Your Identity Is Allegiance to Your Pain
Michael: Welcome to our living room
Audree: I love this living room.
I was watching a video of you.
There was, like, a short on the
Be Evolutionary YouTube channel.
Michael: Mm-hmm.
Audree: And you were in the living room.
So if anybody wants to see what
the living room looks like,
you can go watch that littleâ¦
There's only, like, one video there.
Michael: That's weird.
I think I posted, uh
I think there was a time when we posted,
like, I don't know, a whole bunch.
Maybe it's- It was 20
⦠Audree: maybe it's on a different- On
Michael: all the different social medias.
Mm.
They're usually as shorts.
They're usually as shorts.
I don't know.
Audree: Yeah, but shorts and
videos would just pop up on
the whole Be Evolutionary- I-
YouTube channel
⦠Michael: yeah, it's not set up
Audree: properly.
Hmm.
Michael: Anyway
Audree: I love this living room
Like I'm really comfortable here
You had a beautiful share
with me this morning.
So we did our normal sit down and
talk about, like, the insights
that we were having this morning.
And, um, I didn't ask Michael to mic up
because it was just this really ⦠It
was just s- it was just such a beautiful
share, but I didn't wanna disrupt the flow
And I didn't wannaâ¦
I just wanted you to
have your moment without
Having to share publicly
And then at the end I said,
"Oh, well we can go back."
Michael: Hmm.
Well-
Audree: And you could share
it again if you want to
Michael: Yeah.
I, I, I, like so, so I guess
the backstory here is, has been
I don't know, maybe five days
since we did a podcast, and
it feels like an eternity ago.
Feels like an whole age ago.
Audree: Are you sure it
wasn't like a couple days ago?
Michael: Uh, maybe.
I mean, it's been a coupleâ¦
It feels like forever ago.
And, uh, I have been recording, just
not, not for podcast, just, just
recording the experiential understanding
of the mechanics of creation.
It didn't feel right to do a podcast on
them 'cause they're just very, very deep.
They've been just very, very deep
mechanics of the, the structure
of creation at the level of
light codes and things like that.
And, and there's, it, it's not,
it's not of any interest or value
to anyone unless you're actually at
the level where you can-- you refine
your awareness to perceive those,
those refined mechanics of creation.
And, um, actually, uh, let me, let me
just segue here before we go into this.
I had this realization of like, well
You know, everyone wants this, you
know, blissful state and, you know,
have this meditation to put you in this
amazing state or have this, you know,
breathing practice put you in this
amazing state and what, what I got was,
well, like, you know, people don't get it
That it's not about that.
That that's chasing rainbows that can
never be, never be realized, um, that way.
Can never be realized
by chasing the rainbow.
Chasing the rainbow will
not give you the rainbow.
What will give you the rainbow, the,
the truth, the purification, the, the,
the permanent state, is by being here
in the now and looking at your life and,
and stopping and purifying and using
the tools with every moment that upsets
you, every disturbance in your field.
The now is the pathway into
the truth of who you are.
The, the pathway is not through--
I mean, we, we wanna use tools like
Evolutionary Energetics and the ETOM
mantra and things like that to support
the journey, but those aren't the journey.
The journey is now.
Awareness is the primary mechanism
of evolution, and the way you get to
those refined states of understanding
the mechanics of creation is you
start with the basics of, like, what
is happening in my life right now?
What is happening in
my thoughts right now?
What is happening in my
relationships right now?
What is happening directly
right in front of me right now?
That was another moment in
the shower this morning.
Mm-hmm.
It's like, wait a minute.
It's all right there in front of us,
and people who are highly committed to
their spiritual journey are discarding
the most important thing and, you
know, practicing various forms of
spiritual bypassing and, and so on.
Or even people like us and our
students who are on the journey, it's
just so easy to not-- to skip over
those little glitches that happen
moment to moment, those little micro
fears, those little, like, little
glitches of, like, we're r- somebody
says something, we're resisting it.
Like, all of those are
the gateway through.
Every moment of pain
is the gateway through.
Every moment of struggle
is the gateway through
Okay.
Okay, I- Amongst yourselves.
Yeah, Audrey's going to
the bathroom, I guess.
Mm-hmm.
