Way of the Conscious Creator

Today Ashr and Moonshine continue their reading and insightful discussion around the concept of fearful love. Here is a sample from todays discussion: "Fear is never the problem. Lack of spiritual connection is always the problem. Fear is nothing more than an emotional indicator letting us know that we are no longer living in alignment with our spiritual nature. Whenever fear cuts us off from spiritual wellbeing, we diminish our awareness of what is truly possible. We need the power of spiritual abundance to create beyond the mold of our conditioning" #recoverypodcast #spiritualpodcast #newspiritualpractice #meditativepractice #meditation #alcoholicsanonymous #12steps #narcoticosanonimos #sobriety #sobrietyvsrecovery #overcomingfear #overcominglimitingbeliefs #selfdefeatingbeliefs #spiritualbillionaire #alignmentdiscussions #collectiveconsciousness #consciouspodcast #addictionpodcast #healingtrauma #recovery #consciouscreators #creativecollectivealliance #addictsinrecovery #artistsinrecovery #wayoftheconsciouscreator #loveandtruth #consciousness #spiritualsurfing #spiritualabundance #mantrasforrecovery --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

Today Ashr and Moonshine continue to read and share dialogue on the first measure of this process which states "We recognize survival patterns that undermine our purpose". These "survival" patterns keep us in fear and braced up against the newness and possibility. When we live our lives immersed in our survival patterns, we unconsciously squander our creative energy trying to control rather than love. Lets take a closer look: "Creation can be expressed either consciously or unconsciously. When we are aware of the motivation behind our thoughts and actions, we are conscious. When we are unaware of what is motivating our thoughts and actions, we are unconscious. There are two primary motivations influencing and directing every thought and action. Those motivations are love and fear. We can either love our moments or fear them. It is important to recognize the primary motivation behind our actions. As an example, Edward and Lance have each decided to open their own drug treatment center. Edward is motivated to create a treatment program that mitigates his client's past traumas and helps them break free from destructive cycles of violence and addiction. Lance wants to open a treatment center that can maximize profit potential so he and his wife can maintain their current standard of living. Lance believes his wife would leave him, otherwise. Edward is motivated by love to develop something that will make a difference in the lives of others. Lance is motivated by fear to make as much money as possible. Imagine how different these two treatment centers would feel to their respective clients?" Tune in next time as we learn about fearful love. "Small children have yet to learn about a painful love that ends in disappointment. They still have their own internal connection to a spiritual love that allows them to express themselves more freely. They are still aligned with their spiritual nature. The love that fearful, spiritually unaligned adults share is conditioned. As children begin to interact with these conditional expressions of love, they too begin to fear love" --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

Today Ashr begins to guide Moonshine through the Way of the Conscious Creator process. They get into in depth discussion while reading through the opening section and technical information in the 1st Measure of the process. Here is a sample reading from today: "It seems to me that we have got ourselves all strung out on fear just so money can be made off its remedy. The fear that we experience isn't real, yet we ingest countless substances to try to block it out. It's not right. The only remedy to this world of fear driven illusions is another feeling all together. Much like fear, this is a feeling that we can only give to ourselves. The best feeling in the world is also free. I can give myself this gift or continue to buy its pathetic substitution that only weighs me down with each short-lived flight of fancy" --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

Steven has been engaging the possibility mantras for almost two weeks now. He shares some valuable insights on his personal journey and how important it is to customize the practice while also maintaining the integrity or essence of each mantra. Steven's passion for writing and background in various healing modalities offer up helpful examples of how to achieve this delicate balance. We then delve into deeper conversation about our own experiences in active addiction and how those experience helped us to move beyond early childhood programming.

Today Ken begins his first round of Alignment Mantras after completing his Possibility Mantra cycles. We spend the first half of our podcast getting current. Ken shares about his recent experiences and how the practice is helping him respond in a more life affirming way. Ashr then familiarizes Ken with the Alignment Mantra practice including hand mudras, breathing techniques and cadence. Ashr then walks Ken through Alignment Mantra #5 which we have listed below. ___________________________________________________ ALIGNMENT MANTRA #5 · I just love to be // an authentic and effective communicator · I choose to continue being // an authentic and effective communicator · I am continuing to be // an authentic and effective communicator PRAYER/GRATITUDE MANTRA · Spiritual consciousness of love and truth // I pray to you today.

