What is a spiritual awakening, and why does it feel like everything you once knew is shifting beneath your feet? If you’re asking this question, you’re likely experiencing the inexplicable pull toward something greater than yourself—the questions that won’t quiet, the sense that life holds more meaning than what you’ve been taught. You’re not alone in this transformation.
A spiritual awakening represents a fundamental shift in how you perceive yourself, reality, and your place in the universe. It’s the moment you begin to recognize that you are more than your physical body, more than your thoughts, and infinitely more than the limiting beliefs you’ve carried. This transformation isn’t just intellectual—it’s experiential, touching every dimension of your being.
Understanding the Different Types of Spiritual Awakening
Spiritual awakening isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience. Just as we each walk our own path, our awakening unfolds uniquely. Let me share what I’ve learned through years of research and my own spiritual journey exploring consciousness shifts with higher spiritual beings.
Energy Awakening: Feeling the Shift
An energy awakening happens when you become aware of yourself as an energetic being. You might suddenly feel sensations you’ve never noticed before—tingling in your body during meditation, awareness of your own vibration, or sensitivity to the energy of places and people. This type of awakening opens you to the truth that everything is energy, including you.
Some people experience this type of awakening through physical sensations, such as waves of energy moving through their bodies. These aren’t random sensations—they’re your consciousness expanding beyond the physical dimension.
Mind Awakening: The Aha Moments
A mind-opening experience arrives as an intellectual shift —an aha moment that changes how you understand the world. You might suddenly recognize patterns of synchronicity in your life, see connections between seemingly unrelated events, or grasp a spiritual concept that had previously eluded you.
These moments of clarity can feel like puzzle pieces clicking into place. The universe begins speaking to you through signs, serendipities, and meaningful coincidences. What once seemed random now reveals itself as a language of guidance from something greater than yourself.
Personality Awakening: Becoming Authentic
When you experience a personality awakening, your behaviors, thoughts, and emotions shift substantially. You identify patterns that no longer serve your highest good and discover new ways of being that feel more aligned with your true self. This awakening process often leads people to change careers, relationships, or entire life paths.
The personality awakening invites you to live more authentically. You stop pretending. You release the masks you’ve worn to fit in or please others—what Eckhart Tolle describes in A New Earth as moving beyond the ego’s false identification with form. This transformation can be uncomfortable, but it leads to genuine freedom—the freedom to be exactly who you were meant to be.
Soul Awakening: Connecting with Your Higher Self
A soul awakening represents the deepest transformation. In this experience, which can happen suddenly or unfold gradually, you recognize yourself as divine—an expression of Source Energy. You connect with your Higher Self (your soul) and begin to perceive reality from this elevated perspective.
When truly awakening at the soul level, you penetrate the veil that has shielded you from the Truth of who you are. You’re not separate from Source Consciousness—you ARE Source Consciousness having a human experience. This realization changes everything.
The Higher Level of Awakening: Becoming an Energetic Conduit
There’s something beyond these individual awakenings that humanity needs to understand right now. It’s what I call the higher level of awakening—and it’s what will trigger the greater shift our planet needs today.
When you awaken at this level, you recognize yourself as an energetic conduit. You understand that you can consciously work with energy to create, manifest, and serve humanity’s evolution. This isn’t just knowing you’re energetic—it’s actively using that knowledge to participate in the consciousness shift happening on Earth.
The higher-level awakening requires faith. Not belief, but faith—a deep inner knowing that what you seek already exists within you. Cerian, a sixteenth-dimension collective consciousness I’ve worked with through psychic medium Shauna Kalicki, emphasizes this: “Without faith, one won’t awaken.” This faith is more powerful than any belief system because it comes from direct experience of your divine nature.
Some speculate that the center of faith is the pineal gland in the middle of the brain. When you focus on this area during meditation, you may open to spiritual faith—the kind that accomplishes miracles.
