About us
Welcome to the meetup Inner Selves for Outer Mastery!
My name is Carl Johann Schroeder. It is my joy to be a spiritual teacher and life coach with my own unique system for personal evolution that I call Inner Selves Mastery. Developed with my spirit guides over the past 35 years, the ideas and techniques really work to make sense of life, heal the past, and move us all forward in these great times of humanity's awakening. Wise and loving personal empowerment comes naturally from learning to clear the blockages and misunderstandings of the inner worlds, so we can thrive outwardly in divine creative partnership with our own soul, inner being, higher self, and life energy.
Every Sunday we offer a free talk on a spiritual topic with valuable insights you may find nowhere else. To support people in their personal growth with friendly community we also run dream groups every Monday, and mystical experience sharing groups on the 2nd and 3rd Tuesdays. Sign up on meetup to attend, register at http://www.signupism.com/ for our newsletter of more tips and events, and enjoy our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/InnerSelvesMastery
I have taught classes and facilitated groups for many years. This particular meetup started as a 2018 project to be more focused and informative, and since 2020 we've been weekly with material that continues to be developed for books and workshops. If you feel guided to be here I encourage you to explore and join us as often as you like. My philosophy comes from decades of journaling, dreamwork, meditation and mindfulness practices, spirit communication, and mystical experiences that draw upon many different spiritual traditions.
I remember several past lives in which I teach esoteric spiritual information, so this meetup represents my current lifetime's contribution to a greater soul misson. I also believe we're all here with wonderful gifts to share as we make friends and learn from one another. In the words of Ram Dass, we're all walking each other home. So I look forward to meeting you to exchange ideas and inspiration. Welcome!

Mystic Picnic! in-person, Raleigh area, last Saturdays
Lake Crabtree County Park, Gravel Parking Lot, 4200 Lake Crabtree Park, Morrisville, NC, USDo you enjoy spiritual growth? Are you having amazing experiences that you can’t talk about with most people? Join the club!
Every last Saturday at the Mystic Picnic from March to October, we create a safe fun outdoor space for meeting kindred souls and clarifying the concepts that set us free in these ascension times when the realities are so clearly diverging. Which parallel Earth are you from, and what are you here to do?
We share stories and support energy healing, psychic gifts, angels, nature spirits, ET helpers, reincarnation, lucid dreams, and so much more. We keep it real, grounded, positive, and heart-centered, so folks can bring their genuine concerns without the big conspiracies. I’ve experienced so many wonders myself, so I’ll be hosting a main circle for friendly discussions. There will be potluck food and a nice grassy field for activities.
Bring a chair if you have, plus food or drink you want to share. I’ll supply cups, plates, napkins and utensils, plus extra chairs and snacks. We meet at Lake Crabtree park off Route 40 between Durham and Raleigh, NC. Enter park from Aviation Parkway, proceed to first parking lot on right. If lot is full, drive to the next lot and walk back, or wait as people come and go frequently. You’ll see me with some chairs near the lot (I’ll get the best spot available)
Re-member. You matter. Time and space are rituals. You decide your own future. Your imagination is the doorway. Your consciousness creates your own reality.

Heal Emotional Bad Habits for the Good Life You Prefer
·OnlineOnlineYes, you have a codependent relationship with negativity that results in emotional bad habits that destroy your life. So what? Everyone has that stuff on Earth! This is a very polarized planet, which can inspire tremendously positive personal growth. Or not, if you choose to remain ignorant and follow bad leaders. What you need is learn to recognize and handle you own monster potentials so you can live happy ever after. Or don’t, and remain a wreck. Either way you won’t be lacking for company! If there’s one thing Earth is good at, it’s an abundance of whatever you expect to experience. So rest assured that whichever you favor-- miracles or misery -- the choice is so easy that you didn’t know you were already choosing it.
Join us this Sunday Sep 27, 2026 for a free liberating talk on how to change the habits that are killing you. We’re adults here, right? We can talk about current splitting realities without getting paranoid, dramatic, or defensively denying. Earth is on the brink of death or rebirth because the cycles are coming to a close. That’s just how nature must work, since you are an eternal consciousness. Folks who insist on remaining unconscious will experience an unconscious continuation of life, which means they die and then find out the truth. “Aww shucks, there’s an afterlife after all! I guess I didn’t have to live so fearfully.”
So even if you don’t know how life really works, you might want to consider Pascal’s wager. In the 1600’s French philosopher Blaise Pascal said look, it’s worth it to give God a chance to exist. If you’re atheist and wrong, then by opposing God you may have wrecked your own eternity. But if you’re theist and wrong, then believing in a God that doesn’t exist doesn’t lose much, just some idealism and charitable living. So what kind of gambler are you? Of course, we miss the point if by trying to please God then we join an obnoxious society that encourages toxic addictive behaviors like judgmentalism. Most religions start with someone nice like Jesus who makes great suggestions for better living, then rude people take over to justify their inner monster. As Shakespeare said, “The devil can quote scriptures for his own purposes.”
Fortunately, with Earth 1.0 coming to a close we get plenty of lifestyle examples to draw upon for confident conclusions. Like the Dalai Lama says, “If you can’t help people, at least don’t hurt them.” And yet so many people choose to hurt each other! Why? Some folks like to say that humanity is evil and should be destroyed. Presumably they’ll enjoy their judgmentalism until the Earth dies with them on it. Don’t worry though, you don’t have to join them if you change your own bad habits. Reality is a multiverse with endless parallel Earths that survive and thrive. It’s just how higher dimensions work, with every branching possibility existing before the timeline that your current life story lands you in. The more you examine your habitual lifestyle choices, the more you can change your whole life “just in time”.
The more charitable view of humanity is that everyone is just doing the best they can. Be kind, you don’t know what burdens people carry. Ok, but I say people just do the best they think they can. You can always do better if you think you can, and you can’t do what you think is impossible. This is your power to choose beliefs. Positive beliefs support you in always becoming a better person on your own happy ever after timeline. Negative beliefs make you think you’re always failing, so you struggle, suffer, react badly, and become your own worst enemy. God is the direction of eternal positive life energy. The devil is your inner monster that pushes for the worst habits to wreck your life. Either way you get lots of company, so living in heaven or hell is up to you.
For this meetup, make a list of habits that you think are bad and need to change. Review the list to feel the deeper judgments going on. After all, what matters in life isn’t what you have, it’s how you use it. Positive energy makes you feel positive and hopeful, negative makes you feel negative and hopeless. You’ll see how life really works with your own higher plans to incarnate on Earth for lessons in loving self-creatorship. We’ll review common negative choice patterns in human society, and see how easy habits are to change with self-acceptance for the self-esteem that inherits more divine self-worth. We conclude with a guided meditation to forgive and replace old habits with new joys of working with your higher self and soul family.
Welcome! Our Inner Selves Mastery spiritual support group is free online every Sunday 11am-130pm EDT, with the last 30 minutes for a guided meditation. If you can’t stay you can get the recording.
