I’ve been studying and expanding again this year, working with both spiritual mentors and business mentors. I’m so grateful that I’ve been working together with the same mentors for the last four years. And, there’s a growing number of entrepreneurs in my circle who are travelling the same path - combining the involution of spirit and the evolution of business together for the last four years.
Involution of the spirit is about the path of manifesting spirit into matter. It’s about clearing away the emotional baggage of the past, and making room for your consciousness to grow and reflect what you originally came here to do.
Evolution is about the ascension of matter into spirit. It’s about building new structures, new power and new communities where no-one gets left behind. Power is only great when it is used for the common good.
The new world currency is consciousness, and you’re either living in alignment with yourself or you’re living a lie. The only way to get into alignment is to invest in your own self-development - the involution - AND to invest in your own evolution by creating the new structures and new power that support our communities.
There’s a lot of concern that artificial intelligence is a threat to the planet… which it absolutely is if we continue to use the same old systems of thinking based on the principles of scarcity and unconscious biases, such as ‘confirmation bias’ and ‘sunk-cost fallacy’.
Awaken
Scarcity thinking is so embedded into our unconscious - when we are operating in “survival mode” - that’s exactly where we are at. Each one of my first three books is specifically designed to bring awareness of the impact of living in survival mode, the traps of staying stuck in the drama and the opportunities that come from becoming aware that we are indeed trapped by our unconscious self-beliefs.
“Angry-as-Fuck, but no idea why?” was written about my grandmother who was exactly that. When I first started to write the book, I thought if I could stop one man from harming himself or others then it was all worthwhile. But it is abundantly clear from observing the shitshow of politics in the USA & the UK, that living in outrage and anger is a trap many people have fallen into. This shows that there is a way out of the trap of anger and outrage.
“Rescuer-in-Recovery. No one is f***ing coming to rescue you.” was written to talk to all the people that fall into the trap of being the saviour. When I wrote this, my intent was that I could awaken people to that trap, to show how self-sacrifice is in fact self-sabotage. This speaks to the people that would rather be dead than be wrong. That unconscious self-belief is one of the key reasons why people don’t seek to save themselves and our hospitals are full of sick folks who’ve always ‘done the right thing.’ This book shows that there is a way out of self-sabotage.
“I’m f***ing done. Navigate the storm of divorce” was written to talk to the vast number of people who end up divorced, despite their very best intentions when they agreed to marry in the first place. This speaks to the trap of victim consciousness and the fear of being excluded. The trap here is that we blame others rather than taking responsibility for our own feelings and emotions that keep us trapped in the drama triangle. Moving from victim thinking, to saviour thinking and across into aggressor and back into victim. And we end up divorced because of that. This book shows that there is a way out of the victim-thinking that got us to the point of divorce in the first place.
Awakening from the traps is not easy or straightforward, and there are many days of ‘one-step forwards and two-steps back.’ And then we arrive, and we realise that we’re no longer in survival, and we’re ready to rise.
Rise
The “dark night of the soul” when we feel like we’ve hit rock bottom sometimes happens in the daytime too. I had done many self-development courses: Landmark, Chris Howard, Dr John Demartini and had spent hundreds of hours studying and qualifying in hypnotherapy and neuro-linguistic programming. But none of it made a real difference, and I ended up divorced not once but twice.
Being trapped in the drama triangle got me to rock bottom, and I ended up burned out and broke. Then I discovered the power of emotional clearing, and since I started using these somatic body-aligned transformation techniques, my entire life turned around. I went from burned out and broke to thriving, and I loved it so much I trained myself in both the basic and the advanced techniques, and took on new clients. I created the program “Ready to Rise” and took my clients through this program.
My clients and I got such amazing results in our lives, I wrote my fourth book. Most of us had survived a separation and divorce, were children or grand-children of refugees and survivors of war and famine.
“Making Darkness Visible. Get your shit sorted out and create a life of delicious adventure” book tells the stories of exactly how my clients, and I, got our shit sorted out and how we created a life of delicious adventure. How we found strength, power, heart and courage to take our lives to the next level by becoming aware of our unconscious emotions and biases.
My clients are travelling the world with infants, running multiple businesses, investing in property and having the adventures that they have been craving for years.
Thrive
When we push ourselves to the next level, we are pushing ourselves outside our comfort zone and we encounter all sorts of internal conflicting beliefs that disempower us. The unconscious beliefs that we associate with personality archetypes block us from stepping into our own power.
Personality archetypes are cross-cultural, we all have them - it doesn’t matter if you were brought up in China, USA, Singapore or in an Australian first-nations culture. In each case, we have built our own complex values and beliefs about each personality archetype that come from our unique family and cultural heritage.
In my thrive program, we do one quantum clear per month over 10 months. These advanced clearings are deep and shift the unconscious beliefs that you have inherited from generations past. In a quantum clear on a single archetype, we do 18 root-clears, 14 personality clears and 12 different types of heart-clears. They can take up to 2 hours and we go deep. That is why we only do one per month. By the end of the year, the traps and beliefs that were hidden deep will have been revealed and the emotions associated with them cleared away.
You will become the person that you were always meant to be without the baggage of your family and your culture. The way that you identify with yourself will be profoundly more powerful and alive. You will be thriving in alignment with your true self and fully awakened with a powerful consciousness that is priceless. You will be power for the thriving of the common good.
Awaken, Rise and Thrive
Over the next year, I’m going to be promoting all of my books, and my Ready-to-Rise offer on my new website and I’m aiming to do a lot more public speaking events here in Singapore. Check out www.justinlodge.com., and you’re going to see a lot more promotional activity on my website as I go.
