00:31-00:37
Keri Muggs. And this week, we're going to talk about our higher selves. So when I first started
00:37-00:43
going through my spiritual awakening and I kind of didn't know anything about anything, when I would
00:43-00:46
read or people would say, you need to connect to your higher self, I didn't understand what that
00:46-00:55
meant. And it kind of, because you think of something outside yourself, which kind of is, but not. And so
00:55-01:01
I kind of want to explain in this episode what your higher self is and how you can connect to that
01:01-01:12
and what it may not be. So our higher selves are definitely our authentic selves and who we truly
01:12-01:21
are deep, deep within us. Our higher selves know us unconditionally. So I'm just going to give you a
01:21-01:29
little bit of an example. So I want you to figure, I want you to imagine a ball of energy, like this
01:29-01:37
perfect ball of energy, and that's your soul. That is, there's no body, there's no, there's no labels.
01:37-01:44
It's just who you are authentically, perfectly, what you love, what you desire, all the things. Now, part of
01:44-01:51
that ball of energy, that soul decides that it wants to experience things. So it takes a little bit of
01:51-01:58
that light or that energy, and it creates a spirit like a, so if you think of a piece of coral, a big
01:58-02:05
piece of coral, and then it's got little shoot offs in it, I want you to think of a shoot off. So there's a
02:05-02:11
shoot off of that energy. And that energy wants to experience things. So that energy has a shoot off,
02:11-02:18
and it's called a spirit. And it goes to wherever you want to experience these things. It can go to a body on
02:18-02:24
earth, it can go to a different place, a different realm, a different wherever you want to experience this.
02:24-02:32
Your soul wants to experience maybe a lifetime on earth. And let's say it wants to experience your lifetime in
02:32-02:38
1920. So it sends this little energy, a little ball of energy. And where do you think your energy came from?
02:38-02:44
Your ball of light that makes your soul is created from the Creator, right? So it just kind of goes.
02:44-02:51
So you send this little ball of energy to earth and put it inside of a body. So a body is like a car,
02:51-02:57
you get inside the car, and you drive it to where you want it to go. And then you kind of make the car
02:57-03:03
come alive. The car is as it is, but when you get in it, you make the car come alive. That's what this
03:03-03:11
energy from your soul does. It takes a little bit of part of its energy, your soul, sends it down to
03:11-03:17
this body on earth. And then it's created this little spirit. And so the spirit resides in the body. So
03:17-03:24
this spirit of your resides in the body. And then you're born. And you come into this earth with this
03:24-03:31
body and you know nothing. Like all you know is your authentic self of who you are, your soul,
03:31-03:37
your soul. And on earth, it's harder because the veil, because there's a veil. And so we don't remember
03:37-03:42
and we don't remember any kind of past lives or anything that we've ever done or any kind of other
03:42-03:48
type of experiences that our souls have. We don't remember it on earth because the earth is three
03:48-03:52
dimensional. And earth doesn't let you remember that stuff because of the 3d density, right?
03:52-04:01
So we spend this lifetime having the experiences that our soul wanted. Our soul, that's the blueprint.
04:01-04:08
Our soul created this blueprint that our soul wanted to have experiences. It's not a test or fail type of
04:08-04:14
thing. It's just our soul created this with other souls before we came here. And we decided this is
04:14-04:20
what we want to experience. And so each tiny spirit that you send down in different lifetimes, like in
04:20-04:29
1920, 1950, 2025, those are different spirits that very much live, but they can, when they pass over and
04:29-04:35
transform, they go back to your soul. So, but even though they're part of, it's like an ocean,
04:35-04:42
one drop of the ocean, that drop is individual, but it's part of a whole. So it's, so our spirits,
04:42-04:48
we have lots of, so like a big piece of coral has lots of little different shootouts. Our,
04:48-04:52
we have lots of spirits that experience lots of things, but they always come back to the soul,
04:52-04:58
but our spirits are still individual. We still have these things, these, and they combine to make
04:58-05:04
our soul. I know it's kind of hard to understand, but so as you are right now, you're a spirit,
05:04-05:12
you're that soul, that energy of that soul is in your body and it's creating, it's the, it's kind of
05:12-05:19
like inside your body, which is inside the car. And the spirit is that energy is driving, driving the car,
05:19-05:26
driving the body. And so then a lot of things come into play. So you are born and you don't know
05:26-05:33
anything. You just know who you are authentically. That soul is part of, is who you are. Your soul is
05:33-05:39
your authentic self. It's who you are. And when you're born, you don't, you don't know any different,
05:39-05:45
right? You don't, if you, um, there was a book I was reading that gave a great thing when you were
05:45-05:50
little and you cried because you were hungry. And if nobody fed you, you just cried, but you didn't
05:50-05:54
think anybody didn't love you, right? Like you didn't think, oh, my mom doesn't love me because
05:54-05:58
she's not. Now there can be trauma attached to that, like abandonment trauma and things like that,
05:58-06:07
even when you're little, but more so as you progress or as you grow, you become accustomed to
06:07-06:14
your surroundings and who you are. And you have these belief systems set in place, which is religion.
