Akashic Records for Energy Healing with Dr. Linda Howe

Linda Howe

Oh, thank you. Thank you so much for having me. I’m really pleased to be here.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah. So let’s jump into the Akashic records. But before we do that, like how did you discover it? Like I told you, I discovered it by hearing someone else talk about it. Where did you first hear about the Akashic records?

Linda Howe

Well, listen, you know, you can tell by my accent, I’m from Chicago, I’m from the Midwest. I would say-

Tom McCarthy

That’s where they talk about Akashic records, right?

Linda Howe

What is this Akashic? Whoever heard of such a thing? You know where I’m from, no one, we don’t use words like that, right? So, but you know, through a series of events in my life, I had, when I was 24, I had a life-changing moment of spiritual awareness. And in that moment, I felt completely like known, almost like transparent, like life could see into me. Right? Completely known. Completely loved and appreciated all those good things. And a part of the whole of creation. Now I have to tell you. Nothing in my life prepared me for that. I’m from a part of the world where, you know, if you’re going to be happy, you have to earn it. That’s what I figured out. Right? So I worked very hard and I imagine my distress when I did everything that 

I thought was right, And I wasn’t happy, but anyway, but it led to this. So I have this moment. I have no idea what it is, what it means. All I know is I thought, whatever the heck this is, I must have it in my life. And I was 24 and the search was on. And I did everything, right? I mean, you’re doing this summit. You know there’s a million people doing a million fabulous things. Right? I tried as many as I could. So I went from 24 to 40, really doing my very best to try and recreate that experience.

Tom McCarthy

Right.

Linda Howe

And everything was wonderful, but nothing was it. Until someone said Akashic record. I was like, whatever that is, you know, anyway. So I went to this class with a teacher who I thought was really like very esoteric and odd, but I didn’t care. I did what she said and I followed the directions. And I opened my records. And when that happened, I had an experience that was shockingly similar to the experience I had when I was 24. And I thought, whatever this is, I didn’t understand it. I didn’t know what it meant. I knew nothing. I just knew whatever it was, I was going to keep exploring it until it dried up. Now, originally I thought, this will probably last two or three months, and then I’ll move on, right? Like I had with so many other things. 

Well, lo and behold, that was in 1994. Is it now, what is it? August of 21. I don’t know. I used to be blonde. I don’t know what happened. But you know? And so it has turned out to be really like the central governing… It’s not just a theme, but it’s the guiding light of my life. And you know, I really, I had no idea. I really had no idea what I was in, but that’s all right. It’s good not to have any idea because I had a lot of questions. And working in the record responded to my questions.

Tom McCarthy

Well, not only did you help yourself, but you’ve helped thousands upon thousands of people go into their records. So we hear the records. Like explain to people, what are the Akashic records?

Linda Howe

Okay. Okay. So first of all, Akasha is a Sanskrit word, right? And what means is primary substance that from which all things are formed. So we’re talking really about the raw essence of life. That’s what Akasha is, all right. The Akashic record is a vibrational archive of every soul and its journey as human. Now, because it’s vibrational, that means it’s invisible. We never see it. You know, you don’t see it with your human eye. You don’t see it with your strong eye.

Tom McCarthy

Right

Linda Howe

There is no, you know, when I first heard about it, I thought, oh, there’s gonna be like a big golden book and somebody will open it to page, you know, 37 and there’ll I’ll be. No, it’s vibrational. Now the thing about vibration and you know this, is that even though we don’t see it, we can always sense it. Not through phenomena, but through our emotion. Right?

Tom McCarthy

Yeah.

Linda Howe

So it’s vibrational, it’s available to everyone. It’s a vibrational archive. So it’s a collection. It’s like a treasury and everybody is in it.

Tom McCarthy

Everybody who has ever lived is in it.

Linda Howe

Everybody who has ever lived in in the record. The thing about it is, what makes up the record is this collection of all human beings, okay? So if, if you and I decide we don’t like somebody and we want to boot them out, we can’t. The good news is nobody can erase us either. It’s a two way street. So that’s how that goes. Everybody’s in, and that’s what makes up the record, okay? And it’s about the soul’s journey as human. So, you know, sometimes people are like, well, what about a lifetime I was in another galaxy? The record, doesn’t say yes or no. The record has no opinion, but the record does not hold that information. It specific to earth.

