In today's episode, my guest is Victoria Reynolds. She comes back to enlighten us about her new book, transcending Fear. You're going to want to stay tuned to hear what she has to share. Welcome to the episode featuring my guest, victoria Reynolds. We welcome her back for a second time on Cosmic Scene with Jill Jardine.

Speaker 1:

If you missed her first podcast, here's a little bit about Victoria. She's a spiritual luminary and oracle of freedom. She is the author of six books, an international speaker and the host of Fearless and Free TV. Victoria was born and raised in a fundamentalist polygamous cult where she experienced spiritual, emotional, mental, physical and sexual trauma. She has learned how to see even the most painful parts of her story through the eyes of love. Victoria shares how she came to love, her backstory and all of life in her newest book, Transcending Fear. It's my honor and pleasure to welcome back Victoria Reynolds. Hi, victoria, welcome back to Cosmic Scene with Jill Jardine. So glad to have you back talking about the latest edition, just launched recently, spring 2023, transcending Fear. Rise Above Fear and Fall in Love with Life.

Speaker 2:

Thank you, jill, I'm so pleased to be here. Thank you for the invitation to be here again, and actually that book launched on July 7th. It launched on 777.

Speaker 1:

Oh, so it is hot off the press? Yes, it is. That's so exciting, and we were talking off mic about how timely the re-release of this book is Shared with our listeners, why releasing a book on Transcending Fear is so important right now.

Speaker 2:

Well, a lot of people are feeling fear right now. A lot of people who are starting to see beyond the mainstream media narrative and can see what's really going on in the world are starting to be afraid of what might be coming because they can see in advance what mainstream media isn't telling them.

Speaker 1:

Right. It's not what we do know. It's what we don't know that's being hidden or glossed over, such as the economy and the recession that we're in.

Speaker 2:

Right. So when I wrote the first edition of Transcending Fear, I wrote it in 2010. Of course, it takes a couple of years for a book to get published, and I wrote it as a result of what I call my midlife transition, my midlife awakening, my midlife rebirths, and I joke around of being my midlife Holy shift Right.

Speaker 1:

Holy shift.

Speaker 2:

And so I wrote it. After the 2008 recession, when I lost everything my business, my husband's business, our cars, both of my kids were diagnosed with learning disorders, my house went into foreclosure and I ended up having to go through bankruptcy, and I was just trying to figure out how to fix my life. And so the first edition of Transcending Fear came to me as a response for facing all the fear I was dealing with in 2008, 2010, during the last recession, and it is a series of messages that came to me from what I call my inner therapist that taught me how to remedy my life and helped me find freedom and fulfillment within the chaos and within all of the fear and the situation I was in at the time. I literally my husband came to me one day and he said we have $17 in the bank and food in the fridge, and I have no idea where more money is coming from and from that place. I had to find gratitude, and that's why the first chapter in the book is Begin With Gratitude. It was all about how do I be grateful for what's going on in my life when it looks like there's absolutely nothing to be grateful for, and so the first edition the 2012 edition of Transcending Fear is all about these messages that came to me about how to remedy my life, and so then, what I did now is I called the 10-year anniversary edition. I started writing it in 2020.

Speaker 2:

And, of course, books take a few years to publish. It is at the end of each chapter. There's a follow-up of how I used each one of these principles in my family in raising my children in the 10 years of life, how these principles were supported my personal growth in the raising of my family. When I wrote the first edition, my children were two and five, and now my son just graduated from my school and my daughter's off in college. So when I wrote the second edition, I also included a seventh chapter. That was all new information and it is right up to date. I actually had my publisher stop the press about a month ago and I changed a couple of sentences at the end to say I got the guidance that I have to also sell my house, and my house closed yesterday. I'm actually sitting here in someone else's house officially Wow, congratulations, Thank you.

