In this episode, you'll discover:✨ Why mistranslations in the Bible kept you from Christ consciousness✨ How your root chakra holds religious trauma from childhood programming✨ The energetic shift happening now for souls completing 3D incarnationHave you ever felt like the God you were taught to worship doesn't match the God you actually experience? Like there's this massive gap between what you were told to believe and what your soul knows to be true?I grew up in a world where God was a checklist. Say the right prayers. Follow the right rules. Fear the right things. And for a long time, I thought leaving religion meant leaving God entirely. I couldn't even say the word "God" without feeling like I was betraying the version of myself that had fought so hard to break free. So I called it the universe instead. The source. Anything but the loaded word that carried so much baggage.But here's what I've learned. Deconstructing your faith isn't the same as losing your connection to something greater. Sometimes you have to tear down the walls of the house you were raised in to discover the foundation was always sacred.Today our guest is David Hulse, founder of the Academy for Spiritual Awakening and a longtime researcher of ancient texts, energy healing, and the intersection of biblical interpretation and consciousness. He's spent over 60 years moving from fear-based religion to love-based spirituality, and he's here to help you do the same.Links from the episode:Show Notes: mindlove.com/431Join the Mind Love Collective here: https://mindlove.com/joinSign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes to wake up inspiredSupport Mind Love SponsorsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