Today Steven and Ashr continue to read the through the possibility mantra section as they deepen their dialogue and understanding. Steven shares his initial insights on the practice. We discuss options for customizing the mantras to reflect his unique individual essence. He also shares his initial internal response to the mantras. We conclude this podcast by reading through more edited material from our upcoming handbook. Here is a sample reading from todays discussion: "Afterall, we were given these bodies for a reason. We are spiritual beings who have been given the opportunity to share in a human experience. We get the opportunity to express spiritual love in a physical body. Why would we want to turn away from our spiritual nature and brace up against this shared experience? Many of us have become so engrossed in our physical form that we have forgotten our purpose. For those who have forgotten their spiritual purpose, these mantras will help you remember. This spiritual practice will help you to liberate your authentic self from the deadly progression of unconscious creation. You are the only power on earth that can beat this progressive and deadly condition. Nothing external can liberate you from the clutches of the killer within. There is no pill, doctor or guru that can save you from yourself. This is an inside job. Working with your spiritual nature is the only path to liberation" --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

Today Steven began his journey through the Mantras for Recovery process. We will have a series of podcasts with Steven as he engages this spiritual practice. Here is a sample reading from today: WHAT IS A MANTRA? Repetition of a mantra can be used to evoke higher states of consciousness, to harness the power of intentions, to manifest positive affirmations and to enter deeper states of awareness. When chanted with faith, mantras create powerful vibrations within the body and mind, enabling deep states of meditation. The act of chanting mantras also has physical effects on the endocrine system and the parasympathetic nervous system. Chanting mantras and focusing on the breathing patterns helps to bring your mind into the present moment. Meditative mental states can be used to connect to spiritual power, and mantras are an effective way to maintain that spiritual connection. Each mantra contained within this spiritual practice has a distinct meaning, unique vibrational frequency, and distinctive healing effects. When chanting the mantras contained within this process, you will vibrate within the frequency of the mantra. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

Today Ashr was joined by Steven and Ken who both shared their recent experiences of losing a loved one. What are normal healthy reactions in these situations? How do we get into acceptance, begin to heal and move forward? How can our spiritual practice help to maintain a baseline of spiritual wellbeing as we move through trauma and loss. Thank you to Ken and Steven for their honesty and openness today! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

Conversations in Consciousness // Accessing Spiritual Power through our Mantra Practice with Dan & Ashr: Today Dan joined Ashr to engage in frank discussion about the power of prayer and the need to live in alignment with our concept of a higher power. We acknowledged how helpful the 12 step process has been for us both. We also acknowledged how a strong spiritual practice such as this Way of the Conscious Creator could help to deepen our spiritual connection and expand our creative power.

Today Ken and Ashr spend the first section going though the sixth measure reading on Conscious Awareness and Frequency of Vibration.  Here is a sample reading from today's podcast: As we learn to attune our internal landscape to the deeper and eternal realm of spirit, a new vibrational quality begins to emerge. This spiritually aligned frequency of vibration acts like a key that can unlock doors that we didn't even know existed.  Next we get into conversation about various rituals of self soothing and how those rituals can activate dangerous and destructive habit patterns of active addiction. We get into the role dissociation plays in our patterns of addiction and how we often use drugs and alcohol to further dissociate from aspects of our life that we are unwilling to change or accept. #recoverypodcast #spiritualpodcast #newspiritualpractice #meditativepractice #meditation #alcoholicsanonymous #12steps #narcoticosanonimos #sobriety #sobrietyvsrecovery #overcomingfear #overcominglimitingbeliefs #selfdefeatingbeliefs #spiritualbillionaire #alignmentdiscussions #collectiveconsciousness #consciouspodcast #addictionpodcast #healingtrauma #recovery #consciouscreators #creativecollectivealliance #addictsinrecovery #artistsinrecovery #wayoftheconsciouscreator #loveandtruth #consciousness #spiritualsurfing #spiritualabundance #bookofmantras --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

Alignment Discussions // Desire Transference and Spiritual Discernment. Today Ashr continues his spiritual communion with the later measures of this practice. We learn what it means to overcome intellectual resistance in order to have a direct spiritual experience. We lean about the various encumbrances that keep us from living in spiritual alignment. We learn the psychic toll they take on our basic personality. We lean about discernment and its role in helping us distinguish the difference between a mental projection and spiritual insight. Finally, we understand the synergistic role of the 8th and 9th measure, specifically, desire transference. How do we exchange specific desires to stop specific behaviors into desires to bring new possibilities to fruition? Thank you for listening --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

Today Ken and Ashr talk about the trauma avatar. What is a trauma avatar? How do we become triggered into our trauma avatar? Here is a section from todays reading: Visualize your trauma avatar as a mask you formed in response to previous experiences. It's like a character or a persona that helps you interface with fear and cope with the absence of spiritual love. You have manifested your own avatar to relate to this world that previous unconscious creators have left behind. Your trauma avatar has its own ideas, stories, and beliefs. It has its own identity as well as its own way of seeing the world. Your trauma avatar is always in need. It needs something else, something more or something different. Needs of the trauma avatar are never satisfied. Your trauma avatar is addicted to making you believe that you are evolving. However, it is only your avatar's need for distraction that has evolved. For you to truly evolve you must become conscious of your thoughts and subsequent actions. You cannot grow spiritually if you continue to judge others while exonerating yourself. We then spend some time going through possibility mantra 5, 8 and 15 which Ken has found to be particularly helpful in navigating some intense family situations that have been coming up.

