200 Knowing Your True Self with Spiritual Channel Paul Selig Mar 08, 2019

Show notes

WARNING: THIS EPISODE IS ENERGETICALLY POTENT

Author Paul Selig has written 6 books as a channeling medium.

These are the result of wisdom that is channeled through a group of non-physical masters. Paul has recorded an extraordinary program for personal and planetary evolution as humankind awakens to its own divine nature.

Why is this important for performance?

Each of us is looking for purpose, meaning and depth in our lives. We crave it - but most of us don't have references or resources to seek out meaning. The wisdom that Paul channels provides us with universal wisdom that we can learn in order to better understand ourselves. Once we can better understand ourselves in a purposeful way, we can live a deeper and more optimal life.

During this episode, Paul transitions from a normal 1-on-1 conversation into a state in which he begins to channel the wisdom directly from his spiritual guides. He speaks repetitively as a way to receive the words and then speak them out loud.

What we cover in this episode:

• What is the small self?

• What are the mantras that will help us know ourselves?

• How does having a deeper spiritual awareness help us?

• What can we do to better serve and be more aligned with our highest self?
