Be Your Own Teacher: Jubilee, Presence, Grace, and Creating From Within

Remembering Identity and Introducing a Co-Host

Aero opens A St. Thomas Show with a theme centered on inner truth, awakening, and reclaiming personal power, then introduces herself as Saint Thomas, also called Aero. She describes her mission as helping people remember who they are and participate in creating peace on Earth. For this episode she welcomes Rob as co-host, thanks the BBS Radio support team and production manager Sheila, and invites listeners to submit questions or connect through the related Sunday programming.

Jubilee, Music, and the Episode's Spiritual Frame

Aero frames the discussion through her personal spiritual interpretation of "jubilee," describing it as freedom, self-ownership, and the end of conflict within her own experience. Before moving into the main conversation, she references the film Jupiter Ascending and performs part of Blondie's "Rapture" while connecting its imagery to her disclosure-oriented beliefs. She also mentions Avi Kaplan's "Change on the Rise" as music that powerfully represents jubilee and inner transformation for her.

Learning From Others Without Giving Away Authority

The central conversation begins with Sheila's statement that everyone has their own song to dance to. Sheila explains that poetry often functions as a message to herself and that her lesson has been to become her own teacher rather than expecting Spirit or outside teachers to provide every answer. Aero agrees that mentors can demonstrate qualities a person seeks, such as calmness or peace, but says any guidance still must be taken inward and discerned personally.

Presence, Self-Trust, and Letting Old Stories Go

Rob reflects on being raised Catholic and on society's tendency to teach people to look outside themselves for spiritual validation. He says that, over time, he has learned to trust his own inner authority rather than repeatedly retell painful events or seek outside confirmation. Aero and Rob discuss The Power of Now, noticing mental habits, returning attention to the present moment, and treating lapses in presence with humor rather than self-punishment.

Recovery Experiences and Differing Personal Paths

The three speakers share differing experiences with recovery and emotional processing. Sheila and Aero describe twelve-step recovery as meaningful in their lives, with Aero explaining that meetings helped her learn to speak publicly and that she still identifies as a recovering alcoholic. Rob explains that twelve-step programs were not right for him and presents his personal belief that his substance use related to unresolved trauma rather than an identity he wished to claim. Aero emphasizes that the show is not offering one answer for everyone, but encouraging listeners to find their own truth.

Synchronicity, Grace, and Living in the Flow

The episode closes with the speakers discussing inherited patterns, synchronicity, everyday presence, and grace toward oneself and others. Aero references an article from ForThePeople.space and shares practices she associates with remaining in the present moment, including nature, rest, breathing, and focusing on peace rather than fear. Rob shares examples from daily life in which he felt the difference between forcing efficiency and moving in flow, while Sheila concludes by encouraging listeners to sing their own song, even if they must create the words themselves.

Mission:
To participate in Human Experience that together we are Creating A New Earth In Peace

I am HERE NOW; You can call me Aero. I am here to TEACH/protect/continue the Integrity of my brother's WORK

2000ish years ago, my Twin Brother was called Emmanuel, or as I like to call him, Yeshua. You might have learned him as JESUS. The dARK tortured and killed my brother and our friends. They were hung on poles (not crosses) in the middle of town; making a STATEMENT to the people, "This is what happens if you follow these guys!" The dARK continued to rule this planet. They created Religions- ALL Organized Religions. They called my brother "JESUS", and wrote an entire belief system around HIM. Other belief systems were written.

LINK:  https://forthepeople.space/emmanuel

ALL BELIEF SYSTEMS THAT DIRECT YOU TO WORSHIP SOMETHING OUTSIDE OF YOURSELF IS FALSE.

THE TRUTH IS = SOURCE GOD IS WITHIN US! ((Source GOD is NOT in the STARS! The guy (guys) in the stars are dARK (god) aliens that raised US and fed off US like cattle!)) They are scared of US KNOWING WHO WE ARE!

2000ish years ago, three Light Ambassadors from SOURCE, came to Earth in the body of Yeshua. Today the HUMAN Body has been dimmed down so far that one body cannot hold 3 Light Beings. We EACH, entered this dimension. We exploded into 1000s of bodies. (There are 1000s of Jesus HERE!) Some have been captured, some destroyed, but the LIGHT has assisted US into a Higher Frequency than ever before! THIS IS OUR ASCENSION! WE ARE HERE NOW!

The TRUTH is shocking:

  • It shocks the ground we stand on
  • It disintegrates everything we think we know
  • It disintegrates our beliefs, our Faith!

