	Carissa Schumacher: The Quantum Leap, the Trust-Love Spigot, and What Yeshua Wants Us to Know	10 mai 2025	01:22:30
Today on Hold the Light, I’m talking again with Carissa Schumacher in our fourth conversation together here on the podcast. You know Carissa by now: she is a renowned forensic psychic medium, a spiritual guide, the co-creator of the book The Freedom Transmissions, and she leads beautiful journeys that allow people to go deeper into their spiritual inquiry and evolution. Taking with her right now is synchronistic because I recently wrapped up my latest season on the podcast where I’ve been going through the book The Freedom Transmissions, chapter by chapter. (Haven’t started the series yet? START HERE.) If you’ve been following along, you might remember that I kicked off the season talking with Carissa, so it’s fitting that I’m ending the season with her as well. This conversation is a two-parter – the second half is in next week’s episode where we dig more into The Freedom Transmissions. Today, the topics we cover are, as Carissa says, relevant to so many people’s paths right now. * We talk about the trust-love spigot. The issue of expectations and assumptions. * We talk about how the containers of her journeys come together.. * She shares about the trust and faith it takes to be a full body channel. * We talk about how we collectively are in an upgrade time — and that we’re going through a quantum leap. * She shares what Yeshua’s is holding us accountable for as we move into a new era. (Hint: it’s not time to hold back as light-holders in this new era.) * And yeah, I asked her straight up if she thought it was cool that she could channel because there are things she just knows.

	Ep. 24: The Chalice and Vessel of Freedom AND The Covenant (The Freedom Transmissions)	26 avr. 2025	00:12:49
Episode Summary: The Chalice and Vessel of Freedom (Pages 405-416) & The Covenant (Pages 417-418) Today, we focus on the final chapter of Transmission 8 and Transmission 9 as a closing reflection. While Transmission 9 isn’t a full episode, it holds profound significance in the journey we’ve been on—so I’ll address it at the end. Because, as we’ve learned, Transmission 9 is … you. This final offering is about freedom—but it challenges the way we often perceive it. We tend to think of freedom as something external—something to be won, taken, or given. But here, we learn that true freedom is an internal state of being. * It is not something we wait for. * It is not something we fight for. * It is something we become. That shift in perception? It’s up to each of us. As we move through this chapter, have your Freedom Transmissions Personal Process page ready—you’ll be guided to reflect and write. Key Themes * True Freedom is an Internal State – Not something granted, but something cultivated. * Freedom Requires Responsibility – We must nurture it, not take it for granted. * The Illusion of Freedom – External power and control are not real liberation. * Forgiveness as the Path to Peace – The real battle is within, not outside of us. The Responsibility of Freedom * Freedom is not an entitlement—neither in the human nor the divine sense. * Many take freedom for granted, assuming it is simply their right, but without awareness, it can be lost. * “Freedom is not something that happens to us—it is something we cultivate through presence, consciousness, and effort.” * The illusion of freedom—believing that power, unlimited choices, or control over others will bring liberation—is a false path. * True freedom is not about getting everything we want; it is about no longer being ruled by wanting. Where Does Freedom Exist? * Freedom is an inner journey. It is not found in external conditions but within our perception and awareness. * Wars have been fought over freedom, yet history shows that these battles often lead to more suffering. * “The real battle is internal. The only fight that leads to lasting peace is the fight for forgiveness.” * Unlike wars that create winners and losers, forgiveness frees everyone. * True freedom is not about overthrowing others or proving ourselves right. It is about releasing chains—anger, fear, separation, and illusion. You Are the Vessel of Light * The responsibility of freedom does not belong to someone else—it belongs to you. * Not through suffering. Not through sacrifice. Not through war. * But through inner transformation, kindness, compassion, and choosing peace over conflict. * “True freedom is not about fighting the war. It is about ending it—within ourselves first, and then in the world.” * “Through Presence, you become conscious that you are consciousness itself.” * The peace within you is not just a gift; it is a responsibility. * You are called to embody it, to live in the light of consciousness, to choose peace. The Truth of Freedom The book tells us: * “There is nothing to have Faith in, for you ARE Faith.” * “There is nothing to Forgive or be Forgiven for. There never was. For you ARE Forgiveness.” * “There is nothing to be Free from, for you ARE Freedom. You are already Free.” So, “…go forth and reveal and unfurl your beautiful tapestry within the Tapestry of the Web of Life.” The Covenant: The Ninth Transmission is YOU * Transmission 9 is called The Covenant… and as we’ve learned, Transmission 9 is YOU. * A covenant is offered to sign in realization and completion of this sacred journey—between you and Yeshua. * This is your commitment to upholding your service as a Holder of the Light. * This is the moment to acknowledge that the Light you carry is your responsibility. Key Takeaways * The journey of transformation is an internal one. * Freedom is not outside of us—it is within. * We are called to walk forward in peace, embodying the Light we already are. * You are the final transmission. You are the pathway to peace. Closing Reflection This has been a journey of transformation, alignment, and peace. The pathway is not outside of us—it exists within. We are the ones now—carrying wisdom, light, and the responsibility to embody love. This is not about seeking something external; it is about remembering who we truly are. You are the ninth transmission. Go forth in your life as peace. Thanks for listening. Keep holding the light.

	Ep. 23: Salvation (The Freedom Transmissions)	19 avr. 2025	00:18:29
Episode Summary: Salvation (Pages 379-404) This chapter is about coming home to yourself—liberation, transformation, and stepping into the light of who you truly are. Some days, you may feel deeply connected to your purpose; other days, you may feel lost. This is part of being human. We move through light and shadow, remembering and forgetting, but there is always a way back to yourself. At its core, this chapter explores salvation not as something external, but as an inner transformation. It is the process of shedding fear and illusion, returning to divine truth, and choosing faith over fear, unity over division, and presence over distraction. Peace, freedom, and love are not something we seek—they are something we awaken within. This teaching is an invitation to step into our divinity. We are all part of something bigger, something sacred. This is a path of awakening—discovering who we truly are and the light we are meant to share with the world. Key Themes * Salvation as Inner Transformation – It is not given to us; it is something we embody and live. * Deliverance is an Inner Process – Releasing false narratives, choosing faith over fear, and stepping into spiritual truth. * Returning to Divine Truth – Aligning with wisdom, presence, and love instead of illusion and distraction. * We Are the Bridge – We are here to carry the Light and be part of the awakening of conscious life.

	Ep. 22: The Three Strands of the Braid of the Holy Trinity, Pt. 2 (The Freedom Transmissions)	12 avr. 2025	00:13:13
Episode Summary: The Three Strands of the Braid of the Holy Trinity, Part 2 (Pages 363-376) In this episode, we continue exploring the spiritual concept of the Trinity of Light and the Shadow Trinity. This is an exploration, not a pursuit of mastery. The journey is one of continuous unbraiding from fear and judgment while reweaving into love, wisdom, and freedom. This chapter offers insights into the power of redemption, the significance of shared burdens, and the ultimate liberation found in embracing divine will. True peace is not achieved through external validation but through deep spiritual work—shedding old beliefs that no longer serve us and embracing a life of love and joy. Through the three key principles of Repentance, Atonement, and Redemption, we are provided with a framework for finding inner peace and freedom. Key Themes * The Journey of Spiritual Growth – This path is not about perfection but continuous exploration and integration. * Joy as a Spiritual Lens – Choosing joy does not mean avoiding pain, but seeing it differently. * Shared Burdens & Divine Reciprocity – Service is not just an act of giving; it is a sacred exchange. * Redemption as Renewal – True freedom comes when faith and forgiveness are fully realized.

	Ep. 21: The Three Strands of the Braid of the Holy Trinity, Pt. 1 (The Freedom Transmissions)	05 avr. 2025	00:22:06
Episode Summary: The Three Strands of the Braid of the Holy Trinity, Part 1 (Pages 339-362) This chapter explores how fear shapes our lives and how our response to it—either through surrender or resistance—determines whether it controls us or becomes an opportunity for growth. Fear, when left unchecked, creates illusions that trap us in cycles of suffering. However, understanding two powerful forces can help us break free: * The Trinity of Light: Repentance, Atonement, and Redemption—a path to healing, transformation, and liberation. * The Shadow Trinity: Separation, Judgment, and Fear—energies that bind us in limitation and distortion. By recognizing our fear-based patterns and shifting our perception, we can step into a life of divine connection, where faith replaces fear and we align with our highest potential. Key Themes * Fear as Illusion – How the mind creates exaggerated ghost stories that keep us trapped in suffering. * Addiction to Fear – How external structures (media, politics, societal systems) manipulate fear for control. * Faith as the Antidote – The unknown is where transformation and spiritual connection live. * The Shadow Trinity vs. The Light Trinity – One binds us in suffering, while the other sets us free. The Nature of Fear and Perception * The phrase “Abandon hope, all ye who enter here” is often used to create fear in controlled settings, yet in real life, we resist fear instead of embracing it with curiosity. * Fear does not exist in external events but in how our mind interprets them. * When faith is lost, the mind creates illusions—stories that seem more frightening than reality. * Discernment is key: Learning when fear serves a purpose versus when it is used as a tool of control. Understanding the Three Strands of the Trinity of Light 1. The Power of Repentance: The Act of Unburdening * Repentance is not about guilt; it is about release. * Acknowledging burdens—blame, regret, judgment—allows us to unburden ourselves and reconnect with love and peace. * Recite the Repentance Prayer (page 353) to surrender and realign. 2. The Power of Atonement: Service Through Joy * Atonement restores balance, not as punishment, but through joyful service. * This is co-creation with the Divine, allowing us to hold the Light for others. * Acts of kindness, laughter, and compassion are ways we atone. The Shadow Trinity: The Counterbalance to the Light * A necessary contrast that teaches us what we are not, so we may remember what we are. * Consists of three braids: * Resentment, Reaction, Regret * Shame, Blame, Guilt * Polarity, Complacency, Separation * These energies create suffering but can be unbraided through awareness and choice. Key Takeaways * Fear binds. Faith liberates. When we shift from fear-based perception to faith, we create inner peace and clarity. * Repentance releases burdens. Let go of judgment, regret, and separation to return to love. * Atonement is service through joy. Give without agenda, and your light will inspire others to find their own path. * Discernment is key. Fear can be a tool for control—learning to recognize and shift it is part of our awakening.

