Suspended in Time

Suspended in Time

Ascension Update

Channel: Ailia Mira

Posted on September 3, 2024

This is a very weird week energetically so I just wanted to check in and share a few observations and suggestions. We just had that big, blue full super moon (on August 19), and it was squaring Uranus — creating this kind of nervous, jarring energy. This aspect can disrupt sleep and can make you feel really edgy. Know that we’re still in that energy until the new moon which is Monday, night, September 2. Uranus rules Aquarius and it’s changing direction this week on Sunday. Right now it’s intensifying the energy just mentioned. Mercury went direct today, but when it does so, initially it’s stationery for a period of time before moving forward. And with all of this, there can be just a feeling of being suspended in time. So if you have felt sluggish about things you’re trying to move on, or it has felt SO hard to move forward with things, be gentle with yourself. So here’s the first suggestion: if or when you feel this way, TRUST THAT IT IS BENEFICIAL. Trust that delays, or holding patterns, are serving you. If you believe, as I do, that everything is fueling our evolution, you learn to believe that what you feel and sense, especially if you’re intuitive, is feeling that way for a reason. Let yourself BE in harmony with what you sense. Honor it. Even if you’re not sure why it’s happening this way for you now. Also? Pluto is preparing to go retrograde — going back into Capricorn to, as I’ve heard several astrologers say: “clean up the last things needed” to go before it moves into Aquarius to stay. Pluto goes retrograde this Sunday, Sept 1 and stays in Capricorn until November 19, when it moves into Aquarius and stays there (except for some progressions into Pisces, and back into Aquarius), until 2044. Tosha Silver characterizes planets. She speaks of Pluto as the planet of death and rebirth, Uranus, as the great awakener. And these large fields of energy and consciousness, have specific influences and qualities… and like the precession of the Equinoxes and the Solstices, and the Eclipse Cycles, the astrological dance, and the unfolding aspects and alignments, are Universal Forces that are supporting the evolution of consciousness within All That Is. I really believe this. So, given all these powerful shifts this week… If things are coming up in your life that you thought were done, consider that maybe this is an opportunity to have an even better perspective about them. Or to have a whole new level of solutions reveal themselves to you. Again — dare to believe that everything is serving you. Everything wants you to SOAR. Everything that is, LOVES YOU and is supporting your awakening, your ascension, your conscious evolution and your thriving. It really is true. Lastly… One of the things I am receiving in channeled messages more and more consistently is how important it is to really learn how to take excellent care of yourself. This is not simply about resting when you’re tired or knowing to step back when things get to be too much. This is way beyond that. Taking excellent care of yourself means giving yourself the best days. This means each day, you’re making sure you’re doing things you love. This is for starters knowing what you love doing and making time for it. This is an attitude of really understanding that when you feel good, good things happen. And all the things that drive us crazy happen when we’re in resistance. When you really believe in the laws of the universe and learn to put your own alignment, first life improves dramatically. If you have focused on your alignment in an on again off again way, maybe now is the time to make a deep commitment to your own daily alignment practice. You are building and creating your own life. And your well-being and happiness matter. You came here to have the amazing adventure of remembering who you really are while being human and to participate in personal and planetary ascension. Believe in the importance of your own happiness and alignment. Prioritize your own joy! Love,

The Time for Harvesting

The Time for Harvesting

Jeshua Speaks
Channel: Pamela Kribbe 

Translation by Maria Baes and Frank Tehan

Posted on July 17, 2024

 

 

Dear friends, I am Jeshua.

I greet you all. I am with you from a deep resonance. We walk the same path, and you are with me. I was a kind of flag-bearer in the time in which I lived. I planted seeds, but it was never intended that I would do this alone. What I did was not something by myself. What I did was connected with a soul group of kindred spirits to which you belong.

This is a time for harvesting. Through planting and growing, through the germination of seeds, through the rising up of new shoots, a new light is brought into this world, and you are those germinating seeds and shoots. You are connected with me in the grand field of the Christ energy. What is the most precious thing that is developing during this time is who you are.

You often think that the biggest difference is made by what you do or set down in the world, but that is not the case. Rather, it is what and who you are that makes all the difference; that is what creates an opening in the collective consciousness on Earth. By being too fixated on specific goals outside yourself – on what you want to achieve in this world – you move away from your core, your foundation, which is where the transformation is taking place. It is what is most needed in this world.

