Thursday Night Sermon Replay: Elaine from The Arcane Oracle Joins Eye Opener Society · Eye Opener Society

0:02
Hello, everybody. Welcome to Eye Opener Society and welcome to the Thursday Night Sermon.
0:07
Take two. I just got done recording and for whatever reason, the audio failed me.
0:16
And it's really funny because before we got on, I had a conversation,
0:21
a long conversation with Lizzie, who unfortunately cannot be here tonight.
0:25
It's her daughter's birthday and Lizzie messed up her foot and she's got some
0:28
problems where she can't walk around. So she's going to be away tonight.
0:32
Not a big deal. We have somebody standing by who I'll introduce in a little while.
0:37
I was going to talk about communication because I was speaking about this to Lizzie.
0:42
And Lizzie, of course, inspired me to talk because I had ideas talking about
0:46
the third eye and all this other stuff.
0:49
But communication, here's what we had decided.
0:53
I had sat and said that Human beings are probably the highest Life form,
1:02
so to speak When it comes to communication We have speech We have tons of different
1:11
languages We can talk with our mouths We can write things down We could draw pictograms.
1:21
And we have body language. We could sometimes talk without even saying the word.
1:27
Sometimes just our eyes alone give away what we're saying.
1:32
And it's pretty interesting that on such a high form of communication or communicators,
1:41
it turns out we're the worst communicators.
1:44
Now, we could blame one, social media these days.
1:48
Everything's done by text. There's no real body language behind There's no context to it,
1:54
There's no infliction in voice You can't really tell And people are resorting
1:58
more and more to shorter form videos So we don't want to hear things spelled
2:03
out for us anymore We want everything condensed real quick It bothers me Because
2:08
I've always been big in communication,
2:12
And so when we go online When everything's supposed to work And it don't Well,
2:18
that takes away too from the communication,
2:22
And when we have a ministry like this And we want to communicate to everybody,
2:27
And it's even harder when the stuff doesn't work The technology doesn't work
2:31
But we still have a voice I could still get it out there I could still tape
2:34
it I could still put it up on platforms,
2:38
In this case, I'm just doing a take two That's all It's just not live But you're
2:42
going to get the recording even still.
2:45
And having said all of this When we're trying to get this message out My biggest
2:50
message is to communicate to everyone,
2:53
On a much higher frequency Because I'm trying to spread more good news Rather than bad news,
3:01
And having done so I'll give you a little back story I'll give you a little back story,
3:07
I put up a small clip, you know, these shorts, you know, and I try to do it every day.
3:13
YouTube is a weird place, not going to lie. There's always someone there with a stupid comment.
3:19
And I don't mind constructive criticism. I don't mind feedback or comments.
3:25
But when you're just personally attacking somebody, I made a short that basically
3:29
said, one of the greatest things you can carry around with you all the time is a smile.
3:37
Because you could pull it out anytime. It would change the way you feel almost instantly.
3:41
It's just one of those things you should always have. That was it.
3:47
Some female had been, and I don't mean to use female like, oh,
3:51
it's some female, but it was a female and it's relevant to this,
3:54
had made a comment, oh, how profound a smile.
3:57
Just don't go telling females to smile because they're liable to smack that
4:00
smile right off your face and you'll never be able to smile again.
4:05
And so I sat there completely shocked reading this. One, that was not my message.
4:11
I wasn't saying guys should go up to girls and tell them to smile.
4:16
I was saying you should be smiling yourself. But regardless, not a big deal.
4:21
Now, amazingly, I brought this up to Lizzie. And, you know, Lizzie gave a whole
4:24
nother perspective on it.
4:26
But, you know, it was interpreted wrong. But you know Everybody's stuck in this
4:31
world now Where because of other people's stupidity,
4:37
Pretty much everybody else suffers for it And that's not really right I would
4:42
like to change that We must understand that,
4:46
We must know our audience We must know who we are talking to But at that same
4:50
time Should we be speaking to a stranger And a stranger's trying to get to know
4:54
you Do you want to put on a facade And tell them
4:59
Things that are not true about you Do you want to speak to them.
5:06
In a way that you don't normally speak, I like to let things just flow.
5:11
Because if someone's trying to get to know me, they're going to get to know the real me.
