What if your confusion is not a sign that you’re lost — but a sign that something deeper is trying to return?

In this episode of The Noah Frequency, Noah explores one of the show’s central themes from several different angles: intuition, free will, remembrance, and the limits of the human mind. He explains why so much of what we call confusion is really the intellect trying to grasp what essence already knows.

Through questions from Stephen and listeners, the conversation moves from world events and pre-birth planning to intuition, memory, and the challenge of trusting what arises before the mind starts analyzing it. A remarkable live moment unfolds when a caller asks for help locating a lost ring — turning the episode into a real-time lesson in intuition, trust, and receiving rather than reaching.

The episode closes on a deeply personal note, as a message comes through for Stephen from his mother — one centered on self-love, gratitude, fatherhood, and the difference between loving with expectations and loving purely.

Topics in this episode include:

• The relationship between pre-birth plans and free will
 • Why intuition becomes distorted when the mind overreaches
 • The difference between remembrance and intellectual understanding
 • How to receive guidance without forcing it
 • A live exercise in intuitive perception around a lost object
 • A moving closing message about self-worth, gratitude, and love without condition

At the heart of this episode is a quiet but powerful reminder: what you seek may already be within you — not gone, just forgotten.

SPEAKER_02

A live show where a channeled consciousness named O speaks through trans medium Nico Kapuzos. Fielding questions about life's mysteries and about you. What follows is not an interview, but rather a QA with the spirit world. I'm your host, Stephen Berkeley. Greetings, Noah. It's wonderful to have you with us today.

SPEAKER_03

Greetings to you, my dear one. The honor is ours, my dear. We offer you our gratitude for providing us this opportunity, my dear. And greetings to all who have joined, gathered, and are listening. We are truly humbled and grateful for your presence as well, my dear ones. So many who listen, who engage with questions, who discern guidance, continue to view us as beings from elsewhere, a higher realm, hierarchy. Place more importance on us than on yourselves. Allow us once more, my dear ones, to assure you. We reside in the same capacity of consciousness. You are not further nor distant due to your incarnation. For even this incarnation, my dear ones, is transient. Your essence is eternal. So view us as equals. Engage with us as equals. Offer your questions as equals. For as you sense the love in your heart, this is our connection, entwined in pure unconditional love, which is also eternal, my dear ones. Is there a topic you are seeking clarity on at this time?

SPEAKER_02

Me personally, or are you talking to everyone?

SPEAKER_03

Question is directed to you, my dear.

SPEAKER_02

Well, there are some things in my mind, mostly the state of the world and the expected perhaps wars brewing. I'm curious if uh I know you don't like to make predictions, Noah, but is there a suggestion you might make in terms of how to be peaceful and mindful during times of uh strife?

SPEAKER_03

To receive clarity with that question, my dear. It is not to view the future events, but to reflect on the history of humanity. Nothing is occurring in your today which has not occurred throughout your history. Worry, upheaval, wars, conflicts or met resolution after. Why should your today be any different, my dear? Your focus is on the unknown, as has humanity's focus always been on the unknown. Gently remind yourselves that no occurrence is random. Everything which occurs is intentional. You may not understand why as it is transpiring, but in hindsight there is always clarity, my dear. Trust your past will mirror your future. Trust humanity. And trust intentionality.

SPEAKER_02

It is, but you you brought up a point that made me think of something that's made me curious. We have free will, and yet we also have these contracts before we're born. How much free will do we really have if there's always voices putting thoughts in our heads?

SPEAKER_03

First, my dear, it is pertinent to recognize where these voices are originating. You speak of voices. Vaguely, my dear.

SPEAKER_02

Spirit voices.

SPEAKER_03

Focus even more. Rather than many spirit voices, my dear.

SPEAKER_02

My mother, my father, my friends.

SPEAKER_03

It is your highest. It is your highest essence, my dear. It is you. Hence your ability to feel emotion. Your essence, my dear, hence your ability to discern the guidance to intuition. There is no need to search further than within your own essence. Is that clear, my dear?

SPEAKER_02

Yes.

SPEAKER_03

Wonderful.

SPEAKER_02

But it sounds like a lot of my life plan was decided before this my incarnation. And if that's true, it feels like my free will is somewhat restricted.

