Humility & Awakening
- By Steven North

To be a teacher in the spiritual community, there are a number of criterion that must be met, to say, pass the initiation. Some of these criterion is that the teacher/healer must know and have experienced what the darkness of humanity is like, they must walk their talk, they must not be in a mindset of ego (Human Mind) and that a teacher must be very careful of where they get their information from. The teacher is there to teach the truth, to teach empowerment and help people to connect to their own truth. This is why I’ve never read any books on what spirituality is because I’d rather discuss & learn through my own experiences and conversations with those that I feel connected with, such as Masters and channelled beings.
There are people that sit within the ego mindset and it raises the question as to whether or not that that person is really awake at all. This is because that the ego mind is very seductive and it knows what is trendy and hot. The ego mind will pretend, mimic what is supposed to do in order to keep the person asleep. Just because this person is curious about the spiritual path, have done a few courses, it does not necessarily mean that they have indeed awakened.
In one experience from 2015, a person was talking about awakening and yet, what was immediately visible was the ego mindset that needed to validate itself. In truth, there was no reason to go all out and attempt to justify themselves and they did not see their own human mind (what humanity calls ego) talking. It really was an intriguing experience.
The awakening process comes with humility, it comes with a feeling of not knowing, it comes with realising that you do not know anything but you have a desperate need to learn or we should say remember because no soul is without wisdom. However, many are cloaked from their own wisdom and so the human mind driven are really just asleep as those whom are not on any sort of spiritual path. The only difference between the two is that those attempting to walk the path with their eyes closed can awaken, they are actually closer than you might think.
The person must be willing to do the time, put in the work and be willing to change, be open to admitting that they are wrong or that their teachers were wrong and in some cases be open to the idea that they are, as all the rest, humble and with this humility, opens a floodgate of awareness.
the ego always has to know, has to be right
It is the laying the ego aside, the ego always has to know, has to be right, but when you admit that you do not know, in that moment of humility, you become connected to the perceived separation that the ego feeds off of, dissolved and you merge with the all once more.
In my own experience over the past few years, many people have been connected and clung on to the idea of being in a past life, there are many people posting about being star seeds, going on about which planetary system that they are from, talking about being some celestial being or from a specialised group. These people are not living in the now, they are creating an identity, a false identity and it also living in the past.
Past Lives can get very ego driven
The idea of past lives can get very ego driven and whilst it is important to know whom you were and often needed in order to heal in the present, there can be a more ego-based desire to know. Identity is absolutely ego driven, the need to be special and different, the truth is that each soul is special and unique, so people do not need to try so hard but instead just be themselves. Once they do this, they will then be delighted and if they aren’t, if it is their truth, then it is ok. If it is coming from their heart but most people, well many people are not connected to their hearts, let alone their souls.
I once fell for this trap a number of years ago, thinking that being from another planetary system meant that I was special. It meant absolutely nothing because I live on this planet right now. What it provided was an explanation at the time for why things did not feel as comfortable at the time compared to other soul memories. The only thing that matters in this lifetime is to step away from knowing, stepping into the notion of ‘not knowing’ and aligning oneself with their own soul wisdom.
Fragmenting Our Identities (Rebecca Dawson)
Rebecca Dawson via Master Kuthumi speaks on the topic of “Fragmenting Our Identities”. Where we step into the doorway of not knowing. Where it is only possible to get through the doorway by shedding our identity. This is one very important read for all.
It is about being willing to drop any idea that you have about who you are (Master Kuthumi & Rebecca Dawson)
