 Hi, this is George Cowan. I'm so excited to be here with Alyssa Johnson. We're gonna be having a fascinating discussion on spirituality and Her path to discovering The the kind of work that she does which I'm where we're gonna get into and it's I think it's fascinating But first I want to say hello. Hi Alyssa Thanks for being here. Thank you so much for having me today. Yeah, so let me read your bio out Alyssa so that the audience has some perspective on what you do But we're gonna we're gonna get into your story a bit and and then we'll end up with a very fascinating Discussion on on the kind of work that you do. So I don't want to give too much away because I don't want to Mess it up, but I don't want you to be describing it But let me first share your bio. So Alyssa is a spirituality teacher who helps people who believe in angels Feel hopeful and empowered through angelic guidance and I want to just put in here We're gonna talk about your your corporate background, too So I think that transition is really fascinating But let me let me finish here Alyssa channels a beam of light named Archangel Ariel and today They together today. They provide people with tools to navigate life with greater ease and joy So her website is priestess paradigm dot earth dot earth You might be the first website that I've seen that's dot earth, which I think is really cool So priestess paradigm dot earth. So we'll talk about what that means for you as well. So First of all, Alyssa is a client of mine and I just have so enjoyed working with her On both the spirituality side of her business but she also Happens to be a Facebook ads expert and I keep referring You know clients to work with her on that side, too So she has that's one of the things I I love about you Alyssa is you have this kind of you have Kind of both feet you have one foot in the world of very Practical matters, you know grounded reality and then another feet in the world of what some people might consider much more visionary inspiring, you know, and and so that's that's what I but tell tell since I already teased this Idea about your story of this transition from the corporate to what you're doing now Maybe share with us a bit about that Sure So yes, I actually have a very traditional background I used to practice law and I lived in DC where I worked for both a small law firm And then for a large law firm and I did that for a few years And then I left that in 2008 and I it worked in corporate America where I actually sold law legal products to law firms in the Maryland DC and Virginia area and Then excuse me in 2013. I left all of that behind. I left DC And I basically took a couple of years and I traveled around the country and I lived in Costa Rica Excuse me I went to Costa Rica and then I landed in Austin in 2015 and really at that point began my Spiritually based business although I had been on a spiritual journey for quite a few years before then That's great. And so how did you? Gosh so many questions for you, but like how did you discover? I don't know if we want to start there But how did you discover sort of angelic guidance and archangel area? Yeah, tell us about that So it it started in 2008. I was living in DC at the time and I was very burnt out I was working, you know, 60 to 80 hours a week, which is completely normal for lawyers in DC and I felt like there had to be more to life than what I was experiencing and so I Basically just started following the breadcrumbs and what was speaking to my heart And I ended up coming across this woman who was doing a free session at a library near where I lived in DC And she was going to spend the first hour talking about energy And then the second hour she was going to channel a being of light named Saint Germain And I thought that sounded so fascinating and I hadn't I don't think I really realized it at the time But I've remembered it since then all growing up. I always had an interest in channeling I always thought it sounded really fascinating But I had grown up in a home where there were some teachings around channeling and what that looked like and that Wasn't a safe practice. So I had some beliefs around that but I want to go see this woman speak I loved every single thing that she had to say I mean, I just soaked it up all of the energy things that she was talking about made so much sense to me And then I ended up starting studying with her and I met with her for a few times But the group she had formed disbanded quickly But she led me to my first real spirituality teacher who I ended up studying with for about a year year and a half and he does fifth dimensional soul level consciousness work and every single thing that he taught resonated so much Although I didn't understand a lot of it because I basically kind of dove in feet first into the world of spirituality I think most people tend to start with do angels exist, you know they'd sort of go in that direction whereas I just dived in head first and was like, what do we do at the soul level and So I didn't understand a lot of what he did at the time, but I loved his teachings And then from there that led to two other teachers But one who actually channeled and another one who taught me how to connect with the angelic kingdom and with light beings And then I worked with another teacher who was doing soul level fifth dimensional consciousness work And by that point I knew what she was talking about I had been in this world long enough that I was having a much greater understanding and then it just all opened up that way So it's the