Speaker 1:

That takes a lot of courage to release and let go. We were talking about how. What I really like is in the beginning of your book. There's a quote on Kali, the Vedic goddess of intensity let's put it that way but of major transformation through loss and growth, and I liked how the introduction to your book is all about how you share your life journey of spiritual awakening and releasing and even connecting with the divine feminine. So it's interesting the connection of the processes that you're sharing, but also how the divine feminine and what's going on on the planet all play into this. So this is personal to people, but it's also a collective awakening that requires people to let go of these old patterns and fair based realities and what doesn't serve you anymore.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely yeah. When I wrote the first edition of Transcending Fear, when I started writing, I actually was pretty much an atheist, and so when I started at the beginning of the book in 2008, I was just asking myself how do I heal my life? Where am I gonna get some money from? It was all about how do I fix this financial situation that I'm in. What was really fascinating is, as I was going through this process, it awakened my spirituality. I had a spiritual awakening while trying to figure out how to fix my physical life, and so the book actually goes through these very, very grounded place at the beginning, and by the time you get to the end of it, you discover that there's a spiritual process that goes with it. But when I first wrote that book, I was not spiritually inclined at all.

Speaker 1:

Interesting. I mean, I think that's what people need to look at Like we're dealing with a material plane issue let's say, not enough money to pay bills and people wanna approach it in a very mundane way, like using their brain, when really the intervention is something higher than yourself. Coming in the spiritual infusion, the divine feminine who cares for all of her devotees, to actually heal something internal that's blocking the reception of resources.

Speaker 2:

So it's that kind of thing, absolutely yeah, and it's the divine feminine that does it. So people keep reaching out and asking Father, god, for personal favors, but what causes the shift is an acceptance of the love of the divine mother and her healing of our hearts. And when our hearts start to be healed, that completely the entire reality. And so I started again about 2010,. I discovered the divine feminine. I didn't write about it so much in the book, because this book really is for spiritual newbies, but I remember I was with a friend and I said why is this feels like a woman's movement. And one of my spiritual teachers at the time I call her my spiritual mama back in 2010, and she said well, it's not really a woman's movement, it's a love movement. And it feels like a woman's movement because the feminine is more in touch with love.

Speaker 1:

Exactly, and even men are having to connect with their inner female or their divine feminine. I mean, that's really. People don't understand. What's the difference between divine masculine, divine feminine? Well, divine masculine is to connect you to source and light and infuse you, but it's more of like, okay, preserving it preserves you and preserves your life. But the divine feminine is unconditionally loving and sometimes think of a mother to a child who's been not getting the advice that they take away something. So that's why divine mother will sometimes take away something from us, or we need to release it so we can go to the next level and grow and learn. And so this is a process the planet's going through right now and people are going through individually, but they think it's punitive and it's not. It helps to catalyze growth where growth is needed.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely so. One of the ways that I explain the difference between the divine masculine and divine feminine is that the divine masculine is the mind of God and the divine feminine is the heart of God. Perfect, and we have to have both.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

And when we work with both of those entities, so both of those energies, we create balance within ourselves. And, yes, there is a letting go that's necessary. We can't move up into the next levels of consciousness until we're willing to let go of everything that's holding us in those lower levels of consciousness. So transcending fear is all about fear-based beliefs. In order to you know, everyone's talking about the Ascension, ascension. Ascension like it's some magic. You know. You jump from 3D to 5D. You're like living in Earth and then suddenly you're in heaven on Earth. There's a process to get there, and that involves a willingness to let go of everything we've ever believed, about everything. And when we start to let go of beliefs that no longer serve us, the rest of our life shifts to follow suit. But people want to change their reality without changing their beliefs, and it doesn't work that way.

Speaker 1:

Exactly. I mean I would we would call that spiritual bypassing and it's really. You have to go through the subconscious where all these beliefs and programs and conditioning are held. You have to work through the subconscious, thus the shadow work, and look at what the fears are that are holding you back and what I mean. It's tough stuff because there's traumas associated and there's actual physical body paralysis in some sometimes and people wanting to numb. So it is a journey to the subconscious to find out how the subconscious is holding you back. Then you can become a soul-infused personality and access the higher consciousness. But you can't bypass that subconscious, unfortunately. I mean not unfortunately, fortunately, or people would be spiritual bypassing running around left and right.

