Episode 13: Why Your Inner Spirit Must Be Your Best Friend

When you are powerfully connected to your own inner being like you would be to a best friend, you open up a highly intuitive understanding of why things are the way they are in your life. Having this level of clarity will also allow you to see through the fog of social programming and conditioning, which in turn allows you to detect what your next move should be when it comes to dealing with certain situations in your life.

Simply put: There’s no need to look outside of yourself for answers when your inner spirit –the spark of The Divine within you – becomes your best friend.  All the answers to anything you want to know is right there inside of you.

I harmonize in order to survive, modeling instinct. I seal the store of life force with the galactic tone of integrity. I am guided by the power of universal water.

Welcome to episode 13 of the Cosmic Celebrity Podcast here at athenalucene.com. On this episode, I’ll be talking to you about why your inner spirit must be your best friend. You’ll also receive intuitive divine downloads that will naturally heal your energy and realign it to your unique vibrational frequency that is you, your soul essence, that is here on the earth planetary construct having what I call a Cosmic Celebrity experience.

So when you are powerfully aligned with your unique energetic imprint — that unique spark of the divine that is you — and it is expressed and expanded in an aligned way, in the way you live your life, in the way you do life — the way you live your truth and speak your truth, I call that embodying or being your best version of your Cosmic Celebrity.

So when I say your inner spirit, what I mean by that is your soul essence — essentially your soul essence, your spirit within, the part of you that is connected to the divine, higher mind consciousness, right? Of the All That Is.

And when you powerfully — through spirituality, through your spiritual growth, through your spiritual connection — when you powerfully connect with this divine essence, your inner being, you start to understand more intuitively the things in your life — why they’ve happened, how they’ve occurred, why they’ve occurred the way they have … Your relationships, the way they mirror to you and why they’re mirroring to you a specific way. You start receiving certain clarity.

Go Within

And the reason I say why your inner spirit must be your best friend is because often times, a lot of times, I find that spiritually gifted persons, you tend to just go around on autopilot looking for other people’s projections and person’s approval and validation of you and persons advices and suggestions about your own life, instead of powerfully connecting with your own inner being who knows so much more than you have remembered about your life and the reason you came here and the intentions — all the intricacies of your intentions — about all the things that you willed are meaning and intended to have by coming here and collecting life experiences, and shifting your consciousness, and expanding your soul.

Your soul knows everything about you, because your soul is an aspect of yourself that is powerfully connected to divine source energy, right? It’s a part of you that’s connected to The All That Is — The Creator; and therefore, why would you then come and live life without being connected to your soul, your inner being, your inner spirit? Because, that is the essence of you that knows the truth of you — the higher truth of you, the higher knowing of you. So there is nothing in your life that you can ever possibly have unclarity about, unless you are disconnected from this aspect of yourself.

And through social programming and various life experiences — your relationships and the projections, and the co-creation of other experiences with other persons and their stuff and their limitations and their disconnections — you know, all of a sudden, it just becomes this big fog of just unclarity about who you really are on your soul essence.

It’s so easy because of social programming, and so many other programming and conditioning, that you’ve endured throughout your life that has encouraged you to look external, look outside of who you are and outside of you for questions to be answered — the questions and the answers that you seek — and for the sense of guidance and the sense of knowing and the sense of how can you make sense of this life? What direction should you take? How can you learn more about your abilities and exactly what they are, and how they can serve you as powerful tools in your life, and how they can actually be a blessing to you and to others.

And through social programming and through dogmatic limited language — use of language, which also has energy, words also have energy, everything is energy — and through so many various channels, you have believed the illusion that it’s about looking outside of you for the understanding of everything that’s going on within you.

And so, through these conditioning, you’re not programmed, or you are not conditioned to look within and connect with your inner spirit. Because once you have that connection with your inner spirit, there is no more lack of clarity, because it’s just a matter of remembering something else that you need to remember so that you can be guided intuitively in your decision making, in your day to day life — even from as little as what route to work you should take, or who you should date, who you should marry, who you should entertain as friends, who you should then … Now … What relationships do you need to dissolve now because they no longer serve you, because they have served the purpose and now that purpose has now been fulfilled? So now it’s time to welcome new people, new relationships, right? That serve new purposes for where you are in your life, in your journey at this point.

