Introduction: Setting the Stage for Transformation [0:01]
Caroline Myss frames the session as a retreat aimed at personal transformation. She expresses her belief in the unseen companionship of angels and saints, emphasizing its profound reality. The goal is to activate the "holy imagination" and guide participants through a journey of consciousness that touches the soul, not just the mind. This journey is intended to ignite a lasting inner light, granting access to a personal power that influences life positively and reveals one's true purpose beyond material pursuits.
Discovering and Surrendering to Personal Power [1:50]
The core of the teaching revolves around understanding and mastering personal power. Myss describes a progression from being influenced by external forces to recognizing one's own powerlessness, then choosing empowerment, and finally surrendering that power to its divine source. This surrender allows divine power to flow through individuals, as exemplified by figures like Buddha and Jesus. The aim is to achieve self-command, resisting external control and directing one's soul with intention.
The New Spiritual Practice: Managing Light, Love, and Law [4:31]
Myss introduces a new spiritual practice centered on managing one's "light," "love," and "law," equating law with God. She asserts the decline of the belief in off-planet beings resembling humans and highlights the emergence of a new level of empowerment. This practice involves recognizing when one is losing personal power ("hemorrhaging") and actively reclaiming it. It's about making conscious choices about how much power to give to external factors, such as a medical diagnosis, and directing one's soul accordingly.
Carolyn's World: Unraveling the Design of the Universe [5:33]
Myss invites participants into her understanding of the universe's design, shaped by her experiences as a medical intuitive. She emphasizes that this perspective is her own, encouraging participants to question and adapt it to their understanding. A key aspect of this journey is unlearning previously held beliefs and embracing the design of our "biospirit ecology." This involves recognizing that we live within our orbit, influencing our sense of time, history, and spatial relationships.
The Power of Choice and Co-Creation [9:21]
Myss discusses her work tracking the power of choices and their consequences, highlighting the concept of co-creation. She emphasizes that every thought and word is an act of creation with a corresponding power consequence. This understanding is crucial for navigating the multiple layers of the self and shifting one's relationship to the speed of perception and truth. The ability to embrace compassion and shine light on situations versus judging and shutting out power is a central theme.
Living in the Power of the Soul vs. the Ego [13:10]
The journey of life, according to Myss, is about living in the power of the soul rather than the ego. This involves empowering others, overcoming the fear of losing personal power, and embracing the mystical truth that everything is interconnected. She stresses the importance of mystical laws, such as "As Above, So Below," and recognizing that actions towards others directly affect oneself. The wars and conflicts in the world are seen as manifestations of our collective shift from a fossil era to a solar era, calling for a move towards holism.
The Earth Molecule: Embracing Holism and Ordinary Greatness [15:17]
Myss emphasizes the concept of interconnectedness, stating that each individual is an "earth molecule" with no separation from the whole. She urges listeners to form a whole body, rejecting the notion of being a "rogue cell" that seeks exceptionalism over unity. Instead, she advocates for bowing before the laws of the universe, playing one's part, and recognizing the contempt held for being ordinary. The choices made anchor individuals and their souls, highlighting the importance of managing one's energy and avoiding negative anchors like anger.
Altitude and Timelessness: Healing and the Laws of the Universe [18:10]
Myss discusses the difficulty of overcoming oneself and the necessity of achieving "altitude" – timelessness – for healing. She explains that healing requires acquiring timelessness and entering present time, understanding and applying the laws of the universe. She acknowledges the challenges in healing deep wounds, emphasizing the paradoxical nature of human beings, who are both strong and delicate, loving and bitter. The workshop aims to help individuals get over themselves and embrace forgiveness and love.
Shifting Consciousness: Realizing What Always Was [20:35]
Myss explores how eras of consciousness evolve, leading to expanded understandings of truth. She uses the example of Copernicus and Galileo's discovery that the Earth revolves around the Sun, which shifted the cosmology and humanity's relationship with God. She emphasizes the importance of "realization" over "discovery," suggesting that we come to accept what always was rather than finding something new. This concept is applied to the shifting nature of God, urging listeners to realize the divine as it always has been.
The Evolution of God: From External Force to Internal Connection [24:56]
Myss discusses the evolution of understanding God from an external force requiring sacrifices to an internal connection inherent in our design. She highlights that early humans always sought connection to something greater, leading to the development of mythologies and traditions like the Tree of Life and chakras. These traditions reflect an inherent, organic divinity designed to connect with the cosmos. She contrasts this with the arrogance of modern doubt and emphasizes the importance of humility.