As You learn the horrific TRUTH of What Has Happened, REMEMBER:

  • IT IS OVER
  • THE WAR HAS BEEN WON
  • THE CHILDREN HAVE BEEN RESCUED
  • THE dARK, THE eNEMY, HAS BEEN & IS CONVICTED & HELD ACCOUNTABLE

This SHOW is about, "What Do We Do Now..."

  • Celebrate & Live In Peace
  • ACT from OUR HEARTS INSPIRATION
  • We call in More of Our LIGHT Body Energy Now
  • WE ARE CREATING NEW EARTH
  • THE GREAT EVENT 2017-2027
  • HUMAN SPIRITUAL VICTORY
  • LIGHT WON

Happy Eternal Life, LUV Aero

Speaker 1 - Prerecorded Theme Vocalist:

You can feel it, can't you?

Something shifting, something breaking through.

This isn't just a voice; this is a signal.

Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm.

They told you where to look for truth,

somewhere distant, far from you.

Built up walls inside your mind

so you would never truly find.

But in the silence, in the space,

there's something time cannot erase:

a quiet knowing, deep and slow,

calling you to take control.

No more waiting. No more doubt.

Welcome to A St. Thomas Show,

where the truth begins to glow.

Not above and not below;

it's alive inside your soul.

This is where the veils come down,

where the lost are finally found.

Hear the call; it's time to know:

you're alive on A St. Thomas Show.

Every system starts to fade.

Every fear begins to break.

What was hidden comes to life;

day emerges from the night.

You don't need a crown or throne;

you will never not be your own.

Every answer that you seek

lives within; it's yours to speak.

Feel it rising. Feel it now.

Welcome to A St. Thomas Show,

where the fire starts to grow.

[Unclear sung lyric]

with the truth you came to know.

Step beyond the old control.

Take it back; reclaim your role.

This is where your power flows,

right here on A St. Thomas Show.

No more searching outside.

No more giving your life away.

This is the moment. This is the day.

Stand up. Awaken. Remember.

Awaken. Remember. Become.

This is A St. Thomas Show.

Feel the energy explode.

A new world begins to show

from the seeds we choose to grow.

No more fear. No more lies.

See it now with open eyes.

Hear it, feel it, let it flow.

Oh, this is A St. Thomas Show.

You're not tuning in;

you're waking up to A St. Thomas Show.

Speaker 2 - Aero / Saint Thomas:

Greetings, greetings, greetings, salutations. This is A St. Thomas Show. I am Saint Thomas. You can call me Aero. I came to this Earth to participate in the human experience. I was born just like you, in a human vessel, and they wiped my memories, so I was born without remembering who I was. I did not know.

What I am bringing to the table is how we get to remember who we are. Together, we are creating a new Earth in peace. That is my mission here: to participate in facilitating Earth in peace.

I am not bringing a guest on today. I am so excited to bring a co-host. Rob, are you in the house?

Speaker 3 - Rob:

I'm here. Thank you for having me. I love the opening music. It sounds custom-made.

Speaker 2 - Aero / Saint Thomas:

It is by Don and an AI computer.

Speaker 3 - Rob:

Okay, perfect. I was going to say, "Did you find this?" It is spot-on.

Speaker 2 - Aero / Saint Thomas:

Yes, it is perfect. I am always thanking him for that song, and he wants to give some credit to AI. I have talked with him at length about how to use a computer and how to use this AI, and he is a master at it. He is really good at honing in the right way with that computer.

It is a working relationship with these new AIs that we are all learning. That is how I see it. We are all learning to use this new AI in a friendly and compatible way.

If our audience today would like to get hold of you, is there information you would like to put out on how to reach you?

Speaker 3 - Rob:

Yes. I have a YouTube channel, and I usually supply an email there as well. If people want to reach out, I do not check it as often as I should, but I try to check it every once in a while. Sometimes I forget about it because it is not my main email, but I try to keep it separate so it does not get lost among other things. I can share that after the show, if you wish.

Speaker 2 - Aero / Saint Thomas:

Sure, because I think we are going to put it on the page. Right now, if somebody wants to email me, there are email contacts on my sister's show, which is the alternating Sunday show at the same time, noon Central on BBS. It is Project Review with Q&A [show title requires verification], and there are email addresses there if you want to reach me.

I have been answering some questions. People have been emailing me there, and I think we will put both of our email contacts on this show's page. I am inspired by the questions coming in. It is very helpful. The other show is a call-in show, so people are welcome to call in. Sometimes we are just a little bashful, and I am surprised that people are sending in questions. It is fun and inspiring to answer them.

Speaker 3 - Rob:

Yes, it is great that they are coming in. We all have questions on this journey at some point, so I think it is wonderful and important that people write in.

