0:58

1:04

1:09
expectations environmental survival and inherited conditioning you'll be gently
1:15
guided to remember that your soul has never left it's just been waiting for you to return welcome everyone to the
1:23
journey of an awakening spirit this is Kathleen Flanagan your host and we are streaming on the Bold Brave TV network
1:38
we're going to talk we're going to start talking about how we were born fully connected now we don't remember that we
1:45
were born connected we don't remember a lot of that but you know we all had little invisible friends and I was
1:51
talking to a friend of mine the other day about um the invisible friends that we had and I I was telling her about my
1:58
grandmother had this house and she had this one bedroom that was this massive room full of light full of angels and I
2:04
was always in there playing with somebody and I love that because at the same time when I was in there doing that
2:11
I also noticed that I just felt like at peace like the world
2:17
was okay and all was well with the world and I didn't always feel that way but I also had an uncle who years ago reminded
2:24
me who I was that I didn't remember but I do remember now and it's all because
2:30
of this anthology book and remembering that traumatic experience in my life and
2:37
what he had told me was that I was just so full of love and joy and happiness
2:42
and every time I saw my relatives I was so happy and I would run up to them and wrap my arms around them and just love
2:49
on them like there was no tomorrow and I never and I was everyone's favorite and
2:55
I just remember when he was telling me this I thought he was nuts because I didn't believe that because I don't
3:00
remember that little girl i do now and I know that what happened with in my
3:08
family caused a lot of it i used to think that in school it was because my name was Flanagan that nobody liked us
3:15
and I had to go protect my siblings and that really wasn't necessarily the case
3:20
the case was I think had to do with just what happened in the household with my
3:26
family i also know that I was born Catholic and so I call myself a
3:31
recovering Catholic but there were things when I was 16 years old and I talked to my mom because they did things
3:38
that I didn't agree with and I stopped going to church at 16 because I just couldn't get behind the garbage that
3:45
they were doing to her and she asked me "Why did you do that?"
3:51
instead of yelling or forcing me and I told her why and she had no argument whatsoever none she's like "Okay I
3:59
understand where you're coming from." And it was my And it was an adult observation it was something that was
4:04
very real and very valid that doesn't mean I didn't believe in God it didn't mean I didn't believe in the Holy Family
4:11
or the saints or any of that it it's none of that because that is my strong foundational connection that I have with
4:17
spirit was through that because I had so many experiences as a child so the
4:23
conditioning is what got me to be where I am and start forgetting who I really was because of the survival mechanism
4:30
that I came into with not feeling safe because of the beating
4:37
that my father had done and that my mother did nothing to protect me so I
4:42
became feeling unsafe i was paranoid throughout my life i had I always was afraid that
4:50
rape was the biggest thing i thought that was the biggest thing and I knew and I remember in my 20s I
4:56
had to stop thinking like that and stop thinking those lines because
5:02
I knew if I focused on it it would happen and and I had a sister that ended
5:07
up getting raped years ago was a gang rape and you know and just even though I don't know the I know some of the story
5:13
but I don't know the details don't want to know the details I already know what it did and and it was just such a
5:21
horrible feeling for that to happen and and because of that what I ended up
5:28
doing is I put on a whole new mask of I'm fine I can handle myself I don't need anyone and leave me alone and
5:34
that's what I did everything I did was to keep people at arms length because I didn't trust people people scared me to
5:40
death i thought people all they did was hurt people so that's what was going on
5:47
and I and that's another reason why I felt suicidal too was because I felt
5:52
like if this is what life is I rather be dead now and I started proceeding into moving into
5:59
committing suicide and I came up with ideas of what I was going to do my mother watched me make those attempts
6:05
and she freaked out i remember I was into drugs and I remember the day that my father was going to find where I had
6:11
my stash and I knew where I could hide it and I chose not to i let him find it
6:16
because I was screaming out for help at the same time there was such a conflict in me during that period of time and I
6:23
had no feeling about anything i didn't want to live i that's the one thing I
6:29
did know and when I talk about when I had that vision when I went to
6:35
the meditation the Edgar Casey meditation and I had that vision of what
6:40
I thought was God handing me and I keep saying it was the rod and the staff no I am the rod and the staff i am the