SPEAKER_03

Allow us to decipher this statement, my dear. Your life's plan, your perception of this life's journey was created through your human identity, my dear. Not of your essence. You speak of free will, so freely, but understand what that entails. You mentioned receiving the guidance through intuition. You already offered the guidance through your own essence, your highest essence. And this is continuity for it does not cease. It is always available to you. Your perception of free will is enforce with what you do with the intuition you receive. Even if it goes against the human identity's condition mind, your thought process your illusion of a life you've crafted through said human identity. This is free will, my dear. This is why one incarnates. Recognize the guidance, intuition. The profound intelligence of one's highest essence, my dear, cannot evolve without living, experiencing a human incarnation with forgetfulness intact. An essence of pure love would never be able to comprehend, perceive pain, heartache, and loss if not for experiencing the human incarnation. As the one experiencing the incarnation, it is many times difficult to equate yourself with a higher intelligence, a highest essence, for it offers a threat, if you will, to the defined human identity. This is because in your realm, my dear, there is continued teachings of separation. Part of the condition mind, religious beliefs, education, all convincing that separation is a reality. Therefore, one perceives their highest essence as separate then. Just as mentioned earlier, each of you view this transmission and us as separate then. But when one recognizes the unity, when one recalls that they are their highest essence, they recognize also why they receive direct guidance through insight. Because it is for this direct guidance that one recalls their true path, which was intended to be lived, achieved, and experienced through this incarnation. Is that clear, my dear?

SPEAKER_02

Yes, it is. Thank you.

SPEAKER_03

And thank you, my dear.

SPEAKER_02

It looks like Randy has a question for you, Noah.

SPEAKER_00

Hi, uh thank you so much for this discussion. It's actually making me have another question about um intuition and the voice that you were in in the head. And um you mentioned last time, Noah, that um I don't know, it was specific to me of my intuition being so transparent. And I was wondering how to make it more apparent.

SPEAKER_03

Like what greetings to you, my dear. Notice who is asking that question, my dear.

SPEAKER_00

The human identity.

SPEAKER_03

Indeed. This is the one that desires, that wants, that needs for clarification, my dear. Notice what you are asking. How do you reveal that which you already possess? And why is that pertinent, my dear? If you are already receiving, if you are already attuned to it, my dear, the question does not rely on what you are intended to do with it. It's how you are integrating through remembrance of one's essence. Notice, my dear, you are well aware of the identity, and you are beginning to remember your essence. This is why one notices intuition clearer. One pauses to receive it fully and in turn receives clarity. But when one pauses to decipher, to intellectualize, now I ask you, my dear, is clarity truly being received at the highest level?

SPEAKER_07

I don't know.

SPEAKER_03

Integration, my dear, constitutes allowing clarity to unfold naturally, not by questioning. For as the intellect of the identity questions and defeats the clarities unfold. When one is attuned to the intuition, when one recognizes it is direct guidance from its own highest essence, that intuition turns into clarity, which then turns into remembrance. All occurs prior to the human intellect interfering, assessing, intellectualizing. Recognize how the mind works, my dear. It labels, it is continuously labeling. It reaches into the depth of the subconscious. The moments, experiences, words have all been stored throughout one's journey. Even when insight is received, my dear, the mind hastily turns to the subconscious. As it does not correlate the current thought processes, beliefs. It requires something to register, to adapt, to identify, to create meaning. This is that same mind, my dear, which catches a glimpse of the intuition, unaware of its origin, begins to rationalize, hence confusion. When you sit in your silence my day, you notice the clarity with receiving that insight. Then you also notice how your mind begins to attempt to integrate it in its own way. Continue to sit in your silence, my dear. Receive the insight and focus on what you feel rather than what you think. And that will make the greatest difference. This is knowing, my dear. And this is return to remembrance.

SPEAKER_00

The last part was very clear to me, thank you.

SPEAKER_03

The last part.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, that I was listening initially, I think, through my human identity, so I wasn't quite, I was trying to understand as opposed to feeling into the understanding. Um I think what is clear is when I'm quiet to listen and notice how I feel and not allow the mind to get involved. That's my that's my takeaway from this.