06:14-06:22
Well, you're given a name, you're given a number and you're, um, where you're born. Like if you're born
06:22-06:30
in, in the United States or somewhere international or in a tribal form, it's all those start to,
06:30-06:38
you start to take on those belief systems. And so they can be false beliefs. Religion could be good
06:38-06:44
and bad. It can have some lots of false beliefs in it that attribute to who you become or these,
06:44-06:50
these things, these false beliefs, they outside of you shape your personality and shape who you are.
06:50-06:57
So from day one, when you get here, you're given a name, you're given a religion, and you're given
06:57-07:03
beliefs of your parents and you're given all of this stuff that already starts to create this spirit.
07:04-07:10
But deep down authentically, you know truth, your soul knows truth, this is your higher self.
07:10-07:16
So when I give readings, and I give an example of how they go, I always say, imagine yourself
07:16-07:22
sitting at a restaurant, at a table with a blindfold on, and around the table are all your past loved ones.
07:22-07:27
And they're all trying to talk to you at once. And you, whoever makes the loudest noise or whoever
07:27-07:34
gets the most attention wins. And that's kind of what goes on with your spirit. All this outside
07:34-07:39
noise is making all of these, they're yelling and screaming at you to go this way and that way and
07:39-07:45
what you what you want and what you need to do and this belief in this religion in this and whoever
07:45-07:51
screams the loudest gets the most attention. That's why whatever you focus your energy on the most is
07:51-07:57
what is what grows because that's just kind of how it is. Because that's what you start to create
07:57-08:03
because your soul and your spirit create can create your life. But when we're taught and told
08:03-08:10
how to do it, then it makes it complicated, especially by governments and religions and all of that stuff.
08:10-08:16
So when you need to connect to your higher self, you need to connect back to that soul,
08:17-08:24
you need to close down and shut down all those voices around the table. You need to because what
08:24-08:31
happens is your your spirit and your belief system, it wants validation from all those voices around the
08:31-08:37
table. It wants to your spirit wants to be like, okay, I want to do this, but I want validation for that.
08:37-08:45
And it needs validation from parents or grandparents or office bosses, you know, friends, family, it just
08:45-08:51
needs all of that validation. And in career, it needs like validation from other people, mentors, things
08:51-09:00
like that. And so when you really get quiet and listen to your soul and listen to what you want,
09:00-09:05
not what everybody's telling you what you want, not how everybody tells you how to do it.