Humility and the Mystical Universe [28:40]
Myss defines humility not as poverty but as recognizing the design of the universe and remaining open to learning. She encourages listeners to acknowledge what they don't know and avoid judgment. She connects humility to prayer, suggesting that one should ask God what they need to know about a situation and leave it at that. She emphasizes the negative power of judgment and the karmic law that judging leads to being judged. The mystical universe operates according to laws taught by enlightened teachers like Buddha and Jesus.
Early Days and the Relationship to Time, Space, and Energy [32:24]
Myss reflects on early human history, suggesting a different relationship to time, space, and energy, with less doubt and arrogance. She posits that people physically saw angels and that this era was marked by the revelation of universal laws. She references Pythagoras and his understanding of mathematics as a living consciousness within the universe. She connects Pythagorean concepts to the chakra system, explaining how the numbers one and two represent wholeness and conflict, respectively.
The Oneness of Everything: A Downloaded Understanding [35:32]
Myss shares a personal experience of receiving a "download" of the teachings of Pythagoras, which integrated mathematics with the chakra system and the Mansions. This experience led her to understand that mathematics is within us and that we are a mathematical system, representing the oneness of everything. She communicates that the journey of life is about realizing this oneness and that we are cells of one collective soul. Conflicts arise when we resist this oneness, mirroring the body's fight against becoming whole when ill.
The Fight Against Becoming Whole and the Fear of Divine Assignments [37:48]
Myss explains that people often fight against becoming whole, sabotaging themselves due to the fear of losing control and being drafted into the service of humanity. This fear stems from a lack of faith and trust in divine assignments, preferring to control God rather than surrender to a higher purpose. She emphasizes that the collective journey involves overcoming this fear and recognizing the extraordinary nature of humanity.
Traveling Between Eras: The End of the Off-Planet God [40:19]
Myss asserts that we are transitioning from an era of an "off-planet God" and Abrahamic religions to a new understanding of the divine. This involves moving away from the idea of a man-like God who behaves like us and towards recognizing that events are neither good nor bad but simply happen. Wars are seen as consequences of collective hostility and fear, fueled by individual drops of negativity. Healing this negativity within oneself can disarm the forces of destruction.
The Power of Consciousness and Cosmic Realization [42:49]
Myss encourages listeners to go inside themselves and track their attitudes and thoughts, conducting a "medical intuitive reading" on their souls. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing the power of consciousness and understanding things at a cosmic level. She explains that we operate on multiple levels of consciousness, utilizing these levels at all times. The goal is to become fully present, shifting one's relationship to time and space.
Navigating Consciousness: The Nuclear Age and Energetic Anatomy [46:51]
Myss suggests that the universe, in response to the nuclear age, has dictated that we understand our participation in creating reality. Just as discovering that we don't fall off the edge of the Earth changed maps and navigation, we must learn to navigate consciousness with precision. She emphasizes that our energetic anatomy is as complex as our physical anatomy and that we must learn to navigate the laws of creation. This involves recognizing that energy precedes matter and being conscious of our thoughts.
Grace and the Power of the Soul [49:01]
Myss explains that thought is powerful and that this power can be considered "Grace." She emphasizes the importance of praying before creating and evolving to a place where one recognizes the power of the soul. She outlines a plan to go through the levels of consciousness one piece at a time, exploring the laws, chakras, and Mansions.
Collective Soul and the Essential Ingredients [50:31]
In response to a question about the collective soul, Myss uses the analogy of making cookies, where each ingredient is essential to the whole. She emphasizes that every individual is a necessary ingredient, equally significant, important, and beautiful. She cautions against undervaluing those who are quietly in prayer, as their grace prevents destruction. The loudest voices are often the most powerless, while the quiet ones hold the world together.
Curiosity and the Driving Forces of Spiritual Development [53:14]
In response to a question about the role of curiosity in spiritual development, Myss acknowledges its importance in her own life. However, she emphasizes that everyone is driven by different forces, such as frustration, anger, or envy. The key is to get on the track, regardless of the driving force.
Energy Anatomy and the Download of Collective Consciousness [54:10]
Myss introduces the organization of chakras as a common concept, highlighting how far we've come in collectively understanding energy anatomy. She explains that the universe downloads us collectively, providing the vocabulary we need. One of the downloaded thoughts post-nuclear age is that we create our reality. The nuclear power we possess is the power of our soul, not our ego.
The Age of Holism and the Biospiritual Ecology Theology [57:43]
Myss emphasizes that we are in the age of holism, where everyone is involved. Conflicts and crises, such as pandemics and climate change, involve the whole world. There is no place to escape the consequences, and either we all change, or we all suffer. She introduces the emerging theology of biospiritual ecology, where God is law, and every choice has a consequence. Every act of forgiveness contributes to the whole planet, while every violent thought contributes to violence. She concludes by emphasizing the power individuals have to transform themselves and contribute to the healing of the whole.