Speaker 2:

Well, and there are people that try that and don't even realize it. But there is a process and if you try to bypass the process, life will bring you right back into it. If you haven't done the shadow work and actually worked through it, that's going to keep bringing you the same lessons until you, until you finish processing up.

Speaker 2:

So Right, sometimes amplified too, so yes, you know I call it the, the uh, getting the spiritual two by four in the back of the head. If you don't listen the first couple of times to the nudges, you might end up with the uh big wax the back of your head to to get you to wake up.

Speaker 1:

Right, and here we are talking about it Like it's oh yeah, easy peasy, just let go and release. But it's not. So. How does that look like for people? How do they actually recognize and acknowledge this is no longer serving you? I mean, I think relationships are a good example, but even the what it's like where you put your time and energy, basically, if you keep putting your time and energy into something and you're not feeling fulfillment, whether it's, you know, in your heart, your emotions, or even on the physical plane, that's a red flag. But a lot of people will just keep like hitting their head against the wall, doing the same thing.

Speaker 2:

Right, well, and that's actually what the transcending fear book is. It's. It's a process of that walks people through the process of how to let go of what no longer serves them and how to learn to love even the most painful parts of their story. Because, if we're, this is all part of, as you were saying, this is all part of shadow processing. There, when you have processed your beliefs and you've processed your shadows, you actually can fall in love with even the most painful parts of your story, and that that is a part of being able to move into a love-based reality. I mean, we all talk about this new earth, heaven on earth, love-based reality 5D pick the label, because it's all the same thing. The way to arrive at that is heaven within ourselves, and the way to arrive at heaven within ourselves is a willingness to let go of everything that isn't heaven within ourselves, and so that requires a willingness to look at all of the darkest parts of our story, present and past, and learn how to transmute them into love.

Speaker 1:

Beautiful. When we come back, we're going to go through some of these chapters and what readers might expect, and some of the teachings that come with the different chapters, especially with the gratitude, as you mentioned in our last podcast, the Portal to Prosperity.

So, victoria, I would like to hear you share a little bit more of some of these chapters, what some content might be, or teachings or healing words that might come through them. We talked about the gratitude before. I always like hearing you speak about gratitude because your take on it is really enlightening, so I guess we'll start with the gratitude.

Speaker 2:

Okay. So I started out the book with Begin With Gratitude and that came to me because I was out walking one day and I was in the middle of, as I mentioned in the first part. I was in the middle of this recession and I had lost my business. My husband had lost his business and my house was in foreclosure. His car had just been repowed Thank goodness I had. My car was paid for because he came to me and he said at least, if we have nothing else, we have your car.

Speaker 2:

And a family of four living in my car was looking like a very real possibility, and I had heard of the movie the Secret. That was the big woo of the time and I wanted to know how to make the law of attraction work for me. So I bought the movie and I watched the movie. It was stuff I had actually already knew about from my first spiritual awakening. Which was it? I didn't know. It was a spiritual like in my first experience in 1987 being introduced to self-help books. So I knew a little bit about the law of attraction already. I wasn't completely new to it, but I had forgotten about it over the years. It got set aside for marriage and kids and I had completely forgotten about all my self-help stuff. So I watched the Secret and then I said I want to know more about this and we did not have the money. I put on a credit card. The money in the law of attraction with Esther Hicks was my introduction to Esther and Abraham and I'm read I listened to the program and it made no sense to me when it was too spiritually advanced for me at the time.

Speaker 2:

But I knew I wanted to make this law of attraction work for me because I needed to figure out where to get more money. And so I was out walking one day and I was asking myself how do I get this law of attraction to work for me? How do I get the law of attraction to work for me? Because nobody the people were telling you about the law of attraction, but not telling you how, because they wanted you to pay money to learn how to use the law of attraction. Well, I didn't have that and I didn't even know. Talking to myself or spiritual downloads none of those were even in the in my sphere of concept. But for some reason I always knew how to talk to myself.