	Ep. 20: The Justice of Divine Balance (The Freedom Transmissions)	29 mars 2025	00:17:01
Episode Summary: The Justice of Divine Balance (Pages 323-338) This chapter explores the importance of balance, letting go of what no longer serves, and trusting the natural flow of life. It invites us to examine how chasing external validation—such as success, approval, or control—can leave us feeling empty and disconnected, while aligning with truth, peace, humility, and authenticity brings clarity and fulfillment. We also explore how change and loss, though difficult, can be pathways to freedom. This offering provides guidance on how to navigate transitions, including global energetic shifts, with grace, surrender, and purpose. Key Themes: * Balance is achieved by releasing attachments and trusting life’s natural flow. * External pursuits—success, status, control—often lead to disillusionment and imbalance. * True fulfillment arises from inner peace, humility, and authenticity. * Loss is not punishment; it is often a necessary step for realignment and growth. * The world’s energetic shifts require us to embrace change with trust rather than resistance. The Illusion of Fulfillment Through External Means Many of us believe that something outside of ourselves will provide the fulfillment we seek. Yet, when we focus on lack or fixate on what “should” be instead of what is, we create a false sense of separation. * Real happiness does not come from external success. As the book states, “You may hit the bull's-eye on sex, money, and power, but focusing on such targets leaves your authentic self missing in action.” * When we chase validation, status, or material wealth, we often feel unfulfilled, even when we achieve those goals. * True peace does not come from accumulating more or achieving perfection—it comes from accepting ourselves as we are. * Freedom begins when we release the part of ourselves that constantly seeks and desires without ever feeling satisfied. The Archery Metaphor: Aiming for the Right Targets The book uses archery as a metaphor for life, illustrating how we often aim at the wrong targets: * Many people rush toward lofty goals before they have built the foundation necessary to hold steady. As the text says, “Your minds love to race to Olympic Archery distances before you have even effectively learned the discipline and work required to hold a bow.” * Chasing external success can feel like hitting a target—only to realize it wasn’t the one that truly mattered. * Instead, we are encouraged to: * Refocus our aim—targeting what brings real peace and connection. * Adjust expectations—understanding that transformation requires patience and alignment. * Release the illusion of perfection—embracing authenticity over unattainable ideals. * As the book states, “The more honest you are, the more balanced your bow, the more open your soul’s eye, through accepting what you are designed to be, hitting the mark will be effortless.” The Necessity of Release and Renewal Periods of loss and transformation are necessary for growth: * Without release, imbalance occurs. * Loss is not punishment; it is often a divine realignment. * Letting go allows for expansion and greater clarity. * Examples of how loss can lead to liberation: * Losing a job can open doors to a more meaningful path. * The end of a relationship can lead to deeper self-discovery. * Releasing outdated beliefs allows for new perspectives and growth. Rather than resisting loss, we are invited to see it as a doorway to something new. As the book states, “An opportunity for reevaluation, refinement, restoration, and simplification.” Less can often be more. The Earth’s Energetic Shift and Our Role in It We are in a time of global energetic rebalancing. The Earth itself is evolving, and we must evolve with her: * The Earth’s frequency is shifting, requiring a collective realignment. * Many current struggles—exhaustion, anxiety, disconnection—stem from being out of sync with natural rhythms. * Synchronizing with the Earth’s cycles brings clarity and well-being. * As the planet undergoes shifts, natural events will mirror these changes, reflecting necessary realignments. To navigate this shift, we are encouraged to: * Honor our bodies—resting, nourishing, and attuning to our needs. * Release unnecessary consumption—creating spaciousness rather than filling every moment. * Trust life’s cycles—understanding that every transition has purpose. There are two choices: * Fight and resist change, creating struggle. * Surrender, adapt, and trust the unfolding process. We are reminded that this is not a passive process. Growth requires participation. The less resistance, the faster clarity arrives. Choosing Peace in a Changing World Despite external turmoil, peace is the underlying force driving this shift: * The current era is moving toward transparency and alignment, though resistance remains. * Those in power—whether in external systems or within our own ego—will struggle to maintain control. * The collective will reach a point of oversaturation with dissonance, leading to a greater desire for unity. Yet, we can choose the path of peace now: * Be a light-holder, guiding others toward a new way of being. * Embrace simplicity and authenticity—animals, elders, and children are examples of this. * Recognize that true balance means living for oneself without imposing on others. As the text says, “There is such strength in allowing and be-ing just as you are. When you can allow yourself to just be… you create space for fulfillment, service, and joy.” The Nothing Prayer: A Gateway to Everything The chapter concludes with The Nothing Prayer, a powerful tool for restoring simplicity and balance. As recommended in the book, this prayer shifts focus from external chaos to inner stillness, liberating us from attachments and desires. “I have nothing. I want nothing. I will be brought what I need…” Reciting this prayer often is a practice in surrender and trust. Key Takeaway The world is shifting, and we are invited to shift with it. Balance is not found in control or accumulation but in trust, surrender, and alignment with our true nature. Reflection:What are you holding onto that no longer serves you? How can you embrace release as a path to deeper peace?

	Ep. 19: Resurrection (The Freedom Transmissions)	22 mars 2025	00:15:38
Episode Summary: Resurrection (Pages 310-320) This chapter explores the deep interconnectedness of all life—from the smallest insect to towering trees, from animals to humans. Everything in existence plays a role; we are not separate from this web of life but woven into it. We examine our purpose as conscious beings—not to dominate but to serve as caretakers of the Earth. The energy we bring into the world matters, shaping our collective future. This offering invites us to recognize the sacred in all things, to honor our relationship with nature, and to understand the unseen impact of our spiritual evolution. Key Themes: * All life is interconnected; no being is separate from the web of existence. * Our role is not to dominate but to care for and honor all life. * The energy we cultivate and leave behind influences the world long after we are gone. * Animals and plants are profound teachers, offering wisdom through their presence and balance. * Justice is not about punishment but restoring harmony through wisdom and discernment. The Legacy of Energy and the Seeds We Plant Every one of us carries a life force that does not simply vanish when we pass. Instead, our energy and consciousness continue to influence the world, much like planting seeds. * The way we live—and the way we die—matters. Our state of being at the time of passing leaves an energetic imprint. * Living in love, grace, and peace plants seeds that create healing and harmony. * Living in resentment or fear plants seeds that continue cycles of suffering. * Indigenous cultures, animals, and nature understand these cycles intuitively, honoring life and death as part of a greater balance. The Wisdom of Nature and Animals Plants, trees, and animals are among our greatest light-holders. They live in harmony with the rhythms of life and serve as reminders of presence and truth. * Trees hold wisdom in their roots, communicate through ecosystems, and sustain life through their breath. * Animals exist in full presence, without pretense or judgment, reflecting truth through their eyes. * Our role is not to assert dominance over them but to serve as their caretakers. Reincarnation and the Evolution of the Soul Reincarnation is another way to describe the process of resurrection—of soul integrating into form once again. * As consciousness evolves, we may move through different forms—human, animal, insect, plant—learning balance along the way. * A soul that has caused harm may choose to return in a different form, not as punishment but as a means of healing and understanding. * An abuser may return as the abused, not for suffering’s sake, but to mend the love-knots and restore balance. * The soul’s ultimate desire is to experience all aspects of existence and contribute to the evolution of consciousness. The Divine’s Evolution and Our Role in Co-Creation Even the Divine itself is in a progressive state of evolution. * As we evolve, so does the Divine, in an ongoing cycle of co-creation. * The energy we cultivate—whether love and compassion or fear and negativity—contributes to the overall consciousness of existence. * Beings of light, such as angels, often take form as children with special needs or animals who live brief yet powerful lives, serving as anchors of high vibration. * Abuse or neglect of any form of life—plant, animal, child, or elder—affects the collective balance of consciousness. Justice and True Balance Justice, in its highest form, is not about punishment or retribution but about restoring balance and peace. * Passion for change must stem from compassion and wisdom, not anger and blame. * Social justice can quickly become mob justice when fueled by hatred instead of discernment. * Modern-day pitchforks—social media, judgment, and reactionary activism—often create more imbalance. * True justice asks: Am I moving from love or fear? If we become consumed by our fight, we risk becoming the very thing we oppose. * Divine balance ensures that all things are eventually restored to harmony. Any imbalance not rectified in this life will be resolved through the loving correction of the Divine. Raising Our Vibration and Honoring the Web of Life The energy we carry and consume matters. * The words we speak, the food we eat, the media we consume—all shape our vibration. * Filling our lives with negativity and suffering absorbs that energy into our being. * Discernment is key: What are you aligning with? What do you bring into your body, mind, and spirit? * Choosing love and peace raises not only our consciousness but that of the collective. This does not mean ignoring darkness. It means choosing to bring light into it, even in grief, loss, and disconnection. Key Takeaway We are all part of something greater than ourselves. The way we treat others, animals, and the Earth ripples outward, shaping the world itself. Our legacy is not in what we accumulate but in the energy we leave behind. Reflection:What life force or legacy do you want to leave behind? How are you contributing to the balance of life?

	Ep. 18: The Alpha, the Omega, and Eternal Life (The Freedom Transmissions)	15 mars 2025	00:27:32
Episode Summary: The Alpha, the Omega, and Eternal Life (Pages 279-309) This chapter explores the sacred cycles of beginnings and endings, offering comfort and wisdom to anyone navigating loss or seeking a deeper purpose behind the human experience. While we often think of life and death as opposites—one to be celebrated and the other to be feared—this teaching invites us to see them as partners in the soul’s journey. By embracing both, we can find greater peace, presence, and freedom. Key Themes: * Life and death are not opposing forces but interconnected cycles in the soul’s evolution. * Every birth contains an ending, just as every ending creates a new beginning. * Love does not disappear after loss—it transforms and takes on a new form. * Our feelings cannot be solved through logic; they must be felt and processed to move through them. * The Divine is not a force of suffering or punishment but of peace—we can access this when we surrender to the greater flow of life. The Nature of Beginnings and Endings We all come into this world knowing that we will one day leave it. This is not a tragedy—it is part of the Divine design. Without endings, there could be no beginnings. * A mother must release her former identity when she gives birth to a child. * When a loved one passes, those left behind must release the life they knew with them. * The grief we feel in loss is proof of the love we have shared. * Beginnings and endings hold both light and void—fear, love, grief, and transformation are all part of the same sacred cycle. The Conflict Between the Mind and the Heart One of the greatest challenges we face is the tension between our thoughts and feelings: * The mind seeks logic and control, but the heart speaks the language of energy and emotion. * We often try to reason through emotions, but feelings cannot be solved like a problem; they must be moved through. * True peace comes when we learn to balance the mind and heart, embracing presence instead of overanalyzing. Yeshua’s presence is not about fear, suffering, or burden—those are constructs of the human mind. Divine energy is peace, and we can tap into this by surrendering control and trusting in something greater than ourselves. Understanding the Layers of Awareness To better navigate our human experience, we are shown three levels of awareness: * Thoughts (Lowest Vibration) – The mind’s attempt to process the external world. * Feelings and Emotions (Higher Vibration) – More aligned with the Light, connected to energy and intuition. * Intuition and Presence (Highest Vibration) – A deep knowing, the soul’s wisdom, and direct connection to the Divine. Yet, we often give the lowest vibration—our thoughts—the most power. This chapter invites us to reset, allowing intuition and presence to lead, bringing harmony even through grief, birth, and sudden change. Finding Peace in Life and Death Loss is often seen as something to fear, yet it is part of the balance of creation. Nothing reminds us of the power of love more than loss itself. * When we lose someone, it feels like a part of us is gone—but in reality, they shift from being beside us to being within us. * The grief we experience is not about something being taken from us; rather, it is an expansion of love. * The Divine does not wish for us to carry burdens; instead, we are invited to lay them down and find peace in faith and forgiveness. The Sacred Cycle of Life and Death This chapter shares the cycle of our physical existence: * Upon birth, our spirit descends from the infinite, while our physical form rises from the earth. * Upon death, our spirit ascends back to the infinite, and our body returns to the earth. * We do not cease to exist; we simply transition into a new way of being. * This is why we can still feel the presence of loved ones who have passed—they are still with us, just in a different form. Hope, Balance, and the Gift of Peace The Divine carries hope for us, just as we carry hope for our loved ones. But true hope is not about avoiding suffering—it is about seeking peace. * Yeshua does not exist to save us from death or struggle but to help us find balance. * When we restore balance between the mind and heart, everything shifts. * If we wish to find Yeshua, we do not need more knowledge or service—we need balance. Lessons on Grief and Eternal Connection Grief is an awakening—an invitation to form a new relationship with the ones we have lost. Love is eternal, and our connections remain unbroken. * Each ending contains a new beginning; grief and love are intertwined. * We are whole, even when we feel empty. * Loss is not final—it is a transformation of presence. * We are encouraged to move through grief with simplicity, not resistance. True wisdom emerges from allowing what is, rather than trying to control it. What Happens When We Die? This chapter offers a perspective on the moment of death: * The soul reunites with its whole self, freed from the limits of the body. * All memories and experiences transform into light and understanding. * We experience a return to love and balance, a reunion with those who came before us. At the moment of passing, our relationships do not end; they transcend time and space, becoming woven into our spirit. Key Takeaway Every loss plants seeds of light within us. Our journey is not about avoiding grief—it is about walking through it with an open heart. Love does not disappear; it simply changes form. Reflection:When loss creates a void, that space is not empty—it is an opening where light can enter.