Speaker 2 - Aero / Saint Thomas:

I forgot my thank-yous. I want to thank Don and Doug at BBS Radio, who are one hundred percent our technical support. Thank you to Sheila, the production manager. She is in the house today. And thank you to the subscribers and listeners. Your support is golden. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I have a song today because I wanted to bring one in. This is my Christian show. I like to direct this show to my Christian sisters and brothers; they are in my heart.

I know there is a lot of information coming out, like this movie we are all talking about, Jupiter Ascending. It is hard to digest the idea that we were not born on Earth, that we were seeded here, and then raised as cattle to be fed, right?

Speaker 3 - Rob:

Yes, it is really hard. It is a tough one to swallow. It seems like, "No, that cannot be." You think these things are just science fiction. But when you really start understanding how things operate, it is a process. It takes years of processing it, because it is going to seem so outlandish, as though it cannot be real.

Then you start catching on, and things start happening in certain ways. You start catching the glitches, coming to that awareness, and saying, "Oh, geez, we have been so lied to here."

Speaker 2 - Aero / Saint Thomas:

Yes. This is not the topic for the show; it is just a little disclosure. It is a catchy little tune that talks about "rapture." My disclosure term for today is that rapture was really an alien feast, maybe the alien harvest of us.

This is a catchy little Blondie tune from the eighties, and I am going to sing it. I encourage you in the future, Rob: if you ever want to sing, you have the platform now.

Speaker 3 - Rob:

Oh, geez. Thank you. I am used to doing it in my shower at home.

Speaker 2 - Aero / Saint Thomas:

All right. My brother is the one who got me doing this. Let's do it.

Speaker 2 - Aero / Saint Thomas, Musical Performance:

[Aero performs an excerpt from Blondie's "Rapture," including the song's "man from Mars" narrative. The automated transcription of the sung excerpt contains multiple lyric errors; the source audio should be checked before publishing a complete lyric transcription.]

All right, that is my little Blondie version.

Speaker 3 - Rob:

Woo!

Speaker 2 - Aero / Saint Thomas:

I want to back it up, because what we are going to talk about is jubilee. Jubilee is what we celebrate. This is for us. This is because we are ascending; we are breaking free. To me, jubilee is personal, and so I claim the war is over, because the war is over for me. I am not attacked. I have fully owned my vessel. No one has control over this vessel. No one has control over me or any of my bodies, whether they are energy bodies, light bodies, or all my bodies.

We celebrate because jubilee is where we find our heart's expression. We find who we are, and we start expressing.

There is a wonderful song, and I am not going to sing the whole song, just a line. One of my powerhouse singers - most of my songs are by women, but this is a man - is Avi Kaplan. He has such a deep, beautiful voice. He has a song called "Change on the Rise," and he sings, "[lyric quotation requires verification]." It is a powerhouse song for me.

Speaker 3 - Rob:

What is it called again?

Speaker 2 - Aero / Saint Thomas:

It is called "Change on the Rise" by Avi - A-V-I - Kaplan.

Speaker 3 - Rob:

Yes, he does some good stuff too.

Speaker 2 - Aero / Saint Thomas:

I love that. I do not know the name for the low voice when men sing. You know the names of those tones, don't you? Tenor? Is tenor the lowest one?

Speaker 3 - Rob:

I do not know. There might be something a little lower. Pavarotti is one of the tenors, so unless there is something lower than Pavarotti, I do not know. I think you are looking for baritone.

Speaker 2 - Aero / Saint Thomas:

Baritone? I will take it. Is it deeper than tenor?

Speaker 3 - Rob:

It is deeper than tenor. Bass and baritone - I am not sure exactly - but I think baritone is what you mean.

Speaker 2 - Aero / Saint Thomas:

Tenor sounds familiar, like somebody said I was tenor. I am not the high-pitched girl; I am lower-pitched. I am not the lowest, but I am not the highest. Anyway, we will get emails from music scholars who know what I am talking about.

What I do want to talk about is how we are creating. We are the creators, and what are we creating? We are always creating, but this is about becoming aware of our creating.

As we start seeking ourselves, Sheila, since you are already in the house, let's start with you. There is a quote I love from you: "We all have our own song to dance to," which means it is all our own personal journeys. You said you had a lifetime lesson. Is that something you could elaborate on for us?

Speaker 4 - Sheila:

A lot of the messages I receive come out in poetry, but I recognize that they are messages to me. They remind me to dance my own song and sing my own tune.

I have a tendency to go to teachers and try to get answers from teachers: "Tell me what you want me to know." I have even discovered in the last week that I am acting as though my spirit is my teacher. And so I have stopped getting answers, because it is kind of like, "No, you are supposed to find the answer." Spirit is looking to me to find the answer, and I am looking to spirit, saying, "Just give me all the answers to the test, man."