5:17
Now, if they don't like the real me, I'm 100% okay with that.
5:22
But they don't need to attack me for being me as I wouldn't attack them for
5:26
being them or for not liking me.
5:29
These are things as human beings where as advanced as we so-called say we are,
5:36
Especially with communication We're still so miserable at it There's a lot of
5:41
ego involved in this What I
5:43
say goes What I say is the truth These are the problems with communication,
5:49
All we need to do Is speak and speak our mind But we should be respected of
5:54
that And those of you who don't like What someone is saying,
5:59
Turn it off Don't listen to it Listen to it Don't let it affect you There's
6:04
many ways around it We can't attack another person Just for what they are saying
6:09
So let's become much better Communicators.
6:15
As we so-called are as far as advanced communication.
6:19
Because you know what? Lizzie had bought up orcas. And I can tell you that dolphins
6:23
and whales probably have a much higher communication than we do.
6:29
And since she had bought it up, she's probably 100% right.
6:33
We're probably going to be knocked down to that very bottom of the food chain
6:36
when it comes to communicating. If we're not doing things right.
6:41
We need to start learning how to balance.
6:44
This way we can talk We can communicate We vibe with those that vibe with us.
6:52
And as for you That are listening, downloading, hearing us All I'm trying to
6:58
say is We are here for you We love you, we appreciate you We appreciate everything that you do for us,
7:06
And that's all that matters,
7:09
So now I'm going to turn over the microphones to Elaine.
7:14
Many of you know her. I know if you've been listening because I know she gets
7:17
more downloads than my show.
7:20
Elaine has recently been ordained by Eye Opener Society as a minister.
7:25
She decided to join us on this Thursday night sermon.
7:29
And unfortunately, it didn't work out, but she stuck around.
7:31
So now we can do the recorded version.
7:33
And I'm very glad because I'm dying to hear what she has to say.
7:36
And it's really nice to have her on.
7:38
So I'm turning the microphone over now to Elaine from Arcane Oracle. Elaine, take it away.
7:46
Thank you so much, Gary. Thank you for having me on and thank you for your patience
7:50
with the technology struggles we were experiencing earlier.
7:56
Really appreciate you and that was a great talk and I'm sure you would agree
8:02
that the best path to spiritual enlightenment is arguing with strangers on the internet.
8:12
I'm kidding. Of course I'm kidding. But anyway, I really love your message there
8:20
that communication, it's so, so important, so underutilized.
8:26
We can always improve how we communicate, how productive our communication is.
8:34
And maybe you can help me Remember, I believe there was a Buddhist maxim that
8:42
let your words pass through four gates.
8:44
Is it true? Is it kind? Is it helpful? Is it necessary?
8:51
Oftentimes, I mean, I'm a Gemini. I have a lot of thoughts going on at all times
8:57
spinning around in my head.
8:58
I have a lot of chatter I could throw out there.
9:01
But, you know, if I really try to focus on those four gates,
9:06
I find that I oftentimes don't have a whole lot to say.
9:11
I don't know if that's true for other people.
9:15
But anyway, so on that note of communication, if you check out my podcast for
9:22
the month of June, as I'm sure many of you will,
9:24
there are a lot of different astrological events going on, transits to Mercury,
9:30
as well as the full moon in Sagittarius and the new moon in Gemini.
9:34
These are powerful opportunities
9:38
to adjust refine and
9:41
change our communications the nature of
9:44
our communications the quality of our communications and our
9:47
communication style sagittarius the full
9:50
moons they illuminate light up things in our subjects
9:54
in our lives sagittarius you know it's
9:56
about adventure and free free
10:00
spirited experience and all of that but sagittarius is
10:03
also about messaging it's about education higher
10:06
education primarily and publication so you know a podcast could be seen through
10:13
the sign and perspective of Sagittarius as well as the ninth house so the full
10:19
moon at the end of May and first day of June June 1st it's a great time.
10:26
To focus on messaging as as
10:29
a key focus and then on june 15th there's
10:33
the gemini new moon gemini is the sign of communication so that's a wonderful
10:38
time to hit the reset button on communication as well as messaging but anyway
10:44
you learn all about that in this month's arcane oracle astrology podcast.
10:51
Forgive me, I can't talk.
