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: This need to fix
Lesson 17: The Journey of the Soul
Opening Section
Paragraphs: 16-19
What if the world doesn’t need fixing—and neither do you? We dive into a bracing, compassionate teaching from Jeshua that reframes suffering, service, and the endless drive to optimize. Instead of chasing control, we explore how judgment disguises fear, how the ego builds identity on action and opinion, and why a higher awareness perceives no problems to solve.
From there, we zoom out to the soul’s vantage point. Spirit abides beyond time and chooses incarnation as a relational, creative experience. We talk about soul groups, resonant lessons like forgiveness and courage, and the veil of forgetfulness that makes the human game meaningful. No outside force compels us to be here; sovereignty sits at the center, dissolving narratives of punishment or fate. That single insight can soften resistance and awaken responsibility without shame.
We also challenge optimization culture. When the drive to improve comes from lack, it never ends. Limitation, approached with curiosity, becomes a forge for creativity and compassion. We share practical ways to remember—breath work, prayer, nature, movement—and how to meet pain without bypassing it. Daily life becomes your ashram: a place to practice presence, to welcome constraints, and to ask the transformative question, Can I find God here too?

Hello and welcome back to Living the Way of Mastery. I'm Jason Emarosa, your guide and friend and fellow student. And today we continue with lesson 17, The Journey of the Soul, the opening section. We're going to look at the last four paragraphs. But before we do that, I'm going to read paragraph 15, the paragraph before. Just this is like when you watch a show on Netflix and it gives you the recap of the episode or the season up until that point. I'm just going to give you the last paragraph recap to give you a little bit of context, just in case you've missed some and you're popping in right here, which, by the way, that's not the original intent of the podcast. It's really more of a paragraph by paragraph study guide. But I know some people just pop in to get a little daily dose of reminders and inspiration and love. So here we go. Jeshua's saying, it is very true that some of you have incarnated because you felt compassion. That is, you looked upon the third-dimensional realm and saw its suffering and yearned to bring the light to this dimension in which you now find yourself. Yet even this stems forth from the reason or the perception that you must do something to correct in italics, do something to correct what is occurring. So now we continue with today. That is a perception that many of you are aware still runs you. As you look out upon the world, as you look out upon your brothers and sisters, there is this in italics compulsion. There is this compulsion, this need to get involved, to fix. There is a belief in many of you that if you take no action, that somehow you in italics, you are belittled. Your sense of identity, your sense of being is caught up with looking out upon the world, judging what is right and wrong, holding opinions about what ought in italics, what ought to be done, and then often trying to persuade others to do it your way. So Jeshua giving us more context. This is a perception you're aware still runs you, that you want to save the world, that you think you need to, even in a way, I know this to a part of us, even to me, it doesn't sound very loving or it doesn't even sound true in a way, but this is kind of what Jeshua is saying. Like, even if you want to help others, he's saying that nothing needs to be fixed. Like, God is life, not an old man in the sky, not a person. We have made God in our image by making him a person in traditional, let's say, religion, or at least Judeo-Christian religion. But God is life. God is the essence of all that exists, intelligent, one, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent. It's perfect. Nothing needs to be different. But we, our little ego, our little personal self, sees people suffering or sees things that we don't like. We deem it as right and wrong. Well, this should be and this shouldn't be. So what what what do I need to do? How can I help? It is very well intentioned, and yet Jesus, Jeshua Sananda, is inviting us to maybe have a different perspective. He's giving us a different way to see the world, which in a way, again, runs counter to how many of us were raised in our society. You look out upon the world, you look at the people in your world, your brothers or sisters, and there's a compulsion, compulsion, a need to get involved, to fix, to change. And often, as we know, it starts with others. What how can I change other people? How can I fix them? And we don't even look at ourselves. That's usually where it starts. And then as we start to have a little more awareness, we realize oh, what I'm trying to change in others is actually something that resides inside of me. And that word fix is in italics again because it's like, hey, what needs to be fixed or changed, implying it's broken or it's damaged, or it's not okay the way that it is, or it could be better, right? That's like saying to God, hey, the elm could be better than the oak tree, or this version of the oak could be better than that oak. It's like, what are we thinking? We're thinking that we know better. Like, why can't there be space for um for like differences? Why can't there be space in God for disease, for um malformations? Like, who are we to say that anything is not perfectly optimal and designed