[009] The Stillness You Keep Missing

What if the guidance you keep searching for has been quietly present all along?

In this episode of The Noah Frequency, Noah turns the focus toward stillness — not as an abstract spiritual goal, but as the living center that has accompanied us since birth. He suggests that what most people call enlightenment is not reaching somewhere new, but learning to trust the silence that has always been within them.

Through questions from Stephen and listeners, the conversation explores intuition, breath, fear, identity, and the challenge of staying open when the mind wants certainty. Noah also speaks at length about how essence sees suffering, why human judgment belongs to identity, and how parallel incarnations may be affecting one another in ways we rarely understand.

Topics explored in this episode include:

• Why stillness is the doorway to remembrance
 • How breath helps soften the human identity
 • Why doubt may really be fear of your own essence
 • How to support someone whose reality seems radically different from yours
 • Why essence does not judge the way identity does
 • How parallel incarnations may share emotion, resistance, and growth

At the center of this episode is a demanding but clarifying idea: the peace you are seeking is not elsewhere. It is already here — beneath the thought, beneath the fear, beneath the noise.

Transcript

SPEAKER_04 0:10

A live show where a channeled consciousness named up speaks through transmedium 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_02 0:42

Greetings to you, my dear one. Beyond his house, my dear.

SPEAKER_04 0:50

Thank you.

SPEAKER_02 0:53

Greetings to all who have joined or listened. Our humble gratitude to each of you as well. So many view this communion, other modalities as well as a phenomenon. So many are further away from their truth, and so many fail to remember their developmental years within an incarnation. Fail to recall that each one who are experiencing human experience possess the ability for these communions to occur with essence. Whereas your condition mind is drastically altered, and your identity is falled, it becomes increasingly difficult to truly remember. And yet you are constantly offered reminders. Yet you fail to notice. Allow me to gently guide your memories to any infant you laid your eyes upon the inquisitive look in their eyes the peace that surrounded them the eternal connection to essence. Ask yourselves why at that stage of the human incarnation proves to be so different than where you are now, and yet it is still the same form, the same incarnation, the same reality. It is because the infant, as it's developing, is not consumed with thought. That tranquility resides in that space where there is no thought as one continues to advance within their incarnation as the identity strengthens. Also notice the increase in thought. This is what deters you from remembering who you are. And yet, regardless of how noisy the mind is, how preoccupied the mind is with thought, there is always that stillness. So understand this, my dear ones. No incarnation is possible without the stillness within. It arrives when the incarnation begins, and it departs when it ceases. Each one of you have continuously returned to the stillness, and this unfamiliar territory to this highly developed identity is what causes alarm, is where so many dismiss communion with essence. Enlightenment is not reaching a destination, but the destination has always been present within you, within that stillness. Enlightenment is noticing, embracing, not fearing, trusting and returning to that stillness within.

SPEAKER_04 9:06

I have a question that originates from my identity. I'm admitting that right up front. You mentioned earlier on that we're getting constant reminders of who we really are. Could you give me a few examples of what these reminders look like?

SPEAKER_02 9:26

That your question originates from your identity. It is precision, my dear. For your focus is on your identity. Within this stillness we mentioned, my dear, is also where you receive your intuition. It's that inner knowing. It's that peace that surfaces amidst chaos, turbulence, confusion. Your identity is navigating an existence, an incarnation within an unfamiliar environment. The stillness within is your comfort zone, your safety, your guiding light. It is always leading you through your darkness. Most remain unaware. They fear trusting the unknown. The irony is, my dear, the human experience is the unknown, not your essence, not that stillness. Incarnation, the journey itself is that remembrance. Trust what is within. Recognize what is guiding you. Listen to the silence within a noisy world. And you shall always find your compass that has never left you. No navigator could possibly ever navigate without a compass. Your compass is what was provided before your journey began. So many lose sight of the compass and they struggle within their identity. Is that clear, my dear?

SPEAKER_04 12:20

Yes, that's helpful. Thank you. No, I appreciate that.

SPEAKER_02 12:23

And by you, my dear.

SPEAKER_04 12:25

So we have a couple of raised hands in the gallery. I'm going to call on people if that's okay with you. Indeed, my dear. It's welcomed. Okay. Nadine is the first one with her hand raised. Nadine, would you like to ask your question? Let me just unmute you. Okay, you're ready.

