Living The Way of Mastery with Jason Amoroso
Each day I will read a passage from The Way of Mastery and share my commentary on it. The intention is to provide an opportunity to develop a consistent, simple spiritual study practice and grow together.
Living The Way of Mastery with Jason Amoroso
Lesson 17: Conditions appropriate for you to incarnate
Lesson 17: The Journey of the Soul
Opening Section
Paragraphs: 13-15
What if your life wasn’t assigned, but chosen? We dive into the soul’s perspective before birth, the way awareness spans many dimensions at once, and how attention works like a radio tuner—what you focus on becomes the world you experience. From there, we explore the decision to incarnate: the perception of “unfinished business,” the lessons that require the density of a body, and the compassionate urge to bring light to a world that seems to suffer.
Along the way, we challenge the savior trap that sneaks into spiritual service. Even the desire to heal can hide the belief that reality is wrong. Instead, we reframe healing as presence, not fixing—an everyday practice accessible to anyone, whether you’re holding space as a facilitator or cooking dinner with love. Pain isn’t a malfunction; it’s an invitation. When we meet sensation directly—without rushing to label or solve—emotion moves, insight follows, and the nervous system remembers safety.
I also share candidly about recent panic and grief: how the mind can spiral into worst-case stories, and how somatic honesty—breath, tears, trembling—can allow the wave to pass. We compare judgment with curiosity, and how a small shift in the way we ask questions opens the door to meaning. The throughline is empowerment: you chose this curriculum, and you can choose how to meet it now. If attention is your instrument, practice is how you learn to play it with care, consistency, and a little grace.
If this conversation helps you remember who you are, help others find it too—follow the show, rate it on Spotify, write a review on Apple, and share it with someone who needs the reminder. What lesson might your life be teaching you today?

Hello and welcome back to Living the Way of Mastery. I'm Jason Emerosa, your guide and friend and fellow student. And today we continue in lesson seventeen, the journey of the soul, the opening section, and Jeshua continues, as you were abiding in that state before coming into this incarnation, you were in relationship. Most of you were multidimensionally aware, that is, while you had a predominant color or level of energy, you were aware that you were surrounded at all times by other dimensions. Many of you communicated multidimensionally, both with that of a higher frequency as well as that of a lower frequency. Many of you communicated with beings who were incarnated within the third dimensional realm. Love this. So Jeshua is again talking about how before we were in a physical body. And if this doesn't make a lot of sense to your brain, that's okay. Just take it in. And another way that I like to look at this kind of stuff is like, well, let's just assume that this is let's assume this is true. And it makes sense. If you are pure consciousness, you would have multidimensional awareness that, and Jesu has been saying this since the beginning, nothing is off limits to you. There's nothing hidden. When you are pure awareness, you are aware of everything. And again, we've shared that many people who have had near-death experiences, NDEs, have shared that, that all of a sudden I was not in my body and I had pure awareness of all that is. The brain cannot comprehend that. But this is really cool. Jeshua's giving us a kind of behind the scenes of what we really are. He's going to keep communicating to us who we are. And over time, over repetition, we our brain that is so closed to anything outside of what we think we are starts to accept these things and allow little bits and pieces in. And then we start to have experiences that reflect that through revelation breathwork session or being out in nature or love making or meditation or plant medicine journey, where we start to see beyond the veil of the ego. So you were multidimensionally aware. There are more than one dimension. And you, while you had a predominant color or a level of energy, that's cool. When I hear that, the predominant color, my favorite color in this lifetime that I can remember, has always been green. And the green is the heart chakra color. It makes total sense for my life. Jason in Greek means healer. Amaroso means loving. My name literally means healing with loving. And that's what I do for a living, for a profession, for the joy of it. I do it for free if I could. Um, I love it. And healing is not just through a revelation breath work session, it's holding space in love. You can be healing in as a cook. You could be healed. It does like what you're doing, your profession, your job does not matter. If you bring love in whatever you do, that is healing. So we are redefining healing in that way. So, anyways, my primary color is my predominant color that I resonate most with is green. And that makes sense. And he says that you were aware that you are surrounded at all times by other dimensions. It's you know, the a great analogy is like the radio, um, which I know is kind of outdated now, but still, still works. Like you can tune in to any station. When you're tuned in to 100.3, you don't hear what's on 98.7, but you can easily just switch over to 98.7 and hear that station. And then you could switch over to AM and hear, you know, 1010 from Long Island, New York back in the day. 1010 wins, anyways. Um it's like you have access to all of it, and what your focus is on is what you experience. So he says many of you