Tom McCarthy

Okay.

Linda Howe

Right? Okay. And there are other people who will say things like, well, in a past life, I was, I don’t know, whatever I was, an elk, right? And this time I’m a person. And if I don’t behave myself, I’ll be a cockroach. Maybe that’s true. Maybe it’s not, I don’t know. The record does not have that information though. You see, it’s only about the soul as human.

Tom McCarthy

Okay. Interesting.

Linda Howe

And just there’s one more thing I think is really important. There’s two parts to every set of records. Okay there’s the permanent. And it’s from the inception of the soul throughout time. It’s like the impression, it’s your potential, it’s who you are destined to become. And it’s almost like a divine impression woven into the fabric of the soul, okay? It’s good. It’s a good thing, right? We like this, and it’s who you will become. And what travels along with that is the evolving or the changing, growing, morphing part of the record. And this is fascinating because it’s like the Chronicles of you, right? It’s the collection of the lifetimes you live, through which you awaken to who you are and you live that while you’re here on earth. So like generally speaking, that’s how it all works or what it is.

Tom McCarthy

Okay, cool. Yeah, that makes sense. So how can people, what information can they get from this that is helpful in their current existence? What types of things can people look for and get answers for?

Linda Howe

Okay. Okay. So when we work in the record, the principle is: energy first, information second.

Tom McCarthy

Okay.

Linda Howe

Okay you know from the internet information is great. Doesn’t always go far enough.

Tom McCarthy

Right.

Linda Howe

Let’s just say that. Okay so we love information, but we know there’s more. When we work in the record, it’s the energy first and it’s, so what is that sense? It’s a spiritual resource. So it’s a sacred space, right? It’s a space of sanctuary or reference predominantly characterized by the emotional safety. ‘Cause for human beings, the way we transform is when we experience being safe. So we go into our records. There is this sense of being respected, understood like that. So it’s this space of unconditional regard. And so once we settle into that sense of being appreciated and understood, right? Like life is really on our side, kind of a thing. Then what starts to happen is that all the treasures in the soul, you know, you’ve been living many, many lifetimes, and all that you’ve been learning and accumulating and understanding, all that is stored within your soul. And the safer you feel, it’s the best way I can explain it, the easier it is for the truths that are embedded within you to emerge.

Tom McCarthy

Okay, cool.

Linda Howe

So a lot depends on what are you… the law of the universe says that what you seek you will find, right? So the idea is what are your questions? And when we work in the records, the record, doesn’t just dump itself on our heads because it’s not useful, right? What is useful is I go into the record with questions. And I have a son who’s now he’s going to be 28. I don’t know how that happened, but it did, anyway. But the thing about it is, is that in raising him, I would go in to the records and ask. First my, my original questions were like, “What’s wrong with him?” And they would say, “Well, nothing.” You know, he’s four. You know what I’m saying? Like, that’s what eight year old boys do, you know? So, but the other thing is this. The record always invites us to take a look at our part in our relationships, our participation, our contribution. 

What am I doing? Who am I being? And what happens working in the record is we have a chance to actually begin to understand ourselves, our motivations, the motivations of others. So it’s not just about information, right? It’s about having the insight and the guidance and the wisdom that we can apply to cause the shifts that we seek, okay? So what started out in my parenting journey is “What’s wrong with this kid?” turned out to be, “How do I discipline this kid without snuffing out his spirit?” See, what starts to happen-

Tom McCarthy

You got answers on that.

Linda Howe

And then I got answers. Well now that’s a question we can, and then the guidance would be, you know, whatever, whatever was appropriate for the time.

Tom McCarthy

Right.

Linda Howe

Do you know? And, that’s just so… So we begin to see our part in everything we’re doing. And so the record is not about fixing and changing other people. It’s about becoming our highest potential while we’re still in human form, which was, you know, I mean, the idea is that we’ll be out of these bodies and we’ll be like, ahh! Living in the light, but in the meantime, like how do we do that? And that’s how you get in the record.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah. Awesome. I think in your book or somewhere I read one of the most famous healers in the 20th century was Edgar Casey, who was accessing for many of his healings. He was accessing Akashic records. So talk about healing and the Akashic records. How can people who are struggling either with mental conditions or physical conditions, what kind of information can they glean that will help them heal?