Today Ashr takes us through the personal narrative checklist from the 7th measure of our process which states that we commit to act upon the insights of a conscious and creative mind. Here is a sample of the material: "We often resist creating experiences beyond the comfort of our personal narrative. Instead, we trudge the well-worn mental pathway of the predictable and familiar. We have invested time and energy constructing our personal narrative and we pattern our reality and relationships in accordance with it. This means that we often resist and reject possibilities that challenge our narrative. Therefore, question two exists. Suppose you experience strong internal resistance upon receiving an invitation to a gathering. Is this logical? When you react in this way, you have been triggered into fear. This fearful vibration activates your instincts for survival. Making a reactive choice in this mental state brings you out of spiritual alignment. You cannot live in spiritual love and truth while indulging in fearful, reactive resistance. Unless there is an observable danger or threat present, this reaction is irrational" Next, he walks us through Alignment Mantra # 19 on recognizing and embracing opportunities for growth and expansion. #recoverypodcast #spiritualpodcast #newspiritualpractice #meditativepractice #meditation #alcoholicsanonymous #12steps #narcoticosanonimos #sobriety #sobrietyvsrecovery #overcomingfear #overcominglimitingbeliefs #selfdefeatingbeliefs #spiritualbillionaire #alignmentdiscussions #collectiveconsciousness #consciouspodcast #addictionpodcast #healingtrauma #recovery #consciouscreators #creativecollectivealliance #addictsinrecovery #artistsinrecovery #wayoftheconsciouscreator #loveandtruth #consciousness #spiritualsurfing #spiritualabundance #bookofmantras --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

Today Ashr invites spiritual consciousness to help him gain much needed wisdom and perspective on the 8th measure of our process. What does creating space for new life-affirming experiences look like? What is the difference between new life-affirming experiences and familiar self-defeating experiences? How do we create space for these new desired experiences? How does conscious awareness and vibrational integrity hold the key to inner wholeness and joy found thru spiritual alignment? Why is it important sustain spiritual alignment as we move through this 8th measure? All of these questions are answered powerfully with the help of Ashr's true soul mate, his spiritual consciousness. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

Today Ashr speaks about allowing the connection we share with our spiritual nature to gently replace the attachment we have to our unconscious identity. He breaks down the aspects of identity and the role instinctual fear plays in keeping us in instinctual survival mode. Here is a sample reading from todays transmission: "These undermining habit patterns keep us addicted. They render us unable to receive love from others. They keep us in cycles of undue frustration and suffering. Most importantly, they keep us living inauthentically. In a very literal sense, we have been denying our true nature. Our authentic nature cannot be expressed through our habit patterns built from the fear of previous traumas. Can you see this? It's important to recognize how this works. We become possessed by these habit patterns. They deny us access to the spiritual power that is our birthright. Recognizing this fact helps us to step out of denial. When we recognize these patterns, we begin to accept the reality of our situation. As we accept the truth back inside our mind, we liberate ourselves from the powerfully destructive force of denial. We have had to deny the truth in order to live our lie. By recognizing this lie, we enable ourselves to create an authentic living experience aligned with our spiritual nature. These habit patterns were born from decisions you made a long time ago. Most likely, you were a child who was still developing at the time. Your ill-formed decisions shaped these habit patterns. At that time, these habit patterns were the best you could do. But that was long ago. Circumstances are different now. You are different. It's time to get current" --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

Today Ken and Ashr discuss the necessity of activating our spiritual nature through deliberate and inspired action. Ashr draws upon his own experience to describe the natural flow of the process. Todays conversation illustrates the necessity of engaging this practice from a place of accurate self appraisal and spiritual recognition. Through this conversation ken is able to understand his current place in the process better. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

Today Ashr does a deep dive into the science behind our spiritual practice. We make the distinction between self-awareness and conscious awareness. We understand more about the power of spoken words and their ability to liberate our authentic self and spiritual nature from 5 sensory prison of instinctual fear. This transmission is so helpful for those who are in fearful bondage and seeking a spiritual remedy.