communicated multidimensionally, both with that of a higher frequency as well as that of a lower frequency. And there's no judgment here. So often it's like, oh, lower frequency, that's bad, that's negative, I don't want to be there. Uh while Jeshua is taking a much more neutral, because all things are neutral, neutral perspective. It's not good or bad. It just is what it is. It just creates certain experiences. And we get to choose. We are not a victim of anything. We get to choose our experience by where we decide to focus our attention. It's that simple. So we get to communicate with that and with beings of a higher frequency as well as that and a lower frequency. And he says many of you communicated with beings who were incarnated within the third-dimensional realm. Translation, people, humans, just like we can communicate now with angels and guides, your loved ones who have passed and transitioned, like I've shared many, many times. My relationship with my brother, who transitioned back in 2021 from pancreatic cancer. I mean, that's not really, that was the physical reason he transitioned, but anyways, um, is closer now. My relationship with him is closer now than it was when he was in a body, which was more competitive as brothers can be. He was four and a half years older, um, or four years older, but just competitive and contentious. Like we got along well, but there was also like underpinnings of of, you know, I thought he was selfish and um and he was, I mean, he was. And I'm sure I I was things that he didn't, you know, care for. That's how relationships work, especially in family. We, we uh we trigger each other because that serves each other's lessons. Anyways, Jeshua's saying that you, when you are not in a body, you communicate with people in a body, just like you can do now. And I encourage you, if you're like, I don't really get that, if you're open to it, if you have an intention to communicate with um loved ones and soul friends, let's call them that, angels, guides, just be open to the idea that one, it's possible. Because if you don't think it's possible, you're not gonna really experience it. If you're even open to the idea, that doesn't mean you can't, by the way. You absolutely can. There's been plenty of you know stories and examples of people who were not religious or spiritual or didn't think they were angels, and then they I just saw a video the other day on YouTube of uh a woman who was hardcore atheist, and she was riding a horse, and the horse fell backwards and basically on top of her, and she was like, instantly it popped out of my body, and there was a being right next to me, a being of light, and I instantly recognized the being as Jesus. And he was there smiling, and he said, I'm here for you, I'm always here for you. She did not want to go back into the human experience, into the body, but she did. And this was a hardcore atheist. So it doesn't mean just because you're not open to it, it can't happen. But if you want to play and have more of a playful, experimenting energy, just be open to it. Hey, I want to hear from my guides, I want to have visitations in my dreams, uh, you know, and then I want to, you know, communicate in meditations. I mean, the way I communicate with my brother is like having a conversation in my head, but it's not me talking to me. I know the head, the voice in my head. This is a different voice. Same with Jeshua. I mean, the skeptic in me is like, oh, you're just talking to yourself. Like, is this real? Can you trust this? How do you know this is Jesus? How do you know this is your brother? Um, there is a part of me, I have to acknowledge that, I can't deny that, uh, but I don't pay a lot of attention to that voice because I know the quality, the tenor, the vibration of that voice, whether it's Jesus or God or Starcaster, uh, or my brother Lewis, or my grandfather Poppy Paul, or uh uh Anthony DeMello is uh is on my guide's council, um, or Joel Goldsmith, who's also on my guides council, I know the quality of their communication. And that just is through practice and being open. So, anyways, we go to the next paragraph. And Jeshua continues, then there was a moment for each and every one of you when the decision was made within your consciousness, within your mind, that conditions were appropriate for you to again incarnate. There are many, many factors that attract the soul to yet again condense into physical form. But the chief among these is the perception and thought that there is yet something left undone. There is yet some lesson that cannot be realized save within the physical domain. There is indeed a purpose that you as a soul would yet wish to fulfill. This is great. This is so great. You know, the what as I'm reading that makes me think of that old TV show I'm dating myself now, and I was a kid, and my dad used to watch, and I would sit with him and watch it, Quantum Leap. Do you remember that show? I'm 46 now, so um, it was back in the day, probably early 90s, Quantum Leap, where uh Scott Bacchula would like leap into a different body and then have like a thing to do in that body. You know, he'd go back to the 50s and then he'd have to not like solve crimes and stuff, but make a wrong right or help somebody do something, and then he would quantum leap into another lifetime and another body with another mission. And it could be a man, a woman, like it didn't matter. Um, that was a fun, but this is kind of like reminds me of that. That as a soul within your consciousness, you're like, hey, um I I want to. It's not even, it's not against your will. That is important to note, right? He says the decision was made within your consciousness. He's not saying God puts you in there or Jesus sends you