Speaker 2:

So I was out walking one morning and I asked how do I make the law of attraction work for me, how to make this law of attraction work for me? And what I heard one morning was begin with gratitude. And I I remember I was out walking and I I saw still to this day one of the most amazing sunrises I've ever seen. It was beautiful, up over the the homes of my neighborhood and it almost brought me to tears because it was so beautiful. It was purple and pink and what I heard was be grateful for the eyes to see the sunrise and I.

Speaker 2:

That's when I started to understand the power of gratitude. As I felt grateful for the eyes to see the sunrise, I actually started to feel gratitude engulf my body, and that's when I started to understand gratitude. It's just lip services, actually a visceral energy that engulfs the very beingness of us, and that's where I began that much changing my life began with gratitude for sunrise and gratitude for the legs that carried me on my walk and gratitude for the skin to feel the sun, the morning sun, on my face, and from there I began to shift my entire experience and what was fascinating is the law of attraction started working for me because it matched my gratitude.

Speaker 1:

Interesting. So I would interpret that that you raised your vibration from the you know, focusing on the lack of what you didn't have in your life, to embodying and focusing on what was good and what was working. So then you're going to be raising to all of what's good, blessings and what can be received in life, instead of what you need. So it was a vibrational shift basically.

Speaker 2:

Yes, and what's really funny, because Esther Hicks talks about the vibrational shift of this stick and I was like what is she talking about? Then I understood later ah, fear of these lower based vibrations and these love based vibrations are all these higher vibrations. So as we start to pull ourselves out of these lower fear based, they're deep, they're very dense fear based beliefs and so as we start to face each one of these fear based beliefs and transmute them, it actually raises our vibration until we get to the point where we actually live every day in these amazing vibrations of love.

Speaker 1:

Yes, and it's interesting because I've gone through these processes myself. But it's funny. The only thing that will bring you out is if you let your mind play like, say, oh, but you don't have enough money for this. Or it's funny because you can stay in those. I call them the bliss states. You can stay in those bliss states like a whole day or, you know, for a whole week, but it's funny. Those if there's old patterns or there's a mental tape, let's call it a mental circle that has been there for a long time. Unless you like, work through that, people, I notice when they're tired or when they're not getting, you know, positive feedback, they can fall back into the mental loop which is then then you're out of the bliss until you recultivate it, because it does take some cultivating. But once you're in it, I notice you can you it kind of flows and it's not like you even have to effort to stay in it. You just have to, you know, maybe not go down the the mental loop that will take you out.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it, it's, it's also, but it tends to actually not go down that far. I don't know if you've noticed that. So sometimes the mind will get in there and mess with things, but we can catch ourselves and say, hey, wait a minute. Yeah, I know better than that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and you know, the other piece that I noticed when I go into it is like the body is literally buzzing, so it's like such a, a good feeling, a good energetic, and it's vibration. That's what people don't understand. The reason how we're going to make a shift is through frequency or vibrational change, and love is the highest vibration. So of course you're going to be buzzing in love, vibration, and so that's and it feels so good. So why would somebody want to leave that? But again, old patterns die hard, I think, and some people may just, you know, the subconscious will be like wait a minute, you're free. You're free of me. No, I'm, I'm back in control.

Speaker 2:

So it's an interesting Well there's, there's part of it too in that one of the things I've noticed. When those things sneak up, then I look at it and then I start a laughing because I'll say, oh, it's you again. I see there's just work I need to do around that. So they, these beliefs, come back up for us to take another look at and to heal on an even deeper level.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

So, if people understand those, those are coming back up to the surface, not to to sink into them, but to bring them up and heal them at a whole new level. Exactly they're actually. You actually are still moving up the spiritual spiral, but an old belief is going to come back around if it hasn't finished the healing process. But what's great is that you can heal it at a higher level.