The Stages of Awakening: Your Hero's Journey
Spiritual awakening follows a pattern similar to the hero’s journey. You receive a call (often during a crisis, a dark night of the soul or due to dissatisfaction with life). You may refuse the call initially. Eventually, you accept and begin your quest. Along the way, you face challenges, gain allies, confront your shadow, and ultimately return transformed.
Think of awakening like a butterfly’s transformation. The caterpillar doesn’t know it will become a butterfly. It simply follows an inner knowing that leads it to create a cocoon. Inside that cocoon, everything the caterpillar knew dissolves. Only then can the butterfly emerge—completely transformed, capable of flight, experiencing life from an entirely new dimension.
Your awakening is no different. The life you knew may need to dissolve so that your true self can emerge. This process isn’t comfortable, but it’s necessary for transformation.
Awakening to Your Divine Blueprint
Each person carries what Mother Mary (channeled through Shauna Kalicki) calls your Divine Blueprint—a unique energetic template for your life purpose and highest expression. As Mother Mary shared, “The game is to live the blueprint written for you long ago before you incarnated. Every individual must live their Truth, their Higher Self, their blueprint.”
Your Divine Blueprint was written before you incarnated, containing everything you need to know about why you’re here and what you came to do.
To achieve the dimensional shift many are experiencing (moving from 3D consciousness to 5D consciousness), you must live your Divine Blueprint. But here’s the key: you can only access and live this blueprint after awakening to your sovereignty.
Cerian has taught me that without awakening, you don’t know that you’re sovereign. Sovereignty means recognizing that you are a creator, a divine expression of Source Energy with free will. No one controls you unless you give them that power. You choose your reality through your thoughts, beliefs, and actions.
When you truly awaken to this truth, you can consciously choose whether to live your Divine Blueprint or not. This is the power—and the responsibility—of awakening.
Signs You're Experiencing a Spiritual Awakening
How do you know if you’re awakening? Here are some common indicators I’ve observed both personally and through my work with Daniel (a nonspeaking autistic man who is an Ethereal Autist and teacher) and other higher spiritual beings:
You question everything you once believed about reality. The rules you followed no longer make sense. You feel compelled to seek deeper truth beyond what mainstream culture offers.
You notice synchronicities becoming more frequent. The universe seems to send you messages through numbers, songs, and conversations that appear at exactly the right moment. I wrote extensively about this in my book Lifesigns: Tapping the Power of Synchronicity, Serendipity and Miracles, where I share how to develop a dialog with the universe.
You feel increasingly sensitive to energy. Crowds might drain you. Certain places feel uncomfortable, while others uplift you. You can sense when someone isn’t being authentic.
You experience a growing desire for solitude and introspection. Time alone becomes necessary for processing the changes happening within you.
Your relationships shift. People who once felt aligned may fall away, while new connections with like-minded individuals emerge.
You feel called to serve humanity in some way. Purpose of life becomes more important than comfort or conventional success.
The Game of Life and Your Role in Humanity's Evolution
Here’s something most spiritual teachings won’t tell you—something Cerian, Daniel, and Mother Mary revealed to me: life is a game. Not a meaningless game, but an experiment we created as Source Consciousness to see if we could penetrate the veil that obscures our true nature after achieving physicality.
As Daniel wrote in the foreword to Gods in the Game, his message was simply: “dead game.” When I asked him to expand, he explained: “Think of it as going into a new phase. The game is coming to an end. The next step in our evolution has new rules, new twists and turns.”
You are a God in this game. You chose to be here during this incredible time of planetary shift. You volunteered to forget who you were so you could remember again—and in that remembering, help others awaken too.
The question the game poses is: After achieving physical form and losing memory of being Source, can we penetrate the veil? And when given a choice between remaining in dense 3D consciousness or shifting to higher dimensions, what will we choose?
Cerian explains that when you awaken and recognize you’re an energetic conduit, you face a choice. You can work with Light and Consciousness to help humanity, or you can choose differently. Because we have free will, we get to decide. As Cerian says, “You must first awaken to recognize you have a Divine Blueprint, and you have a choice. And that’s really what this is all about right now.”