Speaker 2 - Aero / Saint Thomas:

Is that what we call going within?

Speaker 4 - Sheila:

Yes.

Speaker 2 - Aero / Saint Thomas:

For me, at the beginning of my journey, I did look outward. I was looking for teachers because I would be attracted to something. I might see somebody around me handle a situation calmly when I would have been off the charts yelling and screaming. I would have lost my cool. So I would be attracted to the person who was able to remain in peace and remain calm.

Now that I have an awareness of myself, because I have been going inside, I can see that they simply had a quality of expression I was seeking. I wanted more of that. So it is okay to reach out to teachers, per se. Since many of us know Shane, I might reach out to him and get his take on something. But I have found that he is not always right for me, per se. He is right for him. He says, "This is how it is for me," and I accept that.

Then I have to go within with that information and determine whether it resonates in my heart. There might be helpful nuggets in it. When you reach out to a teacher, you might ask, "How did you do that? How do you stay in peace?"

I had a lot of fear in my life. The Power of Now came to me about twenty years ago because I sat down with a woman in a twelve-step recovery group. I became aware that I had a lot of fears, and she said reading The Power of Now really helped her. So I tried it. I try things other people suggest.

Rob, do you reach out to other people, obtain information from other people, or go within? How does that digest with you?

Speaker 3 - Rob:

I think there is a natural tendency to search outside of ourselves because of how we are raised. You are trying to reach a Christian audience, and I was raised Catholic for many years until I decided to leave. I remember being an eight-year-old kid in church and asking everybody, "Have you ever met God or Jesus?" Nobody had met them. I used to joke that our parents always told us not to talk to strangers, but then they wanted us to pray every night to two people we had never met. I thought, "Isn't that like talking to strangers?"

Seeking validation from an authoritative figure outside ourselves is so deeply ingrained in society that you might already have the answers; you just do not trust them. Sometimes, whether I look to a book or something else, we are seeking validation: "Yes, this is what I thought too, but where I grew up, people do not believe that."

Sometimes we are not looking for the answer itself. We are looking for confirmation of the answer we already know to be true. We are born into families, cultures, and societies, so we seek validation from outside, even if only to relate to ourselves and say, "Yes, that is how I truly feel, even though the people around me do not feel the same way."

I think that is natural. Then you reach a certain age or point - maybe not age, but conscious awareness - where you really start trusting yourself. You say, "I know that deep inside. I do not need to seek external validation, because I am my own authority now." Nobody told us growing up that the answers are within, that God is within, or that Source is within you. We cannot beat ourselves up for looking outside, so to speak, because that is so pervasive in our society.

Speaker 4 - Sheila:

For me, the danger is that I call it collaboration and communication with others who help you understand something better because it is a different mirror to look at. But then I ask Spirit, "Okay, tell me what to do next." And the answer is, "No, Sheila, you are supposed to figure that out for yourself."

Collaboration is what we are here for, as far as I am concerned: to learn from each other at one level, but then to take it into our own creation.

Speaker 2 - Aero / Saint Thomas:

Sheila, you already gave a little nugget of the answer. When you and I talked about "we all have our own song to dance to," you said your lifetime lesson was to be your own teacher. My question was: how do we do that? You mentioned poetry. Is that one way we might be our own teachers, through outlets of expression like that?

Speaker 4 - Sheila:

Yes, I think so. Poetry is what it is; it is all in how you read it, so it is a nice outlet. Sometimes it gives me very stark visuals as I go, and other times I get more questions. The questions bother me.

On the subject of collaboration, one of the ways I have found my own answers over the years is through twelve-step programs. I had a sponsor, and I am very positive that my first sponsor was in spiritual attunement with me. She was very good. She never told me what my answers were.

Especially in the beginning, I would call her and just talk and talk. She let me hear myself. Sometimes she repeated back what she heard me say, and I might need to explain, "No, that is not really what I meant," but that was what I had been saying. She helped me become aware of the things I was saying, thinking, and feeling.

I had never turned that mirror inward. I was always judging others, and I did not want to judge myself because I had all those old tapes of being worthless and a piece of crap. She helped me become aware and observe my thoughts and what I was saying.

Today, that is golden, because now I know I am creating the reality around me at all moments. I can see how I am creating it through my talking, my thoughts, and my expression of feeling. It helps to have a trusted friend who is not going to repeat my private sharing, and perhaps someone who does not want to take on the role of having my answers.

My friends in my life today are just there as a sounding board. They listen. They might contribute their two cents from their own lives, but I used to reach out to people who wanted to tell me what to do, fix me, or have my answers. Those people just do not exist in my life today.

