Olga Karpman: Some people come into your life to comfort you, and others come to wake you up. This episode is about the second kind. Welcome back, my friends. Last Monday, we touched something very deep, the deep unknown, to be exact, and we met our own mask, the one I call the Seeker in the Unmasked Method. This mask, this persona of you, if you choose to accept it, is deeply curious about the unseen territory of the enigma.
Olga Karpman: She constantly asks questions, what lies beneath the surface, what the enigma really is, and how she can access it. If you haven't listened to that episode yet, please go back to olgakarpman.com/008 and start there, or even a few episodes earlier, where I talk about the dark night of the soul and I walk you through a guided process for learning how to simply observe your feelings and everything that's happening in your life, your energy, and your mind.
Olga Karpman: So please check out the links in the description. You'll find everything there. This episode picks up exactly where it left off. And if you have, then you already know I made you a promise. I told you no one climbs that mountain alone, so let's continue this journey together because there is someone showing up in your life right now who isn't there to make things easier.
Olga Karpman: Maybe they already showed up. You know better. They're there to wake something up in you that's been asleep for a very long time. I call them an activator, and once you understand what they're really doing there, you'll never look at the relationship the same way again. Let's go there together and explore who they are, what they need, what they want, and why they showed up in your life at that exact moment.
Olga Karpman: And as my appreciation to you for staying till the very end of this episode, I'll explain how you can cut energetic cords with these people around you so you can either take this relationship to the next level or say your physical and energetic farewell. Deal? Let's do this. Welcome to episode 009.
Olga Karpman: Let's go even deeper
Olga Karpman: Welcome to Unmasked. I'm Olga Karpman. This is the show about what lies beneath. Welcome back, my beautiful soul friend. Before we go further, I want to ask you one huge favor. It's small for you, but very, very big for us. My team mentioned that most people listening to our show unfortunately aren't subscribed.
Olga Karpman: Can you please, please, please take a second and hit that subscribe button now on any platform you're watching us or listening us on? It's truly meaningful to me personally and to our team because we see each subscribe as a real person, a real story behind that small action, and we are committed to bringing you the best tools and the best people on your soul journey so we can continue growing and evolving together, and we together create worldwide tribe community.
Olga Karpman: Okay? Do this now, and let's get started Today, as I promised, we're talking about the activators. Who are they, and why am I bringing this subject in as one of the first concepts in the Unmasked Method and here in this series? Let me explain. Remember how in my last episode I told you about old reality dissolving itself?
Olga Karpman: And in the old reality, we used to learn from teachers, gurus, authorities, and for a very long time we put someone on a pedestal, worshiping them, admiring them, looking up to them. And that really worked for years and years, and it worked for old system. But now, as you know from the previous episode again, because we're going into new reality, new world, new frequencies, that's very slippery slope in the new reality because our human minds love to create illusions, and the new world is all about feelings, not illusions of our mind.
Olga Karpman: Often, if we like someone enough and we think they're really good at something, like with influencers, for example, we'd create an illusion that this person was our ideal. This is how we want to look or sound or be, especially with the social media around us. And then they'd show their human self, not as perfect as they pretended to be, not as authentic and coherent as they'd love to be, or as they'd been s- shown to us.
Olga Karpman: And then from that disappointment, the pyramid and that person's business would collapse in our eyes, not because we can't accept imperfection, but because we can't handle it when our illusion collapse. That's a topic for another episode. If you're interested, let me know in the comments, and we'll uncover that, too.
Olga Karpman: Illusion is a big, big part of what we are uncovering here and where we live right now a lot of times. So the old modality started collapsing energetically. The space can't stay empty. If something collapses, something leaves, something else needs to replace it. So instead of gurus and teachers and influencers for highly conscious people like you and me, we started needing activators.
Olga Karpman: An activator is a person, sometimes brand-new person, sometimes someone who's been in your life for years, someone you haven't seen in a while, but someone who is also consciously and spiritually vibrating in high frequency, who suddenly circles back and lands completely differently than they ever did before.
Olga Karpman: It might be romantic, it might not, and it really has much to do with whatever your life looks stable on paper: married, single, happy or restless. This person shows up when your soul is ready on its own timeline, whenever or not the rest of your life agreed to it I hear very different terms for that person online right now, a twin flame, soul awakener, or someone else.
Olga Karpman: But the point is that this person shows up, and your life, your whole life, and the model of the world as you've known it, or illusion of it, flips upside down, and sideways, and back and forth. It's so sudden and confusing that lots of people just lose it right there. I think of it like two caterpillars meeting in the forest.
