27. Discovering Your True Purpose

We get to discover our true purpose in life by tapping into our burning desire. It’s a process of awareness that starts by recognizing that we are so much more than our self-limiting beliefs. People have to unlearn who they thought they were, in order to become who they really are.

Raising consciousness in this way is empowering. Because it develops the capacity to rise above circumstance. According to Janine Brolly: “Just because something is real, it doesn’t need to be your truth”. People can choose to become more embodied, abundant, whole, and connected – in the quantum world this is the truth of who we are.

Cancer may result from repressed emotions and resentment – and by extension, breast cancer may reflect strained relationships with your kids.

25. Are There Multiple Realities

Mike Anthony’s extraordinary life experiences provide compelling evidence of other realities. But for some reason, our brains have typically not been given access to it.

There is no doubt that there’s more to us than our physical bodies because scientific research demonstrates human consciousness lives on after we die.

24. The Ten Terrains of Consciousness

There are ten terrains of consciousness, and each one is like a different underlying operating system. It shapes the way you see the world, your beliefs and behaviors, the people and activities you’re drawn to, the kind of career you’re pursuing, your relationship to money, your approach to health and to spirituality… and much more.

Tahnee Woolf and Allen David Reed developed the Ten Terrains of Consciousness model as a powerful tool for our times. It helps us understand why people react to events like the pandemic in different ways. “We’re spiritual beings sharing the human experience, but we’re filtering the same events through different spectacles”.
