Ever wondered how much of your reality is just a really well-funded belief system? Yeah, same.

In this episode, we’re diving into:

The nature of belief—where it comes from, how it shapes our world, and why it’s way more powerful than we think.

Why chaos agents exist and how their soul contracts (yes, even that one) are playing a role in the collective shift.

The moment I accidentally moved something with my energy—and how it completely changed my understanding of what’s possible.

Why neurodivergent humans might just be the next evolutionary step (I said what I said).

How to shift your beliefs to shift your reality—and no, this isn’t some toxic positivity “just think happy thoughts” BS. 

Also, at some point, I question whether I should rethink gravity. So if I end up levitating, you’ll be the first to know. 

If you’ve ever wondered Can belief really shape my reality?, Why does it feel like everything is shifting right now?, this episode is for you.

Episode 5: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Belief

Hello, and welcome to Hitchhiker’s Guide to Humanity. I am your host, Erica—healer and channel for Source, the Universe, Spirit, whatever you want to call it. We are an equal-opportunity podcast here.

Today, we’re talking about belief.

Belief can be tricky when thought of with the ego or the mind. I think there are ways to investigate belief, but to actually believe in something, you have to surrender to this higher power—whatever that is for you. And it will be different for everyone.

Ultimately, it’s my belief that consciousness is a well of energy, that we all exchange energy with this source of all things. Many call it God, the Divine, the Universe, the Quantum Realm, the Akashic Field. It really doesn’t matter. It’s all the same. At least to me in my belief system, which may be drastically different than yours.

Contrary to what we were led to believe, beliefs can change, but the vibration required to change belief is higher than what our collective consciousness has been on this planet for years. Many, many years. I believe it’s raising collectively right now, which is why we’re experiencing a lot of what is happening. But believing the why of what is happening does not justify the what that is happening.

Okay, I’ll explain because I know that that’s a bit of a word salad statement. Stick with me. We’re gonna go up high.

I understand why certain humans chose to be agents of chaos. Why they chose to disrupt the collective mindset and turn it on its head. This all happened before they were even born. That’s an important distinction here. We choose our paths with our higher selves based on the lessons we have to learn personally and as a collective. And of course, to finish any soul contracts and get rid of karmic debt. All these things are happening at the same time.

By the way, if you’re new to these concepts, higher self is a term many use. For me personally, it means all the souls above us in vibration because I believe there’s more than just one.

So these agents of chaos chose this so our society could experience this eye-opening awakening, to see what our energy has created, what our belief has created over many, many years. That we have allowed to stand—this mindset that money and power are the answer to what makes up a life—while many watched it happen insidiously under their noses and swept it under the rug. That somehow it was okay as long as they were still getting what they wanted, even if others suffered.

In many ways, humans likely didn’t know the extent of the suffering until social media made it very apparent. We were in some really closed bubbles for many years. But once we did know, the ego provided the perfect mask for humans to believe it was all justified for whatever reason we chose.

And that can all still be true. You can still not think that, for example, the orange puppet and his puppet handler are the second coming of Jesus or that any other dictator in the world is there to serve some altruistic purpose to get us closer to something biblical or sacred. No matter what, though, the knowledge you gain on the why does not justify the what that is happening. Knowing it’s all chess pieces on a chessboard will never, ever justify the pain and the suffering of my fellow humans, animals, plants, anyone. And you can experience this at the same time.

So, you may be asking, oh great, thanks for taking me down into the rabbit hole of Debbie Downerville. I’ll bring you back up. It’s okay.

How do we stop it? Can we stop this? Are we stopping it?

Yes. I believe we can, and I believe we are, as I speak to you. Our collective energy curates and holds this environment in place. We’re doing this. It can stop at any time if we transmute and change the focus of our energy into something else—something other than watching the clock tick, the news outlets spewing their narratives, or listening to others talk about their opinions with no solutions or hope as our countries and world descend into chaos.

To stop it, it is my belief that we need to have enough people believe that we have the ability—with our energy—to stop it. And that is a very large belief shift for society.

Especially a society that has these common standards and rules that we’ve been going by for many, many years. Like, for example, the belief that time is linear in the physical realm. But once you change that belief, it really does change how you approach life.

If you know that in the present moment, that’s all that’s real—so to speak—and that the past and the future only reside in your mind, you’ll make your present more special. You’ll make your present a place where you can actually change your beliefs.