It is important that you recognize the inner world – the world of your feelings, your psyche, your thoughts – as the primary source of all creation. You have become indoctrinated by a worldview in which the inner – the intuitive and the spiritual – is neglected. There is an excessive focus on the outer world, on the material. And when you go along with that, you undermine your own powers of creation, because the source of each enduring creation is always inside you. You are not dependent on forces outside you, and your realizing this is a big step, because it sets you free from the outer world, which then loses its power over you.

When you realize deeply, from your divine core, that you are a creator, the social rules and ideas, the fears that are prevalent in society, gradually lose their influence over you. That is also the message that you are bringing to people in this world. Nothing brings a person into their own strength more than does the realization that he or she is the center of their own world, and that from there you attract and create what is right for you. Thus, the energy of fear and illusion loses its influence over you. This is the true breakthrough everyone is looking for.

I ask you to now connect with your heart. When I am speaking about the heart, I am not talking about the physical heart, but about something much more vast and deep; namely that part of you, your unique soul, which is connected to the whole, which vibrates in a field of love that is your home, the place where you belong. Your physical heart is the most visible material manifestation of this inner center, but it is no more than that. Your true heart is much more vast and not bound by time and space.

The love in your heart surpasses the material, transcends physical life. It makes you really great, and also allows you to be safe. Because through this love you are connected to the Christ energy: a field of love that is infinitely more powerful than any fearful image or all the material things in the world. Feel this field now. Call it up in your own heart and sense clearly that you are much greater than an earthly body, an earthly personality. Your soul has chosen you in order to grow through you in this life, to experience, to work. This grand power of your soul is available to you as a source of wisdom.

Now, go with your attention to your heart center and feel who you are. Also sense the talents and gifts that you have developed in other lives, because the heart operates from a timeless awareness and has access to all the varied manifestations or incarnations you have ever had. Feel the energy of your heart come to you and surround you. Let it shine light upon a problem that you are experiencing in your everyday life. Many problems arise or become bigger as you become fixated on external things, or on your own body, on the tangible, the physical. You want to find solutions on that level. But by connecting with your greater core, with your heart-consciousness, you will get access to sources of wisdom that can help you much more.

The solution is never on the material plane; it is within you. Descend all the way to that level, and see a flame of light in the middle of your heart center. This light connects you to the Christ field, which protects you and cares for you – allow it to enfold you. Feel that you do not depend on powers outside yourself; feel that you can live from ease and love, from lightness. You have been so indoctrinated with thoughts of fear, struggle, and survival that it seems impossible to live from lightness, gentleness, and love. This is the shadow that hangs over all of you: the belief in fear, struggle, and control.

I ask you to open your heart to that larger reality that is there and that carries you. Imagine that the light energy from this larger reality enters through your heart, and further through your body and your energy field. Let the light flow through your heart and descend into your solar plexus … and further into your abdomen … and into your root chakra in your tailbone … and even further down through your legs to your feet. Feel your own power. It is not a hard force; it is not a power of resistance or struggle. The time has passed that you had to be in conflict with the outer world.

There is another power within you that can help you realize what you deeply desire. But that power is not of a dual nature, one of struggling against something. Feel the power of this force, and go to where you experience a problem that gives you concern, makes you worry and think. Go to where you feel you are losing your strength, that you are not able to live with joy but have the feeling of being threatened by something outside you, something you do not understand, or by something that keeps arising and never seems to be able to get resolved. There is a kind of knot in your energy, in your thoughts about your own powers of creation. There is a sense of powerlessness. There is a blind spot in you.

Feel the great power of love. Look at your life and ask yourself: “Where do I experience love the most? In which activity or with what person or at what moments do I experience a feeling of sincere joy and happiness?  Where do I feel at home, relaxed?” I mean times when you literally feel lighter, when your body vibrates at a higher level. Look for yourself where and in which situation you feel that the most, and take that as your criterion or guide.

Love gives you energy, makes you creative and at the same time free of worries. Then you are confident, and in an almost childlike way you become happy. This is a great strength; do not underestimate it. Search for that kind of feeling as much as possible in your life. Let go of doing battle, and find the brightest sides in your life and feed that energy. Then you free forces in yourself which give you deeper connection with your own soul wisdom; then you magnetize others – like attracts like.