Anyway, um, so, so that, that'sâ¦
And, and this is-- And that's actually
what my share is this morning.
My share is that, that,
uh, well, I'll goâ¦
To give you the, the, the, the
kind of the story is, like,
I was waking up at 3:00 a.m.,
and, you know, the mind's going and,
you know, I can feel my frequency's
dropped, and I'm aware of the whole thing.
I'm just watching the whole thing and,
you know, I'm using the tools, and stuff
doesn't really work when I'm lying in bed.
Like, I usually just have to get up,
and I've been getting up for, you
know, uh, probably, like, three, four
nights in a row at 3:00 or 4:00 a.m.
and working through and having these
breakthroughs in my internal state.
And I'm like, "Well,
I, you know, I'm tired.
Like, I'm just gonna lay down and
see if I can work through this
lying down without getting up."
And, you know, things kinda sorta
worked, and I fell back asleep.
And, and then it was kinda coming back
to, like, you know, this, you know,
liminal state where it's half-asleep,
half-awake, and I was getting all
these flashbacks to all these moments
of, of, of pain or discomfort.
Like, really random ones, not even,
like, necessarily big ones, but just
all these different random things,
and I'm going like, "Oh, okay,
well, I guess this is going on.
Like, like, what?
I'm supposed to clear all this?
Like, there's a lot here," right?
Like, what, whatâ¦
You know, you know, it's kinda
like playing Whac-A-Mole.
I mean, there's so many
different things coming up.
Like, how can, how can
you possibly do them all?
And, and then I started
to realize, wait a second.
My, you know, so really my whole life
has been, like, this pain and suffering,
and I'm starting to experience this,
like, holy, you know, holy moly.
Like, there's a lot here going on.
And I'm like, "Okay, I guess
it's time to go up, get up."
And by, by now it's, like, I
don't know, whatever, 5:30 a.m.,
and it's light out here already
for where we live in the world.
Um, and, uh, and I'm like, "Okay,
I'm gonna get up, go in my shower."
So I'm in the shower, so this
is, again, you know, another
shower breakthrough here.
That's what kinda seems my MO.
That's when, like, I open up, and I'm
just really curious, and the guides
come in and help me out and so on.
And so-
So I'm, I'm looking at all this
pain and, and seeing and starting
to feel and experience all this
pain of my life, all the suffering,
all the, like, deep, deep moments.
Like, and this is getting,
like, really, really gnarly.
And then I'm reminded of,
you know, this teaching.
Well, from the egoic perspective, you
know, it's all, you know, shit and pain.
But from the perspective of our higher
self, it's all perfection because each one
of those moments is the gateway through.
And then what happened was a- almost
like this life review or it was exactly
like a-- it was exactly like a life
review of seeing how each of those
moments of pain enabled the whole
journey, and that if those hadn't been
there, I would not be where I am now
At the verge of the other side or
on the other side somewhere there.
So there was this moment, like I can feel
it right now, this moment of seeing the
perfection of the misery and the pain
and the experiences and the suffering
and the unworthiness and the shame of my
life and seeing how each of those moments
were the perfect thing that was needed.
And then on the other side of the fence,
having this awareness of this aspect
that, of what I, who I am as this eternal
being, never born, never died and, and
recognizing like, "Wait a minute, I'm
the one who created this whole plan.
I'm the one who created
this whole situation.
I'm the one who created and endorsed
this whole journey because I knew
this was the only way to come through
this situation and this experience."
It's not like anyone's, you know,
it's like, it's not like anyâ¦
There, there was no thought
of anyone doing this to me or,
you know, I'm at the hands of a
merciless fate or anything like that.
It's like, "Wait a minute, I
created this because I can seeâ¦"
and I am placed of seeing
the mechanics of creation.
This is the only trajectory through.
If the pain knob had not been
turned to a 12 plus plus or a 25
or 100 on a scale of 1 to 10, I
would not have gone on the journey.
Like, I would not have.
I mean, it's just that it was just so
obvious to me right now that everything
was exactly perfect and exactly needed.
And this is what no one understands.
Everyone thinks, "Oh, I'm
dealing with this thing and
I'm dealing with that thing."
And what, what I got to and, and,
and, and you are and at the same
time there's another perspective.