Linda Howe

Okay. Okay. So first I just, we’ll talk about that in one second, but I do want to say this about Edgar Casey. Edgar Casey was brilliant because he popularized the understanding of the Akashic record here in the west. The problem was, it’s not a problem, I mean he was man of his time, right? Is that Edgar Casey was the only one. It was very exclusive and he wasn’t quite sure what he was doing. So that tells us a lot, whereas about the state of the union of the record in the middle of the last century, whereas now anybody with a sincere desire to have a more conscious connection with their soul can connect with their records.

Tom McCarthy

You don’t have to go to an Edgar Casey.

Linda Howe

You don’t have to go to Casey. You can do it yourself. Right, You don’t even have to come to me. Anyway, but that’s right. You can learn how to do this for yourself. Which is thrilling. Okay. Now what was that question about healing?

Tom McCarthy

So what kind of information around healing.

Linda Howe

Ahh, okay okay. So here’s the thing. The first idea, the Akashic record is governed by three absolutes: fear not, judge not, resist not. So if someone has an ailment of any kind, any kind. Whether it’s a broken leg or a broken heart, right? It’s all about the same. Let’s face it. It’s all terrible. But from a record standpoint, we don’t judge it. We don’t say, oh, this is terrible. It is what it is. A broken leg is a broken leg, right? This is part of the experience. So the first thing is we want to relinquish our judgment. Negative judgment. 

What holds our distress in place are the negative opinions we have about ourselves for having them. We get mad at ourselves, “Oh, I shouldn’t have cancer.” “I shouldn’t have my heart condition.” Whatever it is. It’s like, well, as human beings, everyone dies at some point. It’s not a moral issue and it’s not a contest, right? Nobody’s gonna beat the dealer here. So the question is how do we continue? First of all, how do I love myself, even though I have these challenges?

Tom McCarthy

Yeah.

Linda Howe

Then how do I let myself participate in life even though I’m not perfect? So the idea, because see what happens when we move into acceptance. That doesn’t mean we like it. I don’t say, oh my God, I have Parkinson’s, I’m thrilled. No, you know, it’s not such a great thing, but it’s the reality. And the sooner I get on board, the easier life is right? Because negative interpretations keep us stuck. Whereas acceptance ignites release. Sometimes people are relieved of distress. Emotional, mental, physical, right? Sometimes. 

But sometimes they’re not. Sometimes the purpose, the soul comes in and says, Hmm, last lifetime, I was an Olympian. This lifetime, I have, you know, whatever. A bad leg. Can I love myself even though I have a physical challenge? Can I let myself? We look at someone like Stephen Hawking. Somebody else would have said, well, the hell with it, I’m not even going to play. This guy was drooling, and yet he came up with the greatest ideas that any of us could even consider. He brought them to our attention. And yet he had a lot of challenges. 

Sometimes, sometimes that’s the game, right? Can I allow myself? Can I live with the fact that as a soul, I am perfect. Eternal, immortal, unlimited. That is all true. What is also true is as a human being, there’s an expiration date on a unit. That’s just the way it is. And so the record, like in my own work in the record, my second book is Healing Through the Akashic Records. So interesting to me, because in my own journey, I was like, you know, wait a minute, something’s wrong. 

See the first book I had the method. I thought “Hot dog, I’m done!” No. Then what happened is, you know, my father was dying. My son is growing up and I’m yelling at everyone and I don’t want to be, right? I’m like, oh, I’m supposed to be, you know, I think of myself as spiritual, but I keep falling short. And I would go into the records, Tom. It was crazy. I’d go into the records, I’d be like, “I need help. This is terrible.” And the records would be like, “It’s okay.” And I thought something is really wrong here. But what emerged after a couple of years, I really became aware that I was being led into an experience of unconditional self-love. Could I cut myself a break? Because berating myself was not causing the change. Right? There was a change I wanted. 