And so, there’s no way you can navigate and receive and have emotional freedom and happiness and joy and bliss and ease and well-being if you are not connected to your inner spirit.

Your inner spirit has got to be your best friend. Your inner spirit has got to be that guiding — that driving force in your life that you always by default go back to, that you always connect with, that you always reflect quietly upon about your life about your decisions, about your past, about your present, about your future, because everything is there.

All the information is there in this connection, in this divine essence, in this divine space — but you have to connect with it. You have to, through your spiritual practices, connect with it — through your awareness, through your willingness to discover more about you and become intimate with yourself.

Be in Love With Yourself

You have to be in love with yourself. It’s not about being around other people, it’s about being with yourself. Because, there comes a point when the realization comes to you that you won’t find the fulfillment — the same kind of fulfillment you can find with other people that you can find with yourself.

A lot of times, a lot of people that you’re around are not connected with themselves anyway. And so, it’s just a whole bunch of distortion and distorted creations and manifestations that are limited based on the person’s you’re around who are unaware of their own power. And then you’re not aware of your power.

And then before you know it, it’s just this melting soup of just fear and lower based emotions where it’s like, nobody is like living their best life — nobody is living their full potential, because the awareness isn’t even there that there is a full potential to be had.

Some people, the older they get, the more dormant they become in their abilities, in their potential, just in their excitement and illumination of their light, right? Some people, as they get older, the spark within them dims. Don’t let that be you!

Never let the spark of The Divine that’s within you — that eagerness, that excitement, that anticipation for what’s next, the next adventure, the next thrill — never let that part of you die out. You’re meant to be excited about your life. You’re meant to be excited about your abilities.

How awesome is it that you get to wake up and connect and get in this intuitive effortless flow where, oh my gosh, everything’s just synchronized, right? And things are just always working out for you, even if somebody else is aware or unaware of the things that they’re doing and how it’s benefiting you and how it’s aligning with your higher purpose, your higher fulfillment, your higher happiness, your higher clarity, your higher knowing.

Allow Yourself to be Intuitively Guided

You’ve got to be intuitive. You’ve got to connect with your inner spirit and become intuitive enough so that you can detect what your next move should be. When to speak, when not to speak. When to divorce that person. When to marry that person. When to start opening that business and living your passion. When to start expressing your unique soul expression — when and how. What exactly that looks like.

So many people always ask me, “Well, Athena, how do I know what my purpose is, and how do I know what my gifts are and what my abilities are?” Well, that’s for you to know. That’s for you to know. I can only guide you. I can share my experiences with you, but that’s for you to know. You have to do the inner work, because the thing about it is, we’re all unique divine expressions, right? And so, there is never a replica.

So, there is a path that you have to journey, and only you can journey to discover the true essence of you, and the magic of you, and your own spark and how to illuminate it and how to protect it. Allow yourself to be guided to your next highest level, right?

Only you can do that, but that only comes from your willingness and the inner work — the inner work to develop yourself, to be able to tell your truth, to be able to get clear on what your truth is … What’s your abilities — how are they assisting you?

Notice how — the little subtleties about your abilities. Notice how in certain environments — how do certain environments affect you? How does speaking and interacting with certain people affect you?

This is all stuff that your inner spirit guides you with. And so you have got to be your own best friend then — is what the cliché is — be your own best friend.

But then I take it to a next level and extrapolate more on that and say: be best friends with your inner spirit. Talk to your spirit often. Celebrate your inner spirit. Rendezvous with it, co-create with it. Get clear on your true desires.

Your inner spirit is your higher self. Your inner spirit is powerfully aligned in the ascension of consciousness. And so, therefore, you’ve got to be connected with this.

And the idea is to connect and integrate more and more and see everything in your life from an expanded viewpoint, and understand that things are happening for you, not to you — because good comes out of everything that happens. And it’s for you, through the connection and through the relationship with your inner spirit, that’s how you’re going to know exactly what to make out of the things that you are experiencing in your life. It’s that simple.

Only you have the answers. No one else can have the answers for you, not even me. Only you can have the answers for you, but you’ve got to get serious about your own life. You’ve got to get serious about the magic that’s you.

Align With The Divine

You got to be excited about you, because if you’re not excited about you, then how can anybody else be excited about you? How can anybody else show up in deep appreciation and acknowledgement of the value of who you are if you’re not doing it first? You got to model that energetically, and the only way to do that is to be powerfully connected with your inner spirit.

