Season Shift And A Hard Truth

Hey, what's going on, guys? Princeton Clark here, and I want to welcome you to this episode of Evolved Mastery. Guys, as we move into season four, there's some things that I want to begin to dive really deep with you guys on. And you're going to start to see that although these things seem very deep, it's really reaching into the depth of what you are beyond the idea of who you think you are. I want to help you understand the self-mastery journey. And so I'm going to be teaching a lot more than speaking in coming episodes in this new season. And so today, as we end season three of the Evolved Mastery podcast, I want to talk to you about the cost of alignment. The thing about alignment is this. Whenever you have a vision for a version of you that you know you must become in order to manifest a change or a new reality in any way, it's going to cost you something. And a lot of the times you hear people talk about alignment and they talk about what they experienced when they finally got to alignment or they found this place of alignment within their life or within their relationships or within their business. But what you don't hear them often talk about as deeply enough is what it costs them to get there. Everybody loves to celebrate the wins, especially when they're selling coaching or selling packaging. But what they're not talking about is what you're going to have to lose in order to win. And I've been on this journey for going on two and a half decades. I've fallen and risen so many times. I've had to die to more versions of Princeton than most people are willing to look at the current version of themselves. And it's cost me relationships. It's cost me experiences, it's cost me opportunities that other people would have taken. But because it was out of alignment for me, I knew that if I had taken it, it would have been one of those situations where I felt like I took 20 steps forward but got knocked back 50 steps. And so there's a cost that comes with alignment. And the more out of alignment you become, I want you to imagine this. Imagine that there's this divine path. There's this path that you're called to walk. A lot of times we hear people talk about free will, which you do have free will. As a divine creator, you have free will to build your businesses how you want, to build your relationships how you want, to build the life how you want. But there's also a divine will for your life. And in order to walk that path, you're going to have to let go of the personified ideas of self and the ideas and programming that comes with that self. Otherwise, what happens is as you're trying to navigate to create this life of fulfillment and this life of freedom, the personified idea of self, aka ego, is going to pull you to the right. It's going to pull you to the left. It's going to pull you off of your divine trajectory, your current chosen life path. As this begins to happen, imagine there's bands attached to you as you go to the right away from that divine path. The further you go, the more tense it becomes. As you go to the left of that divine path, the further you go left, the more tense it becomes. Now I want you to consider where you are in your life. Where are you feeling tension? I want you to imagine, what are you feeling tension with? Who are you feeling tension with? And I want you to just bear with me, walk with me through this. We're going to be here for a good time, not for a long time, because this isn't some deep esoteric thing. We call it depth because it requires you to go within yourself. It calls you out of your head back within, back into the depth, not in the shallowness of personified idea of self. And so what begins to happen is as you go left or you go right, it creates tension. And this is a good way for you to recognize when you're in alignment and when you're not. You get into that business and it creates tension and stress and frustration. You become complacent, you become comfortable, and all of a sudden you feel tension and you're wondering why you're feeling tension. And it's because it's pulled you off your divine path. There's something else that you're supposed to be doing, but you've been so shallow-minded and you haven't been seeking the depth within that it's pulled you away from yourself. You're now living life as a performer. You are performing an experience that's out of alignment with the divine experience that's possible for you. As a result, this is why so many people go to their grave carrying their potential with them. But I got a question for you. Are you willing to leave this life? Because you only get one. Are you willing to leave this life with all of that potential, all of that power, and all of that purpose locked away within you because you stayed shallow. You stayed in what makes sense. You stayed in what your family taught you. You stayed in what other people said you should do, but you never learn to truly connect with yourself. This is why I always say you can't even talk about personal and professional development until you talk about spiritual development. Because if you don't understand what you are, you'll never fully understand what you have the capacity to be and the level in which you have the capacity to flow and create the life you have the potential, power, and purpose to create. And many of you, as you look at your relationships, as you look at your job situation, as you look at your reality and a whole, when you start assessing where do I feel tension, who do I