6 Spiritual Awakening Stages You Need to Go Through to Get to Your True Self

6 Spiritual Awakening Stages You Need to Go Through to Get to Your True Self

By Janey Davies, B.A. (Hons)

Posted on February 23, 2024

 

 

Have you been wondering about life and your true purpose recently? Do you ask questions like “Who am I?” or “What am I here for?” Perhaps you’ve experienced a traumatic event that’s made you reevaluate your life? Maybe something just feels wrong, or you believe there’s more to life? These feelings suggest you’re experiencing the stages of a spiritual awakening.

There are six spiritual awakening stages, and in this article, I’ll explain each one and tell you how to recognize them.

What Is a Spiritual Awakening?

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.”

– Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

A spiritual awakening is a shift in one’s consciousness. Different religions and cultures have their own versions of spiritual awakenings. For example, Buddhists believe by completing the Four Noble Truths we reach the ultimate state of Nirvana. In Japan, the state of Satori represents spiritual enlightenment.

In psychology, Carl Jung said we are all born three times; once from our mother’s womb, second when our ego develops and third when our spiritual consciousness forms.

Jung described the formation of our spiritual consciousness as a spiritual awakening. It begins when we step back from ourselves and see the bigger picture. You begin to look at the world differently.

So, what are the spiritual awakening stages?

• The Six Spiritual Awakening Stages 
• Are:The Wake-Up/Trigger
• Bliss/Synchronicity
• The Dark Night/The Purge
• The Void
• Grounded

Your Purpose

1. The Wake Up/Trigger

Signs of the Wake Up:You wonder about the meaning of life.

You feel something is changing inside you.

You feel detached from life.

The first spiritual awakening stage is the wake-up call. It’s that nagging feeling there must be something more. It’s the moment you ask questions like,

“What’s my purpose?”

“Who am I?”

“What am I here for?”

“Is there anything more to life?”

Trauma, spiritual journeys, deaths, or illnesses can trigger this. It can also happen at a certain age when you ponder your mortality.

For example, actress and singer/songwriter Demi Lovato credits her spiritual awakening to a near fatal overdose in July 2018. In 2020, she told the New York Times:

“This last year provided me so much self-growth and was so beneficial to my spiritual evolution.” Demi Lovato

Actress Julia Roberts led a more spiritual life after filming Eat, Pray, Love in India, saying how Hinduism inspired her.

Whatever triggers your wake-up call, it signifies a new direction. You are awakening to exciting possibilities. The time is right for spiritual expansion. You view the world from a different perspective; one that not only looks outwards, but seeks answers from within.

At this point, you can either respond to the wake-up call or ignore it.

2. Bliss/Synchronicity

Signs of Bliss:

• You’re aware of weird coincidences and patterns.
• You feel at one with nature.
• You’ve become more intuitive.

Those that acknowledge the trigger find themselves in the second spiritual awakening stage of bliss. You understand there is more to life than this 3D realm our human bodies inhabit. This brings comfort and peace.

Now, you connect to the universe, soaking up energy and expanding your mind. For the first time, you sense the world around you. You are at one with it, a part of it, and on a journey to self-discovery.

You know there’s more to life than the 9 to 5, and everything seems brighter, more evocative; waking you up imbued with passion.

You’re no longer alone because now you’re connected and part of the bigger picture, and it’s one that’s enduring and meaningful. You’re confident that with your guide you can find the way to spiritual enlightenment.

3. The Dark Night/The Purge

• Signs of the Dark Night:You feel lost and alone.
• You experience heightened senses.
• You reevaluate your beliefs.

After the bliss stage comes the Dark Night, and this is the hardest of the spiritual awakening stages. Now your soul must cleanse and heal itself. During this stage, you’ll face your darkest fears. Some experts call it a spiritual detox.

“The dark night of the soul is essentially any time when our darkness comes to the forefront. It’s as if we are doing everything we can to stay afloat, and it seems as if the universe, the world, and life is against us.” Anna Yusim, M.D.

Here you face hidden traumas and emotions you’ve buried for lifetimes. It’s like falling into a dark pit of depression and not being able to find your way out.

Carl Jung talked about the Shadow Self; the parts of us that disgust, repel, desire or we repress are all hidden in the dark. Facing your shadow self takes courage and an open mind.

Whilst it’s true, you must hit rock bottom before you can ascend through the later stages of spiritual awakening, this dark time is essential.

Think of it like a purge of all the negative experiences and traumas in your life. You are ditching any excess baggage that’s been holding you back. Letting go of your old life to start afresh can present challenges, but it’s for the best.