6:46
shepherd hurting the flock home i get what I'm saying but I was handed the world and the scepter which is more of
6:53
that reality of no the royalty of this and the strong spiritual
6:59
connotation that's behind it what I discovered last week because I've had a
7:04
very transformational week was that I am moving in to that place and with
7:12
everything that's going on it makes sense i know that my father passing away
7:18
and me having the ident identity crisis of who am I in this world without this
7:24
nagging fearful place that I have lived my whole life i know that that's what
7:29
caused a lot of this transformation i also last week I chose to
7:37
um I knew it was time to start breaking barriers or the connections with my father i know that he physically was
7:44
disentangled from me but I knew that there was so much more going on and last
7:50
Friday it was time and I got into the tub and I put in all my essential oils and I wrote
7:56
it all down and I had the bassalt so I could do the um the transformation you
8:03
know that type of thing i did the sound which was totally different than when I
8:09
did it with my mother to break that connection this was totally different experience
8:16
and it was a good thing because I put a lot of other things breaking like all ties with people that are still
8:22
connected to me because other people were coming back into my life that I thought were already broken and weren't
8:29
so I went through that and really put up some barriers to protect myself which was a good thing because yesterday
8:34
morning I had a dream about my mother and I um thought woke up and why am I
8:41
dreaming about my mother and she attacked and it was pretty dis it was
8:47
alarming and the sensations in my body of how she was trying to enter and she
8:53
couldn't because of the added barriers now I know this is a little far-fetched for people but you know what this stuff
8:58
does happen and I'm just going to tell you that it does happen but the whole point of all of this is
9:05
because I am aware of what's going on i'm paying attention and I'm observing
9:11
so much more is coming in because um I met this woman and the story she told me
9:17
just moved something that was monumental
9:24
and as long as that was being moved I think she opened the pavement because
9:29
all of this is documented this is all going to go into the next book that I'm writing because there's so much coming
9:35
in that's all about this new language i've told you guys that I am the doorway
9:42
and I thought it was for the ascension process which it is but I think more of what I am doing now which is the rod and
9:49
the sheep shepherd thing the rod and the staff thing is I'm downloading the
9:55
information because the one thing that this woman told me was that the spiritual awareness
10:01
is not existent on this planet and I have been asking for a long time of
10:06
what's wrong with the people on this planet and that's it their hearts are
10:11
closed and their minds are going i keep saying we are in the Armageddon times this is the end times this is the fall
10:18
of the Roman Empire this is Sodom and Gomorrah this is the fall of Atlantis
10:23
because we were all in our heads and it was all about greed money lust sex all
10:29
of the n all of those negative grounding physical things and we forgot our
10:36
humanity we're forgetting our spirituality we're forgetting that we are all connected
10:42
and I am bringing very high information in that I think is
10:49
natural but I'm finding it's not natural because when I did last week's show and I put up
10:56
a Tik Tok reel and I said the word nature speaks but it was really animal
11:02
speaks when I was talking about that and somebody said "This is really valuable information." And to me this is common
11:08
sense and I'm starting to realize that what I know is not common sense and so
11:14
I'm in the process of adding more things to my course and bringing in more value
11:21
to that course in such a deeper level and it's it's mindblowing to me at the
11:28
moment and this is all part of that remembrance this is all part that when you get into alignment when you start
11:35
speaking from that place of alignment when you start identifying who you are and allowing this world because this
11:42
book anthology is coming out in September and I got to read the pre-published version on Friday and I
11:49
was blown away and I realized that the story that I put in there was
11:54
desperately needed to be put in there and it was critical so the world will know a lot more about me and yet I came
12:02
back from the darkest of darkest areas
12:08
so here's a question for you because I know that you're probably feeling restless in your life right now because
12:15
you know there's something more but you don't know what it is and there's this deep inner knowing that something is
12:21
definitely missing and that's what I felt at 16 years old and we didn't have
12:26
the light on the planet but we did have knowledge spiritual knowledge on the planet maybe not where I am but we had a
12:35
lot of spiritual knowledge on the planet at that time so when was the first time that your light started to do to