This is important. This is vital. There is nothing else without connection to your inner spirit. There’s nothing else but confusion and apathy and a scarcity mindset. You will not have a wealthy consciousness.

You have got to develop a wealthy consciousness. You have got to develop an aligned consciousness with all that is — Divine Source, The Creator, The Divine, The All Knowing, The Infinite Being, Infinite Truth. You’ve got to get connected with your inner spirit so that you can experience spirituality.

You’ve got to experience spirituality. You’ve got to experience the moments when you are in that sense of rendezvousing, that sense of, “Oh my God, my life gets better and better and I can feel my inner spirit blossoming. I can sense the strength — my inner strength, my emotional strength — starting to flourish, starting to strengthen, starting to become activated.”

This is not about being logical, this is about being balanced and being and knowing the things that you know logically emotionally. You’ve got to know it emotionally. And the only way to know what you need to know emotionally is through your connection with your inner spirit.

Stop going around asking other people for advice, and ask your own inner spirit. Sit quietly and ask powerful questions. Your inner spirit is connected to all there is, the universe, the source energy.

You are an infinite being, but you won’t even know your own power because you won’t give yourself a chance. You won’t give yourself a chance, because the thought of sitting alone and being quiet with your own self — with your mind, with your heart — that doesn’t appeal to you. You’d rather be going around trying to seek the approval of other people who don’t have a freaking clue to begin with either because they’re not connected themselves.

Awaken and Express Your True Essence

You’ve got to get serious about your life. Nobody else will, nobody else can. You got to awaken your creativity within you. You got to awaken the bliss that is you and let it demonstrate and be expressed in your life. But only through the connection with your inner spirit can you do that.

This is not the time to sleep. You must awaken. It’s time to awaken. It’s time to see divine truth. It’s time to experience supernatural synchronicities and magic and spark and supernatural realms that support you, that give you that evidence that there’s more. But you’ve got to reach for it, it’s not going to just come to you. You have got to do the inner work. The spiritual work and the spiritual growth process, that is how you activate that part of you.

Your connection — and through spirituality and your connection with your inner spirit, that’s the foundation of everything great, not just simply believing in yourself.

Okay, well what does believing in yourself mean?

Believing in yourself means that you are aware that there is something powerful within you — your spirit, the human spirit — it’s been called so many different things: Your soul, your inner being, your inner essence — it’s been called so many things. But you have got to trust and do the work that it’s worth it to connect, to understand yourself, to be connected, to allow yourself to be guided, to allow yourself to follow your gut feeling then. Allow yourself to feel the all rightness of you — the worthiness of you, the truth of you, the abundance of you.

That’s the foundation of everything great — not self-belief, but so much. Not self-belief so much, but self-belief and connection in the integration — with the integration of you and your soul — and what that looks like for you. And allow that to — the evidence of that to blossom in your life.

Allow it to support you in giving you the courage — getting energized so that you can make the changes, radical changes, small changes, all the changes, all the shifts that you need so that you can have that life you’re meant to have; so that you can have that emotional balance, have that emotional freedom, be all right even when other people aren’t all right with you.

And get that if somebody isn’t all right with you, they’re not all right with themselves! And that’s their inner work.

Keep Your Spiritual Vision Clear

Be clear on the difference between your inner work and somebody else’s inner work, and don’t be fooled and keep your clarity. Keep your spiritual vision clear so that you can understand when somebody is projecting their fears, their emotions, their turbulent emotions upon you. And be clear on what your energy is and what the next person’s energy is bringing to the table.

Don’t let the water get muddied. But you can’t do that unless you connect with yourself powerfully so that you can get in that intuitive knowing, so that you can awaken your consciousness, so that you can evolve and develop and align more with the true nature of source energy — which is abundant in every way, on every level.

There is no limitation, only expansion. There is no scarcity, only abundance. There is no fear, and shame, and guilt…and you did this wrong, and you didn’t do that right…and you let this person down, you let yourself … That’s BS. That’s BS. That’s BS. You got to start telling yourself a new story.

You and your inner spirit needs to get in alignment and in agreement, and start telling a new story about how magnificent and wonderful your life is. And even though there are persons that are currently in your life that are not appreciating you, and not valuing you and encouraging you and uplifting you, you got to know that, you know what, you created that on some level – through your lack of self-belief, through your doubt, through your self hate.