And so the perspective I was arriving at
is, is that, "Wait a minute, I can either
choose to be in the egoic perspective and
seeing the pain, seeing the suffering or
I can be in this eternal perspective and
recognize that everything just happened
because it needed to happen to get toâ¦"
And, and, and then, and then
the final part comes in-
Audree: Ho-ho-hold on, 'cause
there's a transmission.
When you were telling me this story
the first time, that's where the
transmission locked something in my being.
Like I actually- Yeah ⦠felt pain
in my brain, and I had this shift
So say it again
So when we start,
Michael: so what I was doing
or what was happening, it was a
happening of looking at everything
Everything, every moment every pain
Every suffering, external, internal,
everything, as the gateway through
that each of those moments
It's almost like the, the blows of
life, the blows that we think we're
suffering, it's like we're a, like
a block of marble and each blow is
taking off the thing that's not us
until this beautiful sculpture's left.
But the blows are needed to remove
all the things that are not this
exquisite sculpture, which is
the truth of what and who we are.
And so if you think about,
"Oh, I'm a piece of marble.
I'm getting all these blows on me.
Oh, this sucks, this sucks, this sucks."
But when you finish
And you see, well, all of that was
necessary to create the sculpture.
All of that was needed.
Without those blows,
there is no sculpture.
There is no truth of what and who you are
And so this was the awareness
that was coming into me.
It's like wait a second, everything
had to happen There was no moment
of unworthiness, no moment of
shame that could've been avoided
that all of it was needed
to, to create this experience
And then within my being, there's
like this profound, almost like
this sadness for everything,
every struggle, every pain.
And at the same time, an
awareness that, that, that's
a perception, a misperception.
And that when I, you know-- When we back
into the truth of what and who we are
and arriving at gratitude.
You know, first seeing
there is no gratitude
Then finally arriving at gratitude
for everything that happened
And with the gratitude, there's
this letting go of all the struggle,
all the resistance to everything.
Audree: Well, you don't even need
to hold on to those moments anymore.
You don't need to hold on to the pain
and suffering because you've concluded
the experience with the realization
It's like it comes full circle.
The data is now collected
Michael: And that's why I come
back to the present moment.
This is why I had this
Whoops
Pressed the wrong button
This is why I had this moment at
mo- awareness of the present moment.
It's like
There is only the present moment
ultimately, and it's our frequency in the
present moment that determines everything
And
As I, I can feel this as I'm letting go
fully of the past, of having gratitude
for everything that's come before and
just letting it go fully, that all those
lower frequencies that I've given my
allegiance to are cut off and gone, and
now I'm just here in high frequency.
And so this is the part about how,
you know, it's our subconscious
that's creating our reality and
so on, blah, blah, blah, but I
can feel it very viscerally now.
It's that when we have that misperception
of everything that's happened to us, when
we have that allegiance to the pain and
suffering, and, and, and, and I didn't
say this to you, but I'm just getting this
now, there's this deep allegiance we have
to the story of our pain and suffering.
The identity of I've had this
wounding, I've had this shame, I've
had this, this not belonging and
not being wanted and unworthiness
and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
We have a deep, deep allegiance to
that, and that allegiance is the hold
of the egoic consciousness on our being.
And when we've let go of that
allegiance to the pain and
suffering, the low frequencies,
then we're just in high frequency
Audree: Just taking a
moment to let that sink in
I'm talking to the audience
Michael: I'm talking to myself right
now it's like me, Sylvester, yeah
Audree: The allegiance to the identity
of the pain and suffering, the story
This happened
It's not discounting it.
It's just, it happened.
Y-
Michael: you know what it feels like?
Audree: Hmm.
Michael: Um
It, it's not, it's un- So, so, so
the events happened in our lives.
They happened for sure.
There's not, that's not what
we're talking about here.
They did happen.
Mm-hmm.
It's the interpretation and the
understanding we have of those events.
And so what I'm getting to is, you
know, one of our, you know, the, the,
the Australian, you know, teacher who
shall be un- unnamed, um, said, "Well-
Audree: He who must not be named.
Michael: Yeah, he who must not be named.
Audree: Not in a bad way.
Yeah.
He- it's just that's what he told us.
Yeah.
"Do not mention my name."