Speaker 1:

Right. So then it really almost like dissolves. Yeah, I've seen that where it just dissolves and then it's like okay, that's wow, and then it's gone. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but sometimes it has to come back around a few times, right, because it's entrenched, or yeah. And then we. But then we heal it at a higher level and then eventually it does just dissolve because it no longer has any hold on our reality.

Speaker 1:

Right. And so this, you know, and a lot of people can do it, get there. But then they, they will have a stickler, like for some people it's the fear about money. There's some people it's the fear, oh, I'm going to be alone. So people have their what I would call their master trigger. You know their master wound that they're. So that's what's interesting too, because it tends to dissipate and dissipate and dissipate. That they can even heal that, that master wound or that ongoing fear. You know cause.

Speaker 1:

I would say that people have like, let's say, minor fears or fears that aren't as embedded or that are kind of not as intense, and then it seems like people tend to have like an ongoing wound or fear that they've kind of had all their life. So do you have anything to say about that? Like these, these core or it's a better word, core fear, like the core fear, like, oh, fear of survival, which then would be triggered by, oh, I don't have enough money, or fear of abandonment, or being alone, oh, I'm not in a relationship. So do you have, do you address that in the book? It sounds like you do, but what would be some some, what would be some information around, something like that?

Speaker 2:

Well, one of the things I've discovered is that these, these core woundings, these core beliefs, tend to be attached to something that happened when we're around. Generally speaking, it's between the age of four and six. We create a belief, unconsciously of course, a belief about something, and that then becomes an anchor, core belief through the rest of our lives. So it does help if you can go back. When did I start believing this? Oh, I can see. So, even for me, one of my core beliefs I create when I was 14 months old. I actually have a memory of when I create that belief and that, that. Then, looking at that very good, that core belief, and saying, oh, I can see where this came from, and changing it to a new belief back there, it actually starts to unravel in all of the experiences that happened after that.

Speaker 1:

Yes, yes, you track it back.

Speaker 2:

Because it no longer holds. If you track it back and you change it at that core environment, then it changes the entire life experience. Then you can look at all the times in your life, go, oh. So one thing that I talk about in there is I had this belief that I fail at everything and that I quit job after job after job and roommate after roommate after roommate as a survival mechanism. I read that as failure after failure after failure after failure. Now I can look at that and say, oh, this was actually self preservation. This was not working for me. I needed to let it go because this was not a good place for me to be.

Speaker 2:

So we can actually change our perspective about the situation. So they're no longer disempowering, so you're no longer a victim to your past. One of the things that's happening in the world right now is the media is constantly trying to keep us victimized to our circumstances. Our belief systems try to keep us victim to our circumstances. Our education system tries to keep us victim to our circumstances, individually and collectively. And as long as we are victims to our circumstances, past and present, we are not empowered to change our life. So we have to be able to look at our entire lab, like, take our life out, lay down the table and change the perspective from victim, which is under, you know, underpowered, to power over, so no longer being the victim of our circumstances, but rather being the creator, the being responsible for changing our perspectives. So our stories can actually be a source of empowerment rather than a story of victimization.

Speaker 1:

That's great. That's the chapter being powered. That's the content.

Speaker 2:

It's pretty much. The whole book is about how to take a look at your all. The entire book is about these fear based beliefs and how to change them.

Speaker 1:

I love this. And then what is on the other side of that is that people have access to their innate wisdom. It's like the innate life force that we can get through breath and other things. But when you are in touch with the innate wisdom or God wisdom, whatever people want to call it things like what is being perpetuated by the media or what people are saying or thinking and telling you from the outside, you know. You know the truth, you're in touch with the truth. So you're like what? That's a bunch of BS I'm hearing. It's really happening. It does give people like a level of wisdom and consciousness that can see through these fake belief systems that are being perpetuated by the media and other systems.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely so we start to get in touch with. But in the book I called on my inner therapist and I later realized it was my higher self. But there is a part of us that is connected to the infinite intelligence and infinite wisdom of the universe, and it's we all have access to it. It's just that a lot of people don't know how to listen. The more we do our spiritual work, our shadow work, the deeper and more clearly we have that communication. So that you could, we can, just sit and ask ourselves what's best? What's best, what's best, what's true? That's the thing that I've been running into the last few years is show me what's true about this. Show me what's true, because there is so much false narrative floating around out there. I want to know what's true.