entire process has been following the breadcrumbs and just seeing where my heart led me That's fascinating. And so what kind of message tends to come through when you channel? Parking to area It depends if it is an individual channeling for someone then the messages are really directly for that person And it can be it can be very earth plane material things going on in their lives Things they are working through guidance about specific questions or it can be Greater consciousness fourth fifth dimensional consciousness work things going on the soul level things That this person needs to anchor into the body to be able to walk in multi-dimensionality So that's for individual channelings, but I also and actually prefer group channelings That's really where my passion lies is group energy work and interplane like higher-dimensional consciousness group energy work So when it's that it tends to be a lot of messages around Humanities consciousness where we are going as a human species where mother earth Gaia, which is her higher self where her higher self and her greater consciousness is evolving into what? fifth-dimensional consciousness actually looks like how to interact at the soul level and Also really anchoring into the body many of our spiritual gifts many which have been latent For a millennia and are starting to reawaken in humanity as well as those that we have Had that have been fostered may have been kept more quiet like intuition Or the ability to connect more deeply with people but are really starting to awaken and rise on the planet So that's it tends to depending on the type of channeling I'm doing the scope tends to be a little bit different Mmm, that's great And I have so many questions, but I feel like this is a great time to just talk a little bit about So if like if somebody's wondering well, how do I access some of? The channeling you know the group channeling you have something called the planetary alignment collective Can you talk about that a bit here? Absolutely, so the planetary alignment collective or PAC for short, which is what I like to call it is really a Group energy channeling where we come together in meditation and I am channeling and people are all over the world And we basically meditate in Archangel Ariel and the beings of light who she works with Speak through me and they basically do group energy work with us, which means in general They're doing energy work and then they help us really work at the soul level So what that means is usually inviting in our soul or our higher self Which many or more people may be more common with the concept of the higher self And then doing energy work with that and that can be An energy exchange or transmission of sorts It can actually be working in some type of energy container where we're getting to play with energy on these Different levels and higher dimensional consciousness than what we tend to do in their dimensional consciousness And then we're also learning a lot of new Or more advanced manifestation techniques. There's a lot on the planet on how to manifest or well manifest Which is actually what I like to call it being a woman There's a lot about that and the guides often take us or like beings or angels. I use all of those terms interchangeably They teach us more advanced tricks or kind of build upon the knowledge that's already on the planet So we get to do a lot of work in that way and really it is enabling us to have a deeper connection with each other And again, it's really building up these beautiful gifts that we have and being able to connect more deeply to have a deeper Understanding of what's happening on the planet from a higher perspective And it's also really fostering leadership. Many of the people in this group are very well Not many all of them are incredibly old souls and are very much here to Change a lot of the behaviors and ways that we think and operate on this planet. So this is helping them Receive tools and nurture gifts that they have in order for them to go out into the world and do what they're here to do That's awesome. Um, I'll be sure to have a link to the the pack planetary alignment collected In in the notes of the video. So everyone who's Hearing this and interested be sure to check that out. So, um, I guess one of my questions so many of them but You've mentioned several times these this concept of Well, third dimensional consciousness, which I assume is how most of us most of humanity experiences, you know Day to day and then you've talked about fourth or mainly fifth dimension But maybe you can touch on your perspective of what those things mean. What is third fourth fifth dimension consciousness? Absolutely. So third dimensional consciousness is where Many of us spend a lot of our day as myself included and it is a beautiful consciousness level it includes the ego And all of the aspects of being a human that come along with maybe fear or anxiety or guilt or shame As well as joy and love and connection. It's that whole spectrum fourth dimensional consciousness Is a higher state of consciousness or awareness That is a term that I like to use interchangeably with consciousness if the word consciousness is confusing for people Which it's still confusing for me sometimes Um, and what it does in fourth dimensional consciousness and every single person who is watching this has experienced it Whether they are aware or that or not Is expanding joy So if you can think about a moment in your life where you felt so joyful about something or those Precious experiences we have when we're