12:43
diminish a lot of times you can go back to that
12:48
moment of when something major happened in your childhood that created it that's what happened when I remembered that 11
12:55
years old i spent a lifetime trying to remember that block and thank God I did not remember it until now because it was
13:02
such a horrific emotional experience to deal with so I invite you to journal
13:08
that in your quiet reflection of when was the first time you started to diminish your light because this is
13:14
going to give you a lot of insight into you and what you're looking for and the
13:21
live free activation guide that I have is a great support tool and it's yours

13:38
start getting things moving because when you don't know you don't know." And it's
13:44
a great starting place to move into that
13:51
so now that you know that you've lost your connection what I want to do in the next the next segment is to explore how
13:59
to begin remembering who you truly truly are
14:05
you know part of it is you're going to reconnect through journaling and I have created this amazing oh my god one of
14:12

14:17

you forgot and we're going to start learning how to remember and so stay with me
14:47
your soul is stirring and we're going to go ahead and take a quick commercial break
16:57
your soul isn't lost it's just quiet
17:02
let's wake it up so in this segment we're going to uncover the disconnection
17:09
it's time to reignite what's been dormant you'll learn how to tune back
17:14
into your soul's whispers the intuitive nudges and the quiet longings and the sacred yeses you've been ignoring you'll
17:22
also be guided through a simple process to create create reconnect with your inner voice and begin honoring the truth
17:29
that lives there so be sure to download the light
17:35
activation guide and your soul always speaks in a whisper
17:40
first your body your emotions and your energy
17:46
reflects your soul's state and the importance of stillness awareness and
17:52
breath is critical during these processes to listen so when I say that
17:59
you have to be present now and you do have to be present now because if you're so preoccupied or in a habitual pattern
18:05
and we all are habitual creatures and it's about you breaking that habitual nature that you have and start
18:13
paying attention to what's going on like all of a sudden you're feeling an angst well why are you feeling an angst ask
18:19
the question what just happened that all of a sudden I'm fine and happy golucky and then something just happened and
18:25
that's when I always say "Stop sit with it be with it and breathe through it." Because in those quiet
18:32
moments when you get all the angst out of the body you're going to discover
18:38
what it is your body will talk to you if you're not feeling well if you're sick whatever it is ask your body why because
18:45
your body is the physical manifestation of your thoughts and if you And that's why cancer is running rampant because so
18:51
many people deny the fact they will not stand up for who they are they're doormats they're people pleasers they
18:57
they don't want to say no because what if they don't like me and all the head trash that you go and do to yourselves
19:03
causes cancer it's not food it's not cigarettes i mean those probably are contributing factors but that's not what
19:09
really causes cancer and every cancer survivor if you talk to them as I have
19:14
will all tell you it was what they were thinking not what they were doing eating or do or smoking or whatever it's none
19:23
of that it was what they were thinking and when it goes into remission it's because they came to the core if it
19:29
doesn't go into remission they haven't gone deep enough yet and that's a truth
19:36
because your energy will always acknowledge that i mean I look at I don't have the energy that I once had
19:42
but I can still do wheelies around a 20-year-old that's how I look at it i'm not physically because age does is a
19:51
contributing factor in life i'm still doing what I need to do i can still do
19:56
what I want to do but I don't overdo it i know my limitations because I'm
20:01
acknowledging where my body is today and that's something that people have to do
20:07
because I mean S fell off a ladder i mean this man just doesn't stop and I told him I said "When are you going to
20:12
slow down and realize you're no longer 20?" He's like "I know i'm getting that i'm getting the message now
20:19
because we don't want to think that we still feel like we're 20 even if we're in our 60s 70 80s and 90s our spirit
20:27
doesn't age our bodies do our spirit is housed inside this body that's the only
20:34
thing it does and when you can accept that you can start looking at some of
20:40
those so-called limitations not that I call them that it's just a reality check
20:47
and that importance of being still and being aware of your surroundings and the breath because I want to go into other
20:54
higher frequencies and everybody says "Well just have to go in the fourth dimension or you can quantum leap or whatever it is that they say which is
21:01
all BS you get there through your heart you get there through your feelings."