09:06-09:11
And false belief goes as far as like thinking you have attachments to your families, or you owe your
09:11-09:17
children things, or you owe, you owe people things, because that's what we're taught. We're taught all
09:17-09:22
of this stuff. And we're taught that we need to help others, or we're selfish, we're we taught that we're,
09:22-09:29
we need to go in this direction, or we're not doing it right. And these all all these beliefs are created
09:29-09:35
by all the voices around this table. They're not, they're created by man, they're created by
09:35-09:43
this where we're at, they're all of these voices. So we have to stop sometimes and listen to our own. That's why a
09:43-09:49
lot of times back in the day, people would say that the highest frequency you can be on is love and gratitude. But
09:49-09:55
really, the highest frequency beyond is your authenticity. Because when you're authentic, you are listening to your
09:55-10:02
soul, you're shutting down all the voices around the table. And you're listening to what you want. Now you have to be honest with
10:02-10:10
yourself to do you want to be this because you want it? Do you want to be skinny? Because you want it? Or do you want it? Because
10:10-10:15
that's what society thinks you need to be? Do you want to be beautiful? Because you want it? Or because
10:15-10:22
society says you need to be? Do you want to be young? Because society tells you that growing and aging is bad
10:22-10:30
or not good. All of these things were created by a society or a culture. Because in some cultures,
10:30-10:37
growing old is beautiful. And growing old is spiritual. And but in some cultures, it's not some
10:37-10:43
cultures, it's considered like, look at Hollywood, Hollywood does all these things to try and stop to
10:43-10:48
look, stop looking old, when actually, it's beautiful. It's a beautiful thing. And weight,
10:48-10:54
weight is a thing to back in the day, you used to be considered beautiful, if you were a little bit
10:54-11:00
obese, because it meant that you were very wealthy, and you were taken care of, and you ate well. And so
11:00-11:06
the society, I mean, that's another thing to what we believe in is because that's what we're told to
11:06-11:12
believe. And so you really have to be and but then sometimes you can also be like, I want to be thinner,
11:13-11:16
because I want to be stronger, I want to feel healthier. That's you. That's your authentic
11:16-11:21
self. That has nothing to do with anybody else outside yourself. If you're like, I want to be
11:21-11:27
thinner, because my husband wants that that's not your authentic self. So and sometimes your authentic
11:27-11:32
self can be lazy and slothful, because that's the kind of life you want this time around. And sometimes
11:32-11:36
your authentic self can be hustle, hustle, hustle, because that's the kind of life you want this time
11:36-11:42
around. That's why you really got to stop all the outside voices, social media, news, all the things.
11:42-11:47
And you got to and your family and your friends, everybody telling you da da da da, this is how it
11:47-11:55
works. And you got to focus on what you want and what you believe. So when you are after a goal,
11:55-12:02
and I have to admit, I even do this, like, this last couple years, I've been after a goal for my
12:02-12:06
business. My goal has always been to help people. But I've always looked at other mediums and said,
12:07-12:10
well, that's how they do it. That's how I'm supposed to do it. And that's not what I want.
12:10-12:18
That's not what I want. And so I would, I would create my career and my gift on what other mediums
12:18-12:24
were doing. And it wasn't until recently that I'm like, God, is that what I really want? Is that what
12:24-12:29
I really want to do? Is that just going to be, is it going to make it crazier? Is it going to make it,
12:29-12:34
do I want that because that's what I want? And, or is it because that's what I've been told to do?
12:34-12:42
And sometimes you just want peace, right? And when we want peace, that's at our core. That's in our
12:42-12:49
soul. That's who we are authentically. We're not doing things for others because they want us to,
12:49-12:56
and we think we're selfish if we're not. We're doing things because we want to. And that's why.
12:56-13:03
And so, and that's why sometimes you can do things seem so natural. And so, you know,
13:03-13:06
but then we do this guilt thing because we're taught if you don't do it this way,
13:06-13:12
you're doing it the wrong way. So that's what your higher self is. Your higher self is this ball of
13:12-13:19
energy that exists. It's kind of like the matrix. If you've ever watched the matrix, it, it kind of
13:19-13:25
exists outside of yourself somewhere else, but it's inside who you are. That's why everything you need
13:25-13:31
is already inside of you, but that energy. So this is just a piece of that energy that you have inside
13:31-13:39
of you that creates your spirit, that houses, that houses the body. There's another part of that soul.
13:39-13:46
Like let's say 90% of it somewhere else, like creating that energy, doing that energy. That's where people
13:46-13:53
transition to so-called heaven, right? Or wherever that transition is. So that, so when you have a loved
13:53-14:00
one on earth and they transition and they die, they don't go back, they do go back to their soul,
14:00-14:07
but they don't cease to exist because they, they exist, they exist with the soul or inside the soul
14:07-14:12
or all of that. So they're always an individual. That's why if you ever go to a psychic medium
14:12-14:18
or medium and they tell you that somebody is reincarnated, like, let's say, so my dad has passed.
