We never really realize just how much we hold ourselves back by the obstacles that are within us. Once we discover these, uncover the roots, and rid ourselves of them, we can get the rewards that we set out for.

WHY SELF WORK IS REALLY IMPORTANT (with reference to my own life)
Intro: so, I remember about a year ago i was heavily following YouTubers like Shelly Bullard and Kim Velez who would always emphasise on working on your “self concept”. I would find it so annoying because i was always concerned with manifesting my desire into the 3D because of my attachment to that thing. Lol. Biggest joke. I thought once i get this, i will be fine. And personally saying mere affirmations like “i am perfect” or dis-identifying myself with my unhealed self never did the work for me. Doing things like non-identification comes later, we can’t just bypass all the human stuff. And that’s where i disagree with Sammy Ingram.
The point of doing inner-work: sure, you can manifest a lot of things by simply imagining. And it will definitely come into your 3D. But what’s the point if you’re gonna lose it anyway because of your fears, self-sabotaging behaviours. For example, in 2021 i was in a relationship with the love of my life. However, because of my poor SC, i would be so anxious all the time, that the relationship became hell for me. Because of my own overthinking and anxiety, i would self sabotage, then manifest him again, then self sabotage again and it continued to be a repetitive cycle of emotional abuse and trauma. Until the point came where I couldn’t take it anymore. There was too much resentment to go back there and i ended the relationship for once and for all. I’m sure that’s not the kind of ending you’re looking for, with your SPs lol.
Techniques for inner-work:
1. EFT tapping: my personal favourite. I follow Brad Yates for this. Hop onto his channel to see what EFT is.
2. Meditation: again, this clears up all the worries and it’s good to sit in silence, doing nothing at times. It tells you that you’re consciousness and that you’re so much bigger than your thoughts and worries.
3. Affirmations: I personally don’t find them very effective especially if you have layers of trauma and abuse and self sabotaging tendencies. I think you can definitely use affirmations in the later stages of your inner-work.
4. Identifying with the alter ego: I use this whenever i want to get creative with my inner-work.
Outro:
I know there are some people who tell you inner-work is not important and that you can just manifest it. Btw, manifestation is not magic. The 3D world has it’s own laws. Manifesting healing in itself means you’re gonna be doing things that allow you to heal. It’s really upto you, whoever you want to listen to. I would say ultimately it’s your birthright to be happy, joyful and secure, more than having and SP or any other such things. Take time to truly understand manifestation and realise it’s not magic. Any coach that says something like this, has probably not manifested anything in life lol.
When Consciousness Expands
One who rises in consciousness carries the whole world with them True elevation has never been a private ascent. A mind that opens beyond its own fears begins to sense an older responsibility; not imposed, not moralistic, but inherent. Awareness expands, and with it comes the realization that no being exists in isolation. Every shift in clarity touches the field that holds all life. A seeker…

Story from L.L Louise - Authentic Youniverse Correspondent
“Where are all the Black people?” is the question being asked by the curious who are accustomed to seeing Black Americans in the streets on the front lines fighting against injustice. Where are we? Well, I’m here to answer that question for many of us. We’re at home minding our black business. The time to protest was at the ballot box last November.
We’re tired…of everybody.
In the 2020 election of President Joe Biden, Black women were heralded as the voting block that saved the nation and just 4 years later 92% of Black women and about 80% of Black men again voted in their best interests for the obvious choice and were poised to do it again.
A day after the election; once I learned the outcome because I did not have the stomach or courage to stay up and watch the returns, I remember thinking that’s it! America is over. For me, the November 2024 election was tantamount to the Titanic hitting that iceberg leading to its eventual descent to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. We’re now just rearranging the deck chairs.
It was and remains a shocking turn of events because I truly believed Vice President Kamala Harris would win and not just because of people like me who admired and respected her but also because of Americans who believed in Democracy and understood the stakes. Call me silly but I actually thought there was a sizable and determinative block of voters who would show up not necessarily for Harris but to vote against her opponent and for America’s future.
Many Black Americans in that moment decided almost instinctively that We. Were. Done. It was time to take a step back, to rest, to relax and let others take the lead for the looming battles ahead. We’re being more intentional about looking inward to our own communities and thinking of ways to support each other personally, professionally and spiritually. We’re investing in ourselves, engaging in self care, learning new recipes and learning to line dance. We’re coming together to feed and support our people
We were correct as so many now realize. We made our feelings known with our votes so we see no need to repeat ourselves. When it's in our interests, we’re also expressing ourselves with our spending power supporting those who support us and withdrawing support from those who do not.
Embracing the Beauty of Imperfection: The Art of Inner Kintsugi
In the delicate art of Kintsugi, where broken pieces meet the radiant allure of gold, the essence of Eastern philosophy known as “Wabi-sabi” whispers of a profound truth: beauty blossoms in the perfectly imperfect cycle of life. Embracing the impermanent nature of existence, we are beckoned to honor the authenticity found in the graceful acceptance of three simple truths: nothing endures, nothing…

So we're always having these conversations in our own minds. Conversations, you are having with yourself--words that are going on in your mind, manifest...that's how you become you. If you want to change yourself, you must change the conversations in your mind about yourself. It will change the reflection you see in the mirror when you look at yourself. When you change the reflection...the world will see you differently.