SPEAKER_03

Also recognize it is pertinent that your mind does react as it does. You are seeking a specific answer. And by doing so, you are not honoring the quest, the actual journey itself, my dear. Your mind is reacting as it is in order for you to experience the reaction of the mind. This is where at times you sense you are captive, if you will, within your own mind. This is quite intentional, my dear. For how else will you be able to assist others to free themselves of the constraints of their own powerful mind if you do not experience it yourself? Is that clear, my dear?

SPEAKER_00

Yes, thank you.

SPEAKER_03

And I do, my dear. Recognize this too, my dear. You are still quite unaware of your purpose and what you shall fulfill. So do not only focus on what you are remembering through insight, but also focus what is occurring within the identity. For both will be required to not only be fully experienced, but fully understood in order for you to fulfill your true purpose as essence.

SPEAKER_01

Thank you.

SPEAKER_02

Thank you, Randy. No, I'm reading a book right now that suggests that all of us chose to live this particular life in this particular time. And I think the author said something about how we had this opportunity to live as a human, as a particular life form. And that was pretty much the biggest part of it was just having the experience of living as a human. Is it that, or isn't it more nuanced than that?

SPEAKER_03

The existence, my dear, of the essence is much more complex than any manuscript created in your realm thus far. Understand this, my dear. The perception of your species is viewed from the lens of your reality. Throughout your history, even the explanation and usage of the word soul is incomplete, for when one, either indirectly or knownly, reconnects with its own highest essence, even the portion of their essence which is known in your realm as the over soul. The language permitted in your times attaches soul to that. Their perception is that it is the creator. So hence Madia, teachings, manuscripts, beliefs are quite limited and have been. For they only reach one aspect of the architecture of origin. And yet there is much more above that, my dear, which is only now beginning to enter human consciousness. It is not that any teaching is incorrect and is merely incomplete, as also was intentional throughout your history. But this is an age, my dear, where there is advanced consciousness occurring. And through this expansion, the true teachings, the continuation of that architecture will come to fruition within your realm. This is how valuable change occurs, my dear, for your perceived future of a species. Is that clear, my dear?

SPEAKER_02

Yes. Kind of. Well, the whole thing's a little bit fuzzy to me. I appreciate what you're saying, and I think I'll just have to listen to the replay before I can completely embrace it.

SPEAKER_03

Recognize why you respond as such, my dear. You are attempting to intellectualize these words through your identity. As one continues to do so, there will always be confusion. For that same identity, though powerful intellect indeed, is also limited if it is created through the limited teachings of your realm. Allow me to remind you, my dear, your perception that this dialogue is new to you is incorrect. Your essence recognizes its entire architecture of heart. That remembrance is beginning to slowly sleep, seep into your conscious mind to your human consciousness field. And this is why it is confusing to the identity. Confusion does not equate idea to something that is not true. Is that clear?

SPEAKER_02

That's very clear, yes. Wonderful. Karen has a question for you, Noah. Karen, go ahead. Indeed.

SPEAKER_03

Meetings my dear.

SPEAKER_06

So I keep resonating with your opening statement, encouraging us to speak as equals.

SPEAKER_03

Indeed. We welcome it my dear.

SPEAKER_06

Good. Because I'm feeling a bit impertinent to do so. Um I'm in such a state, and maybe it's age appropriate, of just not knowing, of recognizing that I know shit. And I'm listening to you sounding like you know everything. And so my question.

SPEAKER_03

Before your question, my dear, this distinction, this difference is only because, my dear, you are attempting to remember to have a human identity, and we do not possess a human identity. It does not mean, my dear, you do not know the answers as an essence. Is that clear?

SPEAKER_06

I'm taking it in. It's because it's such a challenge to what I you're you're making me like. I'm amused at my own being stopped in my thoughts.

SPEAKER_03

Notice why that is occurring, my dear. What are you sensing, my dear, feeling as these sort of thoughts cease?

SPEAKER_06

Well, it'll not sensing fam.

SPEAKER_03

We're not sensing familiarity, my dear.

SPEAKER_06

That's quite relaxing.