21:06
Because when you go into higher dimensions it's not about what's in your brain it's about what's in your heart and you have to know your way around
21:11
because you don't know how to navigate those frequencies i don't always know how to navigate those frequencies but
21:17
I'm learning and it's not easy and I know that when I get into higher vibrational frequencies this 3D world is
21:24
really challenging to be in to the point that I'm going to have to have somebody either help me or I figure out that I
21:30
pick certain days when I'm going to go high and stay in 3D at other times i'm
21:36
learning that about myself because I'm present and I ask and I'm still with it
21:44
another way to reconnect is doing rituals you know what is your morning
21:49
ritual light activation guide is a great way to do it blessings is a great way to do it journaling walking hiking exercise
21:57
what is your morning routine like I told you repeatedly that my morning routine
22:03
is I get up I have my coffee and I'm quiet and I sit and reflect sometimes I journal sometimes I don't it just
22:09
depends on what's going on in my life but I I'm just being i want to know what
22:16
do I want to do today what do I And it's not so much what I want to do it's how do I want to feel and is there any
22:22
messages coming in i mean there's times where I feel like I'm just like a lump on a log like I don't even know where
22:28
I'm going right now and I do i walk around a lot of times thinking I don't have a clue i have more of a clue than I
22:35
realize it's just that I have such high expectations of myself and I'm learning
22:40
to stop doing that because spirit comes in through the quiet moments we evolve
22:46
through the quiet moments when we stop passing judgment on ourselves and torturing ourselves things
22:55
change and I can and I'm learning this in ways that I can't even fathom like
23:01
last Tuesday when I was dealing with all that stuff about my dad and dying alone and all the emotion what has come out of
23:08
that since um since that event is unfriaking believable
23:15
i've been on the phone with a friend of mine so many times for hours just talking and going about what this like
23:22
what some of this stuff meant and what it means and where am I going and what does this and all the things that I
23:28
thought I knew I didn't know well I did know but I'm expanding it to something
23:33
bigger and broader than what I ever could imagine and the clarity that's coming in because I'm navigating those
23:41
tough icky emotions i'm reinventing myself instead of killing myself because
23:47
my identity died when my father died no I'm choosing to go through those icky
23:52
nasty emotions and discover well who am I really so even though all this work
23:57
I've done on myself and know
24:02
when that perpetrator died something went changed in my brain
24:08
something changed and I didn't know what it was so I sat
24:14
with it and by sitting with it I started to realize it and then I called a friend
24:20
when I was in the middle of it and I said am I not supposed to have anything in my
24:26
life i mean I went down the I went down the rabbit hole what if I'm not supposed to have money what if this what if this
24:32
what if this what if I'm doing this all for not that's where I went that's how lost and confused I felt with what was
24:39
happening in my life at that moment and I navigated through it i talked to
24:44
somebody when I was in the depth of that emotion she'd never seen this side most people don't see this side of me
24:52
and I just because spirit said you need to call her she will help you navigate this
24:59
and so I did best thing I ever did because of what unfolded and then we've had several more
25:06
conversations and every time something new comes in I send her a text and said "Oh my god you got to you wait i got to
25:12
tell you this." Or I just send her the text and said "I'm in the middle of this and we'll get back in touch." You know that kind of thing because we're
25:20
defining our roles right now of I mean she keeps telling me that you know you
25:25
have to be here for a while longer because I want what you have i want to know what you know i want to bring what
25:31
you're bringing forward and I want to know how to do it and she said "And I know that when you pass over we're still
25:38
going to stay connected because you're going to bring it." And I said "Yeah I'm willing to do that because it's that critical of this world to change and
