We Are Spiritual Beings Having A Human Experience

We are merely spiritual beings having a human experience. This means we are two in one. We have two aspects, the higher self and the lower self. We have two bodies, the physical body and the energy body.
Human conditioning has led us to believe we are one thing, human, and this has caused a separation that has left a void that we try to fill with all kinds of things.
Our intuition is our higher self speaking to us and our ego is what argues with it, constantly. The angel on one shoulder and devil on the other, is really our flawless and all knowing higher self and our lower self's ego at odds with one another. The ego, in an effort to fit into societal norms, betrays our truth in exchange for the illusion of what those around us expect. It leaves us feeling empty and alone searching outside of us for stability that can only be found within.
Our higher self, is eternal. The physical body and ego will die and fade away, but our energetic body and higher self has always been and will always be.
We are not from this world, nor of this world. The human life is an experience our higher self is learning from. Earth is a school and suffering pushes us into learning. How we deal with suffering molds us.
Our free will chooses, constantly. We lean into the positive or we lean into negative and both give back the same. With each choice we form our reality.
Negative choices keeps our focus on negativity and we cultivate negativity in our lives.
Positive choices takes our mind to a different perspective and cultivates positivity in our lives, despite circumstances.
Our outlook directly impacts our life's experience. All words, all thoughts, all actions are energy. At any moment we can decide to transmute negative energy into positive that we take in and put out.
Self awareness is key because we are bound by a limited belief system.
We have been living in the astrological age of Pisces, which is driven by ego and fear has been used to oppress us all. Fear has bread negativity and we accept it because it's all we have known how to do.
The astrological age of Pisces has been an age of low level emotional frequency. We cling to shame, guilt, grief, fear, desire, anger, and pride and they built a prison around us unaware.
We are transitioning out of Pisces and into the astrological age of Aquarius. An age that will be driven by harmony and governed by LOVE. Unconditional LOVE. 💖
One by one, we are awakening into self awareness and it is leading our lower selves on a journey to becoming one with our higher selves again.
A homecoming as our two natures integrate back into one.
The us now returning to the us before human conditioning began.
We are unlearning illusional truths that were never intended to be ours and finding our own truth, our authenticity. We are gaining courage to question "group consciousness" in order to find what we really believe.
In so doing, we are exchanging the lower frequency emotions with high frequency ones.
"Courage" leads us to find "neutrality" so that we can see other's lives and opinions matter even if different than ours.
"Neutrality" leads us to a "willingness" to understand what we do not understand.
Our "willingness" leads us to "acceptance" that helps us to have "reasoning" for another's life journey and this produces "love" for all of mankind understanding we are really one.
This realization brings "joy" which births "peace" in our relationships, community, and world.
The age of Aquarius is an age of personal evolution, healing, and enlightenment. Astrological ages last 2,160 years and has a transition between ages that is approximately 200-500 years.
Buddha and Jesus (whose message was the same) lived during the transition into the age of Pisces, giving us hope and a model of how to live in this controlling and fear based age. Their lives and teachings were a guide preparing us for the transition we are now within. Their teaching and their essence was "Christ-consciousness."
We will return to Christ-consciousness in the age of Aquarius. All the higher level emotions are a road back to who we all really are. We are all love, we have just forgotten. We are all extensions off of Source, God, whatever you want to call the Devine Creator of all. This makes us one.
We are awakening to the illusion of our separateness. It makes "other's" journeys and healing as important as our own.
Each person who raises their emotional frequency, helps to raise the frequency for all. Our interconnectedness climbing the higher frequency emotional grid will play a pivotal role in raising the frequency for all of humanity. Providing liberation from self made prisons the lower frequency has built.
Do you feel the shift? It is a beautiful, yet, painful thing. Change is difficult. It is much easier to stay in what we have always known, be who we have always been even when that has brought us nothing but suffering.
It takes courage and a lot of work to exchange habitual lower energy emotions for higher ones. It requires the deconstructed of our ego. It requires a period of time where we are no longer who we used to be but not who we are becoming yet. A very awkward space of learning and unlearning. A space where we fall back into our old patterns, pick ourselves back up, dust off, move forward, fall backwards, until the moment comes when we gain enough momentum and skill sets to not fall back into the old and live fully in the new. ✨
Self evolution is the hardest most rewarding work you will ever do. When we are stagnant, suffering never ends and negativity rules. We must push ourselves with dedication to move up the frequency spiral. We must wake daily with the intention to be better today than we were yesterday. We must be willing to own and adjust our weak areas into strengths.
The age of Pisces has been an age of projecting pain onto one another, hurt people hurt people. The age of Aquarius will be an age where healed people heal each other by projecting love onto one another.
Love is patient, love is kind, it is not jealous; love does not brag, it is not arrogant. It does not act disgracefully, it does not seek its own benefit; it is not provoked, does not keep an account of a wrong suffered, it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; it keeps every confidence, it believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.
My name is Joy Howell and I am a trauma informed intuitive energy healer. If you are stagnant, needing assistance in finding the skills to move up the frequency grid, I would be honored to help. I offer low cost life coaching. I am not in this for the money but for the evolution of humanity. I use knowledge gained from my own healing journey out of a life of trauma and energy work through the modality of Reiki. I have skills to empower you in emotional healing, clearing energy blockages as we go.
Suffering will always be a part of the human experience. Pain is always a process of growth. However, the pain in growth does not have to be as sharp as we make it. There is a way to move through pain with joy and this changes how we experience suffering. I would love to help you embrace human suffering in such a way that working with it is the most rewarding thing you will ever do.