You will no longer be tethered to the belief that the standards and rules of the physical realm—i.e., 3D—is all there is. And once you start believing it’s not, you create the next version of what is in front of you. You use the tools that you’ve been given by raising your vibration. You use the magic and the gifts and the telepathy and all the things that you build. You build a new society based on your energy.

It’s really not that weird when you think about it on a scientific level. The quantum energy field, Akashic field—whatever you want to call it—is producing this reality in a way that we’re all pulling from the same source or well of energy. And because the majority of people decided that, let’s say, gravity was a thing, then it’s a thing.

The majority of people said, you can’t move things with your mind. The more people that believe that’s a thing, then it’s a thing, right?

So if enough people believe that we are infinite beings… if enough people believe that we can move things with our minds… then we can do it.

You can see it. I think there's a statistic on how many people believe in God or some type of a religious Deity. It's a huge amount, which is why the world is the way it is, which is why wars are fought over religion. Arguments, separation happens over religious beliefs. It's because we're all believing that Our own little things about it and not really accepting someone else's belief system. But They're all real to whoever believes them. And so if as a collective we believe in something That is better for our fellow humans than it will be. 

I'll let you in on a little secret about myself, a little story about myself. I experienced something the other day that I can't explain with any standards or rules in the physical realm. I was channeling source as I do. And I have to admit, it was the first time that I channeled Source in a way where it came like while I was meditating, my eyes closed, it felt very, there was some power behind it, some impact. And when I was done, I got up and walked into my kitchen. And the light to the microwave was on. The plate in the microwave was spinning and I thought, oh shit, I left the microwave on. But there was nothing in it. And all that was displayed on the panel was the time on the clock. 

Now, not a lot scares me anymore. When you hear voices, talk to spirit, you're a psychic, a healer, you know you're protected. But I have to admit, there was a little bit of fear. I was like, oh, shit, have I tapped into something that You know, I shouldn't, and all humans have fears. This is legit. Even psychics But, and it was only for a few seconds and then I popped back in and then I just asked Source and I said, what's going on, dude? Like, what, is this a sign? What do you want me to? And They were like, oh, you, you did that. You made that move with your energy. And I was like, okay. Well, that, that is an explanation. But My belief in my gifts changed because I didn't believe that I could move things with my energy. I knew my energy was impactful, that I could call it back to me and all of those things, but I didn't know that I could light up a microwave. And now that it's happened in the physical realm, I've seen it with my eyes and I believe it. So it came to the point where my belief was so strong and so real to me. That I created that movement unbeknownst to me with my energy. But if you were to tell somebody, they may not believe you because their belief system says that can't happen. But I saw it with my own eyes and my place isn't haunted. This is the safest place I could be. I control what comes in and out with energy and nothing can come in without my permission.

So this is what I mean when I say what you need is inside you. 

All of these beautiful gifts that make your life better are inside you. You just need to tap in and get to them. I do think those of us who are neurodivergent humans can see through the veil easier and so what that does is we don't get pulled in As much into these common social performances, conformities, social constructs that humanity has decided are the standards and rules. I believe we were specifically designed to question those in our society. And it's been deemed a disability to question the stuff, but it really isn't. It's an ability. It is a gift. Now, that doesn't make our lives here any less difficult because it's a neurotypical world. I believe you could gain this ability with the awareness of who you are and by raising your vibration. Which, in some ways, explains the prevalence of those who are neurodivergent. Like those on the autism spectrum with little vocal communication, which the telepathy tapes highlighted. 

I believe neurodivergent humans are the evolved version of the human. We were born to mirror society and let them know what's possible. We came into the world with a higher vibration which in order to fit into this society we had to mask which caused a lot of trauma. 

Now, I know this sounds somewhat radical given the standards and rules that are actually in place now. You don't have to agree with me. I know that my microwave lit up and that that plate was moving and that I didn't turn it on. This belief is now part of my belief system. And the more it happens, the more it creates that reality for me here in the physical realm. That's what people mean when they say you create your own reality. It happens in front of you because your belief grows and grows and it leads to the next thing. Well, if I could do that, then manifestation must be real. If I can do that, then maybe gravity isn't necessary. I mean, I don't want to float up into space and break apart because of the frozen air. But I'm okay with gravity as a standard, but I also reserve the chance to change my belief on that. 

Peace and love to you all. Until next time.