25:46
ascend." And I get such a kick out of that and that's why when I started journaling
25:54
and journaling it's amazing how much more comes out when I journal especially when you have when you're look asking
26:01
for the truth so you know here's a great prompt for you what am I pretending not
26:08
to know because we know even if you don't think you know you know
26:15
you always know you just choose not to remember that you know so starting a
26:20
journal with that opening line let's just see what comes out for you when you
26:25
do that and then of course I'm always about nature silence and intuitive
26:32
listening because those really do work they really are what you need sometimes
26:38
you can just put on a quiet music or sometimes if you got to get angst out i
26:44
mean I like putting on music and get that body moving because it's moving energy it's getting rid of the stagnant
26:49
energy that's why being out in nature or walking exercising yoga whatever it is
26:55
that's why that's so critical because it gets rid of the stagnant energy and brings in a whole new set of tools for
27:01
you to do this so when you want to start
27:06
releasing some of the blocks you know what are they mine was I had a fear of
27:12
being seen it was so much easier to be invisible because nobody could hurt me if I was invisible you know guilt for
27:17
wanting more or doubt i mean I know that my mother had a thing of well how much
27:23
money do you really need i know I say that crap all the time how much money do you really need but it's not how much
27:28
money do you really need it's like you can only buy so many houses and cars and boats and things like that for me
27:34
money's in an energy money is spiritual and money is about what can I do what
27:40
good can I do with money it's not about how many houses I have or anything like that it's it's more evolved and
27:46
sometimes that's what we have to look at and I know for me to have that I have to get out there and I have to be seen and
27:52
I have to let the world see me and it otherwise it's never going to happen so you know I put myself through trauma
27:58
that's how I look at it it's discomfort it's total discomfort to do that but I'm
28:04
willing to do it because I believe that my message is very much needed and I'm
28:09
going to go forward with that and then I'm going to invite you to release and give permission to reclaim your light
28:17
because a lot of times we don't give ourselves permission to do things because we've been told "No you can't
28:22
have it no you don't deserve it why do you want it what are you selfish?" These
28:28
are all words I've heard my whole life you know you're selfish no I'm not how
28:34
could you be so selfish when I have all these mouths to feed that has nothing to do with it i want to dance i want to do
28:40
what's good for me my mother didn't get it and then it would be like well why did Kelly get to
28:46
dance well Kelly walked like a duck well what does that have to do with She didn't want to go dancing
28:52
little things like that i mean those left really strong impressions in my mind to where I didn't think that I was
28:58
worthy and deserving um that I didn't matter to the world but I do matter and
29:04
I know I matter and I know who I am because I got so much clarity over this last week about that
29:11
and so we're going to go ahead and we're going to start transitioning and taking a commercial break but it's one thing to
29:17
remember your soul but it you are not living from it and that's what we're going to dive into next so don't forget
29:24
to download the free activation guide if you haven't it's a per perfect companion
29:30
as you reignite with your inner light and with that we're going to go ahead and take a quick commercial break
31:41
this is your permission slip to stop shrinking and start shining
31:46
we're going to dive into what it truly means to live as your awakened soul-led self this isn't about perfection it's
31:53
about alignment you'll learn how to recognize when you're slipping back into old patterns how to consciously choose
31:59
your power and how to trust your path even when it looks unfamiliar it's time
32:05
to step into the version of you that spirit always knew you could be
32:11
so what I want you to do is I want you to close your eyes and put your hands on
32:16
your heart and ask "What does my soul want me to
32:22
remember today?"