Speaker 1:

Yes, the truth will set you free. That's such a good point, because there is so much illusion, delusion being perpetuated, that when you are in touch with your higher self, the truth is just so clear. There's no doubt, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and the truth comes from within that we are the only ones that really know what's true and what's best for us, and what happens is a lot of people actually talked about this on the ListenDeepWithin chapter, where people will pay money to someone else rather than listening to their own intuition. That's why it's called intuition you pay tuition within, exactly so, instead of looking for external teachers, go within and the answers will be there.

Speaker 1:

Well, I'm hoping that the people start realizing the best teachers are the ones that catalyze their own inner process, try to take over their, tell them what to do, but somebody who catalyzes their intuition and their process and their transformational process. So I feel like that might be happening already, that there's so many fake gurus, fake teachers out there, and with the internet it's like people can't really discern is this true or not, but then when you start working with somebody you can see it. So I think there might be a lot of shattering of what is a true teacher, and so that will help people too, because all the answers are within and sometimes people just need a little energetic nudge to go there.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, or even be taught how to do it, so a lot of people don't even know they have access to their intuition because, they've only been taught to look outside themselves, and it's interesting to say that it does feel like the age of the guru is starting to fade away.

Speaker 1:

Which is actually the Pisces era, the Piscian age, which was the age of the teacher, the priest, the guru, telling people what is true. We're in the Aquarian age now and the Aquarian age is the truth is within, but using all these different spiritual systems, traditions, techniques and kind of creating an inner spirituality for yourself. I mean, we have been in it and we've been emerging into it for about 20, 30, 40 years, but now we're really in it with Pluto going into Aquarius in 2024. People are going to realize that, okay, there's all kinds of wisdom from these ancient traditions and teachings and spiritual teachers that we can create our own mosaic of how that looks and works for us and connect us up to the higher self and source.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely yeah, we actually. The ascension started in 1963, which is my understanding. That's when love came back to the planet and that's when people started having these for lack of a better word spiritual awakening experiences. It's about the hippie movement and the love and the peace and all that.

Speaker 1:

And the psychedelic movement came.

Speaker 2:

Oh, that, yes, it was the beginning of this, that we are now in it, that was the emergence of it and we are now in that. And so what's what is going to come from this is is self leadership, and I remember hearing about 10 years ago we can't all be leaders, and I thought, well, actually we can, in that human beings, when they're making their choices from a position of love instead of fear, actually do not need external leaders, and there will come a time when we actually won't have governments or jails or police force or any of that, because we are making choices based on love and the leadership within ourselves. We don't need external gurus, we don't need external teachers, we don't need external leaders. It's all within ourselves. And not to say which is really funny because I people call me a spiritual teacher about freely what I do is I teach people how to listen to their own inner guidance and and that, yes, we will have teachers to teach children, but as adults, we don't actually need external teachers, unless it's something specific that we want to learn.

Speaker 1:

That does make sense, because we do all have an inner teacher and inner guru that it's just a matter of accessing and listening to it, as you had said so and we all have an inner guide and we all have an inner leader.

Speaker 2:

We really don't need it externally, anybody else telling us what to do and how to live our lives.