down, or you know, some other force or your prisoner in the world and in a body, like none of that. You, this whole teaching of the way of mastery is the most empowering spiritual teaching. And there's many other empowering spiritual teachings too. And they all say the same thing. And this is saying this that you decide, you create. Now, not your ego-limited personal self-brain. Like, well, why would I choose cancer? You didn't, like the you that you is saying that, the ego self didn't. Your soul created this experience to grow and learn from. And cancer was one vehicle. Maybe in a different lifetime, the vehicle was um, I don't know, be be being poor and suffering in that way. Maybe another lifetime it was being really wealthy and changing people's lives that way. Like it doesn't always have to come through suffering for sure. Um, it it can, but anything can be a vehicle for growth and transformation. Why would we limit it and say only the hard things, only the suffering things? Any experience, poetry, love, creation, innovation, uh, anything can be art, music, anything can be a vehicle for transformation. So, anyways, it's you're not a you're not at the mercy of anything. He says a decision was made within your consciousness. So, right now, the life that you are living, what seems to be a human form with your name. My name is Carol Jones. I grew up in Florida, I now live in Wyoming, and I'm 48 years old. I've got a husband and two kids, and my father was an alcoholic, and you know, my mother committed suicide, and or whatever. That was pretty dramatic. Or I had a great childhood, and I love my life, I'm doing exactly what I want to do. Whatever your life story is, is unique to you. It is the eye of the needle that you must pass through. It is your unique curriculum that your soul chose for a reason. So let's just establish that. So think about that, huh? Let me look back at my life, the big events, the themes, the common threads, the just the way that I see the world. All of it is by design. All of it is by choice. That's powerful. So Jeshua says the decision was made within your consciousness, within your mind, that conditions were appropriate for you to again incarnate, implying this is not your first rodeo. Okay, I want to do something. I have a purpose, I have a mission, I have a reason, I have a lesson I want to learn. I'm ready to incarnate. The conditions are right. I find these two people, they're there, maybe they're in love, maybe they're not in love, and uh I'm gonna come through them, this man and this woman, I'm gonna be their baby, uh, and they're they're Jewish or they're Hindu or they're black or they're Asian. Like it does, they're there. They live in China, they live in South America, they're poor, they're rich. It doesn't matter, but your soul knows the conditions. They have a lack and scarcity mindset, they have an abundant mindset, they're really courageous and joyful and dedicated to truth. They're really, you know, uh atheist, they don't care, whatever. It doesn't matter. Your soul has chosen the perfect conditions for what you came to do. Now, if you don't like that at an ego personal self-level, well, this is where forgiveness and acceptance comes in. Otherwise, you're suffering, you're fighting with reality. So Jeshua says there's many, many factors that attract the soul to yet again condense into physical form. And he doesn't list them, but he says there's lots of factors. Your ego self, your personal self, is is not gonna know all of them, uh in my opinion, uh, when you're in your ego self. Now, maybe in a meditation, or maybe in a breath work session, or maybe in a plant medicine, or maybe when you're a near-death experience, you have access to vaster of your con vaster of your consciousness. That's not great English, but you have more access to uh an expansive consciousness to understand or know maybe what some of those factors are. Maybe you'll never know as a human, and you don't need to know. But there's many factors that attract the soul you to yet again condense into physical form. But the chief, the primary, the main among these is the perception. It's a perception. It's one way of seeing something, it's a positionality. To quote, you know, use the word from Dr. David Hawkins from the eye of the eye and power versus force and letting go to name some of his amazing work, books. Um, the chief among these is the perception and the thought that there's yet something left undone. This is where I think of Quantum Leap. Oh, this needs to happen. I need to do this. This is my purpose. I'm going in on a mission. But it's like there's something left undone that needs to happen. That's how we're seeing it. It's incomplete. I need this, I'm lacking something. It's not right or wrong, it's not good or bad. It's he's just saying how it is. There is yet some lesson that cannot be we think, we think there's some lesson we can't that can't be realized save except within the physical domain. Dang, I need to experience more unconditional love. So I'm gonna go into this family that is anything but that is very judgmental and conditionally loving, because that's gonna give me the experience to choose and really know and embody unconditional love. And that's usually like this is totally a generalization, what I'm about to say. I'm I'm acknowledging that. But just look at your main life themes and the the hardships and the challenges and the traumas and the pains and the sufferings that you've had. We, your soul chose that so you could have the opposite. So if you had a really controlling childhood, your parents were really strict and controlling and judgmental and critical, it's so that you could know and choose the opposite of that freedom, self-love. Like