SPEAKER_01 12:49

Noah, thank you so much for being here with us. I've just taken a class with Nico talking about staying in that silence. Do you have any suggestions and recommendations to soften that human identity to stay in the silence?

SPEAKER_02 13:13

We can see you, my dear. View this journey, my dear. As you playing the role of the navigator. Within your satchel, my dear, we possess each tool, each aid required to successfully navigate through your journey. But as you are focusing outward, my dear, to the terrain before you. So your question, my dear, is aimed at what you see before you along your path. Your answers are within the tools. Your breath, my dear, which acts as the interface between your essence and the form, is a vital tool, often misused. Breathe, my dear one. It has proved quite beneficial through your experience. When unknowingly you return to the breath through each difficult moment. Once more, the breath acting as a guiding light to reorient you, to stabilize you. Focus on your breath, my dear. The breath calms the nervous system, which in turn slows the thought process of the mind. One cannot successfully relocate the stillness within without properly utilizing the breath. Also recognize, my dear, each tool complements the other. A tool alone, my dear, will not be as substantial as joining all tools together at once. Locate your tools by not attempting to locate through the identity. Trust, my dear. You are well prepared for your journey. For if you were not, the journey would not have begun.

SPEAKER_01 16:41

Thank you, Noah. And I you, my dear.

SPEAKER_04 16:46

Thank you, Nadine. Karen is up. Let me just unmute you. Okay, I'm ready. We're ready.

SPEAKER_01 16:57

Hi, Noah. I love you. I'm so glad you're here.

SPEAKER_02 17:02

Great to see you, my dear one.

SPEAKER_01 17:05

I would just like um to know what you would like me to know today, please.

SPEAKER_02 17:10

My dear, you already possessed the answer. You are seeking affirmation. You are not trusting your answers. Why do you perceive that is, my dear?

SPEAKER_01 17:26

The doubt.

SPEAKER_02 17:27

The fear, my dear. Notice how you are fearing yourself and you are not aware. This is the power of the identity, my dear. This conditioned mind through your human experience is what your identity perceives as its strength. It is familiar. It is reliable. Even when it fluctuates, my dear, it always returns to the same identity. Doubt, concern, questions originates from the identity fearing. Essence. Understand this, my dear. When one truly returns to their essence, when one remembers who they are, which identifies them? When one recognizes breathstillness, are the essences assisting? When one is continuously connected to his highest essence, is there truly a need for the identity? But you may not recall this. Your identity recognizes it. Hence the need to control, to not relinquish what it perceives defines you. This is precisely why the human incarnation is so vital for the development of one's essence, my dear. Your essence would not have agreed to an incarnation, my dear, if it not did not believe in itself and its ability to return. Soften your identity, and in turn you will soften your fear. You are not being asked, my dear, to void the identity entirely, for you are still traveling upon your journey. You are merely being lovingly asked, my dear, to soften your identity, to make room for your essence to join your journey with you. Is that clear, my dear one?

SPEAKER_01 20:52

Yes, Noah, thank you so much.

SPEAKER_02 20:55

And I you, my dear.

SPEAKER_04 20:57

Thank you, Karen. Next is Karen K. Hi, Karen Karen, I no longer see you on the screen. There you are. I thought you were on the screen and now I don't see you. Karen, are you are you you're unmuted now? K And now I'm asking you to unmute. Karen, are you there? Karen K? I don't know if Karen K is having technical difficulties or if she got shy. Can't tell which. So in the meantime, we'll either take another question or I will just bandy about some ideas with you, Noah. Indeed, my dear. So last time we spoke, I mentioned something about how enlightenment seems to be evading some of our world leaders. And you said something along the lines of well they could be progressing. I just I'm not seeing their progression. I'm I'm I'm paraphrasing.

SPEAKER_02 22:30

You are not alone in that assessment, my dear.

SPEAKER_04 22:36

The reason why I bring it up now is because our president said something very racist, or he he posted something online that was very racist today. And uh I don't understand really which direction he's going in. I thought maybe we just comment on that.