4. The Void

Signs of the Void:You’re prone to viruses or illness.

• You experience frequent headaches.
• You feel disconnected from everyone.

Just imagine how you’d feel if you had detoxed all the nasty poisons from your body. You’d feel exhausted by the effort. And so it is with a spiritual detox. Now is the time to rest. Give yourself time to adjust to the new you.

In this stage, you may retreat into yourself and live a solitary, hermit-style existence. Where, at the beginning, you enjoyed a connection with the universe, now you sense a disconnection from the world. Sure, you’re cleansed from everything that’s been holding you back, but it’s left you empty and lost.

Now is the time to look after yourself. Navigating through the Dark Night is exhausting and will leave you depleted or even depressed. Rest yourself, eat healthily, and give yourself time to recharge your batteries.

5. Groundness

Signs of Groundness:You’re drawn to nature.

You have vivid dreams.

You become grateful for what you have.

The fifth spiritual awakening stage is grounding. Imagine you are a tree sapling, freshly sprouted, clean and unpolluted. Now you must ground yourself in the soil and allow your roots to stabilize your upward journey.

In this stage, you reaffirm everything you’ve learnt, through the trigger, bliss, dark night, and void. You are open to whatever the universe has in store for you. Bliss and enlightenment return. That connection you lost during the void is also back.

Just as lightning finds its way to the ground, you must also ground yourself, otherwise, it’s impossible for your spirit to grow. During this stage, you solidify the lessons learned and incorporate them into your daily life.

You understand that the journey you have been on allows you to connect your spirit to your earthly body. Now, your spirit and body are finally becoming one with each other.

Being grounded connects you to the universe, but also allows your spirit to continue its journey. Think of your spirit as a kite. If you don’t tether it to your hand, it would float away and get lost in the vastness of the universe.

6. Purpose

Signs of Purpose:

• You have a newfound curiosity.
• You’re more compassionate and empathic.
• You feel at one with the universe.

The last of the spiritual awakening stages is Purpose. You have purged your spirit from all negativity and rested.

You now see the bigger picture. Your perception has shifted, and things are no longer black and white but many nuances of grey. There is empathy and compassion for others and a need to look beyond a forced narrative.

“You will begin to see through all the illusions in this world and strip off all the masks that you’ve been wearing solely for the validation of society.”

-The Spirit Nomad

You’re confident in yourself. Having set high standards for your behavior, you use your newly found confidence to communicate your insight to others.

During this last stage, you may find you lose certain people along the way. It’s become intolerable for you to put up with those with prejudices or hate-filled hearts. You accept these losses as part of your journey. However, you don’t judge people. You acknowledge their path is different from yours.

This final stage of spiritual awakening takes a long time to reach, and you may slip back to previous stages. This is because the ego is always fighting to regain control.

Final Thoughts

Completing the six spiritual awakening stages doesn’t mean you are at the end of your journey. On the contrary, it’s the beginning of an authentic life unfettered by old ideals. Each stage is one of reflection, discovery, and growth, designed to free you from the human bonds that hold us all back.

What Does it Feel Like to be in the Akashic Records?

Love Notes from the Akasha:

What Does it Feel Like to be in the Akashic Records?

Brynne E. Dippell, Ph.D.

Posted February 21, 2024

It is my greatest honor and pleasure to be able to access the divine light and wisdom of the Akashic Records, for my own soul’s journey and for those of other people. There is absolutely nothing like it.

What does it feel like to be in the Akashic Records? It is truly divine. As I am saying the prayer to access the Records, there is a tangible shift in the energy from my everyday in-the-world awareness to something that feels more expansive. There is an immediate feeling of lightness of being followed by a whoosh! as the space around me gets bigger, and a sense of sparkle and magic comes in.

Once I’m inside the Akashic Records, there is a rush of energy as I feel myself attuning to the other person completely. It is as if I am experiencing their soul essence and what they feel as they are feeling it. It is a combination of light and spaciousness and incredible energy running through me.

Oftentimes there is a rush of words that want to be expressed right away. It’s almost as if I can’t stop them. The Record Keepers, the divine beings who watch over the Records and bring the information forward, want to acknowledge the person before me in their entirety, in their full beauty, and it is breathtaking. I feel love beyond words for every aspect of who they are, and I feel complete understanding, complete acceptance of them, in all ways. And in that space, I know absolutely that only love is real.