I was not living up to my own standards and expectations. And the old idea of these wounds, limitations, this is evidence that we’re not evolved. We’re unenlightened. Here in the west, we call it we’re sinners. I mean, it’s like, oh my God, this is bad. But from a records standpoint, that’s just not the case. It’s any vulnerabilities that we have that are like that are an opportunity to really learn how to be kind and honorable with ourselves as opposed to using our wounds as weapons. So it’s a complete change. And the other thing that really blew my mind. 

I came up in the spiritual world of the eighties and nineties and whatever the first 10 years of the century. Anyway, and I had the idea that if I were spiritual, I can bombard anything with light and change it. What I learned in the records, the records are a spiritual resource. Spiritual, it means love. It’s a dimension of a loving consciousness and to learn how to recognize and identify ourselves and our challenges from that point of view. Rather than trying to bombard them with superstitious ideas, you see, which I tried, but that didn’t help. So this actually caused, nobody’s been more surprised than myself. ‘Cause I thought, well, this is a bunch of hooey. And then I’ve done it. And it actually makes a world of difference.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah. Very cool. So if somebody is struggling with something like an illness, they can go to the Akashic records and sometimes they will get information that allows them to heal. Sometimes they’ll get information that will allow them just to be aware that this is maybe something that is helping them to grow or helping them become more loving or whatever else it might be, right?

Linda Howe

Absolutely. Absolutely. We begin to glimpse ourselves and our frailties through this lens right? Of unconditional love and respect. And so what looks like, oh my God, this is terrible. It might be uncomfortable. But actually maybe in this lifetime, maybe, I don’t know. It’s different for everybody. Maybe the point is to see, can I still be loving and generous with people, even though my back hurts? Do you know?

Tom McCarthy

Yeah.

Linda Howe

And a lot depends so much on what we’re here to do, the challenges we face. But really the first thing that has to go is the judgment.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah. And I think part of that is too, everybody has kind of their role models of success and what that looks like. And everybody thinks that their life is supposed to be like that, not knowing that that person that you think is so successful, have lots of challenges that you would never want, like an Oprah Winfrey. I mean, people, “I would love to be Oprah.” Okay. Really? Like when she was pregnant at age 13 and kicked out of her house, you’d want to be her then? And you know, all these different things that people, they don’t know about or they don’t realize. And so everybody has a unique life is what you’re saying that is special and unique to them. And so it’s not a contest. 

It’s not like, okay, I’m better than you. I’m not as good as you. Let’s see who lives longer. All these different things. It really is tapping into what is your unique purpose for this time you have in this body, on this planet and optimizing that and really being unconditionally loving, which is really, really cool. Hey, what is it like when you’re in the records? Like how do you… How do people, not just you, how do people receive this information? We already said it’s not like a golden book, page 37.

Linda Howe

Okay. So here’s the thing. What I teach, I teach this pathway prayer process, which is really, it’s like crazy. It’s a very simple prayer. And in the saying of the prayer, the practitioner experiences a slight shift in their perceptions. So, you know, your eyes, don’t roll back in your head. You’re not speaking with a fake accent, you know. There’s none of that. Okay? And you’re fully conscious. This is conscious, responsible, and deliberate. Like nobody can do this to you. I mean, you can get there yourself, but anyway, you get that. So because it’s about recognizing and really honoring the power within each individual soul, each individual being, okay? So there’s the saying of the prayer. And then what happens there is moving, it’s a subtle shift of awareness, where there is a sense of being in a sanctuary. Okay. Of really being known, right? Recognized, appreciated, understood like that. It’s a place of quiet for many people. It’s like tranquil, and serene like that. 

For others, it’s much more enthusiastic. Right? So that’s how that is. Now what’s interesting is that when we work in the records, the words we use to describe our experience are very visual words. We say things like, I see that, or like that. I see it, I glimpse that. I get that. But in fact, only 10% of the people who work in the records see images. That’s not many. So we have a hundred people, 10 of them will receive guidance through image. 5% will hear messages. The rest of us, 85 out of a hundred, will have a sense of knowing, which is really, you know, this is a soft science. 