feel tension with, what do I feel tension with, start making a list of those things. And in those areas, make it a point to recognize that you are out of alignment because we are designed to flow. And when we're in alignment, that flow becomes fulfilling, it becomes inspired, it becomes whole, it becomes free. But so many people are stuck living outside of themselves or being stuck in their head, in the insanity, in the stories, that they never even learn what this process is like. So to truly step into alignment means to let go of what no longer serves you, to let go of what's no longer in the flow for you. Because, see, some things may be in a flow for a season and it feels really good, but when you outgrow it, you know it because you start feeling tension. And that's like saying, your season here is up. And you feel it before the tension gets heavy and it becomes stressful, you start feeling it very early. And this is why it's important to develop a higher level of awareness and to be mindful of where you are. Because if you don't do this, it's going to keep you stuck. If you don't learn to do this, it's going to knock you off course and you could veer so far right or so far left that it takes you forever to get back to center. But really, through self-accountability and responsibility, your ability to respond, you can begin to navigate that. And this is where if you've navigated too far or you're stuck in a place where you're perplexed, you're tight, your nervous system is fried, these things happen because the identity that you've been functioning in no longer serves you where you are. And now that cost just went up. And so now when you have to let go of that job or those circumstances, that living situation or that relationship, it feels even harder to do it because now you've gotten attached to it to such a degree that it literally feels like part of you is dying to detach from it. But the thing is, part of you is dying. That part of you that no longer serves you, that part of you that's attached to that thing that's keeping you from your divine path. And see, until we start having these deeper levels of conversation that allow us to be more introspective instead of constantly trying to contemplate and explain and understand and overanalyze, until we start coming back to here and being radically honest with ourselves, this place of perplexity and insanity will perpetuate itself over and over and over again. Pretty soon, it'll permeate the entirety of your life. When you get to that point in your life where you feel lost, it's because you're out of alignment. Because you've veered so far left or so far right from the divine path that you have the power, potential, and purpose to manifest along that you've completely lost sight of what you are as a divine creator. You've lost yourself and you've fallen into the lie of this personified idea of self, the program, the stories, the narratives, the fear, the worry, the doubt that comes with all the masks. And so you've become a shell of what you're meant to be. See, business doesn't teach you this. Personal development barely scratches the surface nowadays. There is very little deep contemplation. And see, I can teach in all of these different areas, but the root of everything that I teach is self-mastery. Consciously reconnecting to that identity that you must surrender to in order to awaken that power, that potential, and that purpose again. Without this, it does not matter what you do. No matter what happens, if that yes from your spirit that's trying to pull you back to this divine path is not followed, if you are not surrendering to it or learning how to surrender to it, no matter what you go into, it will become a hell no at certain point. And as a result, you create a living hell of an experience, a living hell of a relationship, a living hell of a working experience, a living hell of a professional journey. This stuff doesn't create itself by accident. And see, this is why I wanted to have this conversation. You're not where you are by accident. You're where you are because you've made a specific set of decisions for so long that it's pulled you outside of yourself. And now your soul is warring, and this is why many times you feel as if there's this tug of war happening. There's a version of you that knows what's possible, then there's the version of you who's afraid of what's possible. There's the version of you that plays the victim, and then there's that part of you that knows that it was built for more, that it was born for more. And those two versions of you, until you release the first one, or the one that no longer serves you, rather, it's gonna war against the true essence of what you are. And so I wanted to drop that in today, and I wanted to give you guys something to think about as we go into season four of the Evolve Mastery podcast. No matter which level you find yourself on, you're always in a state of being a seeker, a builder, or a leader. And this is why I created my real method. Real stands for, if you haven't heard it in a former podcast, it stands for reclaim, embody, align, and lead. My goal here on this earth plane is to guide souls back to their power so that they can reclaim it, so that they can embody the true essence of that deeper identity, so that they can align their life in its fullness with that identity and begin to lead purposefully in their power. This is the entire method behind evolved mastery. This is what I've had to learn how to walk in and operate in and teach