Olga Karpman: Neither one knows yet what's about to happen to them. They're just caterpillars going about their day. But the forest, which used to feel like the whole world, has started to feel small all of a sudden, too familiar, like you've walked every path in it already, and something in you is restless within it, even though nothing you can point to has actually changed.
Olga Karpman: By communicating with this other person, you realize your paths have crazy similarities, as if one story was written the same way for two people. Crazy synchronicities show up in your life as if one soul was split into two halves and placed in different parts of the world for you two to meet when you're ready.
Olga Karpman: So once you finally realize this is happening, both caterpillars, both activators, will first be very curious because they both feel it, and they know it can't just be coincidence. Then they're intrigued. Then they move towards each other. Then they become terrified of what they did, and then they'll try to pull away from each other, going deep under the surface of fun and joy.
Olga Karpman: Then they both meet their shadows separately from each other. Then they won't even communicate, but they still feel each other's presence very strongly. Have you already met someone like this in your life? Please share. Tell me you did, because otherwise, you wouldn't be here. That meeting is not for the weak, right?
Olga Karpman: So when your souls meet, not on human levels, but the spiritual levels, they both know they're each other's activators, and they're bound to each other's spirituality, just like two alpinists climbing a mountain together. Remember this analogy from our previous episode? They need each other for support and safety, and can't let go of each other, at least not in the higher realms.
Olga Karpman: You know, just like that MJ song, um, they kn- they know it's not right, but whatever happens, don't let go of my hand So whatever you've met, your activator or not, don't freak out. If you are in the middle of it right now, just keep going, directing your attention back to your core, back to your center, whatever happens.
Olga Karpman: Together, you'll go through many stages of ego death and life changes. There will be insane soul aches, as if something is opening you from inside out, then shock, then confusion, then insane love, the kind you've never, ever experienced in your life. Then you'll go through lies, accepting the truth, breaking the illusions.
Olga Karpman: You'll question your values, your certainty, your sanity, and the story you'd build about who you are and what you need. And the strange part is, while it's all happening, you won't know you are becoming anything. You'll just feel you are dying, slowly but surely, and it won't feel like your regular heartbreak.
Olga Karpman: No, this is the complete death of your old self, and it's very, very painful for your soul and for your body, physically painful, and you'll feel it on a physical level in other areas of your life as well. I've watched this happen closely with people I've worked with, people that I love, women whose lives look complete from the outside, happily married, successful, nothing visibly wrong.
Olga Karpman: Then this activator arrives and everything they thought they'd settle starts moving again. The same with insanely successful men who had it all: business, family, kids, career, finances, and yet they'd meet their activator, and it's like all hell breaks loose, and the whole life and career turns upside down, and in some cases collapses.
Olga Karpman: The reason I'm sharing this is to let you know that you're not alone if you're going through this journey right now, and there are many, many people who walked that path before you. So just believe that this is part of the journey, and you're gonna be okay, but you have to keep going. And if you're feeling insane pain or doubts or would like to talk to me or work with me one-on-one or in a group setting, uh, please reach out to us.
Olga Karpman: You can fill out the form olgakarpman.com/tribe and indicate your preference of guidance, and we will go from there. My team will reach out to you. We won't leave you alone because this part of the journey is particularly lonely. You'll start questioning yourself, questioning them, questioning your whole existence, and in some cases it gets even scarier.
Olga Karpman: You'll hurt your closest people along the way. Hopefully not physically, spiritually, unintentionally. So some part of you may want to burn everything down and start over, and some part wants to never wake up. Some days you'll want to hold on tight to what's left of your old life because at that point it's very scary and uncertain in the great unknown.
Olga Karpman: But here is the part you can't see while you are in this process. If you break everything around you, it doesn't mean you'll find yourself in it. You're still a caterpillar going through the process of becoming a butterfly, and the activator is just that, an activator of your catalyst process, but they are not going through it for you, only you, only your soul, only your spirit and God.
Olga Karpman: So let's name it plainly because I don't want you walking away from this episode remembering only the pain of it. An activator has one job: to interrupt the version of you that's gone stale gently or not so gently, and hand you back the parts of yourself you'd stop looking at, the wounds you'd normalize, the smallness you'd gotten comfortable in, the role you'd been playing so long you've forgotten it was a role.
Olga Karpman: They didn't come to complete you. They came to return you to you. That's the whole purpose of an activator. Everything else, the chemistry, the timing, the ache is just the mechanism of your soul used to get your attention. Did you hear me? That's why one of the strongest and truest things you can do on this journey for yourself, for your soul, and for your evolution is to turn to God.
