Episode Summary: The Three Veils and Seven Imbalances of the Mind, Part 1 (Pages 34-60)
I’ve decided to break up this chapter from The Freedom Transmissions into two different episodes because of the depth of the content. This chapter is fundamental to understanding how we keep ourselves in density—what holds us back from living in our true essence, our peace, and our divine nature.
Before we move forward with the other transmissions in this book, we need to start here. The good news? This chapter also offers ways to move from density into greater freedom.
In this episode, we are discussing the Seven Imbalances of the Mind, as found on pages 34-60. The next episode will focus on The Three Veils.
As we’ve discussed in prior episodes, The Freedom Transmissions is a pathway to peace. It’s a journey to free ourselves from our personal burdens so that we can step into greater balance, joy, fearless faith, non-resistance, and love.
One of the key messages in this chapter is that when we learn to release our imbalances, we will know freedom and what it means to live clear-hearted.
This is The Seven Imbalances of the Mind.
The Origin of the Imbalances
Before diving into the Seven Imbalances, it’s helpful to understand where they come from.
We learn that at the moment of our soul’s inception, we were created in Balance, because we are of the One—the Divine, Spirit, Infinite Intelligence. We were designed in harmony.
However, we were also seeded with consciousness, which led to self-awareness. And with self-awareness came choice.
This is where free will enters: the choice to align with Divine Will or to create our own fragmented perception of self and reality.
The Seven Imbalances of the Mind were not created by the Divine but by us, through fear-based thinking and illusions of separation.
These imbalances distort our perception, keeping us disconnected from peace.
The Seven Imbalances of the Mind
Each imbalance is an error in perception—a way we miss the mark in choosing love over fear.
Here’s an overview:
The Perception of Darkness or Separation
Feeling separate from the Divine and others
Expressed through guilt, shame, self-criticism, victimhood, and isolation
Transcendence: Reaching for something greater—immersing in nature, serving others, and practicing self-compassion
Tyrannical Desire and Greed
Driven by dominance, power, and lack of integrity
Expressed through control, entitlement, emotional manipulation, and lack of empathy
Transcendence: Releasing control, serving without personal gain, restoring integrity, and embracing humility
Ignorance, Denial, or Complacency
Avoidance of truth, resistance to change, procrastination
Expressed through addiction, procrastination, abdication of responsibility, and apathy
Transcendence: Facing discomfort, embracing personal accountability, and stepping into action
Excitement Over Death or Endings
Fear of the unknown, fixation on destruction
Expressed through paranoia, obsession with mortality, or reckless behavior
Transcendence: Reconnecting to life, faith in the eternal nature of the soul, and embracing joy
Imbalance of Human Want and Lust (Desires of the Flesh)
Preoccupation with external image and validation
Expressed through materialism, addictive behaviors, and fear of rejection
Transcendence: Simplicity, refining wants versus needs, and remembering self-worth beyond external validation
Foolish Wisdom or Not Aligning with Divine Will
Elitism, arrogance, assumption of moral or intellectual superiority
Expressed through rigid beliefs, judgment, and forcing opinions onto others
Transcendence: Deep humility, openness to learning, and aligning personal will with Divine Will
Wrathful Wisdom or Judgment
Rooted in fear and separation, leading to anger, rage, and retaliation
Expressed through acts of harm, violence, or self-destruction
Transcendence: Reconnection to nature, patience, gratitude, and the power of love
Moving Toward Balance and Peace
Becoming conscious of these imbalances is the first step toward transformation. Through self-awareness and surrender, we begin to dissolve these distortions and return to our true essence.
When we align our will with Divine Will, we move closer to peace.
Reflection:
Which imbalances resonate with you? How can you begin the process of healing and realignment?
Next Steps: Read & Listen
📿 Meditate on this:
Take time alone, light a candle, breathe, and ask the Divine to help you perceive a troubling situation differently. Listen. Write down what you hear. Trust the messages of love.