Speaker 3 - Rob:

It is good that you said that, because I have found that it comes with the process. As you start trusting yourself and your spirit - your divinity within you, your own authority - it becomes easier. If you start doing things other people recommend because they say to do them, it might not be right for you.

If it does not work out the way you thought, or you had something in your heart and they told you to do something else and you did it, you can become resentful: "I did what you said, and it did not work out." But perhaps you did it halfheartedly, knowing what they told you was not really what you wanted to do in your heart. You trusted them because they were successful or because they had done something.

Now I catch myself, as you were saying, Aero, by being aware of my thoughts. Recently I have gone through a few things in my life. Even five years ago, I would have called my brother or one of my best friends that day and said, "Can you believe this? I cannot believe it." I would have perpetuated the story.

Now I think that I would just be creating that self-fulfilling prophecy. First of all, I would be bringing them down onto my timelines, and I do not want to do that. I went through something and I went through it alone. I did not tell anybody, ask for opinions, or share it. It is not that I am hiding it from them; it is simply not relevant anymore.

When you start understanding timelines and what takes our life-force energy, you understand what is worth bringing up. I realized that I had old tapes playing. If I tell one person, then I have to retell the story to my brother, my best friend, and my mom. I do not want to spend my precious life telling the same unpleasant story that happened yesterday morning three more times this weekend, as I used to do.

My time is of so much value that it is compartmentalized now: that was yesterday, and I am creating something new. The issue is still there, and it will be resolved or not in the process, but it is not part of my reality today. Wherever you are shining your light, whatever you are looking at, that is what is on your plate. Your point of power is always in the now. If something happened yesterday, why invite it back in today? Why bring up dead ghosts?

Speaker 2 - Aero / Saint Thomas:

I like it. Yes, old tapes. I became aware of those old tapes, and we always talk about commands and clearings. I have cleared some old tapes.

Sometimes, when I become aware of my thoughts now and start making headway in this journey, I resort back to the old thing and get upset with myself: "Oh, man, this is that old thing again. Here it is again."

I want to mention a source for the people. There is an article called "Fly Free" at ForThePeople.space [author and URL formatting require verification]. It says that many people beat themselves up for certain choices or experiences, and often it is not who they really are; it is what they inherited.

We also talk about this DNA idea, that we have inherited things. My grandfather lived through World War II. In the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan, when they hit that famous beach, it is a slaughterhouse. My grandfather went to see that movie and later told someone in my family, who passed it down to me, that it was real for him. That is exactly what he lived through.

To know that kind of trauma - I have never been in a war, but throughout my life I have had war dreams. In my understanding, that is because it is in my DNA; it is inherited. Those are recorded tapes in my head.

The more I practice these commands of dropping from the mind to the heart and bringing back all the life-force energy, my heart starts overriding my head, which used to run the show. With these commands, in my experience today, I laugh because my head tries to say, "It will be all right; I will go ahead and do this," while my heart says, "No, not doing it." It overrode what I chose when I was giving in to the mind one day. I have to laugh. It is good to know that my heart is overriding my mind, even when I am not realizing it.

Speaker 3 - Rob:

You made a good point about what the article says regarding not beating yourself up. On this journey, I read The Power of Now around this time in 2021. It really helped me get through the pandemic, a big falling-out in my family, and a situation with my brother, whom I was living with. I felt very alone, and I had not connected with anybody else on this journey yet. I knew I was searching, so I read The Power of Now.

But then you think, "Why is my life not working?" and you beat yourself up. It is very easy to slip into what Eckhart calls mental movie-making. That is tough when you are going through a difficult time in your life and cannot see the perfection in where you are, or you think it should not be happening to you.

It is difficult to be in the moment, but it is very easy to start daydreaming and envisioning a better future. Not that this is necessarily bad, but when you become stuck fantasizing about a better future, you are not in the present moment.

It is easy to beat yourself up when you realize how quickly we are pulled into thoughts of the future or the past. Now I laugh. Just before the show, I was sweeping. I did not feel like hearing the vacuum cleaner because I wanted a peaceful day, so I chose to sweep. In the middle of sweeping, I suddenly realized I was no longer present. I was sweeping over the same spot while daydreaming about something and thinking about next weekend.

I started laughing. You begin to become playful with it. It may seem frustrating and infuriating at first, but then you realize you spend most of your life doing that. At some point, it becomes a game. You laugh and say, "Man, they got me again. I got sucked out of the moment and abducted into thoughts about next weekend." It is practice. It seems difficult, but with practice it becomes easier.