whatever your challenges are, your soul chose it so you could have the opposite, the expansive version of it. So that's what Jeshua's saying. There's some lesson that can't be realized except within the physical domain. That's what your soul believes. There is indeed a purpose that you as a soul would yet wish to fulfill. That's it. And in the next paragraph, he says, it's very true that some of you have incarnated because you felt compassion. That is, you looked upon the third-dimensional realm, you looked upon earth and the human experience and saw its suffering and yearned in italics, you yearned to bring light to this dimension in which you now find yourself. Yet even this in italics, this, yet even coming to because you're yearning to bring more light to the world, yet even this stems forth from the reason or the perception that you must do something to correct what is occurring. We're gonna end on this because it's such a powerful, it's such a powerful uh idea that he's saying, that even if you came to bring light to the world, that too is coming from some belief that there's something wrong that needs to be different. That you, that you could that bringing light corrects something, that I can save the sufferings of others by being the light, by being a healer. This is one of the things we teach in our Revelation Breath Work facilitator certification training. Yeah, revelation breath work, the modality, is like the tool, it's the vehicle. But the training is more about the consciousness, this consciousness, that you're not there to heal someone. They're not broken, they don't need fixing, you're not there to save them, you're not there to take away their suffering and their pain, which is what so many people go to quote, and I use finger quotes, you can't see me. When I say healers, I'm emphasizing that. So many people go to healers to help take their pain away. When their pain is an invitation. It's the way in. So instead of trying to go some go somewhere to get rid of it and fix it and get out of the discomfort, the pain is actually inviting you in. So you can see what's underneath, so you can feel and express what's underneath the misunderstandings. That you're separate, that you're not enough, that you're unworthy of love, whatever. It's the greatest hits of the ego. It's the greatest mist the tiny mad idea of separation. But we don't like that. So we want to go to a healer to feel better because we don't like feeling the way we're feeling. That's a misunderstanding. So this this is the same idea. So as a soul, you're like, oh my God, look at this, these people are suffering, and I can help their suff, I can ease their pain, I can ease their suffering. So let me incarnate into a body to bring light to the world so there's more light and less suffering. A worthy endeavor, but Jeshua's saying it still is coming from this idea that something needs to be different. And you get to be the vehicle to change that. So that's like an ego trip, too. Look at me, that's my the ego will use anything, by the way. You know that. The ego will use anything to puff itself up and feel special. Being a healer, bringing light to the world. I'm doing God's work, right? The ego will hijack that shit in a second. So he's just pointing it out. Again, it's he's not judging it, he's not criticizing it, but it's coming from a fundamental misunderstanding that something needs correction. And in in in in God, everything is perfect. God is not a person. God is not a a being per se. God is the allness of life. And and expressions of God made in the image and likeness are souls, let's call them. them. I mean he's he's laid this whole thing out for us. So you're a soul who came to have a human who chose to have a human experience because you believe there is some lesson that was good that that that coming to the physical realm was the only way that you could learn the lesson or you could achieve the purpose, even if it's coming to ease the suffering of others. That's powerful. So in a way he I I'm I'm I'm making things up here. In a way I would guess that he's saying I didn't come for that. I didn't incarnate to save the world, to heal others, to ease the suffering necessary. I just came to tell the truth to help people wake up. Not because there's anything wrong with being asleep. That's the key. It's the consciousness that oh I need to change something because it's not the way it should be or it could be better. He's just expressing what he is. He's coming teaching so great. Now we have an understanding of more of the soul's purpose the soul's uh concepts of being in a body of of how and why we've chosen this there's a lot more here but this is good stuff. I love this. And let's just acknowledge while we're learning more about this and we're opening to these concepts and ideas, we may still be having the human experience and that's totally perfect and great. You're struggling you're in the shit you're heartbroken like this last this last man couple months but definitely the last like this last week I had an intense panic attack and I've had many over the last like several months and this and the ego part of me is like, well you're spiritual you're a breath work teacher you have somatic tools like you have all the tools you know better. Why are you having a panic attack? What's wrong with you? What are you not getting? I have to acknowledge that that part of my brain exists. It does. And when I focus on those, when I put my attention on those thoughts, I suffer a lot. Uh and I've had a lot of help let let me be totally transparent and praise my wife who's an incredible being of light and wife and partner and friend who's who's helping me deepen in my own practice of the somatic