	Ep. 17: Polarity, Resistance, and Transcending Doubt (The Freedom Transmissions)	08 mars 2025	00:19:28
Episode Summary: Polarity, Resistance, and Transcending Doubt (Pages 252-276) In this chapter, we explore the dualities within ourselves—our Yeshua self, which embodies love and light, and our Lucifer self, which resists change and clings to fear. By recognizing these aspects, we gain a deeper understanding of how our personal struggles mirror collective challenges and how our resistance to growth reflects the tension in the world around us. Transformation is not a single moment but a gradual process of awakening to our true nature. Through the lens of light and void, we learn to navigate our inner polarities, make conscious choices, and contribute positively, even in times of uncertainty. Key Themes: * Light is not fading; rather, our connection to it can wane. It is up to us to stay connected. * As light grows within us, resistance often increases. Our old belief systems struggle to hold on. * The world mirrors our internal struggles—resistance to change, collective division, and the cycles of power. * We are responsible for our own peace and how we engage with transformation. Navigating Inner Resistance Resistance to growth is natural. This chapter explores how resistance manifests: * Love-nots—the mental and emotional knots we carry—can feel heavier when transformation begins. * When belief systems collapse, there is often panic and a rush to regain control. * The pendulum of power swings back and forth, without real progress, when change is resisted instead of embraced. * We are encouraged not to get lost in choosing sides but instead to move beyond judgment and into a place of awareness and unity. The Balance of Healthy and Unhealthy Resistance We are invited to reflect: Should we resist at all? * Healthy resistance is about discernment—it allows us to pause, explore, and proceed with wisdom. * Unhealthy resistance comes from fear and an unwillingness to accept change. * The Divine is making it impossible to stay in resistance. The more we cling to old patterns, the harder the shift feels. Fear of Love, Fear of Fear Many of us fear love itself because loving means risking loss. Yet love is our true nature. We are encouraged to ask: Will we fear love, or will we love fear? * The Divine loves us in all states—joy, peace, judgment, and separation alike. * Choosing love over fear is essential to our path. Understanding the Yeshua and Lucifer Self Within each of us are two aspects: * The Yeshua Self is aligned with Divine will, love, and peace. It seeks unity and trust. * The Lucifer Self clings to control, fear, and separation. It thrives in division and the illusion of dominance. Rather than rejecting one and clinging to the other, we are called to recognize when we are operating from our Lucifer self and gently guide ourselves back into the light. Resurrection as a Process of Awakening Resurrection is not a single event; it is an unfolding journey of consciousness: * Descent: The movement into form and ego identity. * Awakening: Recognizing our higher nature and stepping into our true path. * Realization: The return to Divine consciousness. We may experience many mini-resurrections in life—each moment we choose awareness, presence, and truth, we realign with our highest self. What Do You Wish to Contribute? We are invited to consider: What are we contributing to life? * Are we creating and engaging with love, presence, and peace? * Or are we lost in distractions, judgments, and fleeting pursuits? By being mindful of our words, actions, and energy, we can step into conscious creation rather than reactive existence. Key Takeaway Both light and the void are our sacred teachers. When we recognize our Yeshua and Lucifer selves as part of our growth, we stop resisting and begin to flow with divine balance. Through conscious choice, we return—moment by moment—to our authentic selves. Reflection:Each time we choose love over fear, presence over distraction, and peace over division, we resurrect into our truest self.

	Ep. 16: The Spectrum of Spirit (The Freedom Transmissions)	01 mars 2025	00:14:32
Episode Summary: The Spectrum of Spirit (Pages 227-251) We often think of light and darkness as opposites, but what if they are not in conflict at all? This chapter explores how the light and the void are complementary forces, working together in perfect balance to support our spiritual growth. Key Themes: * The void is not something to fear but rather a space of limitless possibilities and transformation. * Light and the void are interconnected parts of creation, and embracing both is essential for spiritual evolution. * We are both of the Creator and creators ourselves, holding the divine spark within us. * The mastery of this reality comes from recognizing that we are the dreamers of our lives, able to consciously create rather than live in reaction. * We are in a time of great change, and our choices will shape the future. Navigating this transformation with trust and surrender allows for greater peace. * The balance of masculine and feminine energy is key to our collective evolution. Exploring Fear: The Void vs. The Light We are asked to reflect: What do I fear more? The Void or the Light? * Fear of the Void often relates to issues of safety, security, control, failure, judgment, and abandonment. * Fear of the Light is more about self-worth, trust, deservingness, and fear of rejection. * The void and light are not opposing forces but rather two aspects of the same truth. * If our fear is about the outcome, it often points to resistance toward changing our personal narrative. * If we fear losing control or surrendering to truth, we are already evolving beyond the illusion of self. Spiritual Evolution and Environmental Responsibility This chapter also highlights our responsibility to Gaia, the Earth, as an integral part of our transformation. * Our disconnection from the natural world creates imbalances that must be healed. * True service involves holding the light for others, offering guidance without expectation, and contributing to the healing of our collective consciousness. Key Takeaway The light and the void are not opposing forces but work in harmony. The void, though often misunderstood, is a space of limitless potential where transformation begins. By embracing both, we align with our highest spiritual path. Reflection:When you find yourself in the void, call the light to you. When you stand in the light, welcome the void. Either way, you are exactly where you need to be.

	Ep. 15: Clarity, Pt. 2 (The Freedom Transmissions)	16 févr. 2025	00:17:02
Episode Summary: Clarity, Part Two (Pages 218–233) This chapter continues the conversation around the energy of clarity—but now, we look deeper. We explore what happens when clarity feels out of reach, when we’re lost in uncertainty, or afraid to face what is already being revealed. Clarity, as we learn here, isn’t about knowing what will happen next—it’s about aligning with presence, truth, and love, even when the path ahead isn’t clear. This is Clarity, Part Two. Key Themes * Clarity Requires Trust – When we feel unclear, it’s often because we’re impatient or afraid. * The Soul is Not Linear – Clarity unfolds on soul time, not mind time. * Truth Before Certainty – We’re called to accept truth, even when it challenges us. * Reclaiming the Rejected Self – Clarity comes when we embrace all parts of who we are. Fear, Resistance, and the Search for Clarity When we’re grasping for clarity, it’s rarely because it’s not available. More often, it’s because we’re: * Rushing to force a timeline that isn’t ready. * Avoiding a truth we’re afraid to acknowledge. * Listening to fear instead of presence. “Lack of clarity isn’t about clarity. It is about safety and security in the face of change.” We seek certainty to feel safe—but clarity isn’t about control. It’s about being in harmony with what is, and letting go of resistance so our soul can lead the way. Truth Simplifies Even when truth is inconvenient or painful, it brings clarity. When we resist it, we create confusion. But when we allow truth to rise, the fog begins to lift. This is where presence and surrender become our allies. Whether we’re facing a dark night of the soul or simply unsure about a decision—we are reminded: Love is not convenient. But it is always guiding us home. Clarity & Self-Worth Another reason clarity can feel elusive? We’re rejecting parts of ourselves. When we believe we’re not enough—not worthy, not successful, not lovable—we create internal separation. This clouds our ability to see clearly. We project our insecurities onto relationships, decisions, and desires. “How can you expect others to honor your worth when you cannot honor your own?” We’re being asked to reclaim the parts of ourselves we’ve abandoned. To call them home. To stop handing others the power to decide when we are lovable. The Two Temples Yeshua shares a powerful metaphor in this chapter: * One temple is built on fear, control, and illusion. It promises much, but enslaves the spirit. * The other is the temple of the Divine—a space of inner communion, humility, truth, and peace. We are being asked to choose. Which temple will we stand in? “The longer we spend in one, the harder it is to leave.” Discernment is key. Notice what brings peace. Notice what causes dissonance. Let your soul—not your fear—decide. How to Invite Clarity * Be willing to see the truth, even if it’s not what your mind wants. * Practice patience. Trust divine timing. * Reclaim your whole self—including the parts you’ve rejected. * Choose to align with love, not fear. “Peace is a choice.” As we step into this new era, both individually and collectively, our choices matter more than ever. Clarity is not just something we receive—it’s something we become. A Practice for This Week At the end of this chapter, Yeshua offers: * Read The Freedom Prayer (Page 229) * A meditation to help integrate the teaching Take time with both. Let the words and energy move through you.

	Ep. 14: Clarity, Pt. 1 (The Freedom Transmissions)	08 févr. 2025	00:16:00
Episode Summary: Clarity, Part One (Pages 210–218) This chapter is about the energy of clarity—and the deep desire so many of us carry to simply know what to do, where to go, and how to move forward. As Yeshua teaches, clarity is the most commonly requested gift from the Divine. Yet, it’s not always given in the way we expect. We learn that true clarity doesn’t arrive through external validation or certainty about the future—but through presence, patience, and our willingness to see what is. This is Clarity, Part One. Key Themes * Clarity is Always Available – It’s not something we chase—it’s something we see when we’re present. * Presence Over Knowing – The joy of life is not in knowing everything, but in experiencing the mystery. * Free Will & Divine Timing – The unknown honors our soul’s journey and growth. * Truth and Acceptance – Clarity arises when we’re willing to see what we’ve resisted or denied. The Nature of Clarity We often say, “I just want someone to tell me what to do.” And yet, as we learn here, if we were handed the entire roadmap of our life, it would strip us of the very things we came to Earth to embody: free will, choice, wonder, and growth. If we had full clarity from the start, we would miss the sacred process of revelation. Yeshua reminds us that clarity is not about knowing everything. It’s about being with what is. Why Clarity May Be Clouded The chapter identifies three common reasons clarity may feel elusive: * Impatience – We want answers before the soul is ready to reveal them. * Misplaced Focus – We seek clarity in one area, while the soul is guiding us to another. * Resistance to Truth – We don’t want to accept the truth being revealed, especially when it differs from what the mind desires. We’re encouraged to allow truth—even if we’re not ready to act on it. The more we surrender to what is, the more clarity flows in unexpected and miraculous ways. “You cannot have clarity when you are not in reality.” Fantasy vs. Reality We are asked to notice when we’re living in fantasy rather than reality. Where are you spending your time? * Scrolling endlessly through social media? * Avoiding hard conversations? * Chasing outer validation instead of inner peace? When we drift into fantasy, clarity becomes distorted. But when we ground ourselves in presence, the fog begins to lift. The Role of Free Will Clarity cannot—and will not—override our free will. That’s part of the sacred contract we made with the Divine. If we knew everything, we wouldn’t choose anything. We must be willing to live in the space between the known and the unknown. That’s where miracles unfold. How to Receive Clarity * Lighten your vibration. * Simplify your life. * Stay present. * Release control. * Trust the unfolding. We are reminded that when we act from a place of love and integrity—even when clarity isn’t fully formed—we build the path to tomorrow, one faithful step at a time. “The clarity you truly seek is how to more deeply realize, feel, and serve through that clear embodiment of Love through Truth and acceptance.” A Practice for This Week Toward the end of this chapter, Yeshua offers a meditation and two journaling prompts: * What is it you wish to be clear on right now? * Are you willing to allow the clarity to arrive in its own way and time—not as your mind wants it, but as your soul needs it?

	Ep. 13: The Power of Perception (The Freedom Transmissions)	01 févr. 2025	00:18:17
Episode Summary: The Power of Perception (Pages 197–209) This chapter is about the energy of moving mountains. The key message: “Love moves mountains.” We’re invited to examine how our perception of mountains—life’s internal and external challenges—either keeps us stuck or allows us to move forward. Our mountains may look like health issues, relationship struggles, financial burdens, or self-doubt. But the message here is clear: it’s not about the mountain—it’s about how we see it, engage with it, and whether we choose to align with Divine Love, which holds the power to move all things. This is The Power of Perception. Key Themes * Perception Shapes Reality – Mountains grow or shrink based on our consciousness and how we choose to view them. * Love Moves Mountains – Divine Love, not control or fear, is the force that transforms obstacles. * Presence Over Projection – We are called to stay rooted in the present moment to avoid creating unnecessary burdens. * Soul-Led Transformation – Our soul—not our ego—knows how to move what seems immovable. Mountains and Perception Mountains aren’t obstacles meant to defeat us—they’re invitations to rise. But when we carry burdens like shame, guilt, or control, even a small hill can feel like a massive summit. The way to shift that? Awareness and Love. Our soul and spirit possess the power to transform how we experience what’s in front of us. When we align with the Divine, we stop magnifying our problems and start witnessing them as part of our evolution. Ask yourself: Where is my focus? Are you projecting into the future, holding onto the past, or present with what is? We learn: some mountains are meant to be moved, others are simply meant to be seen. Avoidance and Attachment When we avoid addressing small issues—financial tasks, health check-ins, relationship healing—they begin to grow. What was once a molehill becomes a mountain because we’ve fed it with delay, fear, or avoidance. Presence allows us to discern: Is this a true mountain or a perceived one? Through consciousness, we can untangle ourselves from the unnecessary burdens we’ve stitched into our identity. Love Shifts All Things Love doesn’t view mountains as problems. Love created mountains. Love moves mountains. When we perceive our lives through a lens of Love, what once felt heavy can become holy. Instead of seeing our challenges as punishment, we begin to see them as part of our soul’s transformation. As it says in the book: “See what there is to see without attaching to solutions and outcome.” When truth is revealed, don’t fall into shame or regret—celebrate it. The revelation of truth means Love is growing within you. Owning Our Mountains What burdens are you still carrying? What are you unwilling to release? The Freedom Transmissions teaches us that when we cling to old wounds, false identities, or outdated beliefs, we reinforce the mountains we wish to move. But when we surrender and trust, movement happens. Yeshua reminds us that our soul knows how to move mountains. Not through effort or striving, but through surrender and Love. “If we are authentic to our inner process… Yeshua will move what needs to be moved in the external.” Living Without Armor We learn that we often wear armor to appear as if we have it all together—but this armor keeps us disconnected and alone. Courage comes through letting it go. As Yeshua says: “Being naked in [our] whole self is a rarity within this world that hopefully will become more of the norm in times to come.” The time has come to embrace your whole self—vulnerable, real, and evolving. Let go of appearances and false perfection. Yeshua invites us to “come together” in wholeness, not to pretend we have it all together. The Invitation of Love * Some mountains are meant to be moved. * Some are meant to be witnessed. * All are invitations to choose Love. When the mind says, “This is too much,” Love says, “Watch me move.” When the mind says, “I don’t know how,” Love says, “I already made the way.” When the mind says, “I will wait,” Love says, “Now.” The power of perception is this: how we see determines how we move. Choose to see through Love—and everything shifts. Key Takeaways * Mountains are shaped by perception—Love transforms them. * Resistance builds mountains; surrender allows movement. * Armor is not strength—vulnerability is courage. * We are each a moving mountain, in motion with the Divine.