Speaker 2 - Aero / Saint Thomas:

Practice and learning to laugh - that is the moral I heard in what you said. At the beginning of what you said, I also heard this idea of going alone. Every person I am getting personal with on this journey has stories like that. We began with being our own teacher, but then we find ourselves alone with it. There are difficult moments in that, and it brings up a lot of things.

I can do a lot of bawling and crying. When I let myself cry, I do not stop the waterworks. I let it flow, because after the waterworks is where I experience the cleansing. It feels removed from me; it has cleansed my vessel.

If I have an emotional attachment I need to let go of, or something being shed from me, I let out the bawling and crying. I cannot be doing that at work, around other people, or at the ballgame. That is alone time and alone processing. That is going within. I let it out and allow myself to be cleansed.

I know, Sheila, that after we did our last show I felt as if I had not talked to you that week. We usually have a production meeting in the middle of the week and Zoom together, and if we have guests they come on with us. We did not have our regular Zoom meeting, and I had not talked to you all week long. I felt as if I were really missing you. What did you call and say to me, Sheila?

Speaker 4 - Sheila:

I remember texting you and saying it was a wonderful show with a lot of heavy stuff in it, and thanking you for it.

Speaker 2 - Aero / Saint Thomas:

Yes, but then you called me to tell me why I was feeling you.

Speaker 4 - Sheila:

Oh, yes. I was going through some things that I knew I needed to go through alone. I did not feel like dumping them on anybody because, actually, Spirit told me, "No. Do not phone a friend. Do not reach out to anybody."

Speaker 3 - Rob:

I am glad you mentioned that, Sheila, because that is the most difficult thing, and it is not taught in our society. Aero, you mentioned the twelve-step program, which I think is great for certain people. I battled with addictions involving alcohol and other drugs, and I decided that it was not for me.

I have family members who have gone through it. I had a discussion - not an argument, but perhaps a heated debate - because someone said, "Why don't you go do this program?" My response was that I needed to be dependent upon myself. I needed to go within for the answers. This was before I found references such as Ron and Q [identities require verification]. I felt I needed to do this on my own.

I had spent my whole life having friends or family as crutches or sounding boards, and I needed to go within because I found myself on other people's timelines. For the first time in my life, at forty-two, I am really understanding what it is like to be me. I have rescued friends and family members. Perhaps I will tell that story on a later show, but I was actually a legal surety for one of my friends, who was legally required to live with me.

It seems that I was always on other people's timelines, and now I am on my timeline. I need to do it on my own. As Sheila said, I do not need to call anybody or bring anybody into it. I just need to sit with it, go for a walk, or do whatever it is, and figure it out for myself.

Speaker 2 - Aero / Saint Thomas:

Thank you for bringing up that the twelve-step program is not for everybody. Part of the traditions of the program is that I do not come out in public and announce that, but I cannot avoid saying it because it is my story, and it is not for everybody. I am glad you brought that up.

What I know today is that I could not talk in front of a crowd of people, and I could not be doing this radio show, if I did not have the training ground of going to a meeting and learning to talk in front of people.

At my very first meeting, I knew I was alcoholic and knew I had serious drinking problems, so I finally went. When it came around to my turn, I said, "My name is Shelley, and I am alcoholic." It was a gratitude meeting, and I said, "I am grateful that I made it to my first meeting." The whole room clapped.

I was so overwhelmed and had such stage fright that I felt as though I left my body. The only thing I remember is that my voice was squeaky, I could hardly talk, and then I passed. When the person next to me started talking, I literally could not remember what I had just said. It was an out-of-body experience for me. I could not talk.

The funny thing is that, at my first meeting, I did not want to be sober like that person; I wanted to talk like that person. I had an incredible desire to talk like those people who could talk.

Speaker 3 - Rob:

It is true that it is not for everybody. I had that conversation with a family member who was going through it. They were trying to get me to go, and I said, "I am not bashing it, but if you ask my opinion, you might not like the answer."

For me, it felt disempowering to say that you are something. I do not identify as an alcoholic. In my experience, I did not have a drinking problem as the core problem; drinking was my attempted solution. I had problems with other things in my life, and I always knew deep inside that I had unresolved trauma I needed to sort out.

I know people with twenty-five years of sobriety, and that is amazing for them. But in my personal perspective, if the energy is still blocked, I would ask, "Where is the thirteenth step?" I heard someone whose name sounds like Ron make a similar point [reference requires verification]. The way I understand it, to truly overcome it and love it out of your life, you should be able to have a beer without any energy attached to it. Otherwise, you still have a relationship with alcohol; it is simply different now.

I hope that anybody listening, including you, knows I am not knocking the program. It simply was not right for me. I had lived through so much that I did not want to listen to other people's horror stories or repeat mine week after week. I understand it is a support group for people, but I wanted to sever my relationship with alcohol.

