INSIGHT

Seniority Means Soul First

Jim Fortin defines spiritual seniority as knowing you are first a spiritual essence in a human body, not primarily your 3D identity.
Identifying with the ego and the body blinds you to higher layers of awareness and guidance.

INSIGHT

Two Identities Shape Experience

Living from the 3D container limits your capacity to process spiritual experience accurately.
Your spiritual essence can be present but filtered and constrained by ego identity.

ADVICE

Stop Your World First

To change yourself, first "stop your world" by reducing external input and stimulation.
Stopping the world lets you change internally, which then enables changing the external world.

In this profound continuation of the Shaman’s Tips for an Amazing 2026 series, Jim dives into the core teaching behind spiritual seniority—our true source of power, clarity, and creation. He explains why most people unknowingly give their seniority away by living entirely from their 3D identity and absorbing noise from the external world. Through stories, shamanic teachings, and real-life examples, Jim shows how forgetting who we are at the soul-level disconnects us from guidance, peace, and our ability to create an extraordinary life.

Jim goes deeper into how the modern world has pulled us out of our center: social media, the 24/7 news cycle, hyperstimulation, and constant mental activity hijack attention and weaken our spiritual awareness. He shows how reclaiming seniority begins by stopping “the world”—reducing external input, grounding, getting quiet, and reconnecting to the silent intelligence within. This is the foundation for aligning with your spiritual essence and shaping 2026 from a place of inner authority.

If you're ready to step out of mental chaos, reclaim your power, and access deeper guidance, this episode will help you return to your true nature. Seniority isn't something you earn—it’s something you remember. And when you remember it, everything in your external life begins to change.

Transformational Takeaway

Your seniority isn’t lost—it's simply buried under noise, distraction, and over-identification with your 3D identity. When you stop the external world long enough to sit in silence, you open the door to guidance, healing, and deeper truth. Reclaim your power by turning inward. Remove the noise for 30 days, reconnect with the stillness within you, and you’ll rediscover the spiritual authority you’ve carried across lifetimes. From that place, 2026 becomes a year you create—not a year that happens to you.