	Ep. 12: The Freedom of Be-ing (The Freedom Transmissions)	25 janv. 2025	00:18:44
Episode Summary: The Freedom of Be-ing (Pages 172-194) In this chapter, we explore the fundamental choice each of us faces—whether to align with our true divine nature, our "wheat-self," or remain trapped in the illusion of separation, our "chaff identity." Our choices about how we connect to ourselves, others, and the Divine either lead us toward authentic freedom or keep us bound in patterns of seeking and wanting. This chapter reveals that true freedom comes not from doing whatever we want, but from being what we truly are—our essence. Healing happens through reintegrating lost aspects of self while learning to trust divine timing and support. We’re being asked to look at this deeply because it affects us both individually and as a collective. Key Themes * Freedom vs. Servitude – Unstitching from anything that keeps us bound to ego identity. * Chaff Identity vs. Wheat-Self – The illusion-self keeps us in fear, while our true self welcomes change and co-creation with the Divine. * Reintegrating Lost Aspects of Self – Healing trauma and reclaiming fragmented parts of our soul. * Trusting the Divine Process – Learning to surrender to transformation and divine timing. The Illusion of the Chaff Identity * The chaff-identity, or illusion-self, is driven by fear and the need for external validation. * It seeks power, safety, and control while rejecting divine connection. * This imbalance leaves us feeling dissatisfied, disconnected, and in a cycle of wanting rather than gratitude. * It creates what the text calls "thought bubbles" and "fear prisons," clouding our perception with defensiveness and external energy absorption. * When we allow this identity to dominate, we become susceptible to love knots—splits within ourselves that fragment our experience of wholeness. The Power of the Wheat-Self * The wheat-self, or divine self, is not attached to form identity. * It welcomes change, honors its needs, and serves its purpose through its unique essence. * Unlike the chaff-identity, the wheat-self is not defined by the outer world—it is rooted in divine truth and freedom. Reintegrating Lost Aspects of Self * Trauma can cause aspects of our wheat-self to fragment, moving into our spirit body until we are ready to reintegrate them. * These lost aspects might include joy, innocence, peace, or even specific memories. * When we are ready to reclaim them, our soul calls in profound change to restore our wholeness. * This process invites us to: * Recognize when we’re operating from illusion versus truth. * Reclaim and reintegrate fragmented parts of ourselves. * Trust the process, even without intellectual understanding. * Let go of self-pity and open to divine support. Embracing Transformation * As we move back into wholeness, we may no longer feel drawn to certain people, places, or activities. * This is a natural process—new, healthier connections begin to form as we align with our true self. * Each day becomes an opportunity to deepen our connection to the divine within us. The Era of Profound Transformation * The traumas surfacing now are soul traumas, beyond the mind and heart. * We are being called to greater accountability—to see and accept truths we may have previously ignored. * Yeshua tells us: "You are being freed to live a soul-based life." * This is a time of transcendence that doesn’t require pain, but it does require presence and surrender. * The choice before us is clear: Will we stay fragmented, or will we become one streaming consciousness of wheat? Navigating the Path Ahead * The world is burdened by a culture of want—now is the time to refine commitments and leave space for what truly matters. * The text warns that change will soon become more difficult to suppress. What has been repressed within us—and within the Earth—will rise. * “All we need to know is that we will know what we need to know when it's time.” * Trust in divine timing and lean into the support of community—come-unity—as we step into new realities together. Passion & Authenticity * We are being asked to strip away illusions and embrace transparency. * Imbalanced passion: Arrogance, exhaustion, and self-absorption. * Balanced passion: Grace, authenticity, and divine alignment. * Yeshua tells us that passion not aligned with spirit will become increasingly unsustainable. * When we experience true passion through our wheat-self, it flows so naturally that we never want to stop. Key Takeaways * Let go of what no longer serves. Release old energy, behaviors, and beliefs that keep you bound. * Embody the Light. Step into your wheat-self and allow your true self to shine. * Your path may be the road less traveled. It requires humility, courage, and trust, but you are not alone. * Freedom is not about doing whatever you want—it is about being what you are.

	Ep. 11: The Liberation of Longing (The Freedom Transmissions)	18 janv. 2025	00:18:46
Episode Summary: The Liberation from Longing (Pages 162-171) The theme and focus of this chapter are about how we become trapped in patterns of wanting—constantly seeking external validation, possessions, and acceptance to feel complete. The offering here reveals how these very longings end up owning us through our fears and attachments. We are reminded of a fundamental truth we often forget: we already are whole and complete just as we are. True liberation comes not from acquiring more but from releasing our attachments to external belongings and recognizing that we already belong to something greater: the Divine. Through this process, we learn how to become free from the servitude of longing and from waiting for something outside ourselves to make us feel whole. Key Themes * Breaking Free from the Cycle of Longing – Understanding how external seeking keeps us bound in limitation. * Ownership vs. Belonging – Releasing attachments to external possessions and validation. * True Belonging – Recognizing that we already belong to the Divine. * Faith, Forgiveness, and Freedom – The keys to transcending fear and attachment. The Burden of Longing * As Yeshua says, "When you seek too much to belong or for belonging—ownership of things on the outside—it can completely blind and strip your lens of the wheat on the inside." * Our wheat-self is our soul, yet longing for external validation can lead us to forget this truth. * The more we long for something external—a relationship, money, validation—the more we give our power away to it. * The ego convinces us that we aren’t enough without that thing, fueling fears of rejection and insecurity. The Fear of Not Having vs. The Fear of Losing * "I won’t get what I need to feel safe and worthy. I must seek harder, compromise my boundaries, work harder—or I will be alone." * "I have worked so hard to obtain these things that define me. I must avoid loss at all costs." * These fears are exhausting and keep us locked in cycles of seeking and attachment. * When we are bound by these things, our ego narrows our perception, keeping us trapped in a cycle of hypervigilance and control. True Liberation: The Path of Belonging to the Divine * We don’t truly own anything—not our belongings, not other people. * Even our bodies, Yeshua teaches, ultimately belong to Gaia and the Divine. * The question we are asked: Do we belong to God in humility and peace, or to fear and victim consciousness? * When we deeply belong with the Divine, we are set free from external attachments and fear. * No matter what happens externally, we belong. The Illusion of Cancel Culture * Yeshua points out that many seek to reject or cancel others, but Spirit holds the ostracized closest. * When we cancel another’s worth, we negate our own divine self. * No soul can be canceled. * We are encouraged to honor all people as divine beings rather than possessions we judge or discard. Freedom Through Surrender * True liberation from longing means aligning with Spirit. * When we release attachments and recognize our source in the Divine, we become free. * We are taught: “The essence of your be-ing is Peace. And Love. As long as you are be-ing and present at any moment, you have everything.” * The illusion of scarcity and unworthiness binds us, but faith sets us free. * Faith dissolves fear, allowing us to trust that our needs will be met. What We Carry With Us After Death * We take with us moments of deep connection, belonging, and reciprocity. * We do not carry our possessions, social media likes, arguments, or distractions. * Our conscious soul memory is woven from experiences of truth, joy, intimacy, and empathy. * “You are on borrowed time, Beloved One; use it wisely.” The Call to Let Go * We are encouraged to reduce commitments, obligations, and attachments. * “Allow for there to be fewer strings attached, fewer commitments, fewer hooks. Leap in trust, leap in Faith.” * True belonging means embodying love over fear, surrendering to Spirit, and trusting divine timing. Freedom Through Embodiment * When we release the burden of ownership and longing, we set ourselves—and others—free. * Yeshua teaches: “When you are able to set yourself Free from the burden of ownership and longing, you set everyone else Free too. That is service, Beloved, that is service.” Sacred Covenant: Writing Prompts On pages 170-171, we are given reflective questions to explore: * What owns you? What commitments, thoughts, and emotions feel burdensome? * What do you feel you are owed? Does this sense of entitlement bring peace or stress? * Are you owned by fear and worry? Do you long to be free? * At the heart of your longing—can being be enough? Are you willing to surrender? * Will you commit to creating space to live as your Divine self? We are reminded that this process holds no expectations—only wonder. Keep returning to and refining these reflections, and all that is needed will become clear. Key Takeaways * Belonging is not something we seek—it is something we already are. * True liberation comes from surrendering attachments, not acquiring more. * Faith, forgiveness, and freedom dissolve fear. * Let go of control, and trust that in Love, all needs are met.

