Step 3: Embody the Lesson

It’s time to work on getting the lesson behind your current Soul- level challenge. At this point, you’re probably looking at yourself in a very different way. In this step, we take advantage of that. You’ll see changes start to show up in bits and pieces in your world.

Intellectual understanding is the result of research, classes, trying new tools and techniques, reading books, talking with friends, and more. It is an outwardly focused way of functioning, and it results in a lot of knowledge—not much of which is practical. I’ve worked with many people who did not realize they were playing the role of the perpetual student—absorbing all the spiritual and self-help information out there, but not advancing in life. It’s great to learn all about how energy works or how to talk with your Guides or what your Seed Thoughts and contracts are—but if you don’t take action, this information is worthless.

In Soul System work, awareness and understanding can only open your eyes to what is going on. You could spend years researching this stuff. You could come live with me as my student, but until you shifted yourself out of perpetual-student mode and moved into action mode, you would not make the deep, Soul-level shifts you are looking for. To embody the lesson, you are going to have to feel. You’re also going to have to get dirty and take risks. Your emotions may get messy—and perhaps you’ll even lose yourself for a while. That’s as it should be. It’s not about looking at how your Soul System functions from the outside—it’s about feeling how it functions within you. That’s the embodiment you are looking for. We’re not using microscopes to understand how life comes together—you know that! We’re getting down and dirty, picking up the yuck, tasting life, spitting out what we don’t like, and becoming one with what works. This is true embodiment. So get ready to feel, experience, and really live this stuff. It’s part of your life now—so no microscopes, no more school. Just bring your true, authentic self to the table.

Freedom From the Past

An attachment to the past can stand in the way of embodying your lesson. If you are reminded that your history is plagued with failure every time you think about finally being able to make money or freeing yourself from being so critical, you will struggle more with the upcoming work. Most of all, you want to be able to look at events in your life. You want to properly release your past so that you can learn from it, rather than be held back.

If you re-experience emotional turmoil whenever you think of your childhood—that incident in school or the time your family went bankrupt—how can you get true perspective on your past? You can use an energetic exercise I call the “bubble disconnect” to move into a beautiful, calm, objective place regarding those difficult moments. When you can be objective, you’ll entertain different viewpoints, new ideas, and perhaps even rediscover your own experience in a completely fresh way.