I still have a drink here and there. Usually, if I have one or two, I remember why I stopped. But I needed to reach a point where I could walk through a liquor store or go to parties where people were drinking and know it was my choice whether to have a drink or not.

I do not want to define myself by the label "I am an alcoholic." As soon as you say you are something, it is another identity, and the ego loves identity. That was not right for me. I had unresolved trauma, and I had to figure out how to solve it for myself.

Speaker 2 - Aero / Saint Thomas:

Amen, because we all have our own song to dance to, and we are our own teachers. This is so good, because I still identify as a recovering alcoholic, and I do not go to meetings because I need to. I have thirty years in these programs. I go because I want to, so I still have desire and purpose there. It is something that works for me.

That is what is good about this information for me. We are not anybody's guru here. We do not have your answers. All we are doing here is expressing our own truth. This is my truth, my reality, and my experience. Rob gets to share his truth, his reality, and his experience. Sheila gets to share her truth, her reality, and her experience.

My encouragement to everybody is to go within, do that inside work, and find your truth. You might pull pieces from all three of us, but you have your own reality and your own truth within you. I think this is a great conversation. I am loving this completely.

I want to add a reference to an author sounding like Ash at ForThePeople.space. I have some small writing here, so I am going to grab my glasses. Am I reading the ten-minute warning, I think?

Speaker 4 - Sheila:

Yes, that is all right.

Speaker 2 - Aero / Saint Thomas:

Thanks. I never see that stuff.

Real quickly, from ForThePeople.space, "Fly Free": it states, in substance, that we have been told DNA provides instructions for our bodies and genetic inheritance, but that inheritance is far more than physical. It says that trauma, heartbreak, work experiences, pain, betrayal, humiliation, illness, horrific life experiences, as well as positive experiences, are passed down through DNA coding in our minds, becoming more potent with each generation.

There is also a command: "I command my spirit to bring all of my light back to me now." We say these commands three times, and then count down: five, four, three, two, one, now. Great author, great website; there is lots of information there.

Speaker 4 - Sheila:

That is one of my favorite articles.

Speaker 2 - Aero / Saint Thomas:

It is the website I visit most anymore. When I need updates, I feel as though she speaks my language. It is my go-to. Sometimes I feel as though she is writing to me, just as when I turn on a Q show and listen to Q on Saturdays. I thought he was doing the show right for me. I thought, "Wow, if he has a million listeners, he has a million different shows. This one is for me."

Speaker 3 - Rob:

It is funny how things work like that, because I have had several synchronicities. I might be talking to a friend about something, and then the next day ForThePeople.space posts about it. I think my friend even wondered whether I was part of that, but I said, "No. I do not know who that is in real life." It is totally synchronistic.

I mentioned on another show that one morning - and this relates to our discussion of creating reality - I woke up thinking about my brother coming next weekend. It is his birthday, and I wondered whether I should decorate or prepare something.

Then I went for a walk to the grocery store and asked, "Spirit, which way do you want me to go?" I closed my eyes, took a few steps, and felt pulled to the left, so I went left. As I walked down the alleyway behind the grocery store, I saw something ahead and started laughing because I thought, "Oh my God, I know what this is." On a fence, for no apparent reason, were foil helium balloons that said, "Happy Birthday."

You cannot write this stuff - but actually, we are writing our reality. That is what we have to understand. As you said earlier, we are creating every split second and every moment. There is no time when we are not creating. I would go so far as to say we are not just creators; we are creation itself.

To return to the ForThePeople.space article, I was once walking through a field and asking Spirit for direction. I came across two hula hoops, one green and one blue, placed directly over each other. They may simply have fallen that way, but they formed a perfect vesica piscis, the two intersecting circles. When I got home and opened ForThePeople.space, that was the symbol at the top of the page. I started laughing. It is amazing how synchronicity works in our lives when we are really paying attention.

Speaker 2 - Aero / Saint Thomas:

Yes. When we start observing ourselves and how we are doing it, I observe that I am pulling into my reality the people who come in, the things they do, and the things they say. It is happening in my reality, so I am pulling all of that toward me.

When you spoke about doing chores, that was another time when I would drift off in my mind. Who wants to think about the dishes while doing the dishes? But now I do, because I want to be in the moment. I might focus on the beautiful vacuum going swish forward and swish, or on the beautiful dishes: how clean and shiny a dish is, or what a beautiful spoon it is. I am trying to stay present in what I am doing. Chores were certainly one of my drifting-off times.