The Record Keepers seek to reflect back to the other person the magnificence of who they are and why they are here. They want them to know what their soul purpose is and how they have affected those around them. Although I have stepped back from my human personality to bring through the wisdom and energies, I am aware of feeling in awe and honored, too.

As questions are posed from the one who has come to receive the wisdom of the Record Keepers, it flows through me purely and smoothly without effort. Everything they wish to know, it is all right here. It is all expressed in the context of love. There is no judgment. There is no sense of right or wrong. There is a beautiful, peaceful neutrality, and the perfection of every choice and every action is immediately apparent. It all makes perfect sense. It’s all a part of the whole.

The Record Keepers always wish to communicate a deep sense of love and acceptance, for this is the truth. You can do nothing wrong. It’s all an act in a larger play. They wish to take the worry or concern out of the decisions that are made. You can’t get it wrong. They always wish to say there is only love. They indicate as well that so much of this was planned before we got here, and your task is only to feel into what is right, what makes you happy, what feels easy and smooth.

The light and magic of the energy is strong throughout, and I oftentimes have a sense of excitement and elation. As we speak, we may touch upon old core wounds, and there is an incredible compassion that comes forward. It is as if the Record Keepers are wrapping each one in a blanket of love and soothing their heart.

Anything that needs to be resolved, it can flow up and out, and through divine grace be fully released. Then, we get to create the new. The Record Keepers say, “This is the fun part.” We get to breathe in the new patterns in an active process of co-creation. We fill the spaces of past experience with the diamond light of what we wish to have now. They say again, “This is the fun part. This is the creativity. It is here that the new beginnings truly start.”

As I close the Records, there is a sense of a gentle return to earth. All the love is still there, while there is a quieting, and the beautiful sense of union with the soul before me begins to recede. I notice the Record Keepers always leave a lot of love in the space we have created together.

The energy of love persists after we close the Records, even if the words we shared do not remain in my conscious mind. There is a sense of upliftment that fills the day, like a mild sunshine. I notice the quiet satisfaction the Record Keepers have in being able to assist in this way. It is as if they are saying, simply, “Good work was done today.”

When I emerge from the Records at the end of the day, everything is filled with light. I feel uplifted. The energies dissolve, but the love remains. Always, the love remains.

The ability to access the Akashic Records for ourselves is a gift that everyone possesses. It is your birthright, and a skill that can be nurtured and refined. To be filled with the light and love of the Records for upliftment, insight, and sweetness is like no other experience I know. Please take a gentle breath in and meet me in the field of love today. :)

Blessings,

Love Notes from the Akasha: My Story

Love Notes from the Akasha:

My Story

Brynne E. Dippell, Ph.D.

Posted February 20, 2024

Photo credit: globalbizarre.com/what-are-the-akashic-records

I’m often asked what brought me to working with the Akashic Records, and I would like to share my story with you today.

As a child, I was sensitive, intuitive, and always a little bit different. :) The universe was alive and spoke to me in so many ways. A shy young girl, I spent much time alone or in the company of my animal companions, where I felt accepted and understood.

I'm an empath by nature, and as I grew, I was drawn to deeply connecting with people and listening to the stories of their lives. One of my greatest joys was bringing out what is best in others and helping them find their own beauty. In my path of service, I was first drawn to psychology. I received my Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Ph.D. in the field. I loved the depth and intimacy of working with people in this way. After I completed graduate school, I was offered a counseling position at a local community clinic, and I happily accepted.

I had been seeing clients at the clinic for several years when my father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. My parents divorced when I was young, and he had always been more of a good friend than a father. We were very close.

The cancer was advanced when it was detected, and there was nothing to be done. My father died five weeks later. It was shocking and heartbreaking. Losing him so unexpectedly changed me.

Within days of his passing, my father started coming to me. I began hearing messages and having unusual, visionary dreams. He would appear before me, still wearing his hospital gown. Here I was, practicing full-time as a traditional psychologist, and my deceased father was showing up in my living room.

At the same time, all kinds of strange energetic phenomena started happening: one line of a song would repeat over and over on the radio when I got into my car, feathers, coins, and symbols were showing up everywhere. Even though I had been intuitive throughout my lifetime, everything was amplified. While I knew this meant my father was alive and well on the other side, at the same time, it was scary.

I share this because many people have this experience when the spiritual world starts breaking through. It can be unnerving. These experiences compelled me to engage in a deeper exploration of my spirituality, looking for answers, as the veil between the two worlds thinned rapidly for me.

