• 0:34
  SPEAKER_00: Hey everybody, welcome to another episode of the Digital Soul Space Podcast, Musings of the Metaphysical, Magical and Nonsensical.
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_00: I am your host, Michael Robert, and I'm also the creator of digital soulspace.org, an independent online metaphysical community.
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_00: And that is an online place where we have witches and pagans and people just getting started in their spiritual journeys.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_00: We have astrologers and uh spellcasters and witches and everything.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_00: I think I already said witches.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_00: But anyway, give us a visit at digitalsoulspace.org.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_00: We are free.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_00: We don't have any ads.
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_00: And you might add, uh you might ask, how is that even possible?
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: And the reason is we're funded by donations.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_00: And if you can't afford to donate, that's okay because you can still access our community.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_00: We're kind of like the public television of uh social media.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_00: We have a social media style interface.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_00: We're hosted by Mighty Network, so we even have a cool app.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: And it's just a wonderful, wonderful place to hang out and not talk about politics because it's not allowed, and not deal with rude people because rudeness isn't allowed either.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_00: We have wonderful moderators that make sure that everybody is coming from a place of understanding and empathy and mutual respect.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: Anyway, give us a visit, diditoralsolspace.org.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: So let's get on with our podcast today.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think this is going to be a long episode because it's it's kind of an easy topic, but let's talk about it, okay?
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: And today's episode is all about the biggest, biggest mistake people make when on their spiritual journey, or the biggest mistake people make as spiritual leaders.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_00: And basically, that mistake is thinking that you're making a mistake.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so let me just break that down.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: It is absolutely impossible for you to make a mistake on your spiritual journey because everything you do on your spiritual journey is growth.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_00: Everything.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_00: And nobody, absolutely nobody, has a right or authority to tell you, hey, you're making a mistake, you're doing it wrong.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: That is absolutely incorrect.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: It's also one of the biggest ways that you can uh tell if someone is in this, not probably from a place that you're in alignment with.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: If you are online and you see an influence influ sorry, influencer saying to you, hey, this is how you're supposed to do it.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_00: And this is this is what everybody gets wrong, and this is well, maybe it's wrong for them, but it's certainly not necessarily wrong for you.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_00: And if anybody's telling you you're doing it wrong on your spiritual journey, then they're just not spiritual.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sorry, they're something else.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe they're trying to start a business, or maybe they're trying to start a cult, or maybe they're trying to start a type of following, or maybe even their own modality.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: But if you're starting to tell people that you're interpreting signs wrong, or you're doing something wrong, then that is not uh a good thing.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_00: That's the only mistake you can make.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_00: That is the only mistake.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: So, and that's actually one of the things we love about you know digital soul spaces.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_00: Nobody will ever tell you you're making a mistake.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: Digital SoulSpace is a place to share and learn from one another because maybe someone's journey resonates with you, maybe somebody else's journey resonates, you know, with your experiences, and maybe it can help you grow as well, you know.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_00: And a lot of times, you know, you're on social media and you have an influencer, and they're just trying to get hits, they're just trying to get people to watch them, people to follow them, and they come across as having all the answers, and absolutely no one has all the answers.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_00: It's literally impossible for you to have all the answers because if you believe that you know there are higher dimensions than this one, then it's it's impossible for a human brain to understand what was created in 4D and 5D and upwards, right?
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_00: Because we don't have that frame of reference.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: It's just impossible.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: And so we can't understand it.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_00: So that's why we it that's why we can't have all the answers.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_00: We can have some basic answers, maybe.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_00: But when push comes to shove, nobody really knows, right?
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_00: We're all we're all taking educated guesses, we're all agreeing with what resonates with us, right?
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_00: And that's why a spiritual journey is so individualized, it's so, you know, based on your own life, your own experience.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_00: And there's no goals that anyone can set for you except for yourself.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_00: You're the only one that can say, I want to be able to do this, or I want to get to a place where I'm thinking a certain way.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_00: Nobody can force you there.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_00: People can guide you there because maybe you feel like, for example, law of attraction.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe you want to pursue that sort of um uh frame framework, which isn't law of attraction, isn't even a modality.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_00: It's more of a a framework or looking at certain things or even a hack for the universe.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: Um, it's a part of science of mind, if you're familiar with science of mind, which is basically the belief that source energy flows through everything.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: And we're not talking about just people, it flows through everything, anything, any part of your physical reality, source energy flows through in the science of mind uh practice or spiritual point of view, and so with that being said, your thoughts, your feelings, your emotions shape the physical reality around you.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_00: Because since source flows through all that, and you're a part of source, you can take part in shaping your reality.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_00: And that's just, you know, one thing.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_00: You may feel like you're attracted to that perspective, like I am.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_00: I love science of mind, I love law of attraction.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_00: I actually went through it the opposite way.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_00: I went first for law of attraction, and then I started attending uh attending, like, for lack of a better term, it's sort of like a church, but they call it a spiritual center.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_00: They don't have Bibles, they don't say amen, really.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_00: They say, and so it is.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_00: And um, it's multi-faith, you know.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_00: They every uh once a month they celebrate every faith.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_00: They light a candle for the seven major faiths on the planet.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_00: It's really nice.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_00: I used to go there quite often, and I occasionally uh have the uh desire to go there again, but it's sort of like not that it stopped resonating with me, but it's sort of like okay, I got what I needed to out of it, and it's nice, and I the desire to go there more or less comes from the desire to be surrounded by other people that are also observing what I am, right?