Michael: Uh, so he said, "Well, you
know, when you're trying to evaluate
is this a good life event or a
negative life event," he said, "well,
you know, you gotta look downâ¦
It's not just looking down the
next move on the chessboard or
the next 10 moves, it's like how
does this whole thing play out?"
And what I just got now is when
you play it out to the final point
of realization, you can, only
then can you see the value of it.
Audree: Hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Michael: So basically, the egoic
consciousness, you, everyone listening to
this, you are identified things as good or
bad because the game hasn't played out yet
When the game finishes playing
out, then you'll realize the gift
and the perfection of each moment.
And this is not about trying to
believe it or trying to see it.
It's just knowing that this is what's
waiting for you, and the gateway through
is you looking at your present moment
reality, is going beyond everything
you've ever known before, is taking
that next step and getting the next
level of tooling to go on the journey.
That is the, that is how
you get to that place.
Otherwise, you're gonna k- keep
your shame, your unworthiness, your
lack of belonging, your loneliness-
Self-punishment ⦠self-punishment,
the loop of self-punishment that is what
and who we are as egoic consciousness.
You will keep that loop forever
Until the frequency of the, the phase
of the universe we're in elevates, and
then everyone can just go back to source.
Audree: Wow.
Michael: I remember you
telling me about your patients
you know, who are identified with their
disease and, you know, that determined
whether you could help them or not.
And I guess what we're speaking about is a
more general case of how we're identified
with our-- all of our pain and suffering
Audree: I'm having this
really profound moment
I have this, like, background
track, this, like you say, like,
that the background radiation-
Mm-hmm ⦠always of not being wanted
Not being loved
Michael: Not being safe
Audree: Not being safe, being different.
Like, I was adopted.
The family that adopted
me, I was m- different.
I was dirty.
I, I must have come from
a horrible background.
Mm-hmm.
You know, like all, all of the shame,
guilt, guilt for my parents not being
able to have children for seven years.
Like, allâ¦
Like, just all of this stuff.
Then when they did have biological
children, they were better than me.
Mm-hmm.
That, and I'm like, that story, that
image, that identity has just played out
over and over and over again in my life,
and I can't shake it, no matter what I do.
Mm.
And there's something in
the transmission of yourâ¦
That's why we do this podcast
Because in the moment that we have the
insight or the awakening, it becomes
a transmission for everybody else.
So what happened was when you were
telling me the story, we weren't even
mic'd up, but I had this ⦠Something
happened inside of me, and I had this
piercing in my brain, and I had this
deep ⦠I don't- I can't even explain it
And then you continued talking,
and I could feel it in me.
I went back and I was like, "That's it
And it's my freak to genius channel too
And it's the very thing here for me
that's not allowing me to move forward.
It's the, the block.
Nobody will love me.
Nobody will accept me.
Like, I see it in your family.
I see it in my family.
I see it with my sisters.
I see it with all my past relationships.
I see it with walking into a workspace
I see it in me wanting to hide
And it's like this very subtle
That's where we need to look, people.
That awareness
The subtle background.
What's in the background?
What's the background identity
that is like this theme
throughout your whole entire life?
Michael: Hmm.
Well, and how we get
there is really simple.
We start with what's in the foreground,
and then we start to notice what's in
the foreground that we're missing, and
then we look at, well, what's in the
background that's kind of the obvious
stuff, and then we look deeper, what's
in the background that's hiding,
and then eventually we get here.
And then, uh, and then, then
everything just gets undone
Audree: Right, and the minute you start
to actually see the truth, see what
Oh.
You know, when you could see it
and, and accept it, it's like the
four A's, but it's- Mm ⦠it's
like awareness and acceptance.
Oh, that's the identity
that I'm holding onto.
And I don't, it's not like I've
never seen it before or never
ac- you know, acknowledged it
But there's a transmission here
That's why I keep stopping for everyone
There's an opportunity right now
to go that deep
and choose to see it
Oh, I do this thing
Like I'm choosing this.
I'm choosing to take the perspective
of the victim, of the trauma
of the guilt, of the shame,
of the self-punishment.
I'm choosing that
I'm choosing to perpetuate it
I'm choosing to have-- make it
have impact on all of my reality
Michael: You know, I was reminded
it's so easy to see the grip.