You created that and you got to be accountable for that now and create a new reality for yourself and know that you’re supported, and know that there is no shame. You are spiritually gifted, and the only shame is coming to this life and never actualizing in your full potential of that.

You can’t get scared. You can’t play small now. It’s time to keep expanding your consciousness. It’s time to start blazing that trail and being confident in your ability of doing that. You and your inner spirit.

Inspire Others

And when everybody sees you, they’re going to be so inspired. So that’s the greatest thing that you can do — is to be activated and powerfully integrated and connected with your inner spirit, your inner being, because when you do that, oh my God, you’re magic. Do you not understand? You become magical to everybody else.

Your energy will become so powerful that it will awaken other people around you. It will awaken them. It will spark something within them. It will trigger something that is of higher level within them.

But you can’t do that if you want to be amongst other people who are confused and are unclear, and afraid, and scared, and full of doubt. You can’t do that and get to the other side, and get to your fulfillment, and get to your emotional balance, and get to your emotional peace of mind and well-being and happy and express your best life forward. You can’t do that when you’re playing small with other people who are also playing small.

You are awakened enough in your consciousness to start playing a bigger game, but you got to step into the glory of that. You’ve got to allow divine grace on your life. You’ve got to allow yourself to be guided.

When are you going to stop limiting yourself? When are you going to be ready? When are you going to realize that you have all that you need right now so that you can play a bigger game in your life? So that you can be unapologetic about your spiritual growth and your awakened consciousness and not worry about anybody else and what level of the journey they’re at.

Because, it doesn’t really matter, because you just blessing them with love and blessing them with light, and you’re basically navigating your own journey — you and your inner spirit. And having meaningful experiences that validate and support everything that you know within that you are, the greatness that you are. The compassionate, loving being that you are. The powerfully illuminated person that you are who can see through the illusion of false projection, limited mind thinking.

Feel Safe in Your Own Power

It’s time to be empowered. It’s time to feel safe in your own power. It’s time for you to accept your psychic abilities. It’s time to accept your clairvoyancy.

Clairvoyant just simply means clear vision. You want clear vision, you have clear vision. Use it as a powerful spiritual tool to make decisions for your life that’s going to nourish your soul, that’s going to develop you, that’s going to propel you forward, that’s going to help you manifest the biggest, grandest, greatest version of your life ever that you could have ever conceived.

Be the magic of who you are. You are a magical. You are supernatural. Be that and stop making excuses!

Stop playing small. Stop giving your power away and worrying about other people and what they’re thinking about you and what other people are doing and what other people are not doing.

What are you doing for you? What are you doing for you? What are you doing for you?

How are you uplifting you? How are you getting intimate with you? How are you discovering you? How are you allowing your process to unfold and being gentle and loving and easy with yourself? How are you getting clear? What are you doing to get clear on your own desires — your own divine desires and how you’re glorifying The Creator, and how you’re showing blissful appreciation for your life and all that is and the evolution of you?

It’s that dance that you’ve got to get into. It’s that dance, that rhythm, that unique rhythm that is correlated with your divine spark that’s within you. That’s the substance, that’s the essence that is yours to embody and discover and allow to unfold and to effortlessly flow through you, around you. That’s what it’s about — the story of you.

Start looking within. Start connecting with your own personal power — your inner spirit, your inner glory, right?

Start illuminating your magic, the magic that is you. That’s what it’s about, but you can’t do that if you’re not regularly connecting with your inner spirit — rendezvousing with it, appreciating it, allowing it to bring you the guidance and the remembrance of all the things that you need to know at any given time.

Your inner being is connected to the higher mind and heart source energy that is all knowing — infinite intelligence, infinite divine wisdom, right?

Develop a Daily Spiritual Routine

So get connected with you. Develop a morning routine at the start of your day. Even if you just sit quietly and listen to what your soul, your inner spirit, has to say — the guidance — the clarity that it brings you.

Start breathing deeply. Breathe deeply.

Your breath is your connection to life. Your breath is your connection to your inner spirit in the physical form of your physical, the physical expression that is you, your breath.

So breathe deeply. Breathe intentionally and set your intentions for the day, and start building up a momentum for the things that you are appreciating about your life and all the things that support you. And it could just simply be the bed you slept on.