Olga Karpman: In your thoughts, in your heart, in your prayers, through songs, through nature, through art, through the sun, God is everywhere, literally. Get down on your knees, literally or figuratively, and say, "Here I am. Dear Father God, I can't do this alone anymore. I don't want to go through this alone anymore. Please take me, guide me, and light this path for me."
Olga Karpman: Feel it in your heart, in your body, in your environment, and pray daily just the best you can For some of us, prayer is in words. For some of us, it's in music. For some of us, it's in the sound of the ocean, in a sunset, sunrise, in a breath you take, in the kids' smiles, and hugs to others. There is no right or wrong when you talk to God.
Olga Karpman: Choose your own style, whatever works for you, and you'll know it. Yes, speaking to God directly is the way to go on this journey at this stage. And just keep in mind, I'm not a religious person at all. I was born into Orthodox Christian-oriented culture in Soviet Union and Russia, grew up reading spiritual books in my teen years, and old wisdoms, then moved to United States and started going to the spiritual Agape Church, which means love.
Olga Karpman: I met and married my Jewish husband, and we celebrate few high holidays with his family. My kids are bat mitzvah-ed, and I practice spirituality. I'm interested in Buddhism, studying the Bible, Torah. I'm curious about everything, and million other things along the way, all to understand what lies beneath it all.
Olga Karpman: So I'm not religious person, and I'm not talking about praying t- to God necessarily in the church or this way or the other way. It's more about turning in within and to God within you because, with all due respect to all religions and their participants, prayer is not a religious act, for me at least.
Olga Karpman: It's an intimate conversation with God directly, with your high self, as an energy of love moves through you and as a presence, as a source of everything in this and many other existences. It's the deep unknown. It's the enigma we talked about in the last episode. So please find your own way of communicating with God and start opening your heart to its always loving and always accepting energy.
Olga Karpman: No matter your background, your beliefs, your deeds, you are loved, and you are accepted always, especially if you find yourself in situation involving your own activator. Speaking of which, I want to ask you, have you met them yet? What did meeting them make you see about version of yourself? What are you questioning right now about yourself and about them?
Olga Karpman: What is stirring in your soul? I genuinely would like to know. Please, please, please share in the comments below. I read all the comments personally, and I tune into your energy and respond to your questions directly or indirectly in my next episodes. And that's what I wanted to share about activators today.
Olga Karpman: But before we close this episode, I want to leave you with just one of those questions, the same way I left you with one last week. If this experience with an activator, if you met one already, became a mirror reflecting your desires, your wounds, your childhood, the places you learned to protect yourself a long time ago, what is it actually showing you underneath the relationship itself?
Olga Karpman: Rewind if you have to. Listen to it again. Sit with this question and observe what comes next. Also, for this week's integration, I invite you to start working through your activator if one has already shown up in your life. Remember, it can be anyone: your spouse, friend, your kids, in-laws, lost friend, an animal, your ex, anyone or anything alive or not alive, someone who you know brings you these spiritual lessons, whether by pushing you to your limits or by bringing you the most ecstatic love you've ever experienced.
Olga Karpman: Think of that activator right now And don't try to figure them out. Don't try to rehearse what they did or what they said. Just notice where they land in your body. Is it in your chest, in your head, in your stomach, the lower parts of your body, your arms, your heart? Wherever it shows, notice it. Got it?
Olga Karpman: Okay. Now, if you thought about that person or not a person, energy, start observing what's happening. Don't analyze it, don't talk, just stay silent. Let them talk. Practice staying in your center and don't react. Just observe, scanning your body from head to toe what's happening. Don't perform. If you catch yourself doing it, stop yourself, and keep repeating, "I am just observing."
Olga Karpman: And remember, if you need a bit of guided process on learning how to observe, go to olgakarpman.com/003. You will have that process right there. I'm just observing. Practice it with relationship of your activator. Okay? And if you haven't already downloaded Seven Mask Guide, it's also there. Links below in the description, or just simply go to olgakarpman.com/7masks.
Olga Karpman: Why I'm saying this? Because your activator in you will go through the stages of discovering your new personas or old personas, the masks. So you'll find out all the masks, all the description of the masks, what they mean, and the questions you'd like to ask yourself on this journey. Remember to come back here every Monday.
Olga Karpman: Each week we'll take one thing that may be surfacing in your life on this journey and look underneath it together, and I'll be unpacking slowly but surely more and more information, finding the right words for it. And if something resonates deeply, but you don't know fully what that means yet, please don't hesitate to ask in the comments.