14:18-14:26
My dad died in 1999. So let's say he's reincarnated, but if, or his, his soul has picked another spirit
14:26-14:33
to come to earth, but his spirit as my dad still exists. It, it doesn't come back to earth. That
14:33-14:40
spirit part, that part of his soul always will be Bill Bingham, but his soul can be, you know,
14:40-14:48
it gets so over your head. But the main part of it is your soul is your higher self. And that's what
14:48-14:53
you want to connect to. And that's, you want to connect to an ancient part of you who knows the
14:53-14:59
best, who knows all the things you love, who does things because that's what you want. Not because of
14:59-15:05
what everybody else wants, because of what you want, who has peace and who has quiet and who has,
15:05-15:11
um, love for who you are. And it's not based on conditions. Your love isn't based on conditions.
15:11-15:17
So that's how you connect to your higher self and how, or who your higher self is. Now, the way that
15:17-15:23
you can connect to your higher self is to quiet your mind. That's why meditation is huge. That's why
15:23-15:29
everybody's like, well, meditation, meditation, because your soul or your higher self can, can connect to
15:29-15:37
you and, and communicate with you. And so when I do readings, psychicness is when you connect soul to
15:37-15:42
soul, so you can connect to somebody's soul. And mediumship is when you connect to spirits on the
15:42-15:48
other side, so I can connect to their spirits, who they were at that time, right? And sometimes I can
15:48-15:55
even connect to their souls. Okay, so that's why sometimes when you have an ancestor or a loved one
15:55-16:00
who has, who has Alzheimer's and sometimes they can show up for readings, but they're still alive on
16:00-16:06
earth. It's because I'm connected to their soul. So sometimes that happens too. It's such a huge thing,
16:06-16:13
but what you need to remember is your soul is your higher self. And that's who you are completely
16:13-16:21
authentically and no if, ands, or buts. That's why you don't ever need outside validation. You just need
16:21-16:25
insight because your soul will tell you truth. Your soul, that's why you get goosebumps. That's
16:25-16:30
why you get, because your soul knows truth, your truth, and your truth always isn't what's the truth
16:30-16:36
for everybody. Because everybody's here to, everybody's soul's here to different, to experience different
16:36-16:41
things. There was a book I was reading called Embraced by Light by Betty Jean Eadie. And she says in
16:41-16:48
there that there was an alcoholic on the street and that his spirit was beautiful. And his spirit was so
16:48-16:57
high frequency, but he wanted to, he wanted to exist in this lifetime and learn what it was like to be
16:57-17:03
in that state. And that's what he chose. And so that's why you kind of never judge anybody because,
17:03-17:10
you know, we never, we never know. That's why if there is somebody like right now that you really
17:10-17:17
love and they're like really stuck in this, in this rut of like maybe say religion, or it's because
17:17-17:22
that's what they chose for this lifetime, for that moment. That's why you can't really choose for
17:22-17:28
anybody. And you can't tell people how to do things and you can't tell people how to change or how to
17:28-17:33
live their life because their soul knows what they're supposed to be doing. Now, can you come here and be
17:33-17:39
lazy and not do the soul work? Yeah, you can. And that, and when you get to transition to the other
17:39-17:44
side, you're going to look at that and be like, oh crap, you'll now have to do it again, or you're going to want to do it again.