	Book Study Questions	28 déc. 2024	00:08:34
In today’s episode, I want to offer some writing prompts based on the chapters we’ve covered so far in our book study series of The Freedom Transmissions. Since there is a lot of information and wisdom offered within these transmissions, I thought it would be helpful to take a pause and take some time to reflect on what you’ve discovered, realized, or learned so far. Basically, to write about what revelations have been brought into the light for you. This is a way to help integrate and embody the wisdom offered in the book. If you haven’t yet read some of those chapters yet and you’re going at your own pace, amazing. Just keep reading at whatever speed feels right to you. There’s no pressure and no rules. For others who are up to date, take some time to answer the writing prompts I’m about to pose. When we write, pen to paper, it helps us to process and comprehend on a new level. This is something that I’ve been experiencing as I’ve been writing these podcast episodes. Journal Prompt # 1 In the chapter, I AM Yeshua, we learn that we don’t have to believe in Yeshua or have faith in Him to receive His Grace. We learn that we are all inherently divine and worthy. Can you remember a time when you truly felt like you were “some of the One.” Write about that time. Journal Prompt #2 Which of the seven imbalances is strongest for you right now? Identify it and write about the ways that it’s showing up for you in your life. And then write about what is the underlying energy beneath this imbalance? What fear-based stories are you telling yourself that keep you in this imbalance? Journal Prompt #3 We’ve learned about the four chambers of the Sacred Heart: simplicity, stability, surrender, and stillness. These are four key energies to Peace, and it’s our gateway to divine connection. Which energy is most challenging for you to embody right now? And what could you do to help you embrace it and welcome it? Journal Prompt #4 In the chapter The Thread and Stitching of the Dreaming, we learned that we’re energetically connected to everything and everyone – our connections exist beyond physical reality. And we learned that prior to going somewhere, our soul and spirit have already stitched us to the place and people there. This is the idea that our souls are already connected to future experiences and people before we meet them. Looking back at a significant moment in your life, write about the invisible threads that you can now see in hindsight that were weaving your path to that experience. Journal Prompt #5 We’ve talked about voids, both individual and collective voids, and how they are opportunities for growth, not spaces to fear. How we navigate them is a big part of our evolution. Think about a time when you faced a personal Void—a period of uncertainty, change, or transition. Looking back, what did you learn about yourself during that time? And what transformation came from that experience? Journal Prompt #6 We’ve learned that “What you belong to also belongs to you,” and how external seeking creates endless longing. Think about what you’re stitched to right now in your life – do you want to belong to these people, places, things, belief-systems, and stories? If not, where will you focus first on letting something go that no longer serves you so that you can move deeper into your authenticity? Journal Prompt #7 Reflect on areas where you might be suppressing your true self—through habits, fears, or external expectations. How can you cultivate Freedom over suppression, creating space for your authentic essence to emerge? Where and how are you your own oppressor in your life? Journal Prompt #8 In the book, we learn that we are “not just in life but OF life.” How can you consciously shift your focus to plant seeds that align with your higher self and the legacy you want to leave in the year, and years, ahead? What seeds do you want to plant? Journal Prompt #9 And finally, what do you need to have Faith in right now? ___________________ SUBSCRIBE ➡️ Join me on Substack at Hold the Light with Laurie Gunning Grossman OTHER EPISODES IN THIS SERIES 🎧 Ep. 1—Introduction: The Freedom Transmissions Series 🎧 Ep. 2—I AM Yeshua 🎧 Ep. 3 —The Three Veils and Seven Imbalances of the Mind, Part 1The Freedom Transmissions Series 🎧Ep. 4—The Three Veils and Seven Imbalances of the Mind, Part 2 🎧Ep. 5—The Chambers of the Sacred Heart 🎧Ep. 6—The Thread and Stitching of the Dreaming, Part 1 🎧Ep. 7—The Thread and Stitching of the Dreaming, Part 1 🎧Ep. 8—Shades of Hope 🎧Ep. 9—Sacred Seeds 🎧Ep. 10—The Servitude of Longing 🎧Carissa Schumacher Interview, Interview #1—Part 1 🎧Carissa Schumacher Interview, Interview #1—Part 2 🎧Carissa Schumacher Interview #2—Part 1 🎧Carissa Schumacher Interview #2—Part 2 🎧Bonus Clip: Carissa Schumacher on the First Time She Channeled Yeshua 🎧Carissa Schumacher: Yeshua, Creating Sacred Spaces, and Holding the Light LEARN MORE ABOUT LAURIE AND HOLD THE LIGHT * Substack: Hold the Light with Laurie Gunning Grossman * Laurie on IG: @laurie.gunning.grossman * Hold the Light on IG: Laurie Gunning Grossman * Affirmations Tool: Hold the Light Collective ABOUT HOLD THE LIGHT Hold the Light podcast aims to support and guide lifelong learners and light holders in deepening their connection to personal and spiritual growth.

	Ep. 10: The Servitude of Longing (The Freedom Transmissions Series)	21 déc. 2024	00:16:29
Episode Summary: The Servitude of Longing (Pages 149–161) This chapter explores the energy of belonging and the spiritual implications of where we place our identity and sense of connection. At the core of this teaching is the statement: “What you belong to also belongs to you.” We are invited to examine the difference between longing and true belonging, to explore how our ego-self can lead us into patterns of external seeking, and how our soul-self guides us into alignment with the Divine. Through conscious discernment and sacred choices, we can reclaim our spiritual sovereignty. This is The Servitude of Longing. Key Themes * Ego vs. Soul Identity – The ego seeks validation and ownership; the soul seeks authenticity and service. * Belonging vs. Longing – True belonging brings peace; longing keeps us bound to dissatisfaction and seeking. * Discernment – Who and what we align with matters—branding, influence, and energy must be evaluated consciously. * Ownership of Self – We’re asked to take spiritual responsibility for how we define and express ourselves. The Ego’s Grip on Belonging Our ego-self (or chaff-identity) is rooted in fear, form, and dissatisfaction. It craves power and validation from the outer world. When we define our worth through this lens, we give over our inner authority to external systems. This creates a cycle of longing—never feeling fulfilled, always chasing the next thing. On the other hand, our soul-self (or wheat-self) is anchored in simplicity, purpose, and truth. It honors its unique essence and serves from a place of joy. To reclaim our soul-self, we must choose where and to whom we belong—with discernment. Longing vs. True Belonging * Belonging becomes distorted when it’s directed outward to structures, systems, and people not aligned with our essence. * When we’re in a state of longing, we become susceptible to fear, victimhood, and control. * True belonging is internal. It’s alignment with Spirit, humility, and peace. * We are asked to be conscious of who we allow to define us. The antidote to longing is belonging to God, to Grace, and to your whole self. Branding, Influence, and Ownership * Branding is a form of ownership—be cautious of the brands you follow and create. * Some brands foster community and communion; others feed on fear and control. * Be discerning about spaces that incite fear, division, or judgment. These are signs to step away. "Let God be your CEO—your Chief Energy Officer." We are reminded that influencing, in its distorted form, is a form of spiritual force. True influence is service rooted in authenticity, not power or popularity. Influencers and Institutions * Many influencers operate from ego and imbalance. Their charm may be seductive, but their intentions may not be aligned with truth. * Even altruism can be used as a tool of control. Use discernment to choose what you follow. * The Divine is not impressed by status or followers—it honors compassion, humility, and peace. Ask yourself: Do I belong to this? Or am I owned by it? Returning to Divine Belonging The invitation is to: * Unstitch from the illusion of external ownership. * Choose to belong to simplicity, stillness, and truth. * Step into structures of resonance that nourish your soul. You are being asked to stop giving your spiritual power away. Reclaim your worth by aligning with the Divine. Read The Discernment Prayer (Page 160) This sacred prayer invokes sovereign authority, humility, and Grace. It is the Prayer that sets you Free. Use this prayer as a guide whenever you feel uncertain, unclear, or in need of spiritual clarity. Key Takeaways * What you belong to also belongs to you—choose wisely. * Longing is rooted in fear; belonging is rooted in love. * Be cautious of branding, influence, and outer definitions of worth. * Your spiritual sovereignty is your responsibility. * The Divine invites you to belong—not to systems, but to your soul.

Episode Summary: Sacred Seeds (Pages 124–145) The message of this chapter is clear: You reap what you sow. In Sacred Seeds, we’re invited to reflect deeply on how our thoughts, words, and actions plant seeds into the void—and how those seeds shape our future and the collective reality. Through the lenses of Faith, Forgiveness, and Freedom, we are asked to consider how we will move forward from this moment on. This teaching encourages us to become more aware—not perfect—of what we’re stitching to and what we’re choosing to sow. It’s a timely invitation as we transition from the Old Era to the New. We’ve been preparing for this time across lifetimes. Now, we’re being called to participate consciously. This is Sacred Seeds. Key Themes * You Reap What You Sow – Everything you plant—whether in fear or in love—creates ripples and returns. * The Power of Voids – Learning to navigate periods of transition, chaos, and unknown with courage and humility. * Faith, Forgiveness, Freedom – The three foundational energies of the New Era. * Personal Responsibility – Being accountable for your vibration, thoughts, and impact on the collective. * Liberation Through Conscious Choice – Moving from fear-based living into Divine alignment. Understanding the Void Voids are not empty—they’re sacred spaces of transformation. * A void is a spiritual reset, a moment of letting go before something new emerges. * Fighting a void leads to struggle; surrendering to it invites healing. * The Void is where magic happens—it is the realm of unseen creation. Rather than resisting, we are invited to view the Void as an opportunity for growth, creativity, and spiritual recalibration. Three Collective Voids This chapter outlines three major energetic voids we’re experiencing: * Faith over Fear – Will we choose to trust the unknown, or panic and grasp for control? * Forgiveness over Blame – Will we release old grievances, or project pain onto others? * Freedom over Suppression – Will we take responsibility for our own healing, or remain trapped in cycles of self-sabotage? Each void invites a different kind of spiritual awakening, and the seeds we plant within them will grow over years to come. Faith Faith does not require proof—it requires presence. * Doubt is the shadow of Trust, but it can coexist with Faith. * Building inner Faith starts with trusting ourselves, then extends to trusting the Divine. * If you have Faith in something, you are a person of Faith. Forgiveness Forgiveness is not about condoning or forgetting—it’s about releasing. * Forgiveness starts within. * Don’t force it. Don’t fake it. * Releasing resentment and judgment creates space for Grace. We’re invited to weave the braid of Faith, Forgiveness, and Freedom into the fabric of our lives. Freedom True Freedom is not about doing whatever we want—it’s about releasing what no longer serves. * Suppression often comes from within: addictive behaviors, numbing, avoidance. * New currencies of energy—kindness, integrity, humility—are restructuring our systems. * You may be one of the Ones helping bring these new systems into form. Sacred Questions to Reflect On This chapter encourages you to ask yourself: * What do I have Faith in? * Who do I need to Forgive? * Where in my life do I seek Freedom? Allow these questions to guide your journaling, meditation, and daily choices. Key Takeaways * Voids are sacred spaces for transformation. Don’t fear them—honor them. * The seeds you plant now will shape your reality in years to come. * Faith, Forgiveness, and Freedom are the keys to the New Era. * Personal accountability is a spiritual practice. * You were made for this time. Choose with care. Sow with love.

	The Freedom Transmissions 101	07 déc. 2024	00:14:35
In this episode, we take a pause from the book study in order to go over some popular questions surrounding The Freedom Transmissions. In the next episode we will continue with the chapter, Sacred Seeds. Some of these questions are ones that people have asked me recently, and some of the questions were shared with me by Carissa Schumacher, who channeled this book. These are questions that have been posed to her in the past… and I’ll share her answers to them, too.

	Ep. 8: Shades of Hope (The Freedom Transmissions Series)	30 nov. 2024	00:18:38
Episode Summary: Shades of Hope (Pages 109-123) In this chapter, we explore how hope can show up in both its light and shadow forms—and how it connects to our thoughts, fears, and capacity to live from our wheat-self (our soul and spirit) rather than our chaff identity (ego and form). We also revisit the concept of separation, revealing how in its light form, separation supports discernment, original thought, and co-creation with the Divine. This teaching guides us to release our attachments to distorted thought forms and longings, and instead cultivate presence, clarity, and conscious manifestation. This is Shades of Hope. Key Themes * Light vs. Shadow Forms of Hope – How hope can uplift us or become a burden depending on its orientation. * The Power of Thought – How thought forms shape our experience and how to witness and shift them. * Sacred Separation – Embracing healthy separation to gain clarity, wisdom, and Divine connection. * Originality and Manifestation – Creating from the field of infinite possibilities with spirit, not ego. * Living from the Wheat-Self – Embodying your soul’s wisdom and releasing the need for external validation. Separation as a Spiritual Tool Separation isn’t inherently negative. There’s a light form of separation that: * Helps us step away from dissonant thoughts. * Encourages grounded independence. * Provides space to discern truth from illusion. * Supports creation from Spirit, not ego. This chapter invites us to see separation as an ally on the path to clarity, balance, and originality. Awareness of Thought Bubbles Yeshua reminds us that many of our fear-based thoughts aren’t even ours. They’ve been inherited, absorbed, or externally influenced. * We’re invited to examine our beliefs with discernment. * Thoughts that limit or suppress us must be witnessed, separated from, and released. * This makes space for more original, divinely inspired creation. As Byron Katie asks: * Is it true? * Can you absolutely know it’s true? * How do you react when you believe it? * Who would you be without the thought? Manifesting from the Void * Divine originality comes through “slow evolution, gestation, and birthing.” * True creation starts in the unknown and is brought into form through the heart and soul. * When we try to shove inspired ideas into conventional molds, we limit Divine flow. * Authentic creativity requires authentic structures. Yeshua invites us to strive for less and less — to refine rather than expand — to receive what’s truly aligned. Shades of Hope: Present vs. Future Hope can be: * Light-filled and anchored in the present, catalyzing healing and faith.“I hope this ends with kindness.” * Heavy and burdened when projected into the future, rooted in expectation.“I hope they’ll change for me.” Dead hopes are regrets. Living hope is a present-moment prayer. The Divine has hope too — that we will remember who we truly are. Living from Your Soul * Let go of control, past stories, and future fears. * Be present. Be original. Be free. * Move from a place of embodied faith. Yeshua asks:“Do you hope that God is with you or know that God is with you?” This is a powerful rite of passage—an invitation to move from longing to knowing. Key Takeaways * True hope is rooted in the present, not projected into the future. * You are a spiritual being, not defined by your body or possessions. * Originality flows through alignment with Divine presence. * Your thoughts shape your reality—choose them with awareness. * The Divine hopes you will become your truest self.