SPEAKER_03

The serenity, the familiarity, the love, the unity, all which you are currently experiencing, my dear. This is your essence.

SPEAKER_06

Hello. Well, in the first time that I joined one of these sessions a month or so ago, uh, ever since then. I don't know who is saying hello. Um a month ago I joined these sessions and you said remember your essence, a phrase you often use. And so I've put it in my daily calendar at nine o'clock every morning to remind myself, to remember my essence. And I don't know why I'm saying this right now, but because right now you're reminding me of my essence, I guess. Thank you.

SPEAKER_03

My dear. Daily, my dear, is you are attempting to remember your essence. Simply focus on your birth. Your birth is your essence, my dear. Soften the identity, soften the conscious mind, and focus on what you are experiencing, my dear, similar to what you experience today. This is how one remembers. And as you continue this practice, my dear, it will become much easier for you to differentiate the identities, thought processes, and the natural ability to sense essence. But the human intellect, my dear, cannot create sensations nor emotion. That is your essence. Is that clear, my dear one?

SPEAKER_06

Yes, yes. It's always clear if I just shut my mind off. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

It is not a matter of negating. It is simply, my dear, softening.

SPEAKER_06

Thank you for that.

SPEAKER_03

I cannot silence the mind.

SPEAKER_06

Right.

SPEAKER_03

But it is integral, my dear. It is part of your journey. You had a question, my dear.

SPEAKER_06

In your state, do you ever wonder? Are you ever confused? Do you ever or I mean, if you're talking to a teacher, they're telling you what they know, but I'm wondering in your state, do you, when you're not teaching, do you, do you wonder? Are you confused? Do you know everything?

SPEAKER_03

My dear. Parallel with our words earlier.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

You're asking from the identity of this incarnation. But as mentioned earlier, my dear, the architecture of essence continues upward, forward, onward. To the infinite field of consciousness, my dear. This too is where your core essence resides. We are the same. We are within the same field. We are of consciousness. You are experiencing an incarnation with limited remembrance. But that which you are asking us, my dear, pertains to you as well. The difference between our essence is that yours is experiencing incarnations. Well, what you fail to recall, my dear, is that all essence in this field are learning to your incarnation as well. There is much honor bestowed upon you, my dear. Even if you do not honor yourself, there is much respect as well. Even if through your human confusion you are enabled to respect yourself fully. But your essence, my dear, instantaneously receives the gratitude. So we all learn. Is that clear, my dear?

SPEAKER_06

It's a beautiful concept. Thank you.

SPEAKER_02

Thank you, Karen. We have our first caller, Noah. Carolyn, can you hear me? Wonderful. Yes.

unknown

Great.

SPEAKER_02

Noah can. Can you hear me? I can hear you. Noah, can you hear Carolyn? Greetings to you, my dear. Carolyn? Yes. Okay, Noah can hear you. Go ahead. Your question.

SPEAKER_07

Okay, this is a different kind of question than where has been asked. I can't get on. You've locked the uh zoom.

SPEAKER_02

Yes.

SPEAKER_07

And I'm I had to be late today. Um, my question is there is a multi-stone diamond ring in a ring box lost somewhere in that the house that I live in. Can Noah locate it?

SPEAKER_03

My dear. Allow me to assist you. Close your eyes, my dear. Breathe, my dear.

SPEAKER_07

And allow the barely hearing, so you'll have to interpret.

SPEAKER_02

Noah's saying that you need to breathe and close your eyes and allow your thoughts, my dear, to drift as the clouds.

SPEAKER_03

Do not attempt. Do not set expectations. Really soften the mind. Focus on your breath, my dear. And be patient. Remain patient, my dear. And allow that first thought, that first visual to enter into your conscious mind. Do not question it, my dear. Merely observe and receive.

SPEAKER_05

And be patient, my dear.

SPEAKER_02

Carolyn, Carolyn, were you able to hear Noah just now?

SPEAKER_07

He was telling me to focus on my breath and calm and be patient. And uh and let uh a visual appear in my conscious mind.

SPEAKER_02

That sounds right.

