In this episode, we’re going to step back and look at our current world events from a higher spiritual perspective. We’ll explore how pressure, discord, and transition can actually be invitations to awakening, to see more clearly, and to choose from a place of awareness instead of reaction. We will also provide some simple tools for how to stay grounded, how to become the observer of your experience and not its effect, and how to read the signs in your life—both personal and global—without getting lost in the emotion of the moment.

In this episode, we’re exploring what it means to truly come home to ourselves — to rebuild self-trust after years of living from expectation instead of essence.” I am pleased to introduce Mary Addison Yates, a Certified Empowerment Life Coach supporting high-capacity women… women who outwardly appear strong, accomplished, and centered — yet inwardly struggle with trusting themselves.

In our last episode (Part 1), we talked about spiritual sovereignty, about moving beyond old tribal identities into tribes of spiritual resonance, and about the deeper possibility that many of us have incarnated together, now, for a kind of collective Mass do-over. In this episode (Part 2), I want to bring that very cosmic, very big picture… right down into your everyday life. Because it’s one thing to feel, “Yes, I’m here on a mission,” and another thing to look around your town, your job, your family, and think, “Okay, but where are my people?” So this episode is about the how. How do you find, or create, your consciousness tribe? How do you draw to yourself those who resonate with oneness, stewardship, and shared mission? And how do you let them find YOU?

This episode is Part 1 of a two-part series that will talk about collective spiritual resonance and how we can, as awakened souls, come together to create community and spiritual solidarity during this most significant time of planetary transition and change. In one of my earlier writings, I said: "You are spiritually sovereign. It is time to lift illusion's veil, for true and lasting peace will not be realized on this earth until we finally discard tribal thinking with a clear and unwavering shift of consciousness into the realization that we are all divine, loving sparks of God Source. That I am you...and you are me, that we are One." So, if you’re listening to this, it is because, at some level, you already know: you are spiritually sovereign.

We are deviating from our normal format to begin a new series of interviews that I will be conducting from time to time on a myriad of spiritual topics, consistent with many of the themes that I have shared throughout this podcast. Today, I’m honored to begin this series by welcoming Erin Lucero, a Master Shamanic Energy Medicine Practitioner certified through the Four Winds Institute. She’s also the author of the book “Ayni: Finding Connection, Love & Harmony with the Wisdom of Yoga & Shamanism.” Erin’s work as a Shamanic energy healer centers on the deep connection between mind, body, and spirit—guiding others to release energetic blockages and return to their natural state of balance and radiance.

In this episode, we will talk about a natural phenomenon that affects all of us. That is, what is the Collective field and why is it important for us to understand as we continue to rise ever closer in spiritual vibration to our own individual and collective higher consciousness? The collective field of existence is the underlying web in which everything participates, where individual lives are expressions of a larger, co‑created field rather than isolated events. From a spiritual perspective, it is the shared emotional and psychic atmosphere,” “field of consciousness,” and “unconscious patterns we participate in together.” Experientially, it’s what you feel in a room, a crowd, a culture—the invisible ‘climate’ we co‑create and are moved by.” While this collective field of existence forms the shared, dynamic web of emotions, meanings, and interactions that bind us as individuals into a greater whole, it actually finds its deeper blueprint in something called the morphogenetic field. This more refined organizing principle acts like an invisible memory template, guiding the formation of patterns in biology, behavior, and consciousness—not through rigid blueprints, but through resonant fields that stabilize forms and habits over time.

In this episode, we will talk about something called Metacognition. In many academic circles, it has been touted as the highest form of intelligence because it is the art of “thinking about thinking”; the ability to notice, reflect on, and intentionally guide your own thoughts, emotions, and mental habits in real time. In simpler terms, it is awareness of “what is happening in me right now” plus the capacity to work with it instead of being run by it. The question becomes, how can we use this process to move us closer to true spiritual awareness?

In this episode, we’re going to go deep into the understanding of something that I have spoken about and referenced in pretty much every episode that I have created for this podcast; that is -- what do I mean when I use the term, "Oneness Consciousness?" In light of the many spiritual conversations we have had on awakening to one's own divinity, what would the clearest interpretation of this term actually be?