You know, something that happened in our
childhood or 20 years ago, you know, or
10 years ago, or five years ago, we can
think about it and it-- we can bring
back that upset and that pain and that
struggle and that, you know, internal
feeling of whatever was going on for us.
And like, that's, that's
what we're dealing with.
I mean, it's not like you can
pretend it's not there or shake it.
It's like there's all this
shit in our being, all these
low-frequency structures of, ofâ¦
And this is what's con- this
is what's, this is what this
identity is holding in place.
It's 'cause underneath each of those
experiences, what I-- this is what
happened this morning, is I, I went
through, sort of going through all the
experiences, and then I was like, "Well,
what's, what's, what's in common here?"
It's like, you know, it's like,
well, it's just this thing.
Audree: You know, and it, it
Everyone has it.
Like I'm just like realizing like
You said, you know, you, one
experience and you hold onto it.
All of a sudden in my head it was like I
remember going to the store with my dad-
Michael: Right
⦠Audree: and they called me a shiksa.
Michael: Mm-hmm.
Audree: And I didn't know what that was.
And it was like, 'cause the family
that adopted me is Jewish, and
I had blonde hair and blue eyes.
I looked like Shirley Temple.
Like, my mom played on that, like
dressed me up like Shirley Temple.
Like
You know, so it's, it's like that
reverse, like I wasn't like an
Asian child or, you know, a, a
Black child or anything like that.
I wasâ¦
I had blonde hair and blue
eyes, so I was, I was different.
Like, it was like the opposite.
The wrong kind of different.
The wrong kind of different.
You know, I looked WASPy, you know?
But it was like, I remember that was l-
like the first time that I heard that.
I must've been like three or four.
Mm-hmm.
And I was like, I asked my dad what
that meant, and he said, "Oh, you
have blonde hair and blue eyes.
You don't look Jewish."
And it's like calling somebody the N-word.
I mean, he didn't say that, but,
you know, that's what it was.
Shiksa was like the N-word
Or at least that's how I perceived it
But it was said that way Mm-hmm
Like dirty whore.
Like, like that's, you know
Michael: Mm-hmm.
Audree: But we hold, we hold on to that
From the perspective of hurt and
pain and separation, perpetuating it
And I think it layers on
top of everything else.
I'm just saying for me, you know?
But that's, that's what we ⦠And then
we, we c- it's like that moment happened.
Oh.
But we, it's like, it's like one time I
had a, I, I think I've said this before,
I've, I had a- ⦠I had a blister on my
ankle, and I was at a stoplight, and I
noticed that I was pushing my foot into,
in, into that blister to keep hurting it.
And I was like, "What am I doing?"
Like, "Why am I doing this?"
But that's what we do to ourselves
over, and over, and over, and
over, years and years and years.
And yes, we had a traumatic moment,
and yes, it hurt, but why do we
perpetuate that hurt on ourselves?
Michael: Not why, but see how we are.
The, uh, you know what you're reminding
me of is like a f- few podcasts ago
you were talking about the story of,
like, why do you need to keep the story
about the abuse from your, your mother.
Audree: Mm-hmm.
Michael: Right?
Yeah.
And so this is like the, the
generalized version of that.
Audree: Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Michael: Like, why are we keeping on the
story of our identity, of the shame and
the pain and the blah, blah, blah, blah?
Like, like, we're holding
onto the past so tightly.
Audree: Or we project out into the
future, "Oh, you know, I'm, I'm
gonna have a meeting with my boss.
My boss hates me.
The meeting's not gonna go well."
Or, you know, "I'm gonna go see my family
and they're gonna, they're gonna be mean
to me," or, you know, "They're gonna,
you know, it's gonna be uncomfortable
at that party," or ⦠Like, we just
project things into the past, you know,
or perpetuate the past- In the future
and pain and suffering and- To create it
Michael: now
⦠Audree: perpetu- in, and
project into the future, which
the future's not even created.
Michael: We could- Well, we are
creating it when we do that.
Audree: I know.
Michael: That's the whole secret to life.
Audree: The universe.
Michael: And everything
And it's not like we're
trying to change our identity.
That's not what it is.
It's, it's about seeing the allegiance.
This is what was the, the unlock
was seeing the allegiance to all
the stories, all the past, because
that allegiance is the identity.