Today Ashr walks you through his habit pattern inventory on needing external validation from others. He describes what his life looks like when he indulges in this particular pattern. He discusses which of his self-defeating beliefs are validated and how his active, yet unknowing investment in those beliefs causes him to neglect fundamental needs. Here is a sample reading: "When I indulge in the habit pattern of needing external validation… I compare my insides to other people's outsides. I allow people's success to make me feel inadequate. I refuse to try anything new unless I know I can succeed. Thus, I stay stuck. I seek attention on social media to compensate for my lack of creative completion. I over explain myself when I make mistakes. I make decisions based on what society deems acceptable rather than what I value. I doubt myself when people disapprove of me or treat me unkind. I become uncomfortable with voicing my true opinion. This habit pattern validates the following core beliefs: I am unworthy because I rely on the approval of others to gain my sense of self-worth. This causes me to abandon my truth and become a chameleon with no sense of autonomy. I am incapable because I don't dare go outside social norms or risk rejection. I am unlovable because I only allow people to see a façade because I deem the real me to be unworthy" Thank you for listening!!! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

How does adhering to a man-made moral conscience create challenges for creators striving to live in spiritual alignment? What are the fundamental principles of being and how do they differ from the spiritual principles contained within many religions? How does living in spiritual alignment allow us to be attuned to the principles of being? How does inner wholeness and joy act as a barometer of our state of spiritual wellbeing?

Today we learn more about the origins of this spiritual practice and learn how spiritual consciousness responds to our genuine desires to change and grow. Ashr then breaks down each of the possibility mantras, elaborating on them all.   Here is a quote from todays reading:  "My true liberation began as I dared to consider new possibilities. I began this phase of the process when I was 45 years old. What I suspected to be depression, or the onset mental illness was my mind becoming certain of its own ideas. I had grown rigid and cynical. I had become resentful at an ugly truth that had insidiously infiltrated my mind. This truth was not a natural law or inescapable fate, oh no. This so-called truth resulted from my predictions based upon four decades of dysfunctional thinking. Over the years, I had created disappointment after disappointment. I had sabotaged many opportunities. I had convinced myself that there was nothing in store for me but more heartache and letdown. There were no new possibilities on the horizon. My own mind had become a cynical tyrant of intolerance. What I had only suspected, at one time, to be the truth, had grown into an outright certainty. I now knew that I was capable of certain things and incapable of other things. These self-imposed limitations applied to the world as well. I attributed meaning to people, places, and things. There is no way for new experiences to be created for anyone living in such absolute certainties" #recoverypodcast #spiritualpodcast #newspiritualpractice #meditativepractice #meditation #alcoholicsanonymous #12steps #narcoticosanonimos #sobriety #sobrietyvsrecovery #overcomingfear #overcominglimitingbeliefs #selfdefeatingbeliefs #spiritualbillionaire #alignmentdiscussions #collectiveconsciousness #consciouspodcast #addictionpodcast #healingtrauma #recovery #consciouscreators #creativecollectivealliance #addictsinrecovery #artistsinrecovery #wayoftheconsciouscreator #loveandtruth #consciousness #spiritualsurfing #spiritualabundance #bookofmantras  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

Here is a sample reading from todays conversation: "This is a critical period in which action must be taken, or catastrophic consequences will ensue. In these moments of mental obsession, emotional discomfort, and spiritual blackout, we need to bring ourselves back into alignment. We must plug ourselves back into our spiritual outlet. Otherwise, a physical compulsion will compel us to reach out for our mechanism of choice much like a child reaches for a blanket during a thunderstorm. This is when we get high or drunk. We head off to the casino. We go back with an abusive ex-partner. We alienate ourselves from human contact. We fall back into predictable patterns of active attachment addiction. We remain attached to our rituals of self-soothing until something intervenes. Those who are not so fortunate often pay the ultimate price with their life. Subduing the physical compulsion, only affords us a temporary reprieve. Without addressing the mental thought patterns that triggered us into our relapse, we are a time bomb that ticks away. It is only a matter of time until something else, something desired, yet insanely threatening, triggers the cycle again" #recoverypodcast #spiritualpodcast #newspiritualpractice #meditativepractice #meditation #alcoholicsanonymous #12steps #narcoticosanonimos #sobriety #sobrietyvsrecovery #overcomingfear #overcominglimitingbeliefs #selfdefeatingbeliefs #spiritualbillionaire #alignmentdiscussions #collectiveconsciousness #consciouspodcast #addictionpodcast #healingtrauma #recovery #consciouscreators #creativecollectivealliance #addictsinrecovery #artistsinrecovery #wayoftheconsciouscreator #loveandtruth #consciousness #spiritualsurfing #spiritualabundance #bookofmantras #possibility #alignment #fulfillment #cultivatingdesire --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