Presence and grace are important. I heard you on another show say to have grace with yourself and grace with other people. We have a whole world being frustrated. I used to live in a state of frustration all the time, frustrated about this and frustrated about that.

Remaining in peace is always my goal, no matter what is going on. If I feel fear festering - if something is happening around me and I feel that elevation in my stomach - I can say, "I am going to become excited instead of afraid. I am going to transform it."

It is a perception shift. Instead of riding out that timeline in fear, I try to catch it at the beginning, before it attaches in the brain. If I catch it, I can immediately switch to, "I cannot wait. This is a big adventure. I do not know what this will look like or how it will turn out, and I cannot wait to see. I am so excited." A small perception shift is helpful for me.

Speaker 3 - Rob:

I am glad you brought that up, because what I was working with and playing with this week is that it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between the heart and the mind. The mind can be very tricky.

For example, at work this week, I was trying to be in the flow. I thought, "I just want to be in the present moment. I just want to be in the flow. Do not worry about what is going on." It is a fairly new job; I have only been there a month. I thought, "Today I am going to get this done with time to spare. It is going to be my most efficient day."

As soon as I got out there, I was pulled over by the police, and I thought, "Are you serious?" I was pulled into the Ministry of Transportation for my new job. It was just a standard check and not a big issue, but it took an hour, so I was behind by an hour. I became frustrated, but I kept telling myself, "Back to the moment. Just come back to the moment." I got through the day with time to spare, even though I had been set back an hour. It felt as though I was in that divine flow naturally.

On another day, I was trying to be in the flow and trying to do things efficiently. I thought, "I have to do it like I did the other day." Things did not go right for me because I was in mind energy. When you are trying to do something, that is mind energy. When you are truly in the flow, in the moment, you do not have to try to be efficient.

I ended up losing my wallet. Luckily, somebody found it and kept it safe for me. But I saw that I had been trying to be efficient, whereas when you are in Source energy, in flow and peace energy, you do not have to try. Everything comes to you in that trust. You do not even have to ask your spirit, because you are connected.

Speaker 2 - Aero / Saint Thomas:

All right. We are going to take turns doing some wind-down thoughts. I want to talk about how to stay in the flow. This is another piece from ForThePeople.space. To me, these are exercises. How do we stay clear of the maze?

One: live in the moment; peace makes that much easier.

Two: stretch or soak in a warm bathtub each night with peaceful, healing music.

Three: breathe deeply and move within throughout the day.

Four: forget about the world and responsibilities during your rest time, and experience the infinite now and the peace that exists there, bringing that into sleep and the next day.

Five: be outside in nature as much as possible.

Six: living outside of time, in the now, in peace, in nature, in your heart, with excitement about life, will basically make you invisible and uninteresting to the controllers.

I am going to let Rob give his closing statement, and then, Sheila, if you have a closing statement, I will give you a turn. Rob?

Speaker 3 - Rob:

To wrap up what we have spoken about today: you mentioned my statement about having grace with yourself and with others. Just realize that, as you mentioned with DNA, every cell of ours has everything in it from our lives and from our ancestors. We are dealing with so much, so go easy on yourself, go easy on others, bring it back to the present moment, and laugh it off if you can.

When we become upset, angry, or emotional, it is okay. As you mentioned, we have to release emotions. But there may come a point, as there has for me, when I say, "No, this is not getting me anymore." I take a deep breath, and I am no longer participating with that emotion.

When you realize the value of your life force and how important it is to keep it within yourself, you see that energetic leaks are not worth it anymore. Go easy on yourself and on others. Everybody has this crazy script called DNA, this crazy storyline of life, and things they are dealing with that we have no idea about. You may not even know everything about your own story.

This is the time to have grace with ourselves, because there is so much we do not know that we are working through, and that other people are working through. There is no point in becoming upset or frustrated anymore, because you realize that spending energy on that simply contributes to it again. Do your best, and understand that it is complicated. It is a process between you and yourself.

Speaker 2 - Aero / Saint Thomas:

Yes. Sheila?

Speaker 4 - Sheila:

I will leave it with just this: I encourage people to sing whatever song comes to mind. If the words do not quite fit, make up your own. If the whole song is wrong, make up your own. It does not matter how it sounds, because you are the only one hearing it. You can find an empty house and sing in the shower, all with it.

Speaker 2 - Aero / Saint Thomas:

Yes. Absolutely.

Listeners, find us. You can email us, or next Sunday at noon Central, Project Review with Q and Aero [official show title requires verification] is a call-in show, and you are welcome to call in and ask questions there too.

All right, BBS. That is a wrap for us. Love, love, love.

Speaker 3 - Rob:

Thanks, BBS.

Speaker 4 - Sheila:

Thank you.