32:31
When you start remembering what you're supposed to remember you
32:37
start embodying it and so that means that you're starting to live a soulfilled aligned life on the
32:45
difference between knowing and being
32:50
we have to be before we have it's be do have we have
32:57
to be that person we have to be what we want then we
33:04
then we do whatever comes in the baby steps that we move into that direction
33:09
of our dreams and then we have it so we're living it and we're creating it
33:16
twice and so when I said when I created this so-called future self of mine and I
33:22
stepped into her last year it was powerful because I knew one day I would step into
33:29
her and then when I stepped when she came in and I got used to the energy and I understood what was happening because
33:34
I you know I'm always asking and if I need help when I go to bed at
33:41
night I ask like last night I asked for more help of like what is it that I'm
33:46
missing that I'm not getting what is it that I need to do that I'm not doing or not seeing because we all have blind
33:52
spots and with me communicating with people different people than I've ever had around me before it's making all the
34:00
difference in the world because I'm asking different questions i'm not coming from a victim place i'm coming
34:05
from an empowerment place i'm coming from a place of really wanting to break through whatever this is because I know
34:12
I'm like this close i'm like right there but something's missing and every time I
34:19
connect a dot or I get a little bit more information there's this exponential growth that happens when I do this and
34:27
it will happen for you as well because so many people talk about when the dots connect and when they get to that point
34:33
and then there's a point where you're going to break through and step over and you'll have everything that you want and
34:40
I believe that because I've seen it repeatedly but for what I want and how big this dream is it's taking a lot of
34:48
work it's really dumping the darkness and the heaviness and the things that I can't see that I'm pulling it up into my
34:56
into the surface of where I am
35:07
and because of that I know i'm just starting to learn how to know and be i'm
35:13
merging it it's not just something it's not a concept anymore it's a beingness it's a truth that's why I say I know
35:20
because I'm connecting with me i'm connecting with my higher self or my my divine self or my spiritual self or
35:27
whatever you want to call it because I'm connecting and I've merged with that
35:33
higher self of mine because I brought in my higher self that's what I did and now
35:38
I'm taking that to the next level because I'm like well what comes above her is that my is that the um
35:45
um the oversol because I want to know what that's like in embodiment now I may or may not know
35:52
what it is but I'm going to strive for it and that's what I'm doing so that way when I'm there there's this union
35:59
between me and my higher self that I can allow them to drive the car put the ego
36:05
in the back and I just go for the ride do what I need I can do stop and wait for the next set of instructions it's
36:12
really simple and yet it's one of the hardest things you'll ever do because you've got fear
36:18
you got ego you've got what if and oh my god and fear comes up and everything under all your paradigms come up
36:25
everything comes up to make it really challenging for you to keep moving forward
36:32
so one of the things is you know staying in alignment as far as I'm concerned that alignment thing is really critical
36:39
that once you see your alignment you never stop seeing your alignment and you know like I do alignment sessions I do
36:47
have things to help people with alignment and through that alignment process
36:53
you know what are your core values what is your unmet need I mean I knew what my
36:59
core values were but I didn't know how to lead with them i didn't know how to use them in my life to the degree that I did but once I learned how to do that
37:06
that was a gamecher like I could bring all of me to the table then when I discovered the unmet need was that
37:14
safety factor and how I always needed to feel safe because I always created safety for others and when I created the
37:20
safety for others I received safety back sounds simple doesn't mean it is
37:27
but I didn't know that part and what but I had spent my entire life talking about
37:34
you're safe you're safe you're safe i tell that to my animals i tell that to people i tell that to clients and
37:39
customers and all that i'm always saying you're safe because that was what I had
37:45
to say to myself that I was safe and I never felt that in return and that's part of what that alignment does too is
37:54
it helps you to stay there so if I'm not feeling safe the question is is why am I
37:59
not feeling safe what just happened that I feel scared when I say I have these panic attacks at night I really do and
38:06
they are brief moments and I know what that means is that my I'm getting ready
38:11
to make a leap someplace else and spirit and my ego is freaked out because it
38:18
thinks it's going to die well it's not going to die i'm taking it along i tell it I'm taking it along and I tell it to
38:23
get in the back seat and we'll be fine and I breathe through it
38:29
i don't like those moments but I also know that those are my new warning gauges of where I am on my path even if
38:37
I don't think I'm there I'm there and I have to trust that and I do trust that now
38:43
and I don't freak out about it and those panic attacks happen less and less and
38:49