Speaker 1:

Right. The other thing, which was interesting with what you've been talking about, what, what I think you know, we've talked about this, about the ascension, the awakening, when people get in touch with these inner resources, these spiritual resources that are accessible to everybody, and they access these, what I call bliss states, or you know, what we call the integration of the divine, feminine, masculine, and and you know you'll share what you, you know I call it the bliss state, but when there's enough people walking around or experience that, that's what the ascension is. It's just a matter of getting, I feel, to critical mass, and critical mass I think we've talked about this has changed over the years, where it's like, oh, we need, you know, 50% of the population to shift and wake up, or just 51%. Now I understand it's like down to like 7% of the population to be, you know, walking around in bliss state. What is your view on that, victoria?

Speaker 2:

It's actually only 1%. Boom, there we go.

Speaker 2:

But, it depends on the state. So it was 50% of people who were at least 50% loving. There needs to be at least 50% of the population who makes choices, not necessarily based on love, but not making choices based on the intent to cause suffering, not based on greed. So there are people on the planet who intentionally make choices that they really don't care about anybody else except for themselves. They don't care who they hurt, they don't care what they do, it's just all about them. When you have enough people who start to make choices based on oh, this is what, this is, what's good for my family, I don't want to make any choices. That's going to hurt the next door neighbor. So they may not have a higher level of bliss state, they are in a higher level of consciousness. They're at least making choices that are more loving. They might not consciously be making more loving choices, but they're making more loving choices and that that is shifting.

Speaker 2:

When a person is in that bliss state that you and I've talked about, whoo man, I've been in some bliss states that are like have brought me to my knees because the love is so intense that enough people, one person in that state, can hold holds, the vibration for a thousand people, I believe Wow, that is one to a thousand. So I talk a lot about us being the other one percent, when enough of us and that's only 800 million people Making choices from the highest state of every choice I make is based on what's best for all life on earth. What is the best choice for myself, my family, for all life on earth, for love of humanity and all life? Only when enough of us can get to that state where that becomes a default of every choice we make, that changes the entire planet.

Speaker 1:

That's beautiful way of looking at it and it's quite attainable, which people have to realize.

Speaker 2:

And it absolutely and it again does require willingness to let go of everything. That isn't that, and it's kind of scary to let go of what's best for me and my family, right, or I don't even. A lot of people don't even use the word term. I use what's in the highest and greatest good of all concerned. Those are terms that most people aren't even aware exist because they're so accustomed to being in personal fear, personal survival.

Speaker 1:

Like they say in Buddhism and even in the Vedic teachings, for the benefit of all beings. When we start thinking in that term, that everything we're doing is for the benefit of all beings, I think that's a big game changer, which is what you just described.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 1:

So this is a good place to wind it down, victoria. I would love you to share with my listeners how they can get your book Transcending Fear and get in touch with you and any other contact information you want to share. It will be in the show notes as well.

Speaker 2:

Okay, the best place to reach me is on my website, victoriaatvictoriarenalscom. I do have a free gift there for people who come to my website. It's actually a book that's for sale on Amazon, but you can come to my website and get it for free. It's called Rise Up. It's all about the great awakening and the ascension that we're in right now, and if you click on my tools page, it shows all of my books. I have another book that is published about a year ago that is getting rave reviews, called Recreating Earth. So if you go to my website, you'll see my programs, my services, my classes, and then. Another way to find me is on my YouTube channel, which is Victoria Reynolds YouTube.

Speaker 1:

Thank you, so you have a book on Amazon or your website.

Speaker 2:

Correct. So because it was just published on Amazon, about a week ago, when you click on Transcending Fear, you'll get a couple of other people's books.

Speaker 2:

Oh okay, because someone else has actually done a 10-year anniversary edition to his, which I find really interesting because we both published our first book about the same time and he's just published a second book, so but you will see it. Now they might actually see my first book, the 2012 edition, before they see the 2023 edition, just because the algorithms haven't popped it up to the top yet. Or they can go in there or they can go on my website. Click on it and it'll take them directly to the link on Amazon to purchase it.

Speaker 1:

Excellent. Well, thank you so much, Victoria. You shared a lot of uplifting information. So nice to have you back on Cosmic Scene.