Get in the energy of appreciation and get connected with your spirit.

Take a walk, go for a walk. Literally just do the things that quiets the inner chatter — quiets the ego — so that you can hear. And overtime, as you do this more and more, you’ll find that the gentle whisper of your inner spirit becomes more clear to you.

The confusion you feel about your relationships, the confusion you feel about your career paths, the confusion you feel about your life choices, the confusion you feel about the “loss of a loved one,” those will all dissipate and all you’ll have is an expanded radio view on your life, your existence, your reality, and all the players in it.

You will be in an intuitive magical flow that will be so undeniable to you. You’ll just know it. You’ll be able to sense the magic. You’ll be able to sense the power that is you.

So, develop a strong spiritual practice and allow yourself to be in quiet reflection of your life, of your day.

Sit down and ask empowering questions, like how can you receive more clarity? How can you be more intuitive knowing? How can you be more supported? How can you allow more financial support in? How can you allow more of all that it is that you need in your life? How can you be supported as your consciousness awakens more and more? How can you allow yourself to feel safe and allow the well-being as you ascend in your consciousness? As more and more spiritual awareness and insights come to you, they become you.

So start paying attention. Start paying attention.

And I’m not saying that you can’t get advice from persons who you respect, or persons that’s knowledgeable when it comes to certain areas of life or certain aspects of things, but your own inner guidance — you and you, you and your inner guidance — has got to be that defining definitive final say.

You have to get connected — develop your intuition so that you can sense if something feels right for you, if something feels aligned with you, if something feels true for you, if it feels light for you. And let that guide you. Let that sense of your own sense of well-being and what’s your next step should be — let that be your guiding force. Let that be your guiding force; and live your life intuitively.

Allow the Process to Unfold

It’s like intuitive living — and allow yourself to the process. There’s a certain aspect of the process and the unfolding and blossoming of your inner spirit that is you, that’s unique to you, that only you have to experience. Then you can tell everybody else about it, right? Because everybody else can only share their experience.

But ultimately, it’s different for everyone. Have the courage … Love yourself enough to allow the unfolding of you and enjoy it and be patient with yourself. There is no race to get anywhere. Just enjoy now — where you are in your realization, where you are in your, you know, the processing of all the things that’s happened in your life.

Just be gentle with you and just know that everything is happening and unfolding in an empowering way that uplifts you, that brings you always in alignment with your highest and greatest good.

If something feels good, good, keep it. Enjoy it more. If something feels like it’s not aligned and that it brings you pain or discomfort, dissolve it, dissolve it. End your own suffering. You have that power. You can choose your emotional bondage, or you can choose your own peace of mind and well-being, and intuitive knowing, and living through the connection of your inner spirit.

Never betray your inner spirit. Stop betraying your inner spirit. Stop betraying your inner spirit, because every time you betray your inner spirit, it manifests in a form of more discomfort — more emotional discomforts.

So, sit quietly and start developing a regular spiritual routine. I don’t care if it’s yoga. Whatever it is that you enjoy doing — journaling, listening to music, soothing music, music that uplifts you, that inspires you.

When your soul is nourished, your heart sings. So, the things that you enjoy that brings you ease and relaxation and a feeling of contentment, do more of those things. Do more of those things.

Nourish divinity within you. Nourish your soul, and you will see how your life will magically and supernaturally unfold. Problems and challenges that you wreck your brain over trying to figure out, they just effortlessly just work themselves out.

So don’t waste your life force worrying and living in a vicious cycle of getting nowhere. Mindlessness. You’re too powerful for that.

Start connecting, start asking empowered questions. Start loving you. Start expressing, demonstrating that love of yourself more.

Spend time alone, do what you love doing. Let your inner dialogue — your thoughts and your self-talk — soothe you, uplift you.

Talk to yourself like your own best friend. Talk to your inner spirit. Rendezvous with your inner spirit more. Do that and you’ll see the difference in how you feel. And when you feel emotionally balanced, when you feel a sense of your peace of mind and well-being, ohhhhhh, life is just effortless from there. Life is just effortless from there.

The compliments and the appreciation and the one good thing after the next good thing just keeps happening and just keep expressing and manifesting in all different variations — and from green lights when you’re driving, you know, traffic free, circumstances on the highway. Just pleasantries, blissful moments.

Get in the magic of you. Get in the magic of your life.
