Seeking Fame, Power, and the Soul Lessons Behind Influence
Hey everyone, welcome back.
This week I want to talk about those who seek fame, money, and power—and the spiritual and soul lessons behind influence. This is not about gossip, accusations, or judging anyone’s soul journey. It’s about the karmic patterns being revealed right now as more information comes to light through investigations, documentaries, and cultural reckonings.
For the first time in history, we are able to see behind closed doors in ways we never could before. What I’m noticing is a repeating soul pattern: when power, money, and influence become the goal, specific spiritual challenges emerge.
This conversation may be triggering. I will speak openly about abuse, trafficking, and silence within systems of power. Please take care of yourself as you listen, and skip ahead if needed. I invite you to listen without judgment, with an open heart.
Power as a Spiritual Test
When fame and power enter a soul’s life, they are not neutral experiences. They activate lessons around integrity, fear, silence, and self-betrayal. At the highest levels of influence, conformity is rewarded and truth is punished. Silence becomes currency.
Some souls are drawn to power as part of their spiritual blueprint. The belief is often subconscious: If I reach this level, I’ll finally be safe. I won’t be rejected. I won’t be hurt.
But this creates a trap—because the validation comes from the outside, not the heart.
Fame, Fear, and External Validation
Fame, money, and power behave like addictive substances. They promise safety and happiness, but often deliver fear and spiritual contraction. When someone’s sense of worth depends on outside validation, their soul stops listening inwardly.
This is why power can distort. The fear of falling—from relevance, protection, or influence—can drive people to compromise their values. When fear becomes the motivator, actions move away from heart alignment.
The Shadow Bubble of Influence
High-power environments form a kind of energetic bubble. Inside that bubble, normal rules bend. Accountability fades. People are asked to look away, stay quiet, and tolerate harm in exchange for access, protection, or advancement.
This is not about “bad people.” It’s about spiritual pressure.
Souls inside these systems are repeatedly tested:
- Will I speak up or stay silent?
- Will I protect myself or others?
- Will I choose comfort or truth?
Silence is often framed as neutrality—but it isn’t.
Silence Is a Choice
Silence is not neutral.
Turning away is not neutral.
Protecting comfort over integrity is a decision.
Every system that harms others continues because enough people choose silence. History shows us this pattern again and again.
A Personal Reckoning With Silence
I’ve lived this lesson personally. While serving in the military, I experienced and witnessed sexual harassment and abuse of power. I initially tried to survive by staying quiet, asking to be moved instead of reporting what was happening.
But once I saw the full pattern—how many others were hurt and protected by silence—I knew I couldn’t stay quiet. I understood that speaking up would cost me my career. And it did.
I lost my position. I lost opportunities. I became a problem instead of a person.
But I did not lose myself.
Integrity Over Access
Choosing truth over access is a soul-level decision. It often comes without reward, closure, or validation. But it preserves something far more important: inner alignment.
Power that comes from the outside can be taken away.
Power that comes from knowing who you are cannot.
Collective Shadow, Collective Healing
The exposures happening now—across entertainment, politics, religion, and institutions—are not random. They are invitations for collective shadow work.
They ask us:
- What do we excuse?
- What do we reward?
- Where do we stay silent to belong?
- Where does cruelty benefit us?
These are uncomfortable questions—but powerful ones.
Closing Reflection
We are not here to save the world through perfection.
We are here to remain true to ourselves.
Understanding these patterns gives us choice. Choice brings power. And power rooted in truth cannot be taken.
Until next time, love and light.
