785 - When Truth Becomes a Bridge Instead of a Blade

In this episode, I continue what I began back in Episode 783 — taking a second look at recent conversations I’ve shared here on The Cliff Ravenscraft Show, but this time covering Episodes 777 through 782.

If you listened to Episode 783, you know my original point was that you don’t have to wait until you’re perfect to publish, speak, or serve. But there was another layer — the way I regularly pause to do Higher Self reflections, asking, “Is what I said here true? Is it aligned with my highest values? Does it reflect how I want to show up in the world?”

In this session, I share not only the original show notes for each episode but also the Higher Self feedback I received, plus my own real-time reactions. You’ll hear:

• Why the word illusion can sometimes land like a blade instead of a bridge, and how I’m learning to use it in a way that honors the journey it once protected.
• The three-step framework I now keep handy for calling out limiting beliefs with truth and compassion.
• How an offhand phrase like “blah, blah, blah” or “it’s called slavery” can unintentionally diminish someone’s chosen path — and what I’ll say instead going forward.
• The surprising insight that “should” quietly reinforces control and judgment, and how I’m removing it from my vocabulary.
• Why my beloved radio dial metaphor just got a major upgrade — and how the “wideband awareness” version helps us hold every thought without suppression.
• The difference between rebellion rooted in ego and freedom rooted in love — and where I caught myself in the former.
• The subtle ways I sometimes over-explain or downplay the depth of a moment, and how I’m leaning into speaking from certainty without apology.
• How a single story, told at the wrong energetic moment, can shift the flow of a conversation — and my plan for greater attunement.

This is more than a review of past episodes. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at my own ongoing refinement as a coach, storyteller, and soul-based guide. You’ll hear me celebrate the moments of deep alignment and own the spots where I missed, all in real time.

If you’ve ever wanted to see exactly how I use reflection to grow — and how you can do the same in your own conversations — this episode is a masterclass in integration.