Olga Karpman: There are no uncomfortable questions and no shameful topics. There's just not enough willingness to look even deeper. Of course, I might not know the answers to your questions. I am not a guru, not teacher. I just happen to have gone a bit earlier through what you're experiencing right now, and I was opened up to higher wisdom and knowledge that I now channel for people like you and me Personally, me, myself, I, sometimes I write these episodes, I say things, and I'm like, "Whoa, where'd that came from?"
Olga Karpman: So it's not even my words a lot of times. It's coming through me. So in simple words, I'm trying to put this into language and give this process a more human form, because it's a lot to unpack and a lot to comprehend, and I know you struggle sometimes with the explanation. Trust me, me too. I struggle sometimes with how to not put all of it together and how to put it in bits and pieces like a puzzle so we together can all understand all of this, right?
Olga Karpman: I've been exactly where you are right now, and I couldn't find people who would explain it to me or point me in the right direction or guide me through this process. So it took me a long time to find all the pieces, and I'm not sure if they, they're all, all for what I've been through but definitely not all.
Olga Karpman: But I was fortunate enough to eventually find the guides, physical guides. So if I can be your guide in any form, shape, uh, on this journey, um, just energetically, spiritually, physically, please use this opportunity. Uh, also tune in and come back for more episodes with my guests. I pick them specifically to uncover different stages of this journey that you're going through.
Olga Karpman: It's not random, and it's all guided experience. So stay with us. So next Monday, we're going even deeper into what happens in your life after the activator shows up, in your emotional, physical health, your relationship, and overall in questioning your existence in all the world, because meeting them is only the beginning.
Olga Karpman: The real work is learning to trust the flow of what's been unlocked in you, instead of trying to control it constantly with your mind, predict it, or shut it back down. There is a part of that most people get completely wrong, and I want to uncover it for you. So stay tuned, subscribe, and come back for the next week's episode.
Olga Karpman: Promise, I'll be waiting for you, okay? And before we go today, here is what I told you I'm gonna give you about the cord and energy-cutting process. How to cut an energetic cord with your activator, whatever you're releasing them or clearing the ground, so the two of you can meet each other new, as a new frequency.
Olga Karpman: Find a quiet moment this week, somewhere no one will interrupt you. Sit or lie down, something solid under you, the floor, the earth, chair that holds your weight. Close your eyes, breathe in for four, release for eight. Do that three times until your body drops. Then bring your activator to mind. Not the story of them, not the last conversation, not what they said or they did, just their presence.
Olga Karpman: Let them appear in front of you, in your mind's eye, however they show up. And notice the cord between two of you. It's already there. It has been since the day you met. Whenever either of you named it or not, but it's there. Some of you will feel it low in the belly, some in the chest, some in the throat, wrapped around the spine, anywhere in your body, it's fine.
Olga Karpman: Don't judge it. It's not there for the wrong experience. It did its job. Now, ask yourself the only question that matters here. Is this a cord you're ready to release completely, or one you want to keep, just rebuild on cleaner terms? If you're releasing them, say it out loud or in your heart, "I release you with love.
Olga Karpman: You served your purpose, and so did I. I return your energy to you, and I take mine back." Picture the cord dissolving, not torn, just dissolving, like it's returning to light. Thank them. Thank yourself. Let your hands move if you want to. Open them, palms up, real gesture of letting go. Let the energy settle back in your body and see only your energy.
Olga Karpman: And if you're keeping them, but choosing a new cord, say instead, "I release the old cord between us, the one built of fear, on urgency, on control. I choose to build a new one based on truth, on freedom, on what we're both becoming." Picture that old cord dissolving, and only if it feels true in your body, don't force it, picture new thread of light forming between you two.
Olga Karpman: Thinner, cleaner, chosen this time instead of unconscious. Either way, close with your hand on your heart. Thank you, God, for this soul and for what they woke up in me. Whatever happens next, I don't walk it alone. That's it. No candles required, no altar, nothing extraordinary. Just few minutes for yourself in a quiet space, you and God and higher spirit That's all for today, my friends.
Olga Karpman: I hope you enjoyed this episode. I hope you got something for yourself for this process, and I am very, very honored to be here with you on this journey, and I'm looking forward to our next episode. So please make sure to check out all the links below this episode for processes, and if you do need this process, of cord-cutting process as a practice, please also let me know in the comments, and I'll do my best to record it soon for you.
Olga Karpman: All right. See you in the next episode, and until then, stay in your own enigma.