people for over the last 20 plus years. But this is the work that most people run from because it doesn't feel good to let go of that version of yourself that you believe you are. Only when you begin to believe that you're worth more and you're capable of more, and that nothing is worth you not becoming that, does the release become easier? And many cases, like I've said before, it becomes harder for a lot of people because they've been so far right or so far left for so long that they completely disconnect. And that bind, that that wire that's connecting them, that band is pulling some tight that they can bar, they can hardly breathe. But what if I told you you could start catching your breath today? What if I told you that it didn't have to be that hard? And that in all actuality, life isn't hard. Living a life disconnected from what you are is hard. But when you can start to learn this and step into this, that's when you truly become free. We hear on social media, everybody's talking about God and spirituality, all these different things. And what's crazy is on the surface it looks great. But for someone who's been teaching this stuff and who studied conscious psychology, who has a bachelor's in biblical studies in Eastern religion, who has studied the deeper teachings of the East that have been perverted in the West, for someone like me, it's noise, it's performance. It's not even real. It's being done for show. But when you embody it, you begin to walk in a state where you don't need to perform. You don't need to tell people what you are. They look at you and they know something's different. They hear how you communicate and they know that something's changed. They feel your energy when you enter into a room and they know that something about you is not like the rest. If you want to own that type of power, that's what I teach. How to be so present and so powerful and so aligned in your life that everything in your life begins to shift to align with you because it's now along that divine path, not the broad path. So if you'd love to learn more about this as we go into season two, maybe you're in a space and you're like, I don't know what level I'm at, I don't know what patterns I'm operating under, whether it's the seeker, the builder phase, or the leader phase. And I want to learn how I can start stepping into this real method where I reclaim, embody, align, and lead my life from the divine path. If that's you, I want you to go to Evolvedmastery.com and I'll put the link in the bio. It's Evolvedmastery.com, and there's an assessment that you can take that's going to tell you exactly where you are, what your biggest challenges are where you are, and what you can begin to do to navigate back to your true center. And if you want to move beyond that, maybe you're in a space where you're like, you know what, I know that this can help me, but I'm looking to work with someone. I'm also open to a few clients right now. But if you're looking for a coach, you're looking for a guide, someone who has taken this journey who can help guide you back to your divine path so that you can flourish in your business, so that you can flourish in your relationships, so that you can flourish as a parent and as an individual that's manifesting a life of fulfillment and freedom, so that you can turn decades into days. If you're ready to move swiftly to start manifesting and gaining back the time that you feel you've lost, I'm here. But I want you to think about that today. Look at every area in your life and ask yourself, where am I feeling tension? And then I want you to write it all out. And then I want you to ask yourself, where have I outgrown? Or rather, let's say I want you to ask yourself, what have I outgrown that has kept me here? Then I want you to ask yourself, what am I so afraid to let go of? What am I so afraid to say? What truth have I been unwilling to pay attention to? And if you want to learn more, I want you to reach out to me. Send me the message. If this landed with you, first of all, let's keep it simple. If this landed with you, yes, definitely go take the assessment. Like I said, the link is in the bio. But if you're like, okay, this really landed, this is what I've been seeking. If it lands, it's gonna land here, not here. If you're still trying to make sense of it here, you're still shallow. But if it landed here, I want you to message me the word aligned. And let me know that you listen to this podcast. Like I said, I'm opening up for a few clients right now, and I'm running a few specials, depending on where people are. But my time is valuable and your time is valuable. You are the greatest investment that you will ever have. But I want to work with you. You are my ideal client if that landed. If it didn't land, you're not my ideal client. You're not someone that I'm meant to guide, someone I'm meant to say, take my hand, let me walk with you. But it's giving you something to think about. But listen, I appreciate you guys tuning into this episode of Evolved Mastery. And make sure you subscribe. And make sure you subscribe because this next season four is about to be great. We're gonna be flowing more from this vein. So if you appreciated this, please share it and help me to reach more people. And let's make this world better together. Let's all return back to that divine path so that we can begin to move forward, creating and manifesting our power, our potential, and our purpose in a way that it leaves a legacy. I'll be talking to you guys again soon.
