Stranger things have happened to me more in the last year than in my entire 24 years of life.

What used to frighten me and keep me up at night now seems dull and uninspired.

So this year, to honor my favorite national holiday (second only to my birthday, of course) I decided to begin a series of conversations between myself and the Akashic Records about the REALLY spooky curiosities of my mind. The terrifying and paralyzing fears that limit our own potential and keep us complacent to our own chains of social and parental conditioning.

I’m calling this the Spooktober Shadow Series and as time permits, I will publish Tarot Readings and Akashic sessions here, on social media and on YouTube that delve deep into our collective psyches and illuminate our own Shadow aspects that bind our potential.

Demons? Been there, done that. Witches? It me. Ghosts? More lively than most of the actual living beings I’ve encountered. None of these frighten me.

Trigger my need to be liked/accepted and my unrealistic self-imposed standard of perfection that inevitably sets me up for disappointment ONE time and I’m shaking like a chihuahua on drugs!!!

Consider this series my love letter to my own Shadow, as well as yours. By illuminating my Self to my own potential for darkness, I also liberate my Self. My only wish and intention in publishing these conversations between my Self and the Divine is to also help illuminate and thus free you from the shackles of fear.

After all, it’s Halloweentime. It’s primetime to indulge all that is spooky and what frightens us more than our own Truth?

Shall we begin? Read on…if you DARE ~*Thriller Maniacal Laughter Here*~

Akashic Session: Punishment

As always, this conversation was between my Self and the Akashic Records with full disclosure that I intended to publish the information channeled. What follows is an exact transcript of the question & answer segment of the session.

Does God really send people to Hell? Does God punish us for our sins? If so, to what extent?

God does not and will not ever punish a reflection of Godliness. All carry God within and so all are synonymous with God energy. Why would God punish God? What human beings label as karma or Godly punishment is actually the cyclical law of nature: what one gives, one receives. That is all. God does not condemn a person nor rewards. God freely and openly blesses all of his infants but only few choose to truly listen and embody God’s teachings.

Human beings condemn themselves when they choose to act against their very nature, which again, is Godliness. Every person has good in them. Every person has bad in them. What you choose to act on is where your loyalty truly is and that is not condemnable. Merely a personal choice. To rebel against your own mercy and good nature is to inevitably suffer as you struggle to return home to yourself. That is the only punishment that exists and if you come to the conclusion that it sounds self-imposed then you would be right.

What is the purpose of the 7 deadly sins? Where did they originate from?

The 7 deadly sins originated from ancient mythology similar to that of the 10 commandments. Both these concepts should be revered as suggestions and even observations rather than rigid Holy Law. The 7 deadly sins are the most disadvantageous energies to carry and act upon. Nothing more, nothing less. Their purpose is to help a living being understand that to entertain these “sins” is to betray your own compassion and capacity for love. Take Wrath for example. When you embody Love and Mercy, when you come to the knowing that all are One and you accept this knowing, then it becomes impossible to harm another through Wrath. When a person chooses to allow undisciplined pain and anger to dictate their actions and they brutely indulge in Wrath, then they move themselves further and further away from their own joy. Again, self imposed punishment. How can you wish to be a happy person while simultaneously causing harm to another? It simply does not add up.

 Where did this need for punishment as motivation to do right come from?

From religious doctrine and a belief that man is inherently selfish. Whether that is true or not remains to be seen. Even if a human were to be ridiculously selfish, to the extent that is accused, a “bad thing” would still be subjective. Many circumstances were uncertain and the world was quickly changing back then. So many perspectives, the Truth being too subjective. Someone needed to be the voice of morality and reason, and who better to put that responsibility on but God? However, God never intended God’s Word to be law. Nothing is Law. All is heartfelt guidance.

How can the world at large be expected to uphold uniform standards of morality in the absence of brutal punishment as consequence? And so a system of social control was established. Whether that was for better or for worse for humanity is a different story and one we can go in depth if you’d like us to, but for the purposes of this short video content, the simple answer is a need for social control and uniform morality.

So what is the Truth? Are human beings just born bad? Are we born sinners? Are we born paying a moral debt?

Human beings are not born bad at all, not inherently anyway. If a Soul chooses the experience of being a moral disruptor and cruel then that serves a specific purpose to that Soul and so be it. This person will undoubtedly challenge other Souls to choose who they are in the face of violence and evil. These Souls, no matter how evil and wrong they appear to be in their lifetime, are not inherently so. They are merely serving a purpose. Provoking the question: how much evil and destruction can I get away with before someone tries to stop me? Before human beings begin to care for another?

Even what is perceived as Evil serves a higher purpose in the evolution of a person and society. No one is born indebted to a silent God and no one sinned to begin with so no, original sin is not real. It is only as real as any other opinion and perspective. Only as real as your definition of real goes.

What can we, as human beings, do to begin forgiving ourselves rather than punishing ourselves?

Excellent question. The answer lies within the question. The question IS the answer. By expressing a desire to forgive yourself, you are already showing capabilities of forgiveness and mercy. First, forgive yourself for allowing social conditioning to dictate your limitations. Seek therapy, seek counseling, seek healers, seek God Almighty. Seek whatever method of introspection and self examination that you wish. Then, the natural next step is to forgive others. Those that have hurt you and those that have yet to hurt you. Mercy and forgiveness takes practice when you have spent a lifetime being told you are wrong and incapable of thinking for yourselves. Therefore, practice. Be realistic and grounded in your approach to healing. Not everything is your fault. It could never be. See yourself and others as you are not for how you and others are perceived and painted as. Be honest about who this person inside of you is. That voice is God. All are but reflections of the Creator. How could God withhold forgiveness from God itself?

So does Hell exist? At all?

No. It does not exist as a real Truth. It only exists as a perspective. It is a dream state. For the purposes of this video, we will refer to Hell as a conceptual dream state. Some, many in fact, have the ability to control the environment and circumstances within their dreams. You have a say in what goes on and what messages you receive during the dream state. Hell only exists as a conceptual place. A constructed existence that may be experienced if you wish to see it but does it exist as a real place, a real prison of eternity? Absolutely not. You can go there and come back out as you please, just like you can go anywhere you want to in the dream state.

So if punishment doesn’t exist, then what prevents us as a human race from acting in brutality against one another? How can we maintain any form of integrity if left to our own devices?

You’re forgetting the Law of Nature. What one gives, one also receives. If one wishes to be a happy and abundant person then one must aspire to create opportunities for others to be happy and abundant as well. You do not need control. Humans need opportunity. Equal opportunity. Equal access to resources. Eliminate the belief that only certain groups are deserving of a dignified lifestyle, provide for each other’s basic survival needs and that will do great things for eliminating the need for thievery and selfish conquest. You can and will maintain integrity because deep down, all know that separation and unworthiness are completely false. All are One, infinitely connected to the other and deserving because of all being connected to God.

When humans understand that individual greatness is meaningless and collective good is more advantageous to ALL, then humans will see value in unity and protecting this unity. All will know peace and none will go hungry. All will achieve this state of awareness. One way or another, a Soul always returns to its point of origin: God.

Amen.