SPEAKER_02 22:54

My dear. Your past leaders through humanity's existence. Have acted as they did, my dear. To create a shift in awareness amongst humanity. When you are perplexed with your current events, pause for a moment and imagine how your ancestors were also confused. Irate, felt unsteady, feared. Notice the pattern, my dear. This does not cease, nor shall it ever. This is how growth occurs, change, shift in perception, heightened awareness. It continues. But also notice, my dear, and ask yourself, why is the focus on them and not on yourself? Notice your response, your irritation, your anger when humanity begins to shift their focus rather than on your world leaders, rather than on your neighbor, and direct it to themselves. They should question why they are reacting as they are. With their remarks, enforcing separation. Causing a crack in the foundation, if you will. Each one views the other differently. That's how you are perceiving them differently. It is the same shared intent. A separation amongst your species. And yet, my dear, each one who has incarnated is essence. It is not merely your leaders, my dear. It is occurring across your entire reality. Intentionally. This unity must occur, my dear. And only occurs for what is being said. Intention. If there was not this unity, there would not be a pause within awareness. Notice you do not agree with the words spoken. And yet you have also judged others. Allow what is occurring, my dear, to remind you of your actions throughout your human existence, in order to recognize each one as essence rather than the specific form they embody within their incarnation. With that said, my dear, are you able to recognize how what is occurring is intentional?

SPEAKER_04 28:04

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 28:13

That is a response of your identity as it is a response of your essence. Recognize the difference. Your identity does not resonate for it is opinionated. It is harmful. It continues with the idea of separation.

SPEAKER_04 28:53

Your essence is not aligned because it recognizes the pain each one endures within an incarnation.

SPEAKER_02 29:07

So you are reacting from compassion of the essence and control of the identity. Are you able to view the difference? Yes. That answers your next question.

SPEAKER_04 29:35

What's my next question?

SPEAKER_02 29:41

Continue with what you were to say, my dear.

SPEAKER_04 29:44

I wanted to say that my complaint is that my world the world leader of America is engaging in separation with his racist philosophies. And I thought that world leaders are we look to our world leaders to take the high road to get us closer to our essences.

SPEAKER_02 30:07

At least I do. And as mentioned, my dear, your reaction is based on your identity's need to control. When one is focusing on another within human incarnation to lead them to their essence. One is allowing their identity to convince them of that which is false. No one is able, my dear, to lead you to your essence. But only US. Arrogance. Controlling weight. Ego has been infected by what you hear. Hence your response. But it is the softness, the emultion, and the love of your essence that is able to receive the insult as though the insult is being directed to. Even as your identity projects them to be different than you. Once more we return to why these events are intentionally occurring at this time. So humanity recognizes themselves in each other. So humanity recognizes the compassion. The pain belongs to essence. The observation, the separation, the judgment belongs to the identity. Is that clear, my dear?

SPEAKER_04 33:36

Yes, thank you, Noah. Thank you. I'd like to return to Karen Kay now, who's I think she's solved her her technical difficulties. And Karen, are you are you with us now? She was on the screen for just a second and then she disappeared again. Let me unmute you.

SPEAKER_00 33:59

Hi. Hi. So you can hear me, but you cannot see me?

SPEAKER_04 34:04

I can't see you right now, but that's okay.

SPEAKER_00 34:06

Okay. Uh I just want to thank you, Noah, for your continued focus on the essence and breath that has been so helpful to me. Thank you. My question to you has to do with how I can support or help, or even if I can support or help, a friend who is uh having difficulty, increasing difficulty living in this world because she is continuously seeing other entities, uh unembodied entities that no one else but her can see. I'm not certain if they exist or not, but I do know that she is decreasing in her ability to live in on this plane in a very practical way. And I don't know how to, when she's talking to me, but encourage her or not to not focus so much on these beings because the more she focuses on them, the less she is. I don't know if she's crazy or she's seeing real things, and I don't know how I can best I guess I have a desire to protect and support her. But maybe that's my foolishness. I do not know how best to relate to her in the most helpful way.

SPEAKER_02 35:53

My dear. View yourself as essence, my dear. And view her as essence. Essence of pure love, compassion, generosity, support, courage. How would your essence support her essence, my dear? Remove the identity and attempt to answer as your essence.

SPEAKER_00 36:30

Well, I just try to be with her and not resist her view of things.

SPEAKER_02 36:38

Wonderful, my dear. You embrace her in love, encouragement, support, and you honor her journey.

SPEAKER_00 36:51

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 36:52

Within this incarnation as it is different from yours.

unknown 36:56

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 36:56

Recognizing, my dear, each journey is crafted independently based on what their highest essence wishes to achieve through the incarnation for its growth.