This evolutionary path we’re on isn’t just individual—it’s collective. For humanity to achieve the planetary shift, individuals must awaken first. As more people remember their divine nature and live their truth, we reach a critical mass that triggers a greater awakening across the planet.
Practical Steps for Your Awakening Journey
Awakening is not something you force. As Cerian advises, “Do not try to awaken. Just do.” You allow. You trust. And some practices support the process:
Develop your faith. Not religious belief, but deep spiritual faith—the inner knowing that you already possess everything you seek. Focus on your pineal gland (the center of your brain) to open to spiritual faith. Remember Cerian’s teaching: “The awareness of the faith of the mustard seed is truly what it is. Humanity does not have faith that they can do it.”
Meditate regularly. Meditation quiets the mind and creates space for your Higher Self to communicate. Even ten minutes a day makes a difference.
Pay attention to signs. The universe constantly communicates through synchronicities, serendipities, and symbols. Notice them. Follow them. They’re guideposts on your journey. In Lifesigns, I share a five-step process for developing this dialog with the universe.
Question everything. Don’t accept teachings blindly, even the ones I’m sharing. Take what resonates and leave the rest. Your truth is yours alone.
Find your tribe. Community matters. As Cerian emphasizes, working together in a community consciously is critical to achieving a new level. Surround yourself with others who share your values and are on a similar path. Like-minded energy amplifies awakening.
Honor your authenticity. Stop pretending to be someone you’re not. Express your truth, even when it’s uncomfortable. Authenticity is essential for living your Divine Blueprint.
The New Earth and What Awaits
The awakening happening individually across our planet serves a greater purpose—the shift to what many call the New Earth. This isn’t a physical place we go to. It’s a state of consciousness, a frequency we embody.
In 5D consciousness, you experience Unity instead of duality. Love instead of fear. Creation instead of limitation. You recognize your connection to all life and live from heart-centered awareness rather than ego-driven thinking.
Cerian shared with me: “When a majority on this planet, and not just humanity but all sentient beings, are vibrating or working together, collectively, there will be a shift.”
Not everyone will make this shift, and that’s okay. There’s no judgment in choosing to remain in 3D consciousness. As Daniel and Cerian both emphasize, the game has no winners or losers—only experiences. We’re all on our own evolutionary paths, experiencing exactly what we need for our soul’s growth.
Your Awakening Matters More Than You Know
If you’re reading this and something inside you is saying “yes,” trust that response. Your awakening isn’t just for you. Every person who awakens raises the frequency of the entire planet. Your transformation creates ripples that touch lives you’ll never meet.
The work I’ve shared in my books came through years of learning from higher spiritual beings. Since 2011, I’ve been on a journey learning about Pure Autism—highly evolved souls who incarnated with autism to serve humanity’s evolution. Daniel is one of these Ethereal Autists. I’ve also worked extensively with Shauna Kalicki, a psychic medium and ceremonialist who channels Cerian (a sixteenth-dimension collective), Mother Mary, and other Ascended Masters.
These beings have never asked to be followed. They’ve never demanded anything from anyone. They’re here serving us because they love us. The truths they’ve shared—revealed in Gods in the Game, Destination New Earth, and the visionary fiction novel The Unsuspected Heroes—are what humanity needs right now.
We’re living in the most extraordinary time in human history. A planetary shift in consciousness is happening. You chose to be here for this. Your role matters. Your awakening matters.
The question isn’t whether you’ll awaken—it’s when you’ll allow yourself to remember who you’ve always been.
Begin Your Journey Today
Spiritual awakening is your birthright. You don’t need special abilities, years of meditation practice, or a guru to guide you. You simply need willingness—willingness to question, to feel, to open, to remember.
Start where you are. Notice the signs around you—those synchronicities and serendipities that the universe uses to communicate with you. Feel the energy moving through your body. Ask questions. Seek truth. Trust your inner knowing above all external authority.
The universe is waiting to support you. Your Higher Self is ready to guide you. And a community of awakened souls is awaiting you.
Your transformation begins the moment you say yes to who you really are.