It's not like the identity's separate.
It's the allegiance to all of
those stories is the identity.
It's not like we're trying
to, oh, I gotta change my
identity, blah, blah, blah, blah.
That's not what we're talking about.
We're talking about seeing
the allegiance to all the past
challenges and suffering and
the story we have around it.
Maybe this is what the thing
is, it's the story we have
around it that it was all bad
And it was all problematic
and it was all painful
And understanding that while that
perspective is certainly a, a perspective
that exists, there's another greater
perspective which is seeing the
perfection in it all, of how all of
that was a gateway to move us forward
Audree: Right?
They s-- You know, there's this,
this saying, "Your greatest
gifts to bring to the world come
from your pain and suffering."
Michael: So I guess ultimately this
is the ultimate identity confusion.
It's, we think we're, uh, I feel like
I'm s-sounding a bit like John Mark
Stroud here, but we think we're a limited
body-mind and understanding everything
that's happening to us from an egoic
consciousness in perspective of limitation
and lack, and this is all suffering and
bad, to understanding our identity as
source consciousness, as never born,
never died, just in pure awareness that,
oh, wait a second, all of this needed
to happen for this journey to unfold
And that there's a perfection in it.
And it's not a, like a, the egoic
mind can never understand this.
It's, it's this, this development of
a stability of awareness outside of
the egoic consciousness, independent
of the egoic consciousness that when
it's stabilized long enough, when
there's been enough purification
that this, this awareness can lock in
Well, I guess we're not
even in the lock-in phase.
We're just in the rising and, you
know, who knows, you know, what the
next hours and days will be like?
Audree: Well, step one is awareness
Michael: Step two, awareness.
Step three, awareness
Audree: Right.
And when you have the awareness, you might
have that feeling deep inside your body
And you just breathe into it
and let it allow it to be there
Michael: Oh, you know what I'm getting?
Is like this, we talk about self-mastery,
self-mastery and understanding the
mechanics of creation, and also this
business of refining our awareness,
refining our awareness, refining our
awareness, refining our awareness.
And they're connected 'cause
we're refining our awareness of
the mechanics
of creation.
We're refining our awareness to more
and more, let's say, less gross, but
more and more subtle aspects of creation
To the point where we're seeing the
mechanics of creation at such a deep level
that it allows the undoing
It allows the undoing of the very root
Audree: Oh, you know why we're doing this?
We're getting ready to, to create
the new transformational audio,
the Red Arrows at ourselves
We're currently- Is that part
Michael: of the energy take
back one or is that different?
Audree: Mm-hmm.
So we're currently in a teaching a level
two foundations course, so that part
of it is teach a course, take a course.
Michael: Always.
Audree: And so we did this process
with our students last Friday.
Today is Friday.
The time is going by really fast.
And really
Michael: slow at the same time.
Audree: It's weird.
Um- It's
Michael: Friday, Friday
again, how did that happen?
Yeah.
And it's like, and like yesterday
seems like four months ago.
Audree: Yeah.
Michael: All at the same time.
Audree: So that's the process
we're gonna do with them today.
Michael: So we did version
one of the energy take back.
You're gonna do version two with them?
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Very good.
Yeah,
Audree: red arrows.
How we're, how we're-
Michael: Okay
⦠Audree: damaging ourselves.
Well,
Michael: I'm out this morning
doing the errands, so y- you
have time to do the scripts.
Audree: Yeah
Michael: Do you feel
energized around that?
Audree: It's amazing how
perfect life is, isn't it?
I feel like sharing this
story, so I'm going to.
So when I was pregnant with
my daughter, my first child
I, um, there was a bunch of stuff
going on where I was high risk
in my pregnancy very early on.
And
About, I was starting to go into my
fourth trimes- I mean, my, the fourth
month, which would be my second trimester.
The placenta started tearing off the
wall of my uterus, and I was m- like
mandatory bedridden, like I, 'cause
I was, I was, it was causing bleeding
and I could lose the, the child.
So I was going to Brennan School
of Healing at the time, and,
um, and so I went to my friend
Franny, who's an amazing healer.
And you know, I was like, "I kn-
I, you know, I wanna work on this
energetically," 'cause I know
energetically is the thing that's gonna
heal, heal me so I can keep the baby.