the way that it should be? But we look at all, especially health defects, we call them, birth defects. We look at that. We just look at everything. We want to fix it and change it. It needs to be better. Some people are in constant improvement mode. I mean, the whole biohacking thing is all about how can I optimize? How can I make things better? And it's just always sometimes it comes from creativity, which is great. It's expansion. It's ooh, what else is possible? A lot of times it's coming from lack. It's coming from I don't feel enough. It's coming from I'm afraid of death. So what do I need to do to make something better because it's not good enough? Because really, inside the projection is I'm not good enough. How can I constantly be better? And then there's a whole transhuman movement where let's put chips in our brain and let's you know shift our physical bodies. It's it's it's crazy. But it's all good. You don't need to fix it. There's space in the universe, there's space in God, even for that. There's nothing to fix. There are really truly no problems to solve from a certain level of consciousness. Now, from a not better or worse, but from a lower level of consciousness, we see all kinds of problems that need to be fixed and addressed. But he's saying, but he's speaking to the soul of us, the God self of us, not the human self, not the ego self. Let's just be clear about that. He says, and then the we get to the identity thing that can really sting. There's a belief in many of you that if you take no action, that somehow you are belittled, right? We the ego is so selfish, it makes everything about us. Well, if I don't save the world, if I don't help people that are suffering, one, there's a big guilt factor in that. And that's what he's talking about, that somehow you are belittled. Your sense of identity, your sense of being is caught up with looking out upon the world, judging what's right and wrong, holding opinions about what you think ought to be done, and then often trying to persuade others to do it your way. I mean, this is definitely politics, probably politics throughout history, but definitely politics now, at least in the United States. You are on one side or the other. And if you're not on the right side, you're wrong. And we try and convince people to be on our side and to think our way. And if they don't like it, then how can we smear them? How can we hurt them? How can we kill them? Right? It's insane. But this is exactly what's happening in the world. And everyone thinks they have their own idea on how to save the world, right? Different ideologies, different belief systems, different cultures. How can we make the world a better place? Jeshua's saying, we don't need to make the world a better place. There's nothing wrong with it, truly, from a certain level of consciousness. And he says, So there you are. You are spirit with a capital S, and you are soul. You are having a relational experience, and you are perfectly aware. Time does not quite exist where you are, for time is unique and peculiar experience that is very much linked to matter or to the body. You abide in a timeless state. This is a nice little paragraph. So he's kind of taking us back, uh, meaning like a higher elevation view. You know, we got into the details of why we incarnate in a body. And he's like, but just remember, you are soul. There's nothing, there's not God and you. There's not God, and then God created some, because again, God's not a person. There's not life, and then life creates an individuated aspect of itself, but somehow that thing is not the same. It's not part of it. It's outside the whole. That's the tiny mad idea. So you are both. You are and God and soul. You are having a relational experience, subject-object. You are relating to different things, and you are also perfectly aware. Now, right now, we don't have that perfect awareness of all. We can't communicate with all dimensions. We can, but we don't think we can. And we're not having many of us are not having that experience on the regular. We can have those moments, whether it's through, again, the spiritual experiences. It could be in prayer, it could be in sex, it could be in nature, it could be in breath work, it could be in psychedelics, it could be in the runners high when you're running. There's no limit to the number of vehicles that expanded awareness can come. It could be through uh a near-death experience. But he's saying you are both. You're having the individual relational experience, and you are also, in this context, perfectly aware of all that is. Time does not yet exist. You haven't incarnated yet, is what he's saying. You're checking out the conditions that you're ready to jump in for your lesson, but time does not exist where you are. Time is a unique and peculiar experience that's very much linked to matter or to the body. You abide in a timeless state. That is your reality. He says, as you look upon the conditions, you are also aware of your connection with souls that you have known before that are currently incarnated upon the physical plane. You are aware of, you can sense the quality of a resonance of their consciousness with yours. That is, with the lessons you are longing to learn. Translation, soul groups, soul families. You're with a bunch of friends in spirit, uh, and you're like, hey, let's go down to earth, let's go down, and you're not really going down anywhere, but like, let's incarnate in a physical body, have this human experience, and I want to learn forgiveness. Oh, I want to learn that too. I want to learn compassion, I want to learn courage, I want to learn