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_00: But nobody will ever tell you there that you're making a mistake, at least I hope not.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_00: At least I won't, right?
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, that's the biggest mistake is that people tell other people they're making a mistake.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_00: There was this blog I was reading the other day on Substack that was sent to me, and it was talking about the biggest mistake people make when interpreting signs from the universe, and that kind of set me off because I was like, no, you can't make a mistake, and that's what hopefully kicked me, you know, nudged me to do this podcast was the title of that article.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_00: Because I have to be honest with you, I didn't even read the article.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm really hoping that the article kind of went in the same direction as this podcast, right?
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_00: Like it was saying, you know, this is the biggest mistake, but when you read the article, maybe it would say, Hey, but there is no mistake when you're getting a sign from your guides.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_00: That seems to be the general trend right now on the internet.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_00: Like they'll say, Don't you ever do this with your dog?
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_00: And then you go to watch it, and it's not saying you shouldn't, you know, do this with your dog.
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_00: It's actually saying, uh, don't you ever do this with your dog without like something else?
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_00: It's like without petting it or loving it, you know, something silly.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_00: It's just something to grab your attention.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_00: So I I'm guilty of that right now, too.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_00: I'm using that same thing, but it it's it just feels like it's super important to talk about this.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_00: That your spiritual journey is yours and yours alone, and nobody, absolutely nobody, can tell you which way to go with it.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_00: Now, you can take bits and pieces from different journeys and different modalities and different religions, even, and you can form your own practice as long as it's making you grow or you feel like you're growing, and if it and it resonates with you, and if it doesn't resonate with you, then you move on, and that's part of growing too.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_00: So everything is part of growth, it's all designed to get you somewhere and to help you grow.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_00: And you should never cut yourself off, you should, you know, never say, Hey, this is what I am, and no, I I just I don't want to explore anything else.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_00: In fact, I I you know what?
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_00: In fact, look, I just caught myself saying that.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_00: That's not a mistake either.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_00: If you do cut yourself off, that's also a growth opportunity.
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_00: So see, don't even listen to what I said just there.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_00: No one can tell you you're wrong.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_00: Whatever you decide to do spiritually, that is a part of your growth.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_00: So, see, I just caught myself saying, well, if you cut yourself off from growing, then that's a mistake.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_00: No, that in itself is also part of your growth.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so stop listening to those social media people that want you to buy their shit so that you can learn how to do something the right way.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_00: I am really kind of disappointed in a social media company or a content company that I see online, and they kind of try to make themselves seem like they're the Olympic stars of spirituality, like a powerhouse, like the halls of justice.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_00: You remember the Super Friends?
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_00: And uh it's kind of it's kind of comedic sometimes because the way they present themselves in their graphics, and they're like, you know, they look like these formidable spiritual warriors type things, and um, it's sad because they're basically getting money from people to go ahead and give them their own brand of spirituality and tell them they're doing it wrong.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_00: And again, that's the problem I have that they're telling them to do that they're doing it wrong, and and it's even worse when they're telling people they do they're doing it wrong strictly to get their brand, to get you connected or addicted to their very own brand.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_00: So that's a problem I have, right?
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I hate going um I can literally de-um and I broadcast by the waveform now of the shape of the word um.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_00: Um is a good thing.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_00: Um is not anyway.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just amusing myself at this point.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_00: So however, going for a spiritual company or a content creator that's telling you you're doing it the wrong way, again, that's part of growth.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_00: Hopefully, or I should say everybody mostly usually discovers quickly with that kind of thing that it it doesn't really resonate so much after a while.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_00: Because it can't pass certain tests, right?
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't it it's not applicable to everyone, and even when it is, they don't tell you it's they just if it's not working, they say you're doing it wrong, sort of thing, without explaining much why.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_00: You know what I'm talking about.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah, stay away from that sort of thing.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_00: Uh stay away from anybody that's trying to tell you you're doing it wrong, because you're not, you're doing it absolutely perfect.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_00: You are exactly where you need to be.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_00: And so many people say that, so many spiritual advisors say that without even realizing, hey, that place that you're exactly where you need to be, it may be the wrong place, but it's part of growth.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_00: Anyway, that's it for this episode.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, I hope I made sense.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_00: It's only 15 minutes long, right?
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_00: But somebody out there, somebody needed to hear this.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_00: And in all directions of time and space, that may be years from now.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_00: Who knows?
• 15:40
