Discover How to Systematically Listen to Your Truth
247 Plays4 years ago
All of us have a guided intuition. It comes in the sense of “I need to call a friend” or “I need to make a change”—and really, we can just feel it. But most of us, most of the time, are disconnected from that sense. It’s there, it’s inside us, and it’s always been inside us—but sometimes, it’s hard to stay connected to it, because life is busy, we aren’t paying attention, and even when we do listen, it’s elusive. And most of the time, it can be hard to know what the next steps are—and how, exactly, we can live a deeply authentic life. But for those of us that are committed to living an authentic life (meaning—a life that’s filled with joy, a life that’s lived from our truths, and a life that aligns with who we are), I’ve been really lucky to discover something. And that discovery, simply, is the Akashic Records—a way to systematically listen to your truth.

Introduction to The Art of Authenticity
00:00:22
Speaker
Welcome to this week's episode of The Art of Authenticity. I'm Laura Coe, your host, and thank you guys so much for tuning in.
00:00:31
Speaker
First of all, I just want to say thank you to everybody who has stuck with me as I have been exploring what authenticity means for me lately. And as I've been exploring that, I've had to take a bit of a break from podcasting and writing and getting out in public and really go deep within myself because that's where our truths reside.
00:00:54
Speaker
And so I spent the last two years really going deep inside of myself and thinking about what it is that I want to do this next chapter, what really feels authentic and meaningful to
Exploration of Authenticity and Personal Growth
00:01:06
Speaker
me. And it's been a bit of a rocky road, I'm not going to lie. As I've said a million times on this podcast,
00:01:14
Speaker
Living an authentic life does not mean that you just arrive in a space of authenticity and you get to hang out there. It's something you're interacting with all the time. It's a space of your truth, what makes sense to you at this point in your life. And of course, that's always changing and moving as you are always evolving and growing.
00:01:34
Speaker
So I find myself sitting here with this great body of work. And I had a book and a podcast, and things were going great. But I felt everything I could say or do from that perspective had been done. And I was wondering what was next. What's the next step in my own evolution that I can then bring out to you guys and hopefully that will resonate and help you in some way in your own process or evolution or journey.
00:02:04
Speaker
Some of the time I spent was really just being alone and reflective, and some of it was finding new love in my life and changing chapters and relationships and really thinking about this next body of work, the next book.
00:02:20
Speaker
And so in that journey, I fell into this new system called an Akashic record, which I'm going to tell you about in a second. But the idea is essentially, right, we all have the answer we want within us. And every moment in time, our truth is always sitting within us. It's not outside of us. We're always seeking and looking to find something in the jobs or the people or
00:02:47
Speaker
different walks of life, maybe somebody will help us in an understanding.
Internal Truth and External Seeking
00:02:52
Speaker
And we're seeking and seeking reading a book, going on another meditation retreat, doing yoga, whatever it is, which is all wonderful, but our truth is never out there, it's within us.
00:03:03
Speaker
We have to interact with the world to find that truth because it's not just sitting on a couch somewhere where you're going to find it. But the answer will be within you. You'll have a knowing, a sense. And this is what I've been teaching people for the last decade. This is what I've been interested in. What is that sense? How do we know when we've arrived? What's the difference between the mind and that sense? The mind is here to navigate. The internal sense is the knowing within us. It's not outside of us.
00:03:31
Speaker
And so from there, you find your truth and you set your compass, right? This is where I want to go. And you say to yourself, OK, I just have to get there. And this is what I've really been discovering in the last two years. While I've gotten so good at living from my truth and knowing that I am where I need to be and knowing that where I'm going is the direction that I want to go. And when I listen to this internal guidance,
00:03:57
Speaker
I always end up feeling aligned in my life. I still found that the process was really challenging, right? Why is it moving so slowly? Why have I not found the next body of work? What is it that I'm grappling with this moment? And I thought I still needed to seek for that. Now what I've learned is that
00:04:18
Speaker
this part is within you as well. It's the lesson that you need to learn. There's nothing outside of you in the way. I mean, of course there is sometimes there is something practical or technical that you need to do in the real world. I need to physically move or change jobs or what have you. But the
00:04:39
Speaker
Lesson beneath that, right? Because we all know how to get things done in our life. It's the, what is it? What is the pattern repeating? We see it in our friends. We see people changing jobs or changing relationships or moving or doing all sorts of things externally, but they're repeating the same pattern.
