Since then, I have dedicated my time to integrating this experience and helping others identify past influences that hinder the realization of their soul's full presence. I also assist animals through telepathy.I conduct workshops on esoteric teachings gathered since my awakening, providing keys to help people find their way home.Chapters:00:00:00 - Awakening to a Higher State of Consciousness00:03:50 - Past Lives and Spiritual Awakening00:08:29 - The Soul's Incarnation and Past Lives00:12:32 - Telepathic Ability Overwhelm00:16:24 - Unveiling Illusions and Past Lives00:19:47 - Healing Karmic Patterns in Past Lives00:22:46 - Distinguishing Between Fantasy and Reality00:26:36 - Embracing Working Hypotheses and Evidence-Based Beliefs00:31:06 - Perceptions and Beginner's Mind00:35:20 - The Three Timelines of Atlantis00:38:59 - Connecting with Past Lives and Subtle Energy Systems00:43:12 - Telepathy and Intuition00:46:52 - Identifying with Cosmic Flow and the Unrealistic Separation of Waves00:50:48 - Telepathic Connection with Psychic Dogs00:51:00 - Communication with Animals and Telepathy00:54:06 - Telepathy in Communication00:57:47 - Healing from Past Trauma Through Consciousness01:00:37 - The Importance of Incarnation01:04:40 - The Importance of Opening Up to Cosmos01:07:51 - Understanding Negative Feelings and Consciousness01:10:53 - Rising Above Dark Destinies01:13:41 - Deep Dive for Enlightenment01:17:00 - The Cycle of Enlightenment and Oppression01:20:27 - Soul Group Incarnation Theory01:25:07 - Exploring Past Lives and Karmic Patterns01:28:01 - The Pain of Compassion and Conscious Eating01:31:32 - Cultural Perspectives on Meat Consumption01:35:52 - The Responsibility to Help Others01:40:26 - Creating a Healing Community01:44:33 - Emotional Investment in Students01:49:10 - Resisting the Temptation of Fame and Following a Higher Calling01:53:30 - Bonds of Affinity with New Friends