So, you know, it’s not a hard science. So what happens is there’s a sense of something. And the only way, the way energy moves in the record, is on the formed word. So as I describe to you what it seems like, cause I don’t even know what I write, what it seems like, like, oh, you know, as I’m describing it, the energy moves. If I don’t describe it, it’s not like I can mentally send you a message because that will not move the energy. The energy moves on the formed word.

Tom McCarthy

And so when people are, so you can either have somebody work with you like you or people you’ve trained to go into your Akashic records, or you can, I know your pathway prayer, you make it available to everybody. And then obviously you’ve got books and classes for the pathway prayer. You can, I think it’s on your website, right?

Linda Howe

Right, right. It’s on the website, sure, sure, sure.

Tom McCarthy

What’s your website, really quick?

Linda Howe

LindaHowe.com.

Tom McCarthy

LindaHowe.com, you can get the pathway prayer there. And so when you’re doing it for yourself and you’re accessing the records, a couple things. One is I read in your book, it’s better to ask how, what, why questions than just yes or no questions.

Linda Howe

Right, right. Because this is not- This is a lousy source of fortune-telling or divination. It’s terrible.

Tom McCarthy

Because it’s all based upon what’s happened so far, right?

Linda Howe

Well, and not only that, like those questions, like the yes, no, and when, I mean time. Like who cares about time in the records? We’re talking about all time. Past, present and future. And so, so time just doesn’t… Like when we move from an ordinary state of awareness into the record, so many of our ordinary organizational principles just collapse. Because they’re like, whatever. Cause there’s only, right, there’s only now, which is a whole thing. But so… I’m lost. I’m like gone.

Tom McCarthy

The other thing I wanted to ask you was, when you’re doing it on your own and you’re accessing the records, you say the word, it moves energy. Do you suggest people write?

Linda Howe

I’ll tell you what. Some people actually like to make a recording.

Tom McCarthy

A recording? Okay.

Linda Howe

Some people do that. I don’t do that. I like to write. And the thing is when we work in our own record, it’s really different than if, like if I’m doing work in my own record, it’s going to be different than if I’m in your records. Right? I mean, there really is. There’s a relational difference. There’s a big difference. So the record is not magic, right? 

So if I have a burning question. Should I move cross country by the end of the week? I’ve never been in the record and I’m like, “Tell me, I need to know now!” This is a spiritual resource. This is not- you know, if you need that, get a pendulum. There are other things that will be, you’re going to get much better answers. ‘Cause see, the record is much more interested in who do I have to be to make that move? Do you see? What issues in my life do I have to resolve if I want to make the move? And is there some move I want to make? Or is it a move that my sister wants me to make? So we have the opportunity to really tell the truth about our own desires and motivations, right? 

So that’s like the first thing. And then to look, so what does have to happen? Oh, I have to forgive my ex. Oh, I have to take care of whatever with my neighbor. You know, there are things that have to happen in life. And the record doesn’t care if I do them this afternoon or in five years or next life. Makes no difference to the records.

Tom McCarthy

The record doesn’t judge. And the other question too is, so there are these, we have these, a record of our existence and even we can find out why we came into this body in this existence.

Linda Howe

Yes, yes, yes.

Tom McCarthy

But at the same time, I think I read that we also have free will, right? So how do those two components reconcile that? We came in here to kind of maybe go along this path, but we have free will. How does that all work?

Linda Howe

Okay. Okay. So within every path, in between incarnations, we have an opportunity to make some big selections, right? Like, oh, next time I’m going to be Linda and I’m going to live in Chicago, and like that. Right? And won’t that be fun? Yes. I guess so. Actually it is fun. But anyway, all right. Within the context of that, there are certain choices available to me. I am five foot two. I will never play for the NBA. Right. It’s just, okay. Does it mean I was bad or anything? No. It just means in this lifetime, that’s not on the menu. So where we have the most choice is when we’re selecting our identity and our family of origin, right? And then within that, within the scope of a lifetime, there are certain choices available to us. Now the record doesn’t care if I make the choice, I don’t know at 20 or 30, it makes no difference, right? Because time doesn’t matter. 

