and why you might be resisting that healing.
Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, or past trauma, this level of honesty is non-negotiable.
I've seen countless individuals transformed when they finally admitted they weren't interested in healing yet—they were still using their wounds as tools.
This admission, paradoxically, was their first step toward genuine healing.
3) Witnessing Your Saboteur
FROM Unconscious Sabotage TO Conscious Awareness:
As you begin ascending from the concrete level of consciousness to your inner self, you'll encounter what I call the saboteur.
This inner force will create obstacles to your growth because the prospect of empowerment is, counterintuitively, terrifying.
Getting from the lower level of consciousness to the higher can take years, precisely because the saboteur is so effective.
You'll have experiences of getting an appetite for higher consciousness, feeling drawn to your higher self, and then suddenly acting out in ways that bring you back down to the concrete level.
Why?
Because you're terrified that if you start to see your life more symbolically, more impersonally, more archetypally, your wounds won't matter anymore.
You fear that you won't matter.
The "you" from the lower level feels threatened by the expanded perspective of the higher level.
This is why people think forgiveness means telling someone "my hurt doesn't matter."
But the real question is: how do you want your hurt to matter?
In the book of long stories?
In the book of wounds?
Where exactly do you want it to go?
These experiences feel like what makes you unique or special, and so you cling to them rather than ascending to your deeper power.
I remember deciding to meditate daily as part of my own journey.
My saboteur would show up like clockwork with "reasonable" excuses: too tired, too busy, I'll do double tomorrow.
Recognizing this pattern as sabotage rather than legitimate reasoning was a breakthrough.
I began saying aloud, "I see you, saboteur," whenever these thoughts arose.
Your inner self becomes a battleground because you've activated a higher part of your consciousness that craves growth, while simultaneously sabotaging that growth.
Recognizing and naming this pattern is crucial to moving beyond it.
4) Establishing Self-Faith
FROM External Validation TO Internal Trust:
It has been my experience that most people can tell me with absolute clarity what they do NOT have faith in, but they cannot tell me what they DO have faith in.
This is a profound spiritual crisis of our time—perhaps the first time in human history when so many collectively doubt the existence of something greater than themselves.
But faith doesn't begin with the cosmos—it begins with you having faith in yourself.
You need to know that if you say something to yourself, you'll keep your word.
This is where the journey to higher consciousness becomes practical.
Start small: If your intuition tells you to walk more for your health, make an agreement with yourself: "I will walk 15 minutes a day."
I can guarantee that your saboteur will appear, telling you to skip today and do it tomorrow.
This is your opportunity to recognize the saboteur and push through.
When you keep these small promises to yourself day after day, something remarkable happens: you develop genuine self-respect and self-esteem.
For many, it's the first time they've experienced what it feels like to give their word and keep it.
This is the foundation of authentic faith.
Narcissism, interestingly, stems from lack of self-respect.
When you don't respect yourself, you demand respect through extreme behaviors from others.
But once you develop true self-respect, you care less about external validation because you're beginning to have internal power you've never experienced before.
I worked with a client who began this practice by promising herself to write for just five minutes each morning.
After years of creative blockage, this tiny commitment—which she kept religiously—rebuilt her faith in herself.
Within six months, she'd completed half her novel and, more importantly, developed a relationship with herself based on trust rather than criticism.
5) Receiving Inner Guidance
FROM External Direction TO Internal Navigation:
The final component of the POWER framework is learning to receive and trust your inner guidance.
We are designed with an intuitive system that operates 24/7, but most of us have been taught to ignore it in favor of external authorities.
The way our inner system works is that the more you retreat to your interior—the less you depend on the outside and the more you depend on your inside—the clearer the guidance becomes.
The external world is full of distractions.
When you ask people on the outside for counsel, you do it because you're frightened or confused—it's always when you don't have faith in yourself or in what's happening.
As you build faith in yourself through keeping small promises, you'll begin to notice intuitive hits in various situations.
These moments become your first "test flights" in trusting your inner guidance.
Because you've developed self-trust in smaller matters, you'll have the confidence to follow your intuition in larger ones.
This inner guidance doesn't operate like a cosmic vending machine, delivering whatever you request.
The humility of true spiritual power is recognizing that you don't get to tell the universe what to do.
You're a grain of sand on the ocean shore—you don't instruct the ocean.
The proper stance is: "I'm here.
You must have a job for me.
Keep me from being fussy."
Heaven doesn't answer "stupid" and doesn't compensate for carelessness.
We're designed with a brain, hands, reason, and choice specifically so we can utilize our own powers.
But we're also templated with vision, ambition, and talent—urges to create and improve that are uniquely human.
I've learned to pray differently as my relationship with guidance has evolved.
From the moment I say a prayer, I believe that everything that happens is participating in the answer.
This mindset completely transforms how I experience life's events, removing nothing from the realm of spiritual significance.
PS: If you need extra support to come back to your natural intuition and sense of balance, I got ya.
Id love to support the unconscious contracts that you may be holding and arent aware of that makes up what we just discussed, your power and the feeling of lack thereof.
I've created a on-demand reading called the Intuitive One of a Kind Blueprint.
Intuitive One-of-a-Kind Blueprint
It helps Unlock your purpose, strengths, and challenges with a personalized audio journey, 6-page report, and companion guide. I merge Astrology and Human Design to create a 12-month roadmap for strategic alignment and intuitive living.
One small step at a time, is all it takes. Thats, the power of love versus love of power.
Sending you love.