	Ep. 7: The Thread and Stitching of the Dreaming, Part 2 (The Freedom Transmissions Series)	23 nov. 2024	00:16:27
Episode Summary: The Thread and Stitching of the Dreaming, Part 2 (Pages 96-106) In this continuation of The Thread and Stitching of the Dreaming, we deepen our exploration of how our soul, body, and spirit body are connected to the great Web of Life. The soul is woven into the physical form—into our bones, blood, DNA, and heart—while the spirit body extends outward, like a spider’s silk, connecting us to unseen energetic threads in the world. We revisit key themes introduced in Part 1, including vibration, resonance, and the importance of discerning what and who we are energetically stitching to. This chapter also introduces the concepts of the wheat and the chaff, the process of unstitching from old stories and fear, the power of grief, and the call to commit to our inner process. This is The Thread and Stitching of the Dreaming, Part 2. Key Themes * The Wheat and the Chaff – Separating what aligns with your soul from what no longer serves. * Energy and Vibration – Becoming conscious of what you’re energetically stitched to. * Unstitching and Re-stitching – Releasing old attachments and choosing sacred alignment. * Grief as Energy – Understanding grief as the energy of letting go and transformation. * Spiritual Commitment – The call to take your spiritual path seriously and move from complacency to conscious co-creation. Wheat and Chaff: Two Meanings Yeshua refers to the wheat as the soul or Divine consciousness, and the chaff as form, matter, or ego identity. * Physical Death – At death, the chaff (body) returns to the Earth, and the wheat (soul) returns to Spirit. While the physical body ends, spirit energy is eternal. * Internal Separation – The ongoing spiritual practice of separating yourself from that which isn’t in alignment with your evolution. This includes releasing fear, shame, stagnancy, and unworthiness. Serving Needs vs. Wants * “Spirit serves needs, not wants.” * When we operate from our soul, service flows with joy and ease. * When we serve from ego or obligation, it becomes complicated and draining. The Prostration Prayer Found on page 97, this prayer acknowledges the equality of worth in all beings. It’s a powerful invocation for humility, grace, and unity. “Your worth is equal to mine, beloved, my worth is equal to yours, beloved...” Recite this prayer to shift your perception toward reverence and wholeness. Lens of the Wheat vs. Lens of the Chaff * The chaff lens focuses only on the external: body, mind, and form. It often leads to toiling and dissatisfaction. * The wheat lens honors the soul, the unseen, and inner truth—resulting in greater peace, joy, and spiritual liberation. Spiritual Self-Care Is a Choice * Commit to your soul’s evolution. * Stop delaying your spiritual practices and healing. * There is no guru or healer that can do this work for you. * As the book reminds us, “You were not just made to be in life. You were made OF life.” Grief as a Sacred Energy * Grief is described as the energy of letting go. * It arises when something has shifted in your life: a person, story, role, or identity. * Grief is an invitation to honor the transition and open space for something new to be woven in. The One Stitch That Matters Most * What are you stitched to? * The most important thread is your sacred heart—Simplicity, Stability, Surrender, and Stillness. * “Any love-not that keeps you out of your sacred heart is the most important to focus your awareness on to transform.” Questions for Reflection (Page 106) * What do I need to have Faith in? * What do I need to Forgive and be Forgiven for? * What do I need to be Free from? These questions are part of your writing homework. Take time to reflect deeply and write your answers down as a sacred commitment. Key Takeaways * You are a sacred thread in the Web of Life. * Unstitch from imbalance, and reweave with purpose. * You have the power to shift your reality by shifting your energy and awareness. * Let grief guide you gently into transformation. * The one stitch that matters most is the one in your sacred heart.

	Divine Alchemy: Unlocking Transformation Through The Freedom Transmissions with Carissa Schumacher	09 nov. 2024	01:08:11
Welcome to Hold the Light, a space where we explore the depths of spiritual growth, personal transformation, and the journey to align with our true essence. I’m Laurie Gunning Grossman, and in this season, I’m diving into The Freedom Transmissions chapter by chapter. If you’re seeking more peace, simplicity, balance, forgiveness, and freedom in your life, you’re in the right place. In this episode, we take a break from the book study to continue my conversation with the incredible Carissa Schumacher. Carissa is a renowned forensic psychic medium, spiritual guide, and channel for Yeshua (Christ Consciousness). Her book The Freedom Transmissions is a series of profound transmissions she received from Yeshua, offering transformative spiritual wisdom. If you haven’t listened to part one yet, I encourage you to pause this and dive into that episode for a deeper understanding of the book’s essence. In this discussion, Carissa and I explore the phenomenon where certain passages in The Freedom Transmissions feel entirely new upon rereading, as if we’re seeing them for the first time. She shares how our consciousness evolves as we read, and why we might feel like we’re going backwards in our spiritual growth—when, in fact, it’s part of the alchemical process of personal transformation. We also touch on the concept of the new era we are entering and how Yeshua’s teachings guide us through co-creating with the divine in our daily lives. One of the most beautiful aspects of this conversation is how we can walk a spiritual path while still holding space for our human desires and needs—without guilt or shame. Carissa also humorously addresses why Yeshua speaks with a British accent when she channels him, adding a bit of lightheartedness to this profound topic. Episode Highlights: * The non-linear nature of The Freedom Transmissions and how we experience new insights each time we revisit the text. * How Yeshua’s teachings help us evolve not just mentally or spiritually, but through the alchemy of our essence. * Exploring the balance between our human desires and spiritual growth and why having “wants” isn’t wrong. * Insights into how we can communicate with the divine and co-create our reality with spiritual guidance. * Carissa answers the burning question of why Yeshua has a British accent when she channels him.

	Ep. 5: The Chambers of the Sacred Heart (The Freedom Transmissions)	26 oct. 2024	00:17:02
Episode Summary: The Chambers of the Sacred Heart (Pages 67-76) In this episode, we move into learning about the Sacred Heart—the final chapter in The Sacred Heart Transmissions section of The Freedom Transmissions. Understanding the Sacred Heart is essential because it is the gateway that connects us to our divine self. It is the foundation for embodying greater peace, balance, and freedom in our lives. Today, we’ll explore: * What the Sacred Heart is * The four chambers that comprise it * The energies of Simplicity, Stability, Surrender, and Stillness * How we can connect with these energies to embody peace This is The Chambers of the Sacred Heart. The Sacred Heart: The Gateway to Peace We engage with The Freedom Transmissions because it provides a pathway to peace—helping us transcend struggles, integrate light and shadow, and move into our true essence. As we read in the book, “You did not come to the world for situational Peace.” Peace is not dependent on external circumstances. It is an internal state that we cultivate through faith, presence, and alignment with Divine Will. To quote from page 68: “When you illuminate within your Faith, and there is that level of connection and communion, We [meaning the Divine] can speak to you and through you… No longer do your imbalances set off a chain of burdens for you and others. No longer are you as triggered by others’ imbalances… That restores Peace and ends your self-imposed sentence of suffering.” What is the Sacred Heart? The Sacred Heart is not the physical heart. It is the center of our being, connecting us to the Divine, Gaia, and the entire web of life. It is “the intersection of the dreaming and dreamer, creation and creator, subconscious and conscious, seen and unseen.” Within the Sacred Heart, four energies—known as The Four Chambers—form its structure: * Simplicity * Stability * Surrender * Stillness These energies are essential for embodying peace. When we integrate them, we come into balance and freedom. Yet, in our modern world—where complexity, control, external validation, and noise are prioritized—these energies are often neglected. This disconnection keeps us in chaos and suffering. The good news? These four energies already exist within us. They are our true nature. Our role is to illuminate and embody them. As the teachings state: “If all be-ings in human bodies on your planet, or even just a handful more of you, focused daily on streaming and weaving these energies into your heart, body, mind, choices, and behaviors, there would be far fewer problems and burdens for you all to carry.” Let’s explore the Four Chambers of the Sacred Heart. The Four Chambers of the Sacred Heart 1. Simplicity Simplicity is one of the most central aspects of Peace… It is letting go of all that feels burdensome and disturbing to your Peace. How to connect with Simplicity: * What areas of my life feel chaotic and complicated? * Am I willing to participate in the process of simplifying my life? * What habits, commitments, or distractions are pulling me away from Peace? 2. Stability We need stability to embody the Divine fully. This means creating foundations in our lives that support our highest good. How to connect with Stability: * What feels unstable in my life? * What aspects of my life are unsustainable? * Am I willing to participate in the process of creating stability—through finances, relationships, boundaries, and daily practices? 3. Surrender True surrender is not selective—it is a complete offering of control to the Divine. Surrender is a state of be-ing rooted in humility, discipline, integrity, and devotion… It requires effort, but never in a way that creates more burdens. How to connect with Surrender: * Where in my life do I resist surrender? * What do I fear surrendering, and why? * Where do I try to force or control outcomes? Can I release my grip and trust? 4. Stillness Stillness is the most nourishing of the four energies. It is the gateway to Divine Grace—where we hear, receive, and embody peace. How to connect with Stillness: * What areas of my life lack Stillness? * What fears arise when I sit in Stillness? * What distractions do I use to avoid Stillness? * Am I willing to create time for Stillness, even if it means reducing external noise, setting boundaries, or committing to a daily meditation practice? Integrating the Sacred Heart By prioritizing Simplicity, Stability, Surrender, and Stillness, we restore balance and deepen our connection to the Divine. As we embody these energies, we draw more peace, joy, and clarity into our lives. Final reflection: “Your sacred heart is the gateway that connects you to your Yeshua Self. You were designed for Simplicity of realization, Stability of foundation, Surrender in transformation, and Stillness in invocation.” Next Steps: Read & Listen 🧘🏻 Breathing Exercise (p. 75 in the book, or audiobook at 28:04) 📖 Read: The Thread and Stitching of the Dreaming (Pages 81-96)🎧 Listen: The Thread and Stitching of the Dreaming (Audiobook, Transmission 1, stop at 21:43) 📝 Journal Prompt: What Chamber do you most need to embody right now?

	Ep. 4: The Three Veils and Seven Imbalances of the Mind, Part 2 (The Freedom Transmissions)	19 oct. 2024	00:14:48
Episode Summary: The Three Veils and Seven Imbalances of the Mind, Part 2 (Pages 60-66) In this episode, we are discussing The Three Veils, found in The Freedom Transmissions chapter The Three Veils and Seven Imbalances of the Mind. If you haven’t yet listened to the last episode on the Seven Imbalances of the Mind, be sure to go back and start there. Understanding the Three Veils is essential, as they provide deeper insight into the origins of the Seven Imbalances. When we know how these distortions developed, we gain clarity on how to restore balance and move toward freedom. This is The Three Veils. The Three Veils: The Root of Separation As we learned, the Seven Imbalances are distorted lenses of perception—false beliefs about who we are. They are illusions of separation from the Divine. The Three Veils represent this separation, and they create the distorted lenses through which we experience reality. For some, these Veils are thick, keeping them deeply unconscious. For others, who are integrating light and shadow into balance, the Veils are nearly transparent. By understanding the Three Veils, we can begin lifting them, allowing for clarity and deeper peace. The Three Veils 1. The Veil of Separation This Veil is the root of the belief that we are separate from the Divine, creating a deep sense of isolation, shame, and fear. How it expresses itself: * Feeling unworthy of love or connection * Experiencing deep shame, guilt, and self-judgment * Isolating from others or suffering in silence * Fear of rejection and failure How to begin lifting this Veil: * Trust in the unseen. Shift focus from what is visible and external to the deeper truth of connection. * Engage in practices that strengthen your faith. Meditate, journal, and commune with nature. * Release limiting beliefs about who you are supposed to be. When this Veil lifts: You begin to feel and know yourself as One—not as someone separate, but Some of the One. 2. The Veil of Polarity This Veil leads to perceiving reality in extremes—black and white, good and bad, right and wrong. It prevents us from embracing the complexity and balance of existence. How it expresses itself: * Emotional swings between joy and despair * Defensiveness, judgment, and blame * Seeking conflict or dangerous situations * Being trapped in an “us vs. them” mindset How to begin lifting this Veil: * Embrace duality. Recognize that both light and shadow are essential for balance. * Practice witnessing rather than reacting. Observe without immediate judgment. * Synchronize with natural rhythms. Honor cycles of creation and destruction, expansion and contraction. When this Veil lifts: You can hold space for both light and shadow without polarization. You begin to experience the full spectrum of reality without judgment. 3. The Veil of Complacency This Veil keeps us stagnant, avoiding truth and resisting change. It’s the illusion that staying the same is safer than evolving. How it expresses itself: * Resistance to change, even when the heart longs for transformation * Feelings of boredom, stuckness, and malaise * Fear-based procrastination—waiting until suffering forces a shift * Rigid beliefs that prevent growth How to begin lifting this Veil: * Be open to new perspectives. Let go of attachment to what you think you know. * Take conscious action. Growth requires participation—step into your transformation. * Honor both creation and destruction. Change is part of the natural flow of life. When this Veil lifts: You reclaim your sovereignty and step into your full creative power. You take charge of your transformation and align with Divine Will. Moving Toward Balance and Clarity Lifting the Veils is about choosing faith over fear. The more we dissolve these illusions, the more we realign with truth, peace, and love. Reflection: * Which of the Three Veils do you feel most present in your life? * What is one step you can take to begin dissolving it? Next Steps: Read & Listen 📝 Do the writing homework on page 66 in the book, or at the end of the audiobook chapter. This is an important exercise—don’t skip it! It will guide you in reflecting on which imbalances feel strongest in you right now and how the Veils interact with them. 📖 Read:The Chambers of the Sacred Heart (Pages 67-76) 🎧 Listen: The Chambers of the Sacred Heart (Audiobook, Part One: The Sacred Heart Transmissions) 📝 Journal Prompt: What Veil do you most identify with?