Meanwhile, I continued working as a psychologist at the clinic. Within weeks, the clients who came to me began describing spiritual experiences that did not fit within the bounds of traditional psychology. They were fascinating and profound. One Tuesday afternoon my client Annie came in, and life changed forever.

That day, Annie told me a very moving story that had taken place a few years earlier. She had experienced a lot of trauma and abuse in her early years and lived a very painful, challenging life. One night, overcome by pain, Annie decided to commit suicide. At midnight, she walked quickly to the end of a local pier, paused for a moment, and jumped off. As she slipped into the dark, icy cold water, Annie prepared to let go of life.

Suddenly, a strong light surrounded her, and she heard a voice say, "It's not your time to go." Disoriented, Annie didn't know what was happening, but felt what she described as a warm blanket of love surrounding her. She heard the voice again, louder, "It's not your time." Out of nowhere, a hand firmly grasped her shoulder and pulled her up to the surface and to shore. She crawled out of the water and looked around for her savior, but the beach was empty.

Somehow Annie knew she had been in the presence of an angel. Stunned, she collapsed to the sand and wept. She had always felt unwanted and uncared for, as if she didn't matter. To have an angel come to her at the lowest point in her life and pull her to safety changed everything in an instant. We were both deeply moved in the telling. 

A few days later, as part of our weekly case consultation meeting, l told the story to my supervisor at the clinic. I was still profoundly affected by it. My supervisor looked at me and said, "Brynne, you've got to figure out what hat you’re wearing. You've got the psychology hat, and you've got the spiritualty hat. You can’t wear both of them at the same time.”

He went on to explain that Annie had simply made up the angelic rescue story in response to her unconscious wish for an idealized father figure to save her. As I listened, I felt something change deep inside of me. I slowly walked out of his office, and it dawned on me I probably could not continue to do this work. I no longer believed psychology was the ultimate explanation.

Within a few weeks, I left the agency. I lost everything – my practice, my home, my friends. My family thought I was crazy. I even lost my own identity. It was a very confusing and painful time.

Ultimately, it took about two years for me to give up the idea of who I thought I was going to be as a professional psychologist. After I let go, I started doing spiritual counseling and energy healing, which felt much more aligned with what I came here to do. Eventually, I found a mentor who taught me to access the Akashic Records for myself and other people, and everything took off from there.

As much as I was helping people in a very real and heartfelt way as a psychologist, I wasn't in alignment with my soul. These two events - my father's passing and the supervisor’s admonition – were my cosmic wake up call. Everything changed.

Since then, I’ve had the gorgeous good fortune to be in the Akashic Records every day, accessing their light and wisdom and feeling their love and healing energies. I get to help people blossom in ways that are beyond anything I could have ever imagined.

I now open the Akashic Records on a daily basis to access divine wisdom for insight, for writing, and for healing. My life has changed in every possible way as a result. I have the richness of the universe available at all times, offering me clear guidance on how to live an uplifted, inspired life, full of possibility. I experience ever deeper gratitude and appreciation for the people closest to me. I am living in full alignment with my soul’s divine purpose.

Best of all, I know I am held in an ocean of love, always.

And now, I am delighted to guide other people to learn to access the wisdom and healing energies of the Akashic Records, so they may experience all of this, too.

It is my greatest honor and pleasure to be able to share the special magic of the Akashic Records with you. Thank you so much for hearing my story. :)

Much love,

Brynne

10 Signs You Are Smarter Than People Think

10 Signs You Are Smarter Than People Think

By Sherrie Hurd, A.A.

learning-mind.com

Posted on September 24, 2023

Before you sell yourself short, think twice. Despite what they say, you are smarter than people think. There are signs that prove this.

Did you ever consider that you are smarter than people think? You could actually be smarter than you give yourself credit for as well.

Those who are truly intelligent are the ones who question themselves. The ones who think they know it all, on the other hand, never stop to ask many questions, now do they?

You are smarter than people think

It’s an inner struggle, a torment that makes us question our own intellect. And with these questions, we stay quiet, afraid to share knowledge and offer insight.

Some of us will never speak up because we fear looking dumb. Chances are, we probably aren’t dumb at all. Guess what? You actually may be much smarter than you think.

Some people may see you as ordinary or average. They may even assume your IQ isn’t all that high. But here are a few signs that you are smarter than people think you are.