kindness, whatever you want to learn. I want to learn abundance. Oh, me too, me too. I want to incarnate in this time with these parents in this culture, me too, me too. Let's go. It's gonna be fun. That's it's it's that's it. It's that simple. And he says, a decision is made in the mind, not forced upon you whatsoever. In fact, we will share with you that the decision to incarnate need not have ever been made. In italics, the word ever. The decision to incarnate need not have ever been made. That is, you are not compelled by some force outside of yourself to come into this dimension. Does that mean that you made a mistake? Not at all. There can be no mistakes in all of creation. I love this. Again, this is, in my opinion, the most empowering spiritual teaching I've ever come across. A decision has been made in the mind. Whose mind? Your mind, it's God's mind, but it's also your mind. Right? You made a decision. It was not forced upon you. Nothing can be forced upon you because you are a sovereign individual aspect of the one. You are the one. So you are not at the mercy of anything. Many spiritual teachers will teach that earth is a prison. Like, there's so much nonsense out there. Earth is a prison. You, you know, you don't have any choice to come here. That's not what Jeshua is saying. I'm going with Jeshua. I'm going with Jesus, Sananda. That's who I'm going with. And he's like, Yeah, you decided. Now, the uh Course in Miracles calls it the veil of forgetfulness, that when you incarnate in from spirit into the physical realm, you move through a veil of forgetfulness, that you forgot who you really are. Now, part of the game, maybe you just think about it. If you're unlimited, if you are everything that the wave mastery is saying that you are, wouldn't it be fun to be like, oh my gosh, let me go into a body, let me forget who I really am and have this really limited experience. Let me forget who I am and actually struggle with abundance and money and supply and think that I need to get and other people can take from me. And then I get to wake up and remember who I am while I'm still in a body. Or maybe not. Maybe I just want to have that experience, just like playing a video game. If it, if, if, if it's so easy all the time it gets boring, let me have an adventure, let me go into a lifetime where it's a struggle the whole time, where I have to get creative about how to find my resources, or I'm not gonna be a victim to the economy or my race or whatever narratives are out there. I'm going to come down, create limitation for myself intentionally for the joy of creativity. Limitation fosters creativity. When you don't have enough money, let's say you're going on, okay, a perfect example. My son is studying in Dublin right now. He's planning on taking a two-month trip with one of his friends after he's done with his internship. So, like June, July, or May or June or whatever, two months around Europe. They don't have unlimited funds. So they have to get creative about where they're gonna stay. They have to get creative with their budget, what foods they're gonna eat, how they're planning out their trip. If you have unlimited funds, you can you don't have to get as creative. You can just do and go wherever you want. So limitation evokes, inspires creative, creative thinking, creative being. So now go back to you as a soul. Oh my goodness, could it be any more if you're an eternal soul where time does not exist, you are an infinitely powerful creator, meaning you can just create and have whatever you want. We're not talking about like food and air and survival mode. No, it's just like you're, for example, you're God. Wouldn't that get boring after a while? Or maybe it wouldn't get boring, but you're like, hey, let me have a little fun and create a little imitation to see what that's like, to have that experience. That's what we're doing here. But you made the decision, it was not forced upon you by anything or anyone. And he says, in fact, we'll share with you that the decision to incarnate need not have ever been made. You didn't have to come here. You didn't have to have this experience. Can you just even pretend, entertain the idea? Let's just pretend what he's saying is true. Oh, so all these things we complain about in our life, all the things we try and fix, all the things we don't like about ourself, our life, our past, what if on some level we chose them? We knew that we could use them to expand, to awaken, to have fun with, have fun with cancer, have fun with poverty, have fun with divorce. On a soul level, I would say yes. It's how we grow, it's how we expand. The soul is not threatened by anything. So what's a little cancer, what's a little divorce, what's a little, you know, premature death, what's a little whatever that human experience we have? It doesn't mean anything to the soul. So the soul's like bringing on, just like when you play a video game, if your character gets injured, you don't get injured, but your character does. It's the same thing. We have to start seeing ourselves as these avatars in a way, as soul avatars. And we chose this specific incarnation. Your parents, the socioeconomic status, the state of the world, the time of the world, your race, your gender, the whole thing. You chose it all to choose your own adventure, but then you forgot you did, and then you get to have the adventure, because it wouldn't be any, it wouldn't be as much fun if you knew everything, right? It wouldn't be fun if the moment you were born, you knew exactly how your life would turn out. Every single moment. Okay, here it is. I'm about to meet my