	Ep. 3: The Three Veils and Seven Imbalances of the Mind, Part 1 (The Freedom Transmissions)	12 oct. 2024	00:32:01
Episode Summary: The Three Veils and Seven Imbalances of the Mind, Part 1 (Pages 34-60) I’ve decided to break up this chapter from The Freedom Transmissions into two different episodes because of the depth of the content. This chapter is fundamental to understanding how we keep ourselves in density—what holds us back from living in our true essence, our peace, and our divine nature. Before we move forward with the other transmissions in this book, we need to start here. The good news? This chapter also offers ways to move from density into greater freedom. In this episode, we are discussing the Seven Imbalances of the Mind, as found on pages 34-60. The next episode will focus on The Three Veils. As we’ve discussed in prior episodes, The Freedom Transmissions is a pathway to peace. It’s a journey to free ourselves from our personal burdens so that we can step into greater balance, joy, fearless faith, non-resistance, and love. One of the key messages in this chapter is that when we learn to release our imbalances, we will know freedom and what it means to live clear-hearted. This is The Seven Imbalances of the Mind. The Origin of the Imbalances Before diving into the Seven Imbalances, it’s helpful to understand where they come from. We learn that at the moment of our soul’s inception, we were created in Balance, because we are of the One—the Divine, Spirit, Infinite Intelligence. We were designed in harmony. However, we were also seeded with consciousness, which led to self-awareness. And with self-awareness came choice. This is where free will enters: the choice to align with Divine Will or to create our own fragmented perception of self and reality. The Seven Imbalances of the Mind were not created by the Divine but by us, through fear-based thinking and illusions of separation. These imbalances distort our perception, keeping us disconnected from peace. The Seven Imbalances of the Mind Each imbalance is an error in perception—a way we miss the mark in choosing love over fear. Here’s an overview: * The Perception of Darkness or Separation * Feeling separate from the Divine and others * Expressed through guilt, shame, self-criticism, victimhood, and isolation * Transcendence: Reaching for something greater—immersing in nature, serving others, and practicing self-compassion * Tyrannical Desire and Greed * Driven by dominance, power, and lack of integrity * Expressed through control, entitlement, emotional manipulation, and lack of empathy * Transcendence: Releasing control, serving without personal gain, restoring integrity, and embracing humility * Ignorance, Denial, or Complacency * Avoidance of truth, resistance to change, procrastination * Expressed through addiction, procrastination, abdication of responsibility, and apathy * Transcendence: Facing discomfort, embracing personal accountability, and stepping into action * Excitement Over Death or Endings * Fear of the unknown, fixation on destruction * Expressed through paranoia, obsession with mortality, or reckless behavior * Transcendence: Reconnecting to life, faith in the eternal nature of the soul, and embracing joy * Imbalance of Human Want and Lust (Desires of the Flesh) * Preoccupation with external image and validation * Expressed through materialism, addictive behaviors, and fear of rejection * Transcendence: Simplicity, refining wants versus needs, and remembering self-worth beyond external validation * Foolish Wisdom or Not Aligning with Divine Will * Elitism, arrogance, assumption of moral or intellectual superiority * Expressed through rigid beliefs, judgment, and forcing opinions onto others * Transcendence: Deep humility, openness to learning, and aligning personal will with Divine Will * Wrathful Wisdom or Judgment * Rooted in fear and separation, leading to anger, rage, and retaliation * Expressed through acts of harm, violence, or self-destruction * Transcendence: Reconnection to nature, patience, gratitude, and the power of love Moving Toward Balance and Peace Becoming conscious of these imbalances is the first step toward transformation. Through self-awareness and surrender, we begin to dissolve these distortions and return to our true essence. When we align our will with Divine Will, we move closer to peace. Reflection:Which imbalances resonate with you? How can you begin the process of healing and realignment? Next Steps: Read & Listen 📿 Meditate on this:Take time alone, light a candle, breathe, and ask the Divine to help you perceive a troubling situation differently. Listen. Write down what you hear. Trust the messages of love. 📖 Read: The Three Veils and Seven Imbalances of the Mind (Pages 60-66) 👉🏻 Do the writing exercise on page 66—this is important for integration! 🎧 Listen: The Three Veils and Seven Imbalances of the Mind (Audiobook, second part) from 27:00 to the end of the chapter.

	Ep. 2: I AM Yeshua (The Freedom Transmissions)	05 oct. 2024	00:12:05
Episode Summary: Who Is Yeshua? (Pages 23-33) In this chapter, Yeshua introduces Himself and sets the foundation for what we can expect as we move through The Freedom Transmissions. So, who is Yeshua? Yeshua, as He explains, is Peace—our peace, the very essence of our Be-ing. When we choose peace, we choose our true selves. Through these transmissions, meditations, and prayers, we will make more room for our true selves by dismantling the illusion self—the part of us shaped by societal expectations, fear, and complexity. As we do this, we will move deeper into balance, faith, forgiveness, and freedom. One of the most powerful insights from this chapter? You don’t need to believe in Yeshua, have faith in Him, or even fully understand Him to receive His grace. His grace flows through you regardless of belief because you are not separate from Him. You are Him, and He is you. This is the co-creation. The ever-present connection. The we are never alone reminder. By finding yourself here, engaging with these teachings, you are answering a call—one that takes courage. Yeshua tells us: If you are here, you are among the pioneers ushering in an Era of Balance, Transparency, and Peace. The Path to Peace and Balance Many of us desire peace, yet struggle to find it. Yeshua gives us this wisdom: “Lower the bar on the cross that keeps you suspended in disappointment, imbalance, and regret. Stop raising the bar in favor of more, more, more—more money, more attention, more fillers, more ‘followers,’ more seeking.” If we reach for balance rather than constantly striving for more, we will experience deeper freedom and peace. Instead of constantly becoming, we are invited to come to BE. True peace comes from knowing that we are already enough—no more, no less. Can you remember a time when you truly felt like you were enough? That nothing needed to be fixed, improved, or achieved? Yeshua reminds us that the world doesn’t need our striving—it needs our Presence. Not what we do, or how hard we work, but our ability to fully be. And that requires deep responsibility—not just to ourselves, but to the whole. This is a call to shift from me to we. To live from a balanced heart instead of a restless mind. And to get there, we must commit to this journey. The Call of the Soul and Spirit This book is about dismantling the illusion self and reconnecting with the essence of who we are. I love this quote from the chapter: “The call of the Second Coming, the coming Home to your true essence, may have begun as a quiet voice in the background—your intuition saying ‘slow down,’ ‘reduce commitments,’ ‘use discernment,’ ‘this is not sustainable,’ ‘I am not happy.’ But often the voice is suppressed through the clamor of the mind and all of the external expectations and responsibilities you face as a human be-ing. Yet, the voice will not disappear. And now, as a matter of fact, it has grown louder. For your soul wishes to be suppressed no longer.” Your soul wishes to be suppressed no longer. What is your soul asking for? What quiet voice has been whispering inside you, waiting to be heard? This is the call of the soul—the Seed of Consciousness within us. And the call of spirit—the force that extends from our soul, connecting us to the world around us. This is our inner guidance calling us home to ourselves. What to Expect on This Journey As we move through this book, Yeshua prepares us for change. Things in your life may shift. Some things may be lifted, moved, or removed altogether. This can feel unsettling, but Spirit is always working for us, even when we don’t yet understand the path. To move through this journey, we are invited to bring surrender—to release control and trust the unfolding. “The more you surrender to what you cannot control or understand and reach for the strength of the Light within you, the more you will see, hear, and realize the wonder of the Pathway to Peace unfurling.” Surrender does not mean passivity—it means choosing fearless faith and non-resistance. It means trusting that what is shifting is doing so for your highest good. We will learn how to create peace in our minds, hearts, and spirits regardless of external influences—family, work, relationships, or circumstances. Until we create oneness within, we cannot create it outside of us. A Path to Peace or a Path to Struggle? Yeshua asks us: “Do you want to be on a path to and of peace? Or do you want to stay in the struggle you feel internally that keeps you feeling separate and at war with the external world?” If you feel discomfort or fear as you begin this journey, that is natural. Yeshua reminds us: “You are evolving rapidly, and the only thing holding you back is fear. Fear of loss of control.” But He is here to walk with us—to hold the Light as we move through doubts and fears, with support and love. We will be making more room for our true selves by dismantling the illusion self and all the imbalances it creates. This is where our work begins. “I will hold your hand through this process and you will hold Mine.” This journey is not just about personal transformation—it is about service to others. As we move deeper into peace, we light the way for others to do the same. “You are not a Light-worker. You are a Light-holder or Light-anchor. Through your movement to deeper Balance and Peace, you hold the Light, inspire, and liberate others to move deeper into their own. That is the service of your Yeshua self.” Key Takeaway We are being invited into a deeper connection with peace, balance, and authenticity. The journey begins with surrender, trust, and allowing ourselves to be. Reflection:How can you begin to listen to the quiet voice within? What is your soul asking for that it can no longer suppress?

