Summary
We're experiencing times of unprecedented growth and SO many opportunities for humanity to evolve, both collectively and individually.
These times of change also bring with them chaos, confusion, fear, and resistance. Just as any inner process of transformation can trigger our egos and defense mechanisms, what we're seeing out in the world is a triggering of the collective EGO - which is fighting back and trying to distract us from our true paths of expansion and reclaiming our power.
In this impromptu episode of INNER WORK, I share some thoughts on how we can re-commit to our paths as Lightworkers and Light-leaders. Join me for a discussion of:
- the recent uptick in emails and questions I've gotten from people feeling anxious about how to discern TRUTH from illusion on their paths - and how this reflects a larger pattern
- the interference that's trying to distract us from being fully powerful and from doing our Soul-aligned work in the world
- not getting derailed by fear-mongering or ego-based agendas, either from outside OR from within the spiritual community
- leaning into the Akashic Records as a source of clear, meaningful, unbiased wisdom and guidance
- being mindfully alert and verifying everything you hear (from any teacher, healer, or anyone!) against your inner knowing and heart-wisdom

| 0:06.4 | Welcome to this impromptu episode of Inner Work. |
| 0:11.1 | I'm your host, Josephine Hartman, and I am so honored and thrilled that you are tuning in, |
| 0:18.6 | whether this is your first time here, welcome in, or whether you've |
| 0:23.6 | been here with me before, then welcome back. And thank you for continuing to spend time with me |
| 0:31.7 | through this podcast. So this is my third time trying to record this episode this morning because I'm just doing it |
| 0:41.0 | out of a flash of inspiration, was not planning on it. I'm going to do this with minimal editing. |
| 0:48.6 | And this is basically just a little bit of an expansion on the newsletter that I sent out today. |
| 0:57.9 | So if you are part of my email community, then you know on Friday mornings, I send out |
| 1:03.6 | my weekly newsletter, which is called the weekly seeker. |
| 1:09.5 | And so today is May 30th, 2025, Friday. |
| 1:14.1 | That has just gone out. |
| 1:16.1 | And I just felt called to talk about it a little bit, expand on it, riff on it, on the podcast |
| 1:23.4 | as well. |
| 1:24.9 | So here's a little bit of what I shared in that newsletter. So over the last few weeks |
| 1:31.5 | and even in the last couple of days, I've gotten an unusual number, so unusually high number |
| 1:40.3 | of emails and questions from people feeling anxious, feeling concerned about how to discern |
| 1:49.4 | truth and light from illusion. So how to be able to see through and beyond illusion into |
| 2:00.1 | the truth as they walk their spiritual paths. And I've been getting |
| 2:04.9 | questions about that in a lot of different ways, but that has been the general theme. So I think this is a |
| 2:13.2 | sign of the times we're in, which have been generally confusing and chaotic, it has been generally |
| 2:22.3 | difficult to discern truth from illusion and truth from falsehood. So I think it's just part of the |