SPEAKER_00 37:10

And that is what I feel is possibly happening with the direction she's taking. I'm worried for her though that is surrounded by people who you know may end up putting her in an institution out of their fear, you know.

SPEAKER_02 37:30

Now, my dear, allow us to address your concern.

SPEAKER_00 37:34

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 37:35

Which applies to your identity.

SPEAKER_00 37:38

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 37:41

Which is what you may offer to her identity. Knowledge that both your essences already possess, my dear, and really have forgotten through this identity and this journey. Each incarnation, my dear, consists of not only the essence, but the fields which surround the human form, my dear. Essence embracing the form. For essence is not within the form.

SPEAKER_00 38:28

Right.

SPEAKER_02 38:29

View it, my dear, as two spheres around the form. The first sphere, my dear, is the consciousness field. This is where all collaboration, all connection, all remembrance to essence takes place. The outer field, my dear, is what those in your realm refer to as the orbit field, my dear. This outer field is where essence engages to the field. And once, my dear, the incarnation has come to an end. The essence, as well as the inner field, the consciousness field, returns. The outer field remains in your world, my dear. As essence utilizes this outer field, it continues to do so into your reality. What she is viewing, my dear, as projections. In order for one to visually encounter a form, a physical form must be present. View it as a projection, a hologram, if you will. It is also within this field that orbs and apparitions are seen, experienced through those in your realm. What is vital, my dear, to remember and to truly accept, and to assist her to also accept, is that each essence which approaches this outer field, which transmits projections, is equal to your essence, pure, unconditional love. There is no evil, my dear. It is the human identity's perception of this foreign projection they are experiencing. It is the conditioned mind, my dear. It is the enforced teachings which hold the truth of the religious institutions that create fear of evil. What is experiencing on her journey, my dear? Yes, her remembers of access of this interchangeable field of essence. But her resistance is her fear. She is uncertain, and those she holds me even dear. I'm insisting it is evil. Hence a greater fear she is experiencing rather than allowing the mind to instill fear. Gently ask her, my dear, to feel what she has experienced within. She will notice the mind is increasingly panicking, worry, fear, uncertainty. But within her, she will sense tranquility, alignment, a greater presence near bracing her, love. Ask her to trust that which the mind is not creating, and she will notice ease surfacing, and she will accept. And as time progresses in your realm, my dear, this very one will mentor many through her experience and how she was able to overcome fear in order for them to overcome their fear. Nothing is random, my dear. All is intentional. Is that clear, my dear?

SPEAKER_00 43:56

I will listen to this again. For reposting these, Stephen. Um, there's much that you said, and I I tend to interpret it according to my preconceived notions, so I am forcing myself constantly to stay open to what you're saying without trying to understand it in the ways that I do.

SPEAKER_02 44:19

My dear. Simply allow her to also listen. Notice, my dear. You will receive it differently than she will.

SPEAKER_00 44:34

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 44:36

So welcome her to listen to our words as well, my dear. Thank you. So they they are delivered through love.

SPEAKER_00 44:45

Yes, they are. Mine and yours, thank you.

SPEAKER_02 44:50

And by you, my dear.

SPEAKER_04 44:53

Thank you, Noah. Thank you, Karen. Noah, you mentioned that uh perceiving something as evil is really just a human identity product.

SPEAKER_02 45:04

Perceiving essence as evil, my dear.

SPEAKER_04 45:08

Seeing essence as evil. Okay. I I think that I think that makes my my next my my question answered. I was just thinking, how does spirit regard someone in human form who's committing rapes and murders against children?

SPEAKER_02 45:31

My dear, you are asking how your own essence perceives them.

SPEAKER_04 45:36

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 45:39

Your essence does not perceive them as your identity does.

SPEAKER_04 45:44

Does that mean my essence does not have a problem with it?

SPEAKER_02 45:47

My dear. Essence does not recognize identity, my dear.

SPEAKER_04 45:58

But essence is love, is it not?

SPEAKER_02 46:01

All essence is love, my dear.

SPEAKER_04 46:04

So essence would not notice, my dear one.

SPEAKER_02 46:08

In order for a pure essence of unconditional love to evolve, it must also experience human incarnation, which is not perceived as love, which is perceived as hurtful, intentional. Notice, my dear. Notice these words, for this is where you fail to remember. An essence does not experience one singular incarnation. Through the many it inhabits, my dear. Not all are of love. The more an essence experience is an incarnation, which is further from love, the more it values love. The more pain is experienced, the more wisdom born of the pain. This is why there are many covenants, my dear. For you are viewing through one lens. You are not remembering that the victims of the victimizers read to play the role of victim. You view it as a weakness, but that victim experiences a plethora of emotions it otherwise would not have ever learned, and that assists that essence to evolve.