laughing so hard that tears are pouring down our face, you know Our bellies are hurting That is actually fourth dimensional consciousness because what happens in that space Is basically love expands and you are really having this deeper connection with yourself If you think about a time where you're in that joyful space where it was all you felt was love and joy and laughter Whatever it was that you were in you couldn't also feel fear Or shame or guilt fourth dimensional consciousness cannot hold Some of the aspects that we experience in in a body in third dimensional consciousness They just dissolve they completely go away So I know that every single person has experienced this because we've all experienced joy and we've all experienced laughter So that's fourth dimensional consciousness is this greater experience of being and feeling and really being in love And when I say in love, I don't necessarily mean romantically. I mean feeling love. Does that make sense? Yeah, absolutely. That's great. And so fifth dimension Yeah, so that's actually a little bit different. Um fifth dimensional consciousness is soul level consciousness so really where the soul resides and In my experience is that it's actually quite different than fourth dimensional consciousness Um Your ability to connect with really deep insights into yourself Into your life into life in general as we know it at this time on this planet is vastly expanded Because you are seeing and feeling and experiencing creation or life from this much greater perspective So what this actually means is things start to make more sense is how I have perceived it and how I have heard others perceive it We start to see how things are actually orchestrated so beautifully And in divine order and that everything that's unfolding on our planet Actually has a much greater purpose and is serving expansion and serving life in some form Now I know so many people of your audience Are so deeply felt sense really feel the things happening on the planet deeply and there are so Many things that are awful that are truly very ugly and we need to work ourselves out of them and evolve them I am not saying that we see the beauty in that in fifth dimensional consciousness But we can see their place in life and where they are going And that can be very very challenging for me at the human being level to actually see things from a greater perspective But in that higher space you actually start to see what is going on You also have this deep connection with your soul with your greater consciousness and you start To make decisions at the soul level. So what are the things that I need to do in my life? What actually is happening here from a much greater perspective? What are the lessons that I'm learning how am I stumbling right as humans what we do which is so beautiful Is we may be get caught in situations that we can't really work ourselves out of We can see that from this higher perspective. Oh, I keep doing this particular thing and keep having the same result Or things aren't moving the way that I need to I can change it. I can make a different decision And then another aspect of fifth dimensional consciousness is that answers are instantaneous So I think many of us myself certainly Are in a place in the body in third dimensional consciousness where we're really struggling with things We're trying to find answers. We're trying to get clarity trying to figure out what next steps are in fifth dimensional consciousness When we're at the soul level answers are Simultaneous either instantaneous and basically you ask the question and the answer comes So it's a really really beautiful evolved state of being But it requires some work and it also means you have to do a lot of inner work because as you continue expanding As you may have experienced in life those things that are painful or that have not evolved at the same rate as other aspects of us Get fleshed up and we're given an opportunity to look at them That's beautiful. Does that make sense? Yeah, it does. Yeah, uh, well at least at this kind of But um, maybe you could say a bit about what you mean by soul and Divine self I dance one of the terms you use as well. They're like, what's the difference between the two and how does that relate to us? Great question. So I'm actually just learning this right? I have channeled on it Which means when I say channeling I mean archangel ariel and the beings of light She works with because my understanding is it's not just her. It's a collective They have talked about divine self consciousness Which as I understand it is at is that it's Even less of a separation from source or from god or goddess Creatrix creator a lot whatever is, you know term resonates with people But my belief system and my understanding is that we come from source that there is a source Um, and then there's individuation that source learns about itself by Individuating and seeing all of these different aspects of beingness as we know it here on our earth and elsewhere um, and The divine self is almost um If you I'm not entirely sure this is really the correct way to think about it, but I think it helps in human terms Um, if you think of the soul the divine self is like a step up or a greater expanded consciousness That's even closer to source than where the soul level resides god. That's that's helpful and uh, Can you talk a bit about time? um, you know You have you in some of your materials you talk about linear time and simultaneous time Um, maybe describe what that means sure So linear time we all know