And, um, she brought me back.
You know, she was doing energy work but
also, you know, had me, had me just go in
and feel what, what's there, what's there.
And I had this sudden vision of myself
as a baby, like I was in my baby
body, in the nursery of the hospital.
And I opened my eyes and I looked and
in the window, the viewing window into
the nursery, was my biological mother,
and she was leaving the hospital
and she was saying goodbye to me for
the last, you know, the last time
And in my head, I was like s-
I was smiling and I was saying,
"Everything's gonna be okay."
And she, at the same time, she's
telling me, you know, um, "I'm, I,
I know that you need to be born,
and I know you're gonna be okay."
And I'm telling her,
"Yes, I'm gonna be okay.
Don't worry about me.
Everything's gonna be fine."
And I'm smiling at her
And so
50 something years later I
meet my biological family
And my sister, I meet my sister.
And my, my mother, my biological
mother went to the hospital, had
me, and to- and came back home and
told everybody that I died at birth.
She didn't tell anybody that she
gave me up for adoption until 2011.
And in 2011, it was a couple
weeks before she was about to die.
She was living in, with my, my s- sister.
My sister was taking care of
her 'cause she was a nurse
And she said, you know, she had a
full confession to my sister that I
didn't die at birth, that she gave
me up for adoption, go find her.
And then I guess my sister asked, like,
questions, and my mother told my sister
this story that before she left the
hospital, she went to the nursery to
see me for the last time, and I opened
my eyes and I smiled at her, and that's
how she knew that I was gonna be okay
I don't know why I'm telling that
story but I feel like it's important
It's like I, I know she had to give me up.
It was the right thing to do.
Mm.
It's, it's because she loved me
Michael: Hmm.
You know, I'mâ¦
Sorry.
Audree: Go ahead.
It's okay.
I was just thinking.
But I believed the lies of m- my,
the family that adopted me, that
there was something wrong with my
family, that I should be ashamed.
Mm-hmm.
That I was unworthy
That I was less than Mm.
You know?
Michael: Well, what I'm getting out of
this moment, so I don't know if it's
why you told the story or not, but
what I'm getting out of it is I, you
know, I think I l-look at my whole life
how, you know, I wanted to change my
circumstances and, you know, manifest or
create a different reality or change my
reality or change my experience of life
And I'm looking at what's in front
of me and what do I need to do,
and, and what I'm just getting
right now is, well, wait a second
I'm in this place.
Let's say I'm-- Let's say, you
know, I mean, this is actually
the truth of where you are.
You are in, you know, if we look
at the, the Matrix, um, the, the
construct, this, this pure white room
where you can create anything you want
That's where you are right now.
That's where everyone is right now.
But what happens is because we
have so much allegiance to all the
pain and suffering of all the past,
that's what we pollute the whole
white construct with immediately.
And then we try to find a little
space where we say, "No, but I wanna
create this other thing over here."
But the thing is, we've already filled
it with our allegiance to all the pain,
all the suffering, all the identification
with that whole storyline, and that's
what we're populating the construct with
that's creating our reality right now
and then we're trying to,
trying to do something about it
actively without addressing it.
So what I'm saying and what
I'm getting here right now is,
is looking at the mechanics of
creation at a very deep level.
There is nothing else other than to let
go of the past to create your future.
It's kind of like this.
It's like you're pulling a
You're trying to move forward when you're
being held back by your past, which is
like this, you know, 2,000 ton brick.
And you're saying, "Well,
I wanna create myâ¦
I wanna move forward.
I wanna create a new future.
I wanna get to somewhere different."
And it's like, well, you know, not,
not with that, with that, with that
load, you're not going anywhere.
Audree: Not with that attitude, honey.
Yeah.
Michael: And so this business of,
of clearing the triangles, of, of,
of letting go of the things coming
into awareness of what and who we are
I, I guess it's, you know, you know,
we, I, I don't think I've ever talked
about this so much, but is it coming to
awareness of what and who you are not?
is really what the journey's about.
Oh, there's all this stuff that
I think that I am that I am not.
Audree: That's when I had that
realization between Princess
Catherine and Meghan Markle.
Mm-hmm.
And it's just like Princess
Catherine just she's a princess.
I'm a princess.