less all the time and every time I get that it's always I and the father are one i and the father are one i and the
38:58
father are one because what it does it reminds me that I'm not alone on this
39:03
path i do have somebody overseeing me and watching me and protecting me and when I do that I can relax my shoulders
39:10
i can breathe again and I can fall asleep real simple techniques
39:17
but we are so addicted to the adrenaline rush and the freaked outness and the
39:23
fear and all that other stuff and I just don't like living that way i want a nice
39:29
calm nervous system and I still work very hard to this day to keep my nervous
39:36
system that way so you know check in does it
39:42
feel like when you're discovering something does it feel like a truth or do you feel like you're in survival when
39:48
I have a panic attack I'm in survival when I breathe through it then I feel
39:53
like I'm in control and I have the truth and then a new door opens because I went
39:59
through the door it's that simple it really is that
40:05
simple to do that so when you're how do you how are you
40:10
going to navigate your fear and your old patterns these are the paradigms shifts that I'm talking about i have programs
40:15
on how to do this and where you take total control because when you start
40:20
feeling fear and bringing your old patterns up you start dimming your light because you start devaluing you again
40:28
you're allowing everybody else to control you instead of you being in control do you think Tony Robbins
40:33
doesn't go through this or or Wayne Dyer at one point they all
40:40
still had to go through it but they knew who they were because they kept working through those paradigms they will be
40:45
with you the rest of your life how are you talking to yourself how are you navigating how are you dispelling it
40:53
i have tools in how to do that and it works so when it comes up now I
40:58
just flip it or I look at okay what came up that caused this because sometimes those are a mechanism to letting you
41:05
know that you just did something that caused this paradigm they're not something bad they're a wakeup call for
41:11
you to see that you did something that caused this and which is a lot of times what I want is well what am I doing
41:17
differently or what am I not seeing and if a paradigm is coming up there's a reason why that paradigm showed up that
41:23
paradigm showed up is because I took a step in some direction that opened the door so it's not negative it's never
41:31
negative people make it negative it's not
41:36
it's who you are it's your growth strategy is how do you take control of it you
41:43
don't think Jesus didn't have stuff jesus had stuff buddha had stuff they
41:49
all had stuff just like we do because they were human and if we're human we have stuff it's
41:56
working through it instead of being Oh sorry my nose is itchy instead of being
42:03
a victim it's about taking your power back and the power isn't about standing
42:08
up to a bully the power is you taking your power back because when you stand up to yourself I trust you trust me if
42:15
there's a bully you're going to stand up to that bully and you're going to reach them in a way that they do not know how
42:21
to handle and they will back down and walk away i've done it so many times in my life I can't even tell you i did it
42:27
in a courtroom i'm in court my mother's death the judge
42:34
tells me certain things aren't going to happen in the courtroom they happened in the courtroom you know what I did to the judge i got up and walked out while he
42:42
was still talking so do you think I have any respect for judges no
42:48
if they're good judges that's one thing if they're bad judges I don't have to listen to it and it's not and I don't
42:54
have to because he violated my right to be heard in a courtroom didn't matter if he agreed with it or
43:00
not so I walked out of the room but I can tell you also my brother
43:06
didn't get what he wanted that day either that's power
43:13
because I was in the side of the light i was in my power i knew what I was willing to take and not take and when
43:19
the judge did that he didn't deserve any respect i don't give respect because you wear a
43:24
a robe or you have a uniform on you earn that if I'm not mistreating you you
43:32
don't get to mistreat me and that's something that people have to start looking at and realizing as well
43:37
so what's one of the affirmations that I'm always saying to myself is I am safe to be who I truly am and I am safe to be
43:46
that person just like you're safe to be that person we just put ourselves and
43:52
surround ourselves with people that hurt us or want to keep us small i can't tell
43:58
you how many people I have walked out of and left in my life i have been around so many
44:06
people i have been around millionaires i have been around some of the most
44:11
influential people of my time
44:17
and they listened to me and they heard me you know Wayne Dyer I saw him at the
44:23
beach he lived in Fort Lauderdale i was at the beach he just wrote the book Erroneous Zones i'm on the private beach
44:29
he's got all these beautiful women around him i went up to him and I started questioning him about his book
44:35
because I wanted to verify he was who he said he was and I had a girlfriend who was like "Oh my god I can't believe
44:41
you're doing this." And I'm like "Well that's your problem." And you know what wayne Dyer remembered
44:48
that because 20 years later I got on a stage with him and said "I know you
44:53
don't remember me but I'm going to remind you of something that I did." And he remembered that event
45:00
that's power that's standing in who you are doesn't
