A lived journey back to the heart
This book wasn’t written to teach enlightenment.
It was written to name a human experience many people have — quietly, privately, and often without language.
Journey of Awakening and Higher Consciousness is a lived account of awakening through the heart — not as an idea, but as something that unfolds through feeling, presence, grief, love, and the slow dissolution of separation.
It doesn’t ask you to believe anything.
It doesn’t offer techniques or formulas.
It simply walks with you through what happens when thinking softens and the heart begins to lead.
Why this book exists
So much spiritual writing speaks about awakening.
This book speaks from within it — while still fully human.
It was written for those who:
-
feel deeply and don’t want to bypass that
-
have outgrown purely intellectual spirituality
-
sense something real unfolding inside them
-
want awakening to feel grounded, gentle, and human
-
are tired of performing “being spiritual”
This book exists because awakening is not an escape from life.
It is a return to it.
What this book is (and isn’t)
This book is:
-
experiential, not instructional
-
rooted in the feeling body, not theory
-
honest about confusion, tenderness, and grace
-
written from lived presence, not performance
This book is not:
-
a how-to guide
-
a belief system
-
a promise of transformation
-
a collection of spiritual concepts
There is nothing here to master.
Only something to recognize.
What readers often experience
Readers often share that this book:
-
gives language to something they’ve already felt
-
helps them feel less alone in their awakening
-
brings a sense of calm and inner steadiness
-
softens self-judgment

Not because the book does something —
but because it allows something to settle.