soulmate. There's no magic, there's no surprise, there's no, you know, there's no surprise. It's like, oh, here it is. Okay, now I know in six months I'm gonna get married. I know in four years that, you know, my mother is gonna die. I know in eight years I'm gonna get that big job promotion. Like, is that fun if you already know how the whole thing's gonna work out? My uh I would say no. As much as we want to know, it's our ego that wants to know. We don't want to know. It's fun to forget and to live in the mystery and be like, oh my gosh, look at how that's working out. Can you start to see your life this way? It's never been forced on you ever. There's nothing outside of you that can make you do or feel anything ever. Now it feels that way. Let's just, again, I gotta always acknowledge it because this is how my brain works. From a human perspective, it does feel like that. Let's just be honest. It does. That when we're identifying as the human limited self. When we sit in meditation, when we have these experiences, when we do revelation breath work, when we pray, when we meditate, when we in nature, when we dance, when we lose ourself, our sense of small as self, when we lose our own identity, thank God for that, when those moments happen. We remember who we are. We're not afraid. And we're in awe. We are in awe of the magic, the mystery, the holiness of it all. There can be no mistakes in all of creation, Jeshua says. He just needs to remind us of this, and we need to remind ourselves of this over and over and over again. Your daily life is your ashram, it is your school. You don't need to get out of it. You are actually being invited into it, into the pain, into the discomfort, into the diagnosis, into the challenge and the hardship. Right? It's just like, for example, the crucifixion. Jeshua went into it. He didn't hide from it, he didn't run from it, he didn't deny it, he welcomed it. Can I find God? Can I find love even more deeper here? This is what we are, this is a totally radical way of seeing your life from the world perspective. And honestly, from a lot of traditional religion, at least Judeo-Christian. There's no force outside of you making you do things. Your life is exactly as you want it to be. Maybe not your ego-human self, but your soul self. So can you have a little humility and like allow that and and give deference to your soul self? There's there's a part of your greater intelligence that is running the show, and you're safe and you're okay, and everything that quote unquote happens to you is actually part of the design. Like, how would your life change if you were like, my I want this? I'm excited for this, I'm going to use this. Many of the things that we complain about or we're trying to fix or change or that we don't like would have a totally different meaning. That's the invitation. It's an invitation. You don't have to accept it. You can take as long as you want. At some point, like Jeshua says, like, all curriculums are the same in that they lead to the same place, but there's a million different curriculums, but they all lead to the same place, which is you waking up and remembering who you already are, who you've always been, who you You couldn't be anything but what you are. This is the good news. And this is, again, it's a reminder. We need this, I need this reminder every single day. That's why studying this and teaching it and coaching on it and journaling on it every day and seeing my life from it, this context, and I've been doing this since I was introduced to this way of thinking back in 2005. So 21 years now, on the daily, it's a path of mastery. I'm not there, but it's how I see myself. It's how I see the world. It's it's how I see others when they're struggling. Oh, your soul is having this is the learning point here. It's nothing to be afraid of, it's nothing to get out of. Let's go into it. It's the work I do as a coach, as a guide. If you want that kind of support, it's available. I have a few spots in my personal coaching that is open. It's not for the faint of heart. It is very compassionate and loving, and you'll meet all your limiting beliefs. You'll have a different context for life. And it's very much of like, what do you want in the world? That's what we start because our ego always starts with that. What do you want? What do you want to create? What experience are you wanting to have? And let's do that. Let's raise awareness on all the levels: physical, mental, emotional, subconscious, spiritual through this context of the way of mastery. It's my favorite thing to do in the world. It will change your life 100%. A year of this coaching will change your entire life. So if that calls to you, it's not a small investment. I'll just be honest, too. It's not a small investment. For many people, it's the biggest investment they've made in themselves and their life. And it changes their entire life. It changes the entire trajectory of their life. Because what's possible for you today with your current level of consciousness, that's the track you're on. As you expand your consciousness, it's like compound interest. Your whole life changes forever. The whole trajectory of your life changes forever. Now that's not that doesn't make it better or worse. You don't have to do that. For me, it's been a calling. It's something that's, ooh, I'm a calling. But it doesn't have to happen. Like Jeshua's saying, nothing needs to be done. You need to do nothing. Anyways, love you. This is a great day. Why? Because it's today. Have an amazing day. If you get value from the podcast, please like, subscribe, share it with someone you care about.