00:04:58
Speaker
So it's the lesson, right? So I can tell myself, this is my truth. This is what I want in my life. I want to write this next body of work. And I know, I have a knowing that that's true for me, but what's in the way, right? And the answer is it's me. It's always me. It's the lesson, right? It's my relationship to the lesson. Maybe I need to learn gratitude, but it's in my understanding of gratitude that will release me
00:05:26
Speaker
and allow me to move forward. It's not time. It's not seeking. It's not knowledge.
Internal Lessons and Akashic Records
00:05:31
Speaker
It is truly the lesson. And when you get in right relationship to the concept, say you're lacking gratitude and you
00:05:41
Speaker
actually start to work on gratitude, but you do it because you actually understand conceptually how to work on gratitude, then everything in my life move forward. So that's been the part that's been missing, this idea of not only is my truth within me, but the lesson is within me. And the lesson isn't just knowing that I need to work on gratitude, it's getting in right relation to gratitude. So that's what I've been up to for the last year. I found the system called an Akashic record.
00:06:11
Speaker
Akasha is primary substance. It's the essence of what is everything. It's a very ancient idea. I stumbled upon these Akashic records. I've been seeing somebody for the last two years and we went to do it for fun. I'm always interested in new modalities. And I walked into a room. A set of sentences were said. It's a
00:06:38
Speaker
incantation, basically. And those sentences open up what is my soul's history over many lifetimes. I was very skeptical. I've always been skeptical until I try things. And
00:06:53
Speaker
I don't know what to tell you. The truth was so resonant. It hit me in every bone in my body to be true. Everything that this woman said, she spoke these sentences, she opened up my Akashic record, this space, this energetic space where my soul's history is stored. And in that moment, she started to speak these truths. She started to tell me what lessons I needed to learn. And she started to explain,
00:07:21
Speaker
details about me that honestly my best friends don't know. I can't really fully articulate. I have a knowing and a sense that they're true, but she started to put towards everything in my life. And that allowed me to unlock. It was like the key that unlocked everything that I needed to get momentum.
00:07:43
Speaker
And within a year, not only have I feel like I've rebuilt my life, I feel as if I have learned more than I've ever learned. I feel that the things in my way have just been unlocked one thing after the next. And I've also started writing this new work. I have almost an entire new book done in about eight months. And they're all written
00:08:07
Speaker
with me entering into the Sakashik realm, I learned how and I do these readings for people. But I opened up my own records and this energetic space, think of it like you and I talk on a cell phone and when I dial your phone, I reach out to you. There's a way in which my
00:08:29
Speaker
a cell phone connects to yours. Well, there's an energetic space where we are all interconnected. And so I'm opening up that space. And from there, not only am I reaching into this energy space, but I'm getting guided. I'm getting guided with information I'm writing. And while it's me and a lot of it feels resonant to who I am, I'm also learning things from my own writing.
Writing a New Book and Invitation to Listeners
00:08:53
Speaker
I'm tapping into an ancient wisdom and that's being channeled through me to some degree onto these pages. And so I would write 10 pages in an hour, sort of poetic philosophical writings on the nature of different topics. And I'd learned from my own writings, which was amazing. And what I realized was my understanding of these topics, love, jealousy, approvals, what have you,
00:09:23
Speaker
were so misguided. And so I really had to rethink my understanding of these things to learn the lesson so that I could move to the next space in my life to do the things that I wanted to do, to unlock more of myself, right? Because that's what it's all about. By unlocking
00:09:44
Speaker
By these understandings, by learning these lessons, I am getting deeper into myself. I am opening up myself more. I'm becoming more and more authentic because less and less is in the way. And that way I'm not kept in my own ability to grow and take on new things and evolve. And that's what I believe it's all about. Evolution. Evolution of self in this lifetime, over many lifetimes, and
00:10:12
Speaker
I just can't tell you how excited I am that I have found this in my life and that I get to share it with you. So I hope that this is exciting to you. I'm going to walk you through some of these new pieces, have people on to talk about them, and explore these ideas with you. If you're interested in learning more, check me out at loraco.com.

00:10:38
Speaker
And thank you for being patient. Thank you for allowing me to dive into my next level of authenticity to find what is true for me in this moment in time and to stay with me on this journey. Once again, if you're interested, lauraco.com, you can check out the new work there.