I'm, you know, she's just very
comfortable in who and what she is-
Mm-hmm ⦠and the family that she's,
lives with, and i- in service to the
monarchy, and she's totally fine with it.
And Meghan Markle's like,
"I'm not fine with it.
I gotta, I have to leave, and this
place sucks, and I live in a palace."
And, like, you know, I mean- I'm
Michael: oppressed.
Audree: I'm oppressed
Right.
It's like we, we, we fuck it
up for ourselves when we have
the, the negative perspective
Instead of changing the situation
around by changing our thoughts about it
Michael: It's not about when we
have the negative perspective.
It's all the negative perspectives that
we have that are deeply held in our being
that we're not paying attention to- Yeah
that are there.
Audree: There you go
Right, and blaming it, it's
the person out there And
projecting it outside, yeah Yeah.
They're doing this to me.
It's like, n- n- no I'm being oppressed,
I'm being oppressed Well, I didn't
do it for you The world hates me.
No, no, no,
Michael: no, no.
We're oppressing ourselves.
We hate ourselves.
Audree: Yeah.
We're just not ⦠We're
refusing to see it
Michael: Or don't have the tools to
Audree: see it
Michael: Right?
Yeah.
A lot going on right now.
I feel like all of the mechanics
of creation- It's really
beautiful ⦠might be reorganizing
Audree: It's so beautiful when you,
when you see it from the other side
Michael: You know, uh,
Audree: And even when the love
is coming at you, you refuse it
because you wanna perpetuate the
identity and the story over here.
Of course.
Yeah.
So you have to refuse all the
good that's coming to you.
Mm-hmm.
'Cause it will change the story.
It will change the story
And you've got your allegiance
pledged over here to this story
Michael: Mm-hmm
Audree: So you cannot
let this other story in.
Michael: Mm-hmm.
Oh, yeah, I can feel that.
Mm-hmm
Right.
We're so busy with our allegiance to being
limited, you know, we can't even open up
the possibility, you know, what if it's
true that we are source consciousness
incarnated in the material plane?
Audree: Right
Michael: And how do you do that?
Audree: Just sitting with that
in your being for one moment
The rightness of it
It's like the great I am
I am that or I am that
Michael: Right.
It, well, I was thinking like, well, you
know, there's that Well, which am am I?
And then, and then there's
the I am not, right?
Audree: Yeah.
But we spend all the time in the I
am not- Yeah ⦠instead of the I am.
I am that I am
Infinite Ascended Master, I Am
It.
I am it.
Infinite ascended master in training.
I remember when I got that.
Right.
I was like, "Wha."
That was my whole entire vision
quest- Mm-hmm ⦠in Death Valley.
That was
Okay, and that was in 2011.
Why am I still here?
Like, well, that was the training
program that they told me I was in.
That's why when I read my journals
that I had for 20 years, I burned them.
All the channeling, all the stuff,
because I realized I was told that
in 1990, and here it was 2015, and I
was still processing the same shit.
So I just took all my journals and
I just burned them because I was
just like, "This is ridiculous."
It's just I'm cycling through the same
thing over and over and over again.
Michael: Hmm.
Well, that's what self-mastery is
It's not a cycle, it's
an upward spiral Mm-hmm.
But when we think it's a cycle, then
we don't understand what's actually
happening, and we don't value it.
Audree: Right.
Michael: I'll say that again.
If you think you're looping
through the same thing, you're not.
You're actually going in an upward spiral.
And that when you actually look
at it carefully, it's not the
same situation, it's not the same
awareness, not the same pain.
It's a, it's a different, more
refined level of awareness
greater levels of impact and
cascading shifts in your being
It's only the sabotage
that says it will never end
Audree: Mm-hmm.
Or the perception that it's the
same old shit over and over again
Michael: You know, every, you know, the
voice saying, "Oh, I'll never finish this.
I'll never make the journey.
I can't do it because of this," is
the ego consciousness saying, uh,
you know, s- saying, "Okay, I win.
We're not going on the journey.
Woo-hoo.
Gotcha."
And then eventually, you
know, something will happen.
Okay, anything more before we close?
Audree: No.
Michael: Okay, let's take three minutes.
Audree: All right.
Michael: Thank you for joining us
Let's be evolutionary