this we experience this in a human body It's past present and future and it makes sense in a body and on the earth at this time to have that because we have developmental markers And we have things in our life that um track past present and future uh, fifth dimensional consciousness Resides a concept that is known as simultaneous time And what that is is the concept that everything is now your past present and future are all Now existing simultaneously And that is um, I think a really challenging concept for us to understand in the brain because we are so used to past present and future But when you actually experience fifth dimensional consciousness and you're in the the constructs of simultaneous time It is there actually aren't words for me to describe it. It it just it is you just have this deep feeling and knowing that it's all now there really isn't um the linear time Illusion that we experience on earth, which serves us But when we step out of that third dimensional construct time operates very very differently And you have a exercise or meditation that you lead people through Um, I imagine we probably don't have time and linear time But uh, but can you talk a bit about that that meditation kind of what it's meant to do? And uh, is that something that you'll you'll have available somewhere? Yes, so The meditation is meant to help take people slowly and comfortably at the pace of their own selves and under the guidance of their their soul and um their divine self Into fifth dimensional simultaneous time where you actually feel Time start to come together and you actually feel that all is now that it's all past present and future is just now It's just now Um, and I will say it for me It takes a long time for me to actually experience simultaneous time because I have strong attachments to pass present and future to linear time So um, it this is a practice for me There are probably many many many people on the planet who can actually access it very quickly But for those who want to try and experience the meditation which I will put together for you If it doesn't work the first couple of times just keep trying and just trust that your soul And your divine self are doing everything in the timing and way that is appropriate for you Because like I said earlier as we continue expanding and experiencing different states of consciousness Other things can come up for us that we may need to look at So I'm I find it amazing. It's a phenomenal experience and it really helps I think for me put things in right relationship, right when I'm in the human body There are things in my life that feel really big and insurmountable But when I'm in this greater Expanded place and I'm experiencing simultaneous time that huge thing That's really hard to deal with in the human body all of a sudden becomes much smaller and it's put in its right place That's beautiful. So I look forward to um, you know I'll have a link of course for for people to to check it out And uh, so be sure you know those watching if you want to experience this exercise Look at the notes of the video. There will be a link to to access that meditation and and the other thing is um, just a reminder about the planetary alignment collective pac which is um, Alyssa's group Offering and it's uh, how often do you all meet? Yeah, so I do a channeling once a month and I always invite people to join I do you know when I do the live channeling Um, and then I actually release the channeling on the 7th of every month. That was what the guides told me they wanted me to do So I'm honoring that Awesome Part of it, too I actually often do a lot of free channelings with the group that I you know utilize later But they get to join those channelings for free. Cool. And uh, maybe last question if we have time is uh Priestess paradigm since that's your website priestess paradigm dot earth. What does that mean for you? That's such a beautiful question When I really spend a lot of time exploring So for me to be a priestess at this point in my understanding of this archetype Is really a deep commitment to inner work? Really looking at those places that Need to have the light shine on them working through whatever it is that's coming up It's also a commitment to helping humanity evolve and by that. I mean really doing Inner work, like I said and then showing up being a leader in some way really using voice to express thoughts And then especially, you know, something that I'm very aware of and I work on being a white woman and having a spiritually based business Is all of the white privileges that are attached to that and especially because I have quite um, You know a very diverse background You know having used to practice law and being in corporate america There's a lot of entitlement and privileges that go with that that I really work on as well as part of being a priestess So looking at all of these aspects of myself and really showing up to create the world that I really desire to create Which is rooted in equality and equity and respect and reverence for everyone and for everything on this planet That's awesome. That's awesome. Wonderful. Well, thank you lisa for the beautiful work that you do I I hope that everyone watching this Will check out the meditation and the planter at alignment collective pack And just your website overall and just kind of explore more about how you're how you're bringing This consciousness of higher consciousness into the world. So thank you so much Thank you so much for chatting with me today. It has been a joy. Yeah, thank you