Today Ken and Ashr begin reading through The Book of Mantras from the Creative Collective Alliance. This concise manual outlines the possibility, alignment and fulfillment mantras from the Way of the Conscious Creator practice. Today we read the section on cultivating healthy desires and learned more about the 4th, 5th and 6th possibility mantras. Possibility mantra 4 helps us to cultivate realistic expectations of ourselves and others. Possibility mantra 5 helps us to become authentic and effective communicators. Possibility mantra 6 helps us to become personally responsible for ourselves and our commitments. Here is a sample reading from todays transmission: "The absence of a conscious connection to our spiritual nature creates uncertainty. This uncertainty causes us to brace up, much like thunder compels a child to clutch their blanket. These are the moments that love's true nature begins to elude us. We become unwilling to lean into the unknown. A life once brimming with magical possibility degrades into something fearful, something to be avoided at all costs. Innocence and wonder give way to cynicism and distrust. We cease to be curious about future possibilities. Instead, we began to predict, even expect, painful, tragic outcomes" #recoverypodcast #spiritualpodcast #newspiritualpractice #meditativepractice #meditation #alcoholicsanonymous #12steps #narcoticosanonimos #sobriety #sobrietyvsrecovery #overcomingfear #overcominglimitingbeliefs #selfdefeatingbeliefs #spiritualbillionaire #alignmentdiscussions #collectiveconsciousness #consciouspodcast #addictionpodcast #healingtrauma #recovery #consciouscreators #creativecollectivealliance #addictsinrecovery #artistsinrecovery #wayoftheconsciouscreator #loveandtruth #consciousness #spiritualsurfing #spiritualabundance #bookofmantras #possibility #alignment #fulfillment #cultivatingdesire --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

Today Ashr reads from the Building New Habit Patterns section in the 3rd Measure which states "We accept the possibility of new life-affirming experiences. Here is a sample from reading: "Engaging a daily mantra practice demonstrates willingness and determination to the spiritual universe. Through this energetic offering you summon the spiritual power to reorganize your external reality. This external reality evolves to the extent that you evolve your internal reality. As your thought life evolves, so too will the external reality you create and share with others. You are not wishing upon a star, nor waiting passively for a mysterious power to rescue you. You are meeting this spiritual power halfway. In taking an active role, you eliminate worry and doubt from the equation. You do your part. Spiritual love and truth will do the rest. As your mind becomes more spiritually aligned, you will create and attract opportunities for growth and expansion. You will also be able to recognize opportunities in the moment. Presently, your fearful and reactive mind compels you to resist, block or reject such opportunities. As you proceed with the possibility, alignment, and fulfillment mantras, you will continue to activate your spiritual nature. As this occurs, you will create and attract opportunities that reflect your evolving mental state. It works. We speak from experience. This requires that you be consistent" --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

Join us today as we relate life patterns to the 1st measure of our process. Ken and Ashr kick off todays podcast by reading the unconscious creator section of the 1st measure which states "we recognize habit patterns that undermine our purpose". This important reading illuminates common survival patterns that we carry with us from childhood. We begin to recognize how these patterns keep us from living in alignment with our spiritual nature. These patterns keep us in fear and possessed by our trauma avatar. We neglect our fundamental needs for love, intimacy and creative expression as a result. #recoverypodcast #spiritualpodcast #newspiritualpractice #meditativepractice #meditation #alcoholicsanonymous #12steps #narcoticosanonimos #sobriety #sobrietyvsrecovery #overcomingfear #overcominglimitingbeliefs #selfdefeatingbeliefs #spiritualbillionaire #alignmentdiscussions #collectiveconsciousness #consciouspodcast #addictionpodcast #healingtrauma #recovery #consciouscreators #creativecollectivealliance #addictsinrecovery #artistsinrecovery #wayoftheconsciouscreator #loveandtruth #consciousness #spiritualsurfing #spiritualabundance --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

Today I spent the first 30 minutes editing the 7th measure of our process. Then Ivan walked in and we had an amazing conversation about life situations that ww address in the 8th measure which states "we create space for new experiences by releasing what no longer serves us" He gets real and honest about a long term relationship he is having with someone who is struggling with an opioid addiction. It's a very frank and authentic talk. If you want to skid to the conversation please jump ahead to approximately 30 minutes.