	Ep. 1: Introduction (The Freedom Transmissions)	28 sept. 2024	00:17:45
Episode Summary: Introduction to The Freedom Transmissions (Pages 1-20) Let me ask you a question: If I told you there’s a pathway that could help you move into greater peace, balance, simplicity, freedom, forgiveness, authenticity, and wholeness, what would you say? You’d probably say, “I’m in!” or at least, “Tell me more.” So many of us long for ways to cultivate more of these feelings in our lives. However, this isn’t about a quick tip or solution—it requires discipline and devotion. It calls for fearless faith, non-resistance, and love. It invites us to have a curious mind and an open heart. This pathway helps us remember that we are connected to something greater than ourselves, whether we call that the Divine, Spirit, Infinite Intelligence, God, or something else. It reminds us that we are not alone, that we are not separate from the Divine—it is within us. This pathway is called The Freedom Transmissions. Welcome to my new series on Hold the Light, where I will be moving through The Freedom Transmissions chapter by chapter. If you’re here, whether out of curiosity or because you feel pulled toward this work, you are likely on your own path of spiritual growth, transformation, and the evolution of consciousness. So, welcome. You are meant to be here. This is the Introduction. What Is The Freedom Transmissions? Think of The Freedom Transmissions as a pathway to peace. The book is divided into two parts: * Part One: The Sacred Heart Transmissions * Part Two: The Freedom Transmissions, which consists of nine separate transmissions under this broader teaching. These transmissions are offerings, teachings, and wisdom from Yeshua, as channeled by Carissa Schumacher. Yes, that Yeshua. Some refer to Yeshua as Jesus—but this is not Jesus the man. Think of Yeshua as Christ Consciousness. So, who is Carissa? She is a forensic psychic medium, spiritual guide, and full-body channel for Yeshua. In 2019, she began receiving transmissions that became this book. If you’d like to hear more about the creation of this book, listen to my conversations with Carissa in Episodes 33 and 34. I also share crib notes to these episodes on my Substack, Hold the Light with Laurie Gunning Grossman. Links are in the show notes. Why This Series? I first read The Freedom Transmissions in December 2021, shortly after its publication. I didn’t know much about it, but I was drawn to it. As I read, the words Hold the Light jumped out at me, and I knew I would one day create something around those words. As I continued reading, I noticed an internal shift—a deeper peace, a stronger connection to my values, my authenticity, and a deeper awareness of something greater than myself. In March 2023, I attended my first Sacred Spirit Illumination Journey with Carissa in Sedona, Arizona. It became clear that I was meant to create this podcast, Hold the Light, and later, this series on The Freedom Transmissions. Even now, I am still learning, still discovering, and still deepening my understanding of this work. Because so many others are curious about The Freedom Transmissions, I thought: Let’s go through this together. How to Approach This Book Before we begin, here are some important things to keep in mind: * This book moves fast. Stick with it. We won’t cover everything in one reading, and that’s okay. * The Freedom Transmissions is not linear—it’s more like a meditation. There are words, and then there is the energy beneath the words. * I first read the book linearly, front to back, but now I revisit chapters based on what I need at the moment. You can read it however you wish. * If the name Yeshua doesn’t sit right with you, replace it with a name that does—Spirit, Infinite Intelligence, Love, Dear One, Grace—whatever resonates with you. * This is not a religious book. It is not about ideology or dogma. Yeshua is not here to shift your beliefs—He is here to shift your consciousness and illuminate new possibilities. * Read and listen. The audiobook offers resonance, vibrations, and activations through sound. * Do the exercises. The writing prompts, meditations, and prayers ground and integrate this wisdom into your being. * Keep an open mind. This book is here to meet you where you are. What to Expect From This Journey Through this book, you may experience: * Greater peace, balance, and joy * A deeper connection to your inner light * A release of anxiety, fear, and old patterns * Strengthening of faith, balance, and trust * The surfacing of emotions—both light and shadow—as energy shifts within you * An internal transformation that unfolds in its own time As you move through this book, Yeshua will introduce new energies both to you and to the collective. This is not just a me experience; it is a we experience. Your light is needed. Through these transmissions, Yeshua shows us how to step into our true selves—our most natural selves—rather than the illusion self shaped by fear and ego. This process requires curiosity, humility, acceptance, and surrender. If you are willing to embrace it, transformation will happen. As Carissa says, The Freedom Transmissions is a peace offering. Key Takeaway This book is not about seeking perfection, but about moving toward authenticity and peace. It is an invitation to remember who you truly are—a light-holder in this world. Reflection:How can you approach this journey with curiosity and openness? What resistance do you feel, and what would it take to release it? Next Steps: Read & Listen 📖 Read: Carissa’s introduction, especially pages 16-19, where she shares final suggestions before you begin. And Chapter 1: I AM Yeshua (Pages 23-33) 🎧 Listen: Yeshua Meditation at the top of Chapter 1 (I AM Yeshua) from 00:18 through 33:55 in the audiobook. Closing Thought:“…Yeshua provides us a Pathway to remember the Truth of what and who we really are: Love. Love in all of its different facets, faces, and emanations, shadow and Light. Regardless of beliefs, Yeshua shows us how to look beyond and within ourselves to rediscover the incredible Grace and Light we all hold. And the Miracles we are capable of through kindness, courage, compassion, and Love.” Thanks for listening. Keep holding the light.

	Ep. 32: Kathy Taylor, Psychic Medium, on Connecting with Spirit Guides & Loved Ones	02 sept. 2024	00:39:36
If you believe in spirit guides, are curious about spirit guides, or even wonder what it’s like to connect with loved ones who have crossed over, this episode is for you. I’m in a community of women where every week we talk about things that are somehow related to the spiritual or personal growth space. No topic or idea is off limits or judged, from energy healers to forensic mediums to equine therapists, we love sharing information about what we’ve discovered, tried, or have heard about. When one friend mentioned that they had a reading with a psychic medium that blew her mind, of course we all wanted details. This psychic medium is my guest today, Kathy Taylor. Kathy is a fourth-generation medium and has trained under Psychic Medium Lisa Williams with her International School of Spiritual Development and is certified as a Psychic Medium. To date, Kathy has done approximately 4,000 private readings, working with clients internationally. At the top of this year when we heard that she was reading for a live audience, I flew to New Jersey to see Kathy in person with my dear soul sister Jenn. We were both blown away by what we had witnessed. After the event was over, I knew that I wanted to talk with Kathy here on Hold the Light. As you’ll hear, this is where we start the conversation. We also talk about how she connects with people and spirit guides on the other side; she share one of the first lessons she learned about being a psychic medium; and she talks about our teams of Spirit guides – what and who they are made up of, and how we can each discover the main players on our personal teams.

	Ep. 31: Bex Urban, Yoga Guide on the Power of Retreating, Meditation, and Taking a Sacred Pause	26 août 2024	00:39:23
Bex Urban is a healer and guide in the world of yoga, pilates, meditation, and Reiki. Her approach focuses on bringing awareness to our breath as the essential link between mind, body, and movement. She emphasizes finding our center, balancing the body from the inside out, and using physical practice to forge a larger spiritual connection. Her positive energy inspires everyone she works with to show up, release, and build strength. I met Bex at a spiritual retreat where she led a beautiful breathwork exercise which encouraged us all to get grounded and connected. I appreciate the work she does in the world – and so that is why I wanted to talk with her here on Hold the Light. In our conversation, we talk about the act of retreating, and how we can retreat in our every day, including things we can do to help shape our day. We don't necessarily have go somewhere to retreat. We can do it in our own way at home. She shares wisdom on ways to help guide others, we talk about meditation and taking a sacred pause, and what she suggests people can do on a daily basis to bring greater levels of peace into their lives. If you’re wanting to add some new tools to your spiritual toolbox, this conversation is for you!

	Ep. 26: On Choosing Courage Over Comfort	11 mars 2024	00:10:07
In this solo episode, I share my thoughts on the statement "Courage over comfort." It's been one of my guiding lights this past year, but I had an interesting encounter with someone who didn't like that phrase. I'm sharing my story here -- and I also ask, who are we to know what's best for others? How can we strengthen our internal guidance system so that we make choices in our life based on our inner knowing and intuition. As Esther and Jerry Hicks (of Abraham-Hicks) says: “Others cannot understand the vibrational content of your desires, and they cannot understand the vibrational content of who you are, so they are not in any way equipped to guide you. Even when they have the very best intentions and want your absolute well-being, they do not know. And even though many of them attempt to be unselfish, it is never possible for them to separate their desire for you from their own desire for themselves.” YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE: Episode 1: How 20 Seconds of Courage Can Transform Your Life Do You Think You Know What’s Best?

	Ep. 25: Carissa Schumacher: Who Is Yeshua?	04 mars 2024	00:10:28
If you’ve been listening to Hold the Light these past weeks, you know that I’ve been sharing pieces of my conversation with Carissa Schumacher. In case you haven’t heard those episodes yet, a quick introduction: Carissa, who is one of my spiritual teachers, is a Forensic Psychic Medium, an empathic intuitive, a Sacred Ceremony Facilitator and a full-body Channel for Yeshua, with whom she co-created the book The Freedom Transmissions. You may have ideas when you hear the name Yeshua, and I did too. So, I wanted to hear from Carissa who Yeshua is to her. What is her definition? What she describes was so helpful to me – and I know to others who heard the full conversation – because there is such clarity – and beauty – in her answer.

Carissa is a Forensic Psychic Medium, an empathic intuitive, a Sacred Ceremony Facilitator and a full-body Channel for Yeshua, or Christ Consciousness. She’s also one of my spiritual teachers. When we spoke in our original conversation, Episode 23, one topic we discussed was how do we find peace and hope at this point in time? What can help us right now as we move into a new era and a new cycle on our planet? In case you haven’t heard that conversation yet, I want to share this excerpt with you because it feels important and necessary and expansive. As she says, "Be the moral, not the story."

	Ep. 23: Carissa Schumacher: 5 Ways to Create Structures That Support Your Spirituality	19 févr. 2024	00:23:38
For those on a spiritual growth path, or for those who are curious on how to cultivate this path, we often wonder how we can weave spirituality into our day-to-day lives. In a recent conversation on this podcast I asked my spiritual teacher Carissa Schumacher this question. I wanted to know: how can we hold the light and build it into a daily practice for ourselves? What structure is most conducive to opening our channel so that we can stay connected to our spirit and to the unseen? Especially when our lives can get consumed with a lot of doing, instead of simply being. Carissa, who is an intuitive psychic, medium, channel for Yeshua (or Christ Consciousness), and co-creator of the book The Freedom Transmissions has several suggestions for what could be helpful. She says to take what serves you and leave the rest behind. Something to keep in mind as you listen, Carissa mentions the vertical and the horizontal in this conversation. If you haven’t already listened to my full conversation with her on Episode 23 where she discusses this in detail, here are some crib notes: the vertical is our being or our consciousness – it’s that part of us that is Spirit inhabiting form. And the horizontal is our human lives, our egos, our identity constructs, and the societal norms that are placed within that. It’s basically our day-to-day lives, based in the realm of the doing. To listen to my full conversation with Carissa Schumacher – which of course I highly recommend – visit the show notes or find Episode 23 here on Hold the Light podcast.

Carissa is a facilitator who is willing to walk the walk. She has an incredible gift as a channel – and it does seem otherworldly – she embraces her human self and shares that with us. There is a lot of laughter and joy in her presence. So, while this episode is longer than usual, there is so much goodness shared here. I know that many of you listening are cautiously curious about The Freedom Transmissions and Carissa’s work. So keep an open mind and an open heart. This work is Universal… there’s something for everyone. Here we talk about what it means to hold the light; Carissa offers context and definition to Yeshua, as well as the vertical and the horizontal; she shares how people can create a daily structure to help them connect, or stay connected to their spiritual selves; and we cover so much more.

	Ep. 20: Dre Bendewald of The Art of Circling: How Magic Happens When Women Gather	29 janv. 2024	00:57:07
Today on the show I’m talking with Dre Bendewald, the founder and facilitator of The Art of Circling. The Art of Circling is a group mindfulness practice that uses ancient ritual in a modern setting. Through sharing stories, deep listening and meditation, The Art of Circling empowers people, strengthens communities, and heals and transforms lives. Dre, who is a certified council carrier from the Ojai Foundation in Ways of Council, has made it her life long mission to share these circles with as many women as possible around the world as a way to bring peace, harmony, and divine balance. We talk about the synchronicity of how we met; we talk about guidance, gratitude, and how we are always connected; we talk about a book that has deep meaning for us both, The Freedom Transmissions; and of course we talk about the art of circling. If you’re curious about what a circle is or what happens within a circle, you’ll want to hear Dre’s wisdom and stories in this conversation. And then, I suspect you’ll want to try one. Also, at the top of this conversation, you’ll hear us talk a bit about one of our shared teachers, Carissa Schumacher.

	Ep. 19: Kimo Kepano, Hawaiian High Seer: On Soul Color & How to Raise Our Vibration	22 janv. 2024	00:38:56
Today on the show I’m talking with Kimo Kepano, a Hawaiian High Seer who works as a multi-sensory energy healer, spiritual psychic medium, and educator. Education is a big part of Kimo and how he shares his gifts, and one of his goals is to teach individuals how to become their own version of a Seer. This is my third time talking with Kimo on a podcast – however it’s the first time here on Hold the Light, and I was thrilled to be back in conversation with him. He is such a light holder. In this conversation, we talk about how we each have a soul color, and how knowing the color of our soul – and what that color means – can help us to expand. Kimo also shares what to do when our soul falls out of alignment – he explains more about this; how we can each learn how to raise our own vibration; and he shares many wonderful stories around energy and how we can consciously work with it.