SPEAKER_03

Do not focus on the thoughts, my dear. Merely be the observer. Do not analyze, do not think. Merely feel as the observer. And that visual shall transpire. Do not project it, my dear. Remain patient for it to arrive. You are struggling, it is because you are thinking, you are reaching, you are overcomplicating that which is to come. And if not, now my dear, then it shall arise as you continue to soften the mind with practice. Did you receive the visual wind here? Do you recognize in which room of the home it is?

SPEAKER_02

You there, Carolyn?

SPEAKER_07

Yes. Um he he asked if I know what room. I think it's in the bedroom, but I am not positive.

SPEAKER_03

My dear, my dear, you receive the visual of the bedroom. Do not question it, my dear. And how you receive the visual of where precisely do not question it, my dear. Nearly receive it. Do not do not question yourself, my dear. Trust the visual you are receiving, my dear. Allow it to enlarge, to unfold, to come forth. The distortion is because you are not trusting, my dear. Trust thy Yourself.

SPEAKER_05

Trust your essence.

SPEAKER_03

What have you received, my dear? You already received it, my dear. I'm thinking I I uh it is not a matter of you thinking, my dear. It is a matter of thinking.

SPEAKER_07

I'm trying to make a screen for a visual to show on.

SPEAKER_03

Do not attempt, my dear, to do anything. Merely observe and be willing to receive freely. By attempting, you are creating distortion. The image has already been offered to you.

SPEAKER_05

Simply receive it, my dear.

SPEAKER_07

I'm going to request that it come to me in a dream and I'll report on our next meeting.

SPEAKER_02

Indeed, my dear.

SPEAKER_07

What did he say?

SPEAKER_02

He said, indeed, my dear. Okay, Carolyn? We'll wait for you to report back. I'm curious, Noah. Do you have the visual that we were hoping that Carolyn would have?

SPEAKER_03

Indeed, my dear.

SPEAKER_02

Would you be able to give Carolyn a hint, or is it more important for her to have had the exercise of having the visual herself?

SPEAKER_03

Trust herself, my dear. Trust the visuals. Trust your ability to connect. For even this misplacement was intentional. It is not a matter of locating, as it is a matter of trusting. Is that clear, my dear?

SPEAKER_02

Is that clear, my dear?

SPEAKER_07

Didn't that uh uh I only got that it's a matter of trust?

SPEAKER_02

Yes, uh I think so. Hey, if I got a visual, Noah, am I allowed to give Carolyn uh a hint? Indeed, my dear Carolyn, I have no idea this means anything. It's just what I got. I feel like it's in a closet. In like a sewing kit? Do you have a sewing kit in your house? Oh, I'm reaching, sure. But I'm excited.

SPEAKER_03

Open the discussion for the festival, my dear. Okay. Visual delegacy.

SPEAKER_02

That's a great idea. It looks like Randy might have an idea.

SPEAKER_00

I got a sock drawer. I thought it was in a sock drawer. Like something like white socks or something white. In a drawer. That's what I got.

SPEAKER_02

Did you hear that, Caroline?

SPEAKER_07

A white box in a drawer.

SPEAKER_00

No, no, no, no, but like a drawer with socks in it. Like like socks for your feet.

SPEAKER_02

I think the socks were white.

SPEAKER_07

I'll search in both places.

SPEAKER_02

Well, Noah already said I was reaching, so I don't think it's gonna be in the sewing kit in the closet. I think it may have been way off.

SPEAKER_03

My dear. Trust your own intuition.

SPEAKER_07

Remember, my dear. So I tell him what I what's stuck in my mind that I keep thinking. I think it's under a piece of furniture.

SPEAKER_02

This is correct, my dear. Oh, it's correct. Wow, that was good, Carolyn. This is your intuition, my dear. Yes, model top.

SPEAKER_03

This is this is my dear receiving and trusting.

SPEAKER_07

But I won't start searching until you know we're off the call.

SPEAKER_02

That's a great idea. That's very considerate. Thank you, Carolyn. We'll report back. Recall, my dear.

SPEAKER_07

Yes. Assume I'll be able to come next week, and that's when I will report back. Thank you for getting me on the email list again.

SPEAKER_02

And gratitude and love to all of you there. You're welcome. Noah had something to say before you go. Noah, continue, please.