Today we do an audiobook podcast on material from the upcoming Conscious Creators spiritual textbook. You get a first glimpse at selected sections, riding along with Ashr as he expands upon the material in live time. Here is a passage from the reading: "The whispering voice within let me know that it would be a good idea for her to get back to normal prior to eating anything. I said, “I think you want to eat food whenever Emmy makes you upset”. I asked her if she could see what I was talking about. Amazingly, she said, “Yeah, I think you're right”. I suggested giving it 10 minutes until she felt more normal. “Maybe we can try to get you out of the habit of reaching for food when you're upset with Emmy”. She begrudgingly obliged and headed off to her bedroom. A few minutes later, I walked in and saw that a bedside table drawer was open. Dylan was holding a brown envelope with a rubber band around it. She pulled out a paper containing lyrics to a song she created prior to the pandemic. She held it in her hand and looked at it for a minute, seeming to question whether she had written it or not. Prior to the lockdown Didi was taking piano and singing lessons. She was doing a fair amount of songwriting. She was excited and loved her teacher. But this was a year later" #recoverypodcast #spiritualpodcast #newspiritualpractice #meditativepractice #meditation #alcoholicsanonymous #12steps #narcoticosanonimos #sobriety #sobrietyvsrecovery #overcomingfear #overcominglimitingbeliefs #selfdefeatingbeliefs #spiritualbillionaire #alignmentdiscussions #collectiveconsciousness #consciouspodcast #addictionpodcast #healingtrauma #recovery #consciouscreators #creativecollectivealliance #addictsinrecovery #artistsinrecovery #wayoftheconsciouscreator #loveandtruth #consciousness #spiritualsurfing #spiritualabundance --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

here are the first 6 possibility mantras from the Way of the Conscious Creator --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

Sample from todays reading: "I went back to Didi and crouched down on one knee on the floor in front of her. She looked at me and then down at the paper and then back at me again. Sadness came over her face and she slumped. I asked her what was wrong. She said, “I can't do it Papa. My brain is telling me I'm no good”. Almost immediately, tears welled up in my eyes. I was completely overcome with emotion. It was as if years of being ignored, belittled, unseen, and castoff all came up at once. She could see how emotional I was getting and asked me what was wrong. I looked up at her and said that it broke my heart that her brain was being mean to her. I went on to tell her that my brain told me lies like that too. I told her that I had people say mean things to me and I believed them, and that I thought her voice was amazing and it made me so sad to see her believe the lies her brain was telling. She looked up, smiled, and immediately began to sing. She sang it tenderly and beautifully. I welled up with emotion again. I was able to recognize the moment for what it was. She was able to accept the possibility that her brain was telling her something that might not have been true. I was able to relate my experience to her in a way that she could relate to and see that we share a common wound" --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

God Shot Recovery Podcast: The 3rd Measure in the Way of the Conscious Creator process (Part 2) "Bringing your mind into a neutral state helps to become more open to opportunities for growth and expansion. Presently, your negatively charged mind may compel you to irrationally resist, block or reject such opportunities. As you proceed with this practice, the possibility, alignment, and fulfillment mantras will help you continue to elevate your mental vibration. As your mental vibration gradually increases, you will begin to create and attract opportunities reflective of your improving state of mind. It works. We speak from experience. This requires that you be consistent" --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

Today we read through part 3 of the unconscious creator section, making small editing changes and expanding upon the material to help make it more relatable. This now becomes the focus. Each week we will read a new section and add the expanded podcast conversations to the material. Here is a sample reading from todays discussion: "These habit patterns were born from decisions that you made a long time ago. Most likely, you were probably a half-formed child at the time. Your ill-formed decisions formed these limiting patterns. At the time, these patterns were the best you could come up. That was a long time ago. Circumstances are different now. You are different. This needs to be recognized. It's time to get current. It's time to get real. Otherwise, you will continue to live in instinctual fear, disconnected from spiritual consciousness. This absence of spiritual power will make it nearly impossible to recognize nor create opportunities for growth and expansion. These undermining habit patterns keep us addicted. They render us unable to receive love from others. They keep us in cycles undue frustration and suffering. Most importantly, they keep us living inauthentically. In a very literal sense, we have been denying our true nature. Our authentic nature cannot be expressed through these habit patterns built from the fear of previous traumas. Can you see this? It's important to recognize what's been done. We are possessed by these habit patterns. They deny us access to a spiritual power that is our birthright. Recognizing this fact helps us to step out of denial. When we recognize these patterns, we begin to accept the reality of our situation. We admit the truth. We admit the truth back inside our heart and inside our mind. We have had to deny the truth to live our inauthentic lie. When we recognize this lie, we can start to create authentic living experiences aligned with our purpose" --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