17:44-17:52
So, but your soul just really connect to your soul and that is your higher self. And that is who you
17:52-17:59
truly are, who you truly are through thick and thin, what you love, all the things like just deep, deep
17:59-18:06
things. Like if you love truth and you want truth to be told to everybody, or if you love freedom, or if you
18:06-18:16
love gratitude, if you love compassion, those are, those come from your soul. And so all the other stuff, like religion
18:16-18:25
and things like that, that all comes from, that's all here on earth man-made. And that comes, and if that feeds your soul,
18:25-18:32
and if that makes you happy, then that's, that's what your soul wants to experience this time around. So, so that's your higher
18:32-18:40
self and when if you so I'm guessing I'm just trying to tell you that when you want to connect
18:40-18:45
to your higher self just shut out all of the people around the table all of the things around
18:45-18:49
the table all the social media all the news outlets all of the people all the politics all
18:49-18:55
the government all the religious stuff and listen to your gut listen to who you want to be and
18:55-19:01
listen to what you want to accomplish not what other people tell you what's the next step to
19:01-19:06
what you know if you're in you know school and you want to be a doctor and you want to help people
19:06-19:11
and the next step of obviously you need to follow those things but what if you go to school and then
19:11-19:18
you end up going in and you spend lots and lots of money on on school and on your career and then you
19:18-19:23
start doing it you're like this isn't for me but you're just like but I spent so much money and so
19:23-19:28
people will think that I'm crazy or I'll think I'm crazy my spouse will think I'm crazy I spent all this
19:28-19:33
time and I have to raise these kids and I don't like what I do and they're embarrassed and you don't
19:33-19:37
want people to think less of you and you you feel stuck and you have you have all these bills to pay
19:37-19:44
and you have kids to raise and then your soul you get depressed and you get uncomfortable because
19:44-19:50
you're not being authentic because you have you're stuck in what you've created and so stuff like that
19:50-19:55
is hard it's so hard because our culture teaches you you just you just muddle through it you get through
19:55-20:01
money's important and all of that stuff that's why why you see so many people just like quitting
20:01-20:08
their jobs and going and rving or or or I have a friend that that sold her house and took her kids
20:08-20:16
to they live on a boat and they travel on a boat and it's not easy and it may seem like it on social
20:16-20:22
media but she goes through their trials still but they they they listened to their soul she knew that
20:22-20:27
that's what and that is not by any means a normal thing to do you know you don't just like sell all
20:27-20:32
your stuff and sell your belongings and become a minimalist minimalist and sell on a boat through
20:32-20:38
the caribbeans you don't that's not what normal normal people do but that's what she does and that's
20:38-20:43
what she loves and that's what feeds her soul and that's what you've got to figure out is what is it
20:43-20:50
that you love what is it and and I know that you know when you have families sometimes you feel stuck
20:50-20:56
in that and there can be seasons so right now when I was a single mom of four I couldn't all of a sudden
20:56-21:01
be like this is what I want to do because I chose to have four children that I wanted to raise and and
21:01-21:06
and so I went through that season and now I'm at a season where I'm like okay what do I want to do
21:06-21:14
seasons change and my soul at that time wanted to be a mom my soul that's what made my soul happy
21:14-21:21
now that is over for me and my soul is moving on to different things now I'm still a mom but my kids
21:21-21:28
can take care of themselves so now my soul is like what's next and so that's your higher self your higher
21:28-21:35
self is who you truly deeply are who you feel most comfortable being and who you need to listen
21:35-21:42
to the most not all the talk around you so I really hope that helps you guys I'm sorry if some of it was
21:42-21:46
so confusing and so deep but that's you know and in 10 years I do reserve the right to change my mind
21:46-21:53
and can say okay this is different because you know I say all the time spiritualism is not box it's not in a
21:53-21:57
box it's not this isn't how it works all the time sometimes other things can come through and you can be
21:57-22:02
like oh this is different than what I thought and that's okay but right now as of this moment
22:02-22:09
this is how I see your soul and your higher self and there's lots of souls out there um your guides
22:09-22:15
that are with you that help you these spirits they are trying to help you connect to your soul
22:15-22:21
that's what they're doing and most most of the time your higher self you do have a main guide but
22:21-22:32
your soul is your main anchor your main your soul is the one who's saying this is what you really want
22:32-22:38
and your guides are just trying to lead you to what your soul wants your blueprint the blueprint that
22:38-22:44
your soul created so I hope that helps I hope that makes it a little bit more understandable it kind of
22:44-22:48
like you know just take what resonates with you and leave what doesn't because your soul knows truth so
22:48-22:57
I hope that helps you guys I hope you understand it I love you guys oh um I think I have some more
22:57-23:02
right now I have my gallery this coming Saturday and it's sold out but I do have some more stuff coming
23:02-23:08
up for the year if it feels right for my soul right because I was doing these things because that's what
23:08-23:14
mediums do that's what they do but I'm looking at myself going what do I really want and how does that
23:14-23:20
really work for me and what's really in the cards so so you know new things are coming but it's going
23:20-23:25
to be because they line with me not because that's what I'm supposed to be doing so I love you guys so
23:25-23:28
much and I will see you guys um in a couple weeks