1. You’re curious

When you think of the word “curious”, you probably think about someone asking loads of questions, being nosey, or listening to conversations. Just because you want to know things doesn’t always mean you’re getting into other people’s business.

No, curious people do this, and it doesn’t mean they aren’t intelligent. It means the opposite. Curiosity is the mind seeking more information. Sometimes you genuinely crave learning new things. And while there are nosey people who are up to no good, not all curious people fall into this category.

2. You’re rather introverted

There’s this misconception that introverted people may not be that intelligent. Well, this couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, introverts feel confident doing many things on their own. This includes eating alone at restaurants, reading at home, and just sitting in silence.

Unlike many others who cram their schedules to always be around people, introverts feel just fine with free time. So, if you are introverted and you love being alone, you’re probably pretty intelligent.

3. High level of self-awareness

How aware of yourself are you? I mean, obviously, you exist, but that’s not what I mean. Self-awareness is the ability to understand your strengths, weaknesses, emotions, and motivations. If you have a strong sense of who you are, then you are aware of your intellectual limitations.

This makes you humble, and, thus, smarter. However, others may not be so aware of how smart you really are, and that’s okay. This is also a strength.

4. You do not mind ambiguity

Not everything has a clear answer, and this drives most people crazy. Yes, for the most part, we want to know how to do something and want all the details. But the most intelligent of us can deal with ambiguity and explore creativity within this state of being.

Let’s say you are at work and you receive vague details about a task that needs to be done. Do you panic, or do you simply figure it out on your own? If you can pivot well in your unsure circumstances and still be at peace, you are smarter than people think.

5. You don’t follow trends

While it may seem smart to keep up with the latest trends, it really doesn’t gauge your intelligence. Even though influencers make large amounts of money doing this, it still doesn’t make them more intelligent. In fact, setting trends is more of an indicator of smarts than following them.

If the skinny jeans craze did not impress you or you never felt pressured to wear pearls last year, then you feel comfortable being yourself. That’s my take on that, anyway. You will find that the most intelligent people gravitate toward more classic styles and fashions when they aren’t creating their own.

6. You’re open-minded

Being set in your ways may seem honorable. And yes, this has been me many times. However, being more open-minded equals a healthier brain.

You are smarter than people think when you can see various perspectives and have a high tolerance for differences. You are able to consider other ideas that starkly contrast your own, and these ideas do not offend you, either.

7. You’re a cat person

This one may be a bit questionable, but it’s a common assumption. It seems that more introverted people have cats as pets, while more extroverted people prefer dogs. And what have we learned about introverts?

Well, considering introverts tend to be quite intelligent, this makes complete sense. Is it true? Do cat people possess more intelligence?

After surveying over 600 college students, researchers found feline lovers score higher on intelligence tests. They analyzed results in the Association for Psychological Science. Researchers also found that cat owners are more open-minded and introverted.

8. You’re messy

Neatness doesn’t always equal intelligence. I’m sure this has been an assumption before. If you’re messy or disorganized, it’s possible that you’re smarter than people think. You see, when you’re focusing on tasks; you realize that neatness is not a top priority.

Take Einstein, for instance. In those pictures of him, you can clearly see a highly unorganized desk and surroundings. So, don’t be too hard on yourself for falling behind on organizing. It could be that your intellect is working full force.

9. You are funny

People who are smart tend to have a great sense of humor. They can come up with jokes quickly and easily make others laugh. Sometimes they don’t even have to think of a joke. They just say the first thing that comes to mind, and many times, it’s hilarious.

Even though you may be an introvert, you still have an ingrained sense of good verbal communication, which is odd. With this verbal communication ability, you are naturally funny, and you are smarter than people think.

10. You’re intuitive

Intuition can sometimes be more powerful than other forms of intellect. The ability to know something doesn’t feel right is a great survival tactic. If you have great intuition, you’re more in tune with the emotions of others around you.

This also means you can help people quickly and form strong relationships with others. Even if you aren’t really a people person, your intuition will push you to help when it’s needed.

Intelligence isn’t always obvious

There are many people in this world who profess to be highly intelligent. Unfortunately, some of these people are quite the opposite. You will know them by their inability to say, “I don’t know”. It’s true. Being able to admit that you don’t know something is much more intelligent than pretending that you do.

So, remember this: You are smarter than people think. Never let them convince you otherwise. Always be willing to learn new things and continue to be open-minded. If others cannot see your intellect, then that’s your secret weapon. Let them keep wondering.
