In The Know
Living In Spirit
The ideal state is living in Spirit—where we connect with our higher, loving Self, the Source of all creation. But in a world filled with duality (right/wrong; good/bad), it’s not always easy to maintain this connection.
When I’m knocked out of Spirit, whether by my own emotions or the energy of others, I’m not my best self. However, when I remain conscious—fully aware in each moment (which takes intention and practice)—I can navigate life guided by Spirit, a higher self that operates free from drama and chaos.
When I’m not conscious (aware of my thoughts), my ego often takes over, allowing emotions that don’t reflect my true Self to dictate my actions, leading me down more difficult paths. My ego is a part of me, so I don’t have to try to control it, as that only amplifies it. But I can be aware of when it has taken over my thoughts and actions.
Being conscious—observing our thoughts and emotions without letting them define us—requires ongoing awareness and practice. It’s easy to slip and allow our mental and emotional states to become the decision-makers, thus shaping our reality. While I’m not dismissing the validity of our thoughts and emotions, I don’t want them (the domain of the ego) running the show. I want Spirit in charge.
The ego can be loud and convincing, often tricking us into believing we’re aligned with Spirit when we’re not. When I pause and consciously reconnect, sometimes all I can do is tell myself, “It’s okay to not be okay.” This helps me become aware of my thoughts and negate them by repeatedly saying, “I release these thoughts, feelings, and emotions because they no longer serve me.” This practice helps me stay present and prevents my thoughts and emotions from taking control and creating false stories and beliefs.
Often, the emotions or thoughts I’m wrestling with aren’t even mine—they’re ones I’ve unconsciously absorbed from others. We share an energetic field where everything exists for everyone to access. So, how often are we letting our lives be driven not only by our own emotions—but by someone else’s?
The question “Would you rather be right or free?” also helps me step out of the ego’s need to be right and return to a neutral, centered state. Everyone is entitled to their own perceptions. So, when others try to impose their beliefs on us, we can recognize that it often comes from a place of fear, lack, and insecurity. We don’t have to believe it, nor do we need to take on their emotions as our own. When we’re in Spirit, we respect others’ perspectives as their truth while standing in our own sovereignty. In Spirit, we don’t need to make others wrong to feel right, and we’ll always know what to do in any situation.
As systems break down and restructure, and as strife and chaos grow more visible, discernment becomes essential. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but it’s crucial to pay attention to how we feel—not just what we hear. Words carry energy, and even if a message aligns with our beliefs, our emotional body might signal otherwise. The primitive part of us may be subconsciously triggered, putting us in a lower-level emotional state, making it harder to be aware and critically discern. If you find yourself here, repeatedly say, “I release these thoughts, feelings, and emotions because they no longer serve me.” Let Spirit guide you to what is truly important to “know.”
Being informed doesn’t mean constantly immersing ourselves in the chaos, imposing our viewpoints on others, or feeling compelled to stay “in the know.” True knowledge comes from tuning into our inner guidance and trusting it to reveal what we need to know. Emotions, while valuable indicators, are not meant to be in control—they can guide us to pause and reconnect with Spirit for clarity.
Living in this way allows us to navigate life from a powerful, loving alignment with our higher self, sovereign to the world around us—Spirit.