45:05
matter if he knew who I was i was 20 years old i was lost i was scared i was insecure i didn't know anything but what
45:11
I did know is I needed to test and prove if he was right because I have this woman over here going on about oh he's
45:17
like so wonderful and I'm like really well let me see if he really is i mean who was I
45:23
well I know who I am to why I did that but the question was at 20 was who was I to do that and I just knew that for some
45:31
reason I had to verify he was who he claimed to be and Wayade and Dyer was the real deal he may have done all sorts
45:38
of weird stuff at one point because we all do but he was the real deal
45:45
and that was to me was very powerful that's why I followed him i didn't buy all of his books and I didn't go to all
45:51
of his courses but I would go to some of his talks and I would remember him and I
45:56
would talk to him and he was open and he was kind and he cared about people
46:02
that's what mattered and that's who I wanted to become was that person and with that we're going to go ahead and
46:08
take a quick commercial break
48:15
welcome back everyone to the journey of an awakening spirit this is Kathleen Flanagan your host and we're streaming on the Bold Brave TV network and I just
48:22
saw a comment that I can't respond to cuz I'm not sure how to get this working in the chat right now but um John 14:6 I
48:30
will look that up and if you want to share what that is I would really appreciate it so I know what you're
48:37
referring to but I'm definitely going to look it up for um but what I wanted to say as a guided soul reminder is you
48:45
were you were never broken you were just buried and you're rising now and that's
48:51
what these end times are about that's what's going on in the world yes it looks crazy and chaotic out there and it
48:57
is but it doesn't have to be your world and that's the one thing is you know I'm
49:03
hearing all this stuff about what's changing what I AI is doing all that kind of stuff and what I do know is that
49:13
it's not going to change it's part of what's going on but it doesn't have to be the world that I live in
49:20
i'm navigating we all are navigating unchartered waters
49:27
we are and the only way that this world is going to change is when you remember who you are when you take the time to
49:34
ask the hard questions when you sit and you be in those emotions and I mean it
49:40
will suck to be in those emotions you will never get used to those emotions
49:46
but what you will know and what will get easier is the length of time of being in
49:51
those emotions and what follows from those emotions so even though last Tuesday I was in it and I was in this
49:59
icky place what came out of it far surpassed the emotion that I was in
50:07
i am showing you how to navigate these waters that is the job that I came here to do
50:15
is to help show you the way home and the way home could be wherever you think it
50:21
is but it's really the way home to you it's back to your remembrance
50:27
we are all here for a reason every single one of us chose to be here on the
50:32
earth at this moment in time the question is is what's the decision you're making are you going to make your
50:39
life worthwhile the one thing that I wanted to make sure is that I when I
50:44
I've said this over and over that people couldn't believe how much I do and get done and I was always a so-called tough
50:52
act to follow and I would make people tired by what I did and I said I'm here
50:58
to experience life and that is not sitting on a te on the couch watching TV
51:05
it is not smoking pot or getting drunk or jump well jumping out of a perfectly
51:10
good airplane is a way to experience life it's just not mine
51:16
but sitting there and not doing anything and staying in a habitual life and being on so-called vacation and miserable and
51:23
being a victim is not experiencing life to me I wanted to make the most of who
51:30
am I why am I here what is my purpose and and lived that life i had immense
51:39
mentors that were so dynamic that I wanted to be that person i don't know how I could have gotten there and I'm
51:46
still navigating that part because I still had that limiting belief and not wanting to be seen not wanting to be
51:52
heard and it was so much easier and safer to be invisible because I do my best work in invisibility and that's
51:59
what I did everything I did has been invisible and I didn't care i wasn't out for the glory and a true spiritual
52:07
person walking in this earth is not here for the glory they're here to get the
52:12
work done to get the job done but spirit asked me in 2017
52:18
to come out and start being seen and so I'm here and trust me it went
52:25
with kicking and screaming every step of the way and I'm doing that and I'm going deeper
52:32
and deeper and deeper and I'm bringing the core essence of what happened to me in this lifetime out and I'm bringing
52:39
the core essence of who I truly am in this world out
52:45
when I say that I'm here and I will talk to you I really do mean that nobody
52:51
deserves to suffer ever ever
52:58
and I will and you know I don't charge all the time when I'm talking to people when I say I'm going to give you 15
53:04
minutes I'm giving you that and I'm not going to do a sales pitch on you or
53:09
anything else like that that if you're really hurting I'm going to talk to you during that period of time and that's
53:14
what I do well that pretty well concludes the show for today i want to
53:19
remind you that you can go to the kathleenflanagan.com site and there's a list of my services and products there i've done a little
53:26