10:52
Anyway, I'd prepared a little chat on spiritual practice, basics of beginning
10:58
one's own spiritual practice.
11:01
And spiritual practices are intentional routine activities and rituals designed
11:07
to cultivate inner growth, to connect with the divine, and to foster deeper
11:11
awareness of the sacred in one's daily life.
11:14
And these practices can be solitary or communal.
11:18
A good spiritual practice strives to transform oneself, to cultivate the inner
11:24
self, and to transform the heart, align personal values, and foster spiritual development.
11:31
Why should you start your own spiritual practice? My answer would be for the
11:35
endless benefit, and they really are endless.
11:39
Benefits include increased intuition and better inner guidance for psychic abilities,
11:44
connection to divinity.
11:46
Oh, I, sorry, Arliss has decided to podcast bomb.
11:54
Forgive me. But anyway, connection to divinity, spirit guides, and the spirit realm.
11:59
Self-development and cultivation of one's character Increased personal vibration
12:06
and psychic energy or personal attunement Improved mental and emotional health,
12:12
metacognition, resiliency,
12:14
and awareness For inner peace, serenity, and stress management Those are key
12:19
benefits of a daily spiritual practice Or at least a regular spiritual practice,
12:25
and also endless add-on benefits as
12:28
you develop and expand on your own unique spiritual practice
12:31
and it should be unique to each person so where should you start the first steps
12:38
are grounding and centering your own spiritual energy it's best to begin any
12:42
spiritual practice with a basic grounding ritual there's endless methods for
12:46
grounding of course and the best grounding method is whatever method feels most effective for you.
12:52
In the process of grounding, you should begin to feel the essence of your own
12:56
spiritual energy, your chi or your soul, if you will.
13:00
After you feel sufficiently grounded, you can start the centering process and
13:06
you begin by breathing into it and feeling its flow.
13:09
The idea is to attune yourself with it and begin to feel it like a muscle.
13:15
Then concentrate on drawing in your energy into your chest or heart center.
13:23
Second step is consecration, and this involves sacred intent,
13:26
sacred space, and one's personal altar.
13:30
Consecration is a solemn act of setting someone or something apart for a sacred divine purpose.
13:37
This practice is also known as dedication, ordination, blessing, or hallowing.
13:42
If possible, choose a private and peaceful spot in your dwelling to dedicate as a sacred space.
13:48
You can do this with simple sacred intention, but you can also use a ritual
13:53
that calls to you to set your sacred space.
14:02
Setting up your own spiritual altar can also empower your individual spiritual
14:07
practice This can also help establish routine and consistency with your spiritual practice,
14:22
Third step is spiritual connection Connecting to divinity,
14:27
your spirit guides, your angels, or your ancestors Whoever you connect with
14:31
on your spirit team Everyone has a spirit team of guides,
14:36
ancestors, angels, and so on Spirit teams are as unique as the individual people
14:41
that they guide By engaging in regular spiritual practice, you can connect with
14:47
your spirit team better And in turn,
14:49
you can receive clearer guidance from your guides along your journey of spiritual development.
14:56
Fourth step is meditation, prayer, and personal spiritual rituals.
15:01
The key here is to choose whatever method most calls to you and whatever you
15:06
can consistently follow.
15:08
This is how you make your spiritual practice unique and, most importantly, make it routine.
15:15
And the fifth step, consider spiritual journaling.
15:19
It's not a requirement, but journaling can be a powerful tool for discovering
15:23
sacred insights and intuitions, for shadow work and self-development,
15:28
for manifestation and magic, and for charting your own spiritual growth.
15:32
The possibilities really are endless, and you should consider incorporating
15:37
journaling into your spiritual practice.
15:40
Starting your own spiritual practice is a transformative process that begins
15:44
with small, deliberate steps.
15:46
By incorporating simple but intentional rituals like grounding and centering,
15:51
consecration, and regular rituals of spiritual connection, you open the door
15:56
to a life of deeper awareness, inner peace,
15:59
spirit-guided wisdom, and profound personal growth.
16:03
You can find your own path and
16:05
embrace it as it calls you. Your unique spiritual awakening is waiting.
16:10
All right, Gary, thank you for giving me the space for that piece.
16:15