So we have things like that. And yet over the course of the soul’s journey as human, we will have every choice available to us, okay? So if we can think of it, I know that when I got that concept, it really helped me a lot because I too was caught in that, “But what is this free will?” And how does that work? It’s an interesting thing because in the record, it may be that I’m going to have a spiritual awakening while I’m on some tropical island. Okay? Let’s say in my early thirties or something. Now the record, from a record standpoint, if I’m in the Bahamas or somewhere in the Mediterranean, really doesn’t matter, do you understand? I mean, if it’s the condition on the island, that’s more important than the island itself.

Tom McCarthy

Okay, cool.

Linda Howe

So that’s really, you know… And sometimes people are like, “Oh, I need to move to New York City.” Well, what if they end up in London or Paris? And they find out they’re just thrilled to be there. And how come that is? They thought it was going to be New York. The fact is it was really what the record is suggesting is a large urban area with an international melting pot. That is as opposed to, you know, Overland Park, Kansas. Experientially, very, very different.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah. Interesting. What about relationships and things like that? Are there people that you come in with that you meet along the way that you’re supposed to meet and bond with?

Linda Howe

It’s all rigged.

Tom McCarthy

It’s all rigged?

Linda Howe

It’s all rigged. First of all, your first soul group, right? A soul group is a group of individuals who share the same spiritual intentions. Right? Okay. Everyone’s first soul group is the family of origin.

Tom McCarthy

Explain family of origin really quick.

Linda Howe

Family of origin, your parents, your siblings, the pod, the original group you come in with, right? That’s your family of origin. That’s your first soul group. Now a lot of people will say to me, “Oh, they’re Neanderthals. Blow them off.”

Tom McCarthy

They’re nothing like me, right?

Linda Howe

And that may be the case. Can you love yourself when you’re with people who do not get you? Can you treat yourself and others with respect? Can you let them be the way they are?

Tom McCarthy

Right.

Linda Howe

These are the challenges. I mean, nobody comes here to change anybody else. I’m sorry to say. I mean we don’t like it is somebody tries to change us and it’s not fair to do to others. So that’s the soul group, right? And over the course of our lives, depending on what we’re doing, we will encounter people that really give us a chance, bring to the surface those unresolved issues within us that empower us to love ourselves more than ever before. So there are people that we’ve been traveling with over many lifetimes, right? In a variety of configurations of relationships. So yes, this is absolutely the case.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah, okay. That’s fascinating. Very, very cool. So how do people find you if they want to work with you, Linda? And what are the ways they can work with you?

Linda Howe

Okay. So, okay. First and foremost, the website, the website, the website. LindaHowe.com. But if you go there, I mean you can always find out all the different things that are happening, right? So one of the things is I do work with people one-on-one where I open their records, okay? So that’s a possibility. Another possibility is I teach people, I train people. Part of my commitment is to provide outstanding training to anyone who’s looking for it. Cause you know, like our predecessors certainly don’t know how to connect with the records. Our kids don’t know, right? So it’s like, wait a minute. But we are the ones. And so once we know how to do it, we’ll know how to do it. Yeah? But everyone deserves to have really good and-

Tom McCarthy

Anybody that wants to can learn how to do it?

Linda Howe

Anybody who wants to. But you know what? Not everybody wants to.

Tom McCarthy

Not everybody wants to, yeah.

Linda Howe

I know that’s the key. Right? But people who really want to, can. Absolutely. It’s not magic. Right? This is not magic. It’s a practice. You practice, you grow into it. Okay. So I teach a series of certification classes. Practitioner, advanced practitioner, healing, soul’s path and soul’s purposes. So I’ve got a full range of classes that I teach online on demand. Everything’s online right now, right? Online, on demand. And then I also have people that I have trained as teachers. And we have certified teachers. We just graduated a group of 51 new teachers in Asia. 

Tom McCarthy

Wow. In Asia, wow.

Linda Howe

It’s very exciting. 

Tom McCarthy

Yeah. 

Linda Howe

Oh yeah. So, you know, this is like, “Ooh, I’m excited!” It’s cool. It’s a little crazy, but it’s cool. So we have the teachers though, people who who’ve trained with me and are certified to teach practitioner, advanced practitioner all way up, we have elite certified teachers who work with people at the most advanced levels and assist me in classes as well. We’ve got a full range of opportunities for learning in addition to the books I’ve written. I’ve got four books on the Akashic records. Do you know, I’m into these Audibles. Do you like the Audible?

