Conscious Choice vs Unconscious Choice – Stepping Out of Victimhood


In the last blog and episode of The Sovereign Soul Podcast, I spoke about free choice—about understanding what it means to take responsibility for what you are experiencing in this life, even when you can’t remember choosing it before you came here.

In this blog and episode, I am going to build on that. I am going to talk about unconscious and conscious choice—and the enormous difference between the two.

The Victim State

When we’re living as a victim, we are not in our power.
Life feels like it’s happening to us.
We’re overwhelmed. We pity ourselves. We sit in a low vibration of lack because deep down we believe nothing is working for us, or we can't get anything right.

We feel lost.

And the only way to stop feeling lost is to step out of the victim role and move into empowerment.

That shift begins when we believe—deep in our bones—that we have chosen the entirety of the life we are living. We may not remember choosing it, but the moment we claim that choice, we put ourselves in a position of responsibility.

Beyond the Body, Beyond the Gridlock

When we die, we don’t stop existing. The body is just one small part of what we are—a vessel for experience.

If you’ve listened to my other episodes, or read my blog, you know I see Earth as stuck in a low-frequency gridlock of hierarchy and control in the spiritual realm. It’s a system that feeds itself on our energy. Those at the top of the pyramid—whether in the spiritual hierarchy or mirrored here on Earth—are addicted to power.

And power is fed by control.
Souls are a commodity.
Fear, confusion, anxiety, and separation are the currency.

Most people are living in fight-or-flight, surviving rather than consciously creating. And that survival state breeds unconscious choices—the belief that life is happening to you, that God put you where you are, that some karmic punishment is being served.

Why Karma Is a Trap

I think karma, as it’s commonly taught, is revolting.

It tells people that if you were born into suffering—into poverty, abuse, neglect—it’s because you “deserve” it from a past life. And it says you must stay there, working through your karma, before you can be free.

It’s a belief system designed to keep you powerless.
If you believe you deserve your suffering, you’ll never leave it.

The Cost of Unconscious Choice

When we believe life belongs to someone else—God, fate, the system—we’re pawns in a game we think we can’t win. That’s unconscious choice.

Conscious choice starts when we say:
"I might not remember choosing this life, but if I am living it, I much have chosen it. There is purpose in it. This moves me forward. I can choose to respond differently."

When you take that responsibility, you reclaim control from your mind, your emotions, your triggers. You stop being a prisoner of your reactions.

The Inner Game of Freedom

Freedom begins with recognising:
“This situation brought up a feeling in me. That feeling belongs to me.”

You trace it back:
“Oh, that’s from when I was a child.”

You choose:
“Do I release it? Do I consciously choose to respond differently?”

That’s conscious choice. That’s living beyond the ego. That’s shining light into the unconscious so you can make decisions for yourself—decisions that heal you, and in turn, heal the planet.

Because here’s the truth: we are our own worst captors. We’re victims not only to circumstance, other people, or systems, but worst, to ourselves.

Claiming Your Choices

When you take full responsibility—for everything that’s happened before this life and everything happening now—you can make different choices.

If you’re in an abusive relationship, you can choose to leave.
If parenting feels overwhelming, you can choose to change your approach.

And parenting is a great example—because it’s so close to the human heart, yet so many people do it unconsciously. You can abandon your children, smother them with control, or choose to raise them with awareness and love. You can embrace the choice you made to be a parent and navigate it in an empowered way instead of becoming a victim to it.

This is where true freedom lives—in the conscious choices you make every single day.

How to Deal with Unconscious People Without Losing Your Peace

Today, I want to talk about a question I get asked all the time: How do I deal with unconscious people? You know the ones. The people who just don’t get it . The ones who move through life in a way that feels… illogical, frustrating, or downright dumbass. (And let’s be honest, the world is full of dumbassery right now—war, abuse, homelessness, starvation. The human condition is steeped in it.) I’ve been an intuitive energy healer for nine years now, and I work directly with the soul. What I’ve come to see, again and again, is this: We each have a different story, but the patterns ? They’re all playing out in just a few predictable ways—fear, insecurity, avoidance, control, shame. And these patterns? They’re not even original. They’re programmed. Installed. Looped. Recycled. And unless we get conscious of them, we’ll keep playing the same movie with different characters over and over again. So when someone’s behaviour triggers you—when someone’s unconsciousness is loud and in your ...

The Soul’s Journey, Survival, and the Spaces In Between

  I got this interesting newsletter today. It talked about the three stages of soul development—something I’ve lived through over and over. It's a continual process that happens inside of us: The buildup —life becomes unbearable in some way. You feel stuck, stagnant. Like you've hit a wall and can’t go any further from where you are. The life-altering moment —this could be an illness, a deep meditation, a near-death experience, teacher plants, a dream, or some unexpected crack in reality that shows you the other side . The integration —how you make sense of what you’ve seen and begin embodying it in this physical world. I can absolutely relate to this. But it’s a long-ass process. Sometimes it feels too long. Weeks pass like days. Months disappear before I even notice. And suddenly, we’re halfway through the year, and I’m asking myself: Where did the time go? Still, when I zoom out, I can see how much has changed—especially over the last nine years. This awakening...

Is Your Life a Pre-Decided Blueprint? The Paradox of Free Will & Soul Contracts

Is your life a pre-decided blueprint?   In other words—has it already been decided, before you’re even born, that you’ve chosen every experience? Your family, your struggles, your "soul contracts," the things you think you have to do, or the things you want to do?   Or… is this all just a nurtured lie of the matrix?   Here’s the paradox: Are people choosing to wake up before they’re born? Or are some choosing to stay asleep?   I think it’s both.   If we have free will, it doesn’t mean we’re always making conscious choices. Most people operate on autopilot—making decisions from unconscious conditioning, societal programming, or manipulated influences. That’s not free will.   But for those awakening—whether in sudden epiphanies or gradual realignments—every moment of clarity reinforces the blueprint we did choose for ourselves.   I spent the first 39 years of my life deep in the matrix, desperately searching for my way ...
