Dr. Judith begins her series on habits, behaviors, and perspectives that inadvertently can entrap or create barriers to Soul growth, and in most cases, unknowingly. She shares how criticism and condemnation, (including judgment) create negative states of thinking, feeling, and actions, creating roadblocks to actual Soul progress and what might be the better quality or skill to gain mastery around. It is a widespread belief that criticism, condemnation and judgment helps us in some particular way and accept it as part of life’s ups and downs. Dr. Judith challenges this belief by asking if there is a better way that aligns with mastery and Soul progress?
Dr. Judith talks about self-mastery from a soul perspective and the importance of managing negative thoughts, feelings, reactions, behaviors, and deeds. She gives the seeker some of her ideas to move toward greater mastery. These consist of improving your observation abilities, keeping focused on one's Higher Power, seeing life experiences as opportunities, the need for self-discipline, and having the composure to hear your soul promptings. As we master ourselves, we have greater abilities to master expected and unexpected situations that come our way. Having greater self-mastery allows us to have a more fulfilling, happier, and joyful life.
Dr. Judith continues the discussions with Christi Holder, LMBT, on the challenges Frodo encounters. Dr. Judith infuses the conversation with the potential significance of Soul development, mission, and challenges into the discussion. We discuss his journey in fulfilling his mission as he tries to carry the ring, which is becoming more complicated and weighty. Sam, his best friend, continues encouraging him to keep moving to complete his mission, which only he can fulfill!
Dr. Holder has a special guest, a movie buff, a connoisseur of movies, Christi Holder, LMBT, who gives commentary on Lord of the Rings, which I have seen parts of, but she has seen the trilogy, which many of you may have as well. As she talks about the character Frodo, I give thoughts about the Soul testing, opportunities, growth, and his mission. The movie is based on Tolkien’s masterful work. Stay tuned for Part II of the discussion released on January 4, 2023!

Dr. Judith is curious about convictions, habit patterns, and how to move toward self-mastery.

Dr. Judith describes five (5) common judgments and asks you to consider which judgments take place in your thinking. She shares the importance of making a shift out of nonstop judgments by quickly catching oneself, asking yourself questions, being willing to pivot, and focus on what advances your connection with your Soul and Soul Source. She refers the listener (seeker) to previous episodes (#5 and #8), highlighting more of what she discusses in this current episode on judgments.

Dr. Judith discusses four Soul states (i.e., asleep, dozing, partially awake, engaged-ascending Soul) on the path in Soul evolution, the experience of the ego-persona, and the role of the great mediator, Jesus. She tells two stories: the ‘Tortoise and the Hare’ and the ‘Baby Eagle and the Big Eagle’ as representation of the soul, ego-persona, and Jesus representing the role of the Mediator along with other saints, as examples of helpers to our ongoing Soul advancement. *From Dr. Holder’s second book (2020 e-book): Opening Up to Your Divinity: Practical Strategies and Practices for Soul Growth.
Dr. Judith talks about times you can ‘fall out of warp’ with what is helpful to you and how those around you, like family and/or friends can see it quicker than yourself. Falling out of warp is like not being in sync with your Soul, which may be due to fearfulness, uncertainty, being overly concerned about what others might think, say, or do. The result is that you aren’t hearing the promptings of your Soul of what and how to do something. It is as if a wall goes up of static hindering your connection with the substance of your life, your Soul. This is where the importance of having a community of like-mined Souls, where others can see aspects about you that you may not initially see. This helps you to reduce the static and get back on the ‘beam’, the path to your Source.
Dr. Judith talks about trust, our assumptions, and convictions; and discerning when to “trust and confirm-verify”. She ties this into, in part, to the language of your Soul, like a newborn baby whose different cries are trying to communicate something to us. In cultivating a sensitivity to your Soul, we can hear the Soul’s prompting and positively act on those prompting(s). She tells the story of having a cell phone speaker problem, which relates to trust and verify, and a phrase her mother used while growing up (Good, Better, Best), which drives home the point of what your Soul wants.