The 3rd measure in the Way of the Conscious Creator asks us to accept the possibility of new life-affirming experiences:  Here is a sample reading:  "Through practicing your meditative mantras, you can connect to spiritual love and truth. In time, you can grow to rely on spiritual insights to help you create new life-affirming experiences. The meditation and breathing part of this practice is a tool that helps you to intuitively connect. While reciting the mantras helps you to elevate your vibration, making the unconscious, conscious. This is important. For many, especially middle aged and older folks, these mantras are a matter of life and death. We need a new perspective to continue co-creating with spiritual love and truth. Our minds must be open and receptive to do so. Older minds tend to be anything but open and receptive. They are usually quite cynical and fearful. So long as your mind remain in this state, there can be no connection to the power of spiritual love and truth. This lack of power keeps us in our established, fear driven survival patterns. This causes every ailment known to man. The medical community calls it the effects of stress. They say stress is bad for you. They don't say that lack of connection kills. Well, we are here to let you know that lack of connection, both, to each other and to spiritual love and truth, kills. Our spiritual practice helps you to liberate your authentic higher self from the deadly progression of unconscious creation. You are the only power on earth that can beat this progressive and deadly condition."  From Ken: breaking down the 3rd measure in order to give my mind permission to accept it as a possibility.  #recoverypodcast #godshot #godshotpodcast #alcoholicsanonymous #12steps #narcoticosanonimos #sobriety #sobrietyvsrecovery #overcomingfear #fearinventory #4thstep #selfdefeatingbeliefs#spiritualbillionaire #alignmentdiscussions #collectiveconsciousness #recoverypodcast #recovery #consciouscreators #creativecollectivealliance #addictsinrecovery #artistsinrecovery #wayoftheconsciouscreator #loveandtruth #consciousness #spiritualsurfing #spiritualabundance --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

New Alignment Discussion Podcast: The Unconscious Creator (Audiobook presentation of final draft material (part 2)- Traumas Role W/Brad. Today we read through final draft material on trauma's role in our upcoming book. I encourage all friends and family to listen and give me your heart felt feedback. Please feel free to let me know which parts were powerful and effective and which were confusing or unclear. Please also feel free to offer any insights or personal experience examples to make this material more useful and empowering to others. The process outlined in the Conscious Creators book is written by Creative Collective Alliance. I may be its Shepard but it is not one mans personal opinion, it is a genuine collective viewpoint. Here is a sample reading: "Hardened criminals currently sitting behind bars have absorbed some of the worst traumas known to man. Homeless people who wander the streets uttering their fragmented thoughts have been equally affected. The bankers on Wall Street, driven to acquire at the expense of a nation, are also trauma survivors. None should be judged. They are all effects of a cause that we share the collective burden of addressing. If the same time and energy were invested into healing our trauma affliction at its internal cause rather than external effect, we would then be able to thrive at epidemic proportions. If the resources that are currently invested into the war on whatever were redirected into helping a child in their moment of trauma, there would be no place for addiction, jail, or suicide" Message from Brad: This was my first meeting. I didn't know what to expect, but it was very helpful, like an extended Al-anon outreach call. I look forward to further involvement with the Conscious Creator program. #recoverypodcast #godshot #godshotpodcast #alcoholicsanonymous #12steps #narcoticosanonimos #sobriety #sobrietyvsrecovery #overcomingfear #fearinventory #4thstep #selfdefeatingbeliefs#spiritualbillionaire #alignmentdiscussions #collectiveconsciousness #recoverypodcast #recovery #consciouscreators #creativecollectivealliance #addictsinrecovery #artistsinrecovery #wayoftheconsciouscreator #loveandtruth #consciousness #spiritualsurfing #spiritualabundance --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

New God Shot Recovery Podcast: How do the emotions associated with resentment shut us off from spiritual love and truth?  "It is plain that a life which includes deep resentment leads only to futility and unhappiness. To the precise extent that we permit these, do we squander the hours that might have been worthwhile. But with the alcoholic, whose hope is the maintenance and growth of a spiritual experience, this business of resentment is infinitely grave. We found that it is fatal. For when harboring such feelings we shut ourselves off from the sunlight of the spirit. The insanity of alcohol returns and we drink again. And with us, to drink is to die" #recoverypodcast #godshot #godshotpodcast #alcoholicsanonymous #12steps #narcoticosanonimos #sobriety #sobrietyvsrecovery #overcomingfear #fearinventory #4thstep #selfdefeatingbeliefs#spiritualbillionaire #alignmentdiscussions #collectiveconsciousness #recoverypodcast #recovery #consciouscreators #creativecollectivealliance #addictsinrecovery #artistsinrecovery #wayoftheconsciouscreator #loveandtruth #consciousness #spiritualsurfing #spiritualabundance --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

Here is a sample reading: "We began to recognize that we were only willing to participate in certain types of relationships. We saw that our habitual patterns of thought attracted specific types of relationship partners. We attracted partners who seemed to validate our core ideas about love and intimacy. We learned that we had adopted concepts of love that held little in common with the love we yearned to experience. We went out of our way to create partnerships and experiences that would reflect our idea of love. We supported these limiting concepts at the expense of authentic connection. This left us feeling defeated." #recoverypodcast #godshot #godshotpodcast #alcoholicsanonymous #12steps #narcoticosanonimos #sobriety #sobrietyvsrecovery #overcomingfear #fearinventory #4thstep #selfdefeatingbeliefs#spiritualbillionaire #alignmentdiscussions #collectiveconsciousness #recoverypodcast #recovery #consciouscreators #creativecollectivealliance #addictsinrecovery #artistsinrecovery #wayoftheconsciouscreator #loveandtruth #consciousness #spiritualsurfing #spiritualabundance --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