SPEAKER_04 48:03

So the most evolved essences are both culprit and victim at some point.

SPEAKER_02 48:10

Indeed, my dear. And also, my dear, you have portrayed both. You really do not remember. For even the victimizer, my dear, experiences pain. Your identity does not register the pain, but the essence does. And that pain is vital to be lived and experienced for recognition and growth. Understand. This is the difference how your essence views and how your identity views.

SPEAKER_04 49:12

I'm trying to get them on the same page.

SPEAKER_02 49:17

This is why a journey, my dear, in your realm relies on linear time. There is no hurry, my dear. If there were, there would not be the concept of time. Is that clear?

SPEAKER_04 49:43

Yes, it is. I'm sure we have some people who have some questions they're not asking right now, but they're probably thinking about their question. I'm wondering if either Reish or Randy or Kathy or Sharice has a question right now. I'm just I can I'm feeling that you're shy right now, but don't be, because we have at least five or even maybe ten more minutes to go. Does anybody have a question they'd like to ask Noah while he's available?

SPEAKER_02 50:23

Perhaps a topic one seeks more clarity on, my dear.

SPEAKER_04 50:29

That's a good idea. Could you feel what could be a common interest right now amongst the group, Noah?

SPEAKER_02 50:41

Parallel existences.

SPEAKER_04 50:45

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 50:46

Notice, my dear, even you are uncertain that your essence is experiencing a parallel incarnation simultaneously as you recognize this incarnation.

SPEAKER_04 51:01

Why don't you think I know that?

SPEAKER_02 51:04

It is not a matter of being informed, it is a matter of accepting it as truth and allowing that truth to alter the perception of this one incarnation, my dear. This is what many fail to recognize. If each parallel incarnation is the same essence, my dear, each experience is shared unknownly to the identity. Your resistance does not merely pertain to this one incarnation you're privy on. The resistance seems more dense in light of at other times. It is not because you are aware, it is because it is being shared, infiltrated, if you will, across consciousness to assist other parallel realities with what they are experiencing.

SPEAKER_03 52:26

Love, fear.

SPEAKER_02 52:33

Each emotion, each experience is not meant for one singular line, my dear. So many are struggling to remember their own essence. They are attempting to achieve a higher plateau. They view it as a hierarchy, runs of a ladder to climb. And yet their own essence is continually overlapping consciousness. This is where the most profound growth occurs from within. Notice how many experience visions, memories within the dream state. They do not recognize those within the scenes, nor the environment, but they possess an uncanny deep knowing that they are present within that scene. This is cross-consciousness overlap, my dear. Intentional to remember you are more than one incarnation. And yet this is a topic. How you react to that is also rippling across this consciousness field to each incarnation, my dear. So your anger is being felt by many unknowingly to their identity. The true growth, my dear, which is also why we continuously mention returning and remembering one's identity, and projecting the loving essence of that identity, of that essence through your identity. An evolution of essence. Because when one singular line of incarnation remembers essence and allows their identity to act according to their essence. They speak of love. Their intention is of love, their response is of love. It is not merely the fact that they are, assisting those in their reality to view their own love, but their action as essence reverberates to the shared consciousness field and assists each and every incarnation to ascend to their enlightenment, to remember their own essence and to act accordingly. On each line of incarnations, project their essence outward into their reality. Ascension any essence can experience. So with those words to not only fill each of your hearts, but to lift your acceptance of your own essence. Do not retreat to your identity's defense to what is occurring in your reality. Allow what is occurring to soften the identity, even as it wishes to respond, soften your identity, and move toward remembering your essence. Allow your identity to absorb and mirror your essence rather than what your reality has created as essence, as identity.

SPEAKER_04 58:37

Yes, thank you, Noah. And you, my dear. Well, we've been tossing our time for today. Thank you so much for enlightening us today. Uh very much appreciate it, and I'm going to let everyone unmute themselves if they would like to say salon to you. Right now, everybody has that option of unmuting. And we'll invite Nico back into the space.

SPEAKER_00 59:13

Thank you, Noah. Thank you.