piece of feeling because I can be as heady and intellectual I can understand my issues all day long. I can get all the theories but and I feel deeply which I think is part of when the the big feelings come up like I don't want to feel it. And that's I think that's very natural for in my experience any human being we resist feeling. So anyways, long story short these panic attacks are coming up around totally unconscious things that my my brain is not thinking about death, grief, sadness that like my day-to-day is awesome. It's great. I love my family I love my life but there's things that are under there that are coming up. And instead of being oh that's a bug, no, that's a feature that's not a bug. There's nothing wrong. This is actually a really good thing even though part of me is freaking out. Well my heart's racing, I'm gonna have a heart attack, I'm gonna die. What's wrong with me? Why is my body and of course with my brother who died seemingly out of nowhere one day he, you know, he was sick and he got diagnosed with stage four of pancreatic cancer, nine months later dead. So there's absolutely a part of me not all of me it's a very small part that's terrified that that's gonna happen to me as well. That life's gonna creep up out of nowhere and say, gotcha bitch, you're gonna die. All this was fake. God's fake. God doesn't care about you. The body you're at the you are a victim and at the mercy of the body you don't have control over anything. You're dead you're dead and there's nothing and the whole thing was a scam. There is a part of me that thinks that way. When I focus on that I suffer tremendously when I just see that it's running a a narrative a story and it creates a certain experience when I'm willing to feel my feelings fully not my not feel my thinking about not feeling my thinking about what might be happening, but just the energy, the the raw emotion without labeling it, just who and the sensation in my body, that energy passes so the this this panic attack that came out of nowhere and then I allowed it, I didn't resist it and I didn't I mean I part of me did resist it and part of me did try and analyze it. But when I just allowed it and I felt it fully and I felt the fear around it, I felt the the energy of it. It was grief, it was sadness of like things that had like of the future things of my own death of my own life of the death of my kids and they're all healthy and young but like I'm not deny I can't deny that that's what it was death of my parents, death of people I love the loss and mentally, intellectually way of mastery I know loss is not real and I truly believe that but there's also the somatic piece of it that I can't deny that there is a part of me that does believe it. And so I was feeling that and it came out of nowhere and I as I allowed it it took some time and maybe about an hour or so I did some journaling too I did a lot of crying and then it passed and then I was fine. So this is part of my human experience right now. So as much as I'm saying I know all these things that Jeshua's talking about and I'm not teaching it so much but like sharing my commentary on it in this podcast like I'm also having a human experience and I'm letting myself be human. I'm letting myself have the range of emotions I'm letting myself have all of it because what we resist is just denial. We're denying it what we resist persists and it just grows and grows and grows. And it's the shadow side and unconditional love is love for all of it. Love embraces all things love accepts all things and love allows all things even cancer even panic attacks even whatever it is love allows all things. So I'm being invited there's a deeper invitation that my in my brain is not yet clear and that's okay. A part of me definitely wants to know what's this about? How is this serving my life purpose? What does this mean? Is this just a phase? How long is this phase lasting? Like there's a part of me that has all those thoughts but when I can quiet the mind to be still uh at the end of the day honestly when I'm still it doesn't matter I don't need any answer to any questions. It's just it is right now. This is just where I'm at. And the more I allow and accept the more information I get from within and it comes when it comes I can't force it. My brain wants to know right away but it comes when it comes. So give yourself grace to have your human experience it is all for you even when it doesn't seem like it to your brain and your mind how could this be for me? Instead of okay and I'll end on this two questions to ask but you're asking them in different ways. You're you're like changing your tone basically and have a different intention. One is how could this be happening to me? What's you know how could this be happening to me with that kind of tone versus how could this be happening to me? Like huh getting curious instead of judgmental. Same question just kind of asked from a different tone or a different place. So this is fun. I love you. Thanks for being on this journey I know I I got a thing from my my podcast host Buzz Sprout. You may be listening on Spotify or Apple but like Buzz Sprout is what I use to upload the these and uh it's I was so I was honestly I was embarrassed so I've had to do a little bit of self-forgiveness because I was embarrassed and ashamed that in 2025 I only recorded 17 episodes of the podcast. That is not a lot so my intention is to be more consistent this year for sure. At least once a week I was like geez once a week's only 52 so let me at least do that. So that's my intention. And I'm doing the best I can I've got a lot of other things going on. And so yeah sending you lots of love right where you are thanks for being on the journey.