SPEAKER_03

Recall, my dear. When you were sitting on your bed, and you last held it in your hand. And begin from there. And allow that visual to bring forth another visual.

SPEAKER_07

Can you say what he said?

SPEAKER_02

He said, recall when you're sitting on your bed and get a visual and let that visual lead to another visual.

SPEAKER_03

Recall, my dear, when you were last sitting on your bed, holding this object, what you were experiencing, and allow that one memory to unfold yet another visual. And you will locate it, my dear. Trust yourself.

SPEAKER_04

Thank you so much.

SPEAKER_02

And by you, my dear. You're welcome.

SPEAKER_07

Feeling love.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, thank you, Carolyn. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. That was a lot of fun, Noah. So once again, we are at the exactly at the end of the hour. And uh we so I so appreciate this. I think I'm speaking for everyone. I we so appreciate you being here, Noah, and thank you so much. I'm going to let everyone unmute themselves if they want to say anything to you, or just uh yeah. You're any everyone can unmute themselves if they'd like. Um that was fun, Noah.

SPEAKER_03

Our gratitude to each of you once more. Our love extended to each of you to soften this pain within your hearts. Remember my dear ones. As perceive pain is always temporary as is your incarnation. But the love we offer you, in order for you to remember the love for yourselves, there's always a turn. I thank you, my dear one.

SPEAKER_02

Thank you. I'm here.

SPEAKER_03

Notice how things don't always change. Is that you, Mom? You're not always grateful for that, but you have. Notice how it's easier to look for and spot difficulties in the moments of comfort rather than being in awe of those who love you. You are opinionated at times, rather than being grateful for you have accomplished and overcome. At times you still question your ability.

SPEAKER_04

Stevie, this is taking what's been given to you for granted at times.

SPEAKER_03

Honor it all and being grateful. Rather than questioning your abilities, reverse it. Notice your abilities. Notice all you have overcome and all you've achieved. And allow that to lead you to what is to come. Another achievement. Because you do possess integrity, honor, ability, love, and accept her.

SPEAKER_04

Why would you perceive there's anything wrong if it doesn't fit into your mould of what you perceive is right?

SPEAKER_03

Remember your own journey. You did not always fit into other people's perception of what was right. Remember, Stevie. This was your cross to bear. That appears.

SPEAKER_02

You're referring to my daughter.

SPEAKER_03

You knew this conversation was coming, Stevie.

SPEAKER_02

Eventually, yes.

SPEAKER_03

You just didn't know when. Now is when. Remember your strength. Offer it silently. That has more power. And remember your strength.

SPEAKER_05

And you succumb to confusion and question your ability.

SPEAKER_03

I am proud of you because you're proud of yourself.

SPEAKER_04

That's how love is meant to be. You love them when they struggle.

SPEAKER_03

You love them when they succeed. Love does not possess ranges, Stevie. It is pure.

SPEAKER_05

Undifferentiated. Untouched.

SPEAKER_03

Loving purely silently outweighs loving with expectations. That's how you love yourself. That's how you should love yourself.

SPEAKER_04

And that's how you're able to love others the same. Exactly.

SPEAKER_03

You always have my love.

SPEAKER_02

You think I could be I could be a better father?

SPEAKER_03

A better version of you.

SPEAKER_02

By being more grateful.

SPEAKER_03

And more loving to yourself first. More loving to yourself, Stevie, does not equate to you questioning your abilities ever. More grateful to yourself. In turn, allows you to be grateful for everyone and everything around you. Notice the differences. Learn it. That's when change occurs.

SPEAKER_02

Did you know, mom, that every night when I go to bed and every morning when I wake up, I recite something that makes sure the universe knows how grateful I am for everything that's in it.

SPEAKER_03

Understand this, my dear boy. What's in your thought is heard.

SPEAKER_05

It's always heard.

SPEAKER_02

What makes it louder?

SPEAKER_03

Silence, feeling, recognizing why and where it is coming from.

SPEAKER_02

Okay. We'll chat again, I hope. If you're good, Stevie. Okay. Thank you, Mom, for visiting. That was fun.

SPEAKER_03

I love you all.

SPEAKER_02

I love you too.

SPEAKER_05

Gentle.