Engaging the Way of the Conscious Creator is like learning a new language, yet a language that exists dormant within us all. We all have our own understanding of spiritual truth and no person's perspective is absolute. #recoverypodcast #godshot #godshotpodcast #alcoholicsanonymous #12steps #narcoticosanonimos #sobriety #sobrietyvsrecovery #overcomingfear #fearinventory #4thstep #selfdefeatingbeliefs#spiritualbillionaire #alignmentdiscussions #collectiveconsciousness #recoverypodcast #recovery #consciouscreators #creativecollectivealliance #addictsinrecovery #artistsinrecovery #wayoftheconsciouscreator #loveandtruth #consciousness #spiritualsurfing #spiritualabundance --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

This is our first discussion on the process in its final form. If you have yet to listen, I highly recommend that you start here. It will answer many of your questions. and illustrate precisely how this process can help you. Today we explore how fear keeps us in a reactive state of mind, inauthentically experiencing life through the distorted perspective of our trauma avatar. We learned that when we become possessed by our avatar, we cut ourselves off from spiritual abundance. We explore the 21 habit patterns of survival. Then, we introduce new life-affirming patterns that help us liberate our authentic higher selves from the trauma avatar. and reconnect to spiritual abundance. #recoverypodcast #godshot #godshotpodcast #alcoholicsanonymous #12steps #narcoticosanonimos #sobriety #sobrietyvsrecovery #overcomingfear #fearinventory #4thstep #selfdefeatingbeliefs#spiritualbillionaire #alignmentdiscussions #collectiveconsciousness #recoverypodcast #recovery #consciouscreators #creativecollectivealliance #addictsinrecovery #artistsinrecovery #wayoftheconsciouscreator #loveandtruth #consciousness #spiritualsurfing --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

Today we created the second installment of our Question & Answer series with Tim O. We spoke candidly about previous experiences that contributed to us living in our trauma avatar. We worked the first three measures of the process to begin overcoming a pattern of inauthenticity and passive aggressiveness. We realize this desired aim by concentrating upon becoming an authentic and effective communicator. #recoverypodcast #godshot #godshotpodcast #alcoholicsanonymous #12steps #narcoticosanonimos #sobriety #sobrietyvsrecovery #overcomingfear #fearinventory #4thstep #selfdefeatingbeliefs#spiritualbillionaire #alignmentdiscussions #collectiveconsciousness #recoverypodcast #recovery #consciouscreators #creativecollectivealliance #addictsinrecovery #artistsinrecovery #wayoftheconsciouscreator #loveandtruth #consciousness #spiritualsurfing --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

What is the dual nature of the human mind? How do we intervene upon our undermining habit patterns? What is a trauma avatar? What is attachment addiction? How does elevating our vibration liberate our authentic higher self from instinctual fear? #recoverypodcast #godshot #godshotpodcast #alcoholicsanonymous #12steps #narcoticosanonimos #sobriety #sobrietyvsrecovery #overcomingfear #fearinventory #4thstep #selfdefeatingbeliefs#spiritualbillionaire #alignmentdiscussions #collectiveconsciousness #recoverypodcast #recovery #consciouscreators #creativecollectivealliance #addictsinrecovery #artistsinrecovery #wayoftheconsciouscreator #loveandtruth #consciousness #spiritualsurfing --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

Our fearful idea of love holds little resemblance to love's true nature.  It makes us begin to fear love which closes us off to the riches of the human experience. #recoverypodcast #godshot #godshotpodcast #alcoholicsanonymous #12steps #narcoticosanonimos #sobriety #sobrietyvsrecovery #overcomingfear #fearinventory #4thstep #selfdefeatingbeliefs --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message

Our instincts for survival do not serve us in the same capacity that they once did. The lack of real demand for our instincts protection has caused us to manifest an avatar of instinct. Our avatar imagines threats and dangers to in order for us to remain in fear. Fear keep our instincts active and and in control. Those of us who come from a background of trauma and neglect are possessed by a trauma avatar that keeps us engaged in a self-defeating game within our physical reality. Our practice helps us to liberate our authentic higher self from our trauma avatar by raising our mental vibration above instinctual fear. We must liberate ourselves from the fearful and limiting ideas of our avatar in order to love as we were intended. Our Way of the Conscious Creator process helps us to do just that. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciouscreators/message