Tom McCarthy

I do. My son is a huge fan. My wife has a huge fan. I like to read it, but the audible is really, really good.

Linda Howe

The Audible, yeah. Yeah. Well, do you know what? With this material, what’s great about the Audibles is because I lead people through all these different exercises.

Tom McCarthy

So it is good to have you led through in the Audible.

Linda Howe

So it’s really good because, well, I don’t know about you, but I would be like rating and then I put the book down and I try to say it.

Tom McCarthy

That makes sense, yeah.

Linda Howe

So it’s a much more fluid experience with the Audible. So there’s, but you know what? Everybody learns differently. And so there’s a lot of different ways to learn.

Tom McCarthy

That’s awesome.

Linda Howe

And people know when it’s time for their next step.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah. That’s great. So the website, LindaHowe.com, H O W E. Before I let you go, tell us about your new book. This new book is about manifesting.

Linda Howe

Oh!

Tom McCarthy

What does that mean?

Linda Howe

Here’s the idea of this book. Everybody, all the people who are attending this summit, everybody has their thing within that they really want to share with the world. Many of us have to fear that it’s not what the world wants. But with an Akashic perspective we recognize that what you want to give to the world is exactly what our world today needs. And to find it like one step at a time. If you can step forward a little bit, life will meet you and help you bring it forward. This is really bringing your soul’s purposes to life.

Tom McCarthy

That’s beautiful. That’s so wonderful, yeah.

Linda Howe

So that’s what it’s all about.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah. So just a couple of things. And then we’ll have you kind of give some final words. When you talk about the soul’s purpose, do we always fulfill the soul’s purpose? Or sometimes by choices or freewill. Maybe we don’t get there and we have to relearn.

Linda Howe

Ha ha ha ha ha! We always fulfill our purpose. The fundamental, the primary purpose is shared by all humans. And that is to expand our ability to love and respect ourselves. Cause we’re all moving into a state of unconditional self-love. That is the purpose of the soul’s journey as human, right? So some lifetimes, it looks like we’ve been real train wrecks. Some lifetimes are like that, right? I mean, you know this. It’s like, aye aye aye, what happened? Everything went wrong, or blah, blah, blah. The question is, can I love myself when I’m a failure? Can I treat myself with respect, even though I’ve made a thousand mistakes? How do I let myself stay in relationships with others when I know I’m painfully imperfect?

Tom McCarthy

Yeah.

Linda Howe

See, the soul’s purposes are spiritual. So we want to begin to think about like, what enables me, what activates that experience of love within me? Not, what can I get from you?

Tom McCarthy

Right.

Linda Howe

And we are unique individuals. Everybody has different ways that they know when they do that thing, when they’re involved with that thing, whatever it is, whether it’s ice skating, baking, standing on their heads, visiting the neighbors, I don’t know what it is, right? It’s like OMG. The infinite love within is unleashed and we’re flooded with it. That’s our soul’s purpose.

Tom McCarthy

That’s awesome. So beautiful!

Linda Howe

Yeah! You can’t not. We cannot mess this up. That’s something my grandmother would say.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah, you can’t mess it up. Maybe that’s your final words of wisdom that you share. You can’t mess it up. But what would you just, you know, quickly, any final parting thoughts or words of wisdom that you have for everybody watching right now? You’ve been amazing. How would you kind of cap it off? What would you tell them? What do you want to leave them with?

Linda Howe

Do you know, I just want everyone to know that there’s no accidents, right? That you really are supposed to be the human being you are in the place you are at this point in time. And who you are is exactly what the world needs. It’s a perfect fit. There’s precision in the universe. And so just, no matter what thoughts or opinions you have about yourself, don’t be fooled. You really are much greater than you ever thought you are. And even if you stumble along the way, there’s nothing that can damage the love that’s at the core of your being.

Tom McCarthy

Oh, that’s beautiful. Wow. I hope that made everybody feel really, really warm inside. Such beautiful words. Linda, you are amazing. Thank you so much for being with us. It really has been a great learning experience for me and I know everybody who watched it. Thank you so much.

Linda Howe

Oh, thank you. Thank you very